I'm sorry, are you suggesting that Russia was able to prevent Americans from voting??
They bought some Facebook ads for fake Black Lives Matter and LBGT pages and organized Anti-Trump rallies. They didn't convince 83% of all US counties to vote for Trump.
Facebook finds Russian ads that sought to sow division during U.S. election

The giant social network says the ads that ran between June 2015 and May 2017 carried "divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum," touching on topics such as LGBT, race, immigration and gun rights, though most of them did not directly mention the election.

And the ad buy was only $100-150K. That's not very much at all.
