Let me guess: that includes not telling the counties in question. Because, if the counties fixed the problem, what would the FBI have to non-disclose next election?

I don't think this goes enough. The way things have been going recently, it's starting to look like the only real solution is to amend the Constitution and establish a new international treaty to prohibit copyright.
There is now one final vote by EU ministers, expected to proceed without the drama that accompanied the similar vote for the Copyright Directive.
Hope springs eternal, ..."Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!"
Here's betting on a downvote, because rights are for corporate masters, not peons.
The general consensus among activists in the digital sphere seems to be that the new directive is probably as good as it could be given the past resistance of some governments to the idea of protecting those who reveal their wrongdoing.

In light of the foregoing, Elonis’s conviction cannot
stand. The jury was instructed that the Government need
prove only that a reasonable person would regard Elonis’s
communications as threats, and that was error. Federal
criminal liability generally does not turn solely on the
results of an act without considering the defendant’s
mental state. That understanding “took deep and early
root in American soil” and Congress left it intact here:
Under Section 875(c), “wrongdoing must be conscious to be
criminal.” Morissette, 342 U. S., at 252.
In the case of eminent domain, the government has to pay fair market value for what they take. How are the independent right holders being paid, again? Oh, right, they're not being paid. Just robbed.
Suppose there are five countries, A, B, C, D, and E; and five websites V, W, X, Y, and Z. Suppose A thinks V is terrorist, B thinks W is, C thinks X is, D thinks Y is, and E thinks Z is. Each country will ban its respective accused site, worldwide.
So the result will be all websites will be banned worldwide. No problem.
