Why Does DHS Want to Designate Election Booths 'Critical Infrastructure?'

The New York Times and other mainstream outlets have been filled with alarming stories recently about the possibility, voiced by Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that our voting process in the November election could be subjected to cyber-attacks. Johnson told reporters in Washington (and state officials in a phone call on Monday) that he was considering designating our election system as “critical infrastructure, like the financial sector, like the power grid” because there is “a vital national interest in our electoral process.”

There is only one problem with this — there is no credible threat of a successful cyberattack on our voting and ballot-counting process because of the way our current election system is organized. An election official who was on that Monday call, and who has direct knowledge of Johnson’s plan told me that Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler asked Johnson whether he had any evidence of any credible threat to our election system. Johnson’s answer was “no.”

Please notice the date on this article...I have done some research before I posted here, this is what they had all set up when Hillary was named President...after doing what I did in research, I decided that this is why they want to get President Trump out...so they can do their own 'elections'...

Putin elected Hillary after Trump peed on the hookers. It all makes sense

A states issue. No federal intervention authorized. The states run their elections.

The Deep State traitorous kakistocracy want to control the election process in all states. That would, in fact, give aid and comfort to the enemy, and their allies, the DemonicRat Party, to subvert for their own purposes.

These traitors cannot be tried, convicted, sentenced, and hanged fast enough!

We’ll know it’s crooked when the KCOTUS weighs in.

Remember the guy that came out and said that “We the people don’t elect the person, they do” and everyone was up in arms, well now we know where he got that information from...

Your tag line......SCOTUS are elites. MFM is no elite - they might feel they are, but WTP look at them as common, just like US.

MFM = Acme Monkey Business

My reference to the Fourth Estate and the Kangaroo Court of the United States, touches on the idea they think they are some form of government watch-dog, but more often than not these days turn into a Kangaroo Court.

Their treatment of Trump is THE prime example.

The stooges at the MSM sites, are certainly flying monkeys these days.

Jeh Johnson is another “Holder’s Person” who needs to see the inside of a jail cell. We certainly dodged a bullet last year!

Can you imagine the riches flowing to the deep state over the ability to put crash barriers and guard towers around polling places and certify polling booths hacker imune - we have certified that ballots were not printed with secret ink and disappearing ink.

That EIS in 3 volumes that Trump showed for the 8 miles of highway, that is nothing compared to the bonanza for this sort of thing.
