WSJ ^

The secretary of state of Georgia is asking the Department of Homeland Security to explain what appears to be an attempted breach of the state’s computer systems that house its voter registration database by someone in the federal government.

In a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson dated Thursday, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp said the state had discovered an unsuccessful attempt to breach the firewall of state computer systems. The attempt occurred on Nov. 15 and was linked to an IP address associated with DHS, he said.

“At no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration testing or security scans of our network,” wrote Mr. Kemp, a Republican. “Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would require testing or scanning of our network.”

“We are looking into the matter. DHS takes the trust of our public and private sector partners seriously, and we will respond to Secretary Kemp directly,” a spokeswoman for DHS said.

“We will get back to you just as soon as we can concoct a plausible lie.”

Or “we will get back to you just as soon as we can destroy the evidence that leads to a Rat Party operative.”

“Or “we will get back to you just as soon as we can destroy the evidence that leads to a Rat Party operative.”

But Atty. General Sessions, armed with the IP address information should have someone launch an investigation leading to charges against the person or persons who actually performed the attempted intrusion. Then, give them immunity if they will disclose who told them to do it. Rinse and repeat until you get to the top, then charge and try that person and hope it’s this worthless a$$hole Jeh Johnson!

Now we come back to the news before election day that Georgia was in play when that was in fact nowhere near the truth. My spidey senses are telling me that this whole Russian hacking thing was a front for the fact that someone in the Obama administration was heading some sort of operation to massively steal the election by their own manipulation under the guise of security. Consider what was inadvertently exposed with the shenanigans in Michigan. Damn, maybe Jill Stein was just stupid lucky not having any idea she was right, for the wrong side.

I heard on a lib radio show today, 60% black turnout in GA would have turned the state

Now we come back to the news before election day that Georgia was in play when that was in fact nowhere near the truth.

Or the fact that on election night they refused to call Georgia for Trump, even when he was ahead by a huge margin with 80-90% of the vote counted. I figured something was up there, that it wasn't playing out to the narrative they had planned.

Georgia is one of four states that requires I’d to vote plus the state ID is real I’d so you have to provide a birth certificate to get it

Nope. Whoever said that doesn’t know the demographics of Georgia.

Hence all the talk pre-election about Georgia being a “purple” state.

Homeland Security seeks $41.2 billion budget for 2016
February 4, 2015 By BioPrepWatch Reports

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced a $41.2 billion budget request Monday for the 2016 fiscal year.

The budget would improve the unity of effort at the department, Johnson said, focusing on harmonizing DHS business processes. Along with the budget, a new Common Appropriations Structure was also submitted to Congress, which would standardize financial planning, programming and budgets for all DH agencies, Johnson said.

There are five areas the department focuses on each year, and the budget is in alignment with those five missions, Johnson said.

<><> The first mission is to prevent terrorism and enhance security in the country by implementing security for the land, air and at sea.

<><> The next mission is to secure and manage the countrys borders, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States.

<><> The third mission includes enforcing and administering immigration laws and providing safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern.

<><> The fourth mission deals with safeguarding and securing cyberspace, which impacts economic security. The 2016 budget would invest in technology and staff to reduce cybercrime and improve the security of federal network defenses.

<><> The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster.

Johnson said before Congress approves any funding for the next fiscal year lawmakers should approve funding for the current year.

"The Presidents FY 2016 Budget provides the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security to further strengthen our efforts to fulfill our wide-ranging missions, while also being agile and vigilant in the face of ever-evolving threats and recent world events, Johnson said. But prior to acting on the FY 2016 Budget, I urge Congress to fully fund DHS for the rest of this fiscal year, as the current continuing resolution is disruptive, creates uncertainty, and impedes efficient resource planning and execution."
