“The people who cast the votes don’t decide an election, the people who count the votes do.” – Joseph Stalin
What could go wrong?
Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a “critical infrastructure,” giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid.The justification?The latest admissions of attacks could speed up that effort possibly including the upcoming presidential election, according to officials.
“We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.
“There’s a vital national interest in our election process, so I do think we need to consider whether it should be considered by my department and others critical infrastructure,” he said at media conference earlier this month hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
DHS describes it this way on their website: “There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.”
This is fabulous. The regime that brought you Fast and Furious, IRS targeting of conservatives, that depended on the stupidity of grubers, that lied about obamacare and lied about the Iran deal now seeks to control the 2016 Presidential election. This reminds me of obama wanting to put all medical records online. That assures they can be hacked. It’s the same for electronic voting machines. They and their databases can be hacked. Stealing the 2016 election has been described as “child’s play.” Thi administration has claimed that the Russian have at leasttwice hacked voter databases.
Hackers based in Russia were behind two recent attempts to breach state voter registration databases, fueling concerns the Russian government may be trying to interfere in the U.S. presidential election, U.S. intelligence officials tell NBC News.Are we sure it was the Russians? Because “U.S. intelligence officials” say so? We’re told it was the Russians by the same people who told us “You can keep your plan and your doctor no matter what.” The same people who laughed at stupidity of the American people for swallowing obamacare and who were boastful of playing the press and the people for fools with regard to the Iran deal .The breaches included the theft of data from as many as 200,000 voter records in Illinois, officials say.
The incidents led the FBI to send a “flash alert” earlier this month to election officials nationwide, asking them to be on the lookout for any similar cyber intrusions.

Go ISIS on a federal DHS bureaucrat showing up at a polling place with a bunch of Hillary votes? Hmmm
“Are we sure it was the Russians? Because ‘U.S. intelligence officials’ say so?”
Nobody believes it was anybody but Obama and Clinton — creating the circumstances to declare martial law. There will be rounding-up of those who are perceived to be threats.
One of the saddest things I’ve heard recently was during a Trump Rally a few weeks ago. I think it was in Erie. He said he doesn’t need to be doing this. He built a great business that he loves — beautiful places. He owns great places that he loves. He said, “I may never see them again.”
that's precisely why I highly doubt that the Russians had anything to with this.
It is now time for the military to dissolve the government and take over.
Agreed, Lex. They’re now being open about their takeover attempts.
The elections belong to the states, not the fed. Congress passes unconstitutional laws all day long, from health care to incandescent light bulbs to gas mileage standards, but not this time.
Homeland Security DOES NOT have the authority to take over the election process. Each state controls its own election.
Time for the states to fight back. Ferociously.
ummm... I’ll take door #3, Ken
How much ammo did the government order 2008-2010? If I remember, it was a $hit ton.
DHS needs to disappear immediately.
Door # 3 the US Congress. Go back to start and lose a turn.
obama moves to seize control of the 2016 Presidential election
Then the Republican Party goes into action. Oops, someone called them a name so never mind. They can now be found whimpering under their desks cowering in fear that it might happen again. Has anyone heard from the Gutless Other Party lately, I haven’t.
We are quickly running out of “boxes.”

Where in the Constitution does it say anything about a “Presidential election” (actually, it is implied in one place, extra credit for where).
The majority of african americans would opening approve of this takeover, however, THIS TIME he is hoping that Caucasian Americans will arm themselves and storm the white House.
Congress needs to come out of their cocoons and stop this NOW before blood is shed.
THIS is the straw.
[It is now time for the military to dissolve the government and take over.]
I agree but how would we know isn’t the tyants’ military?
know isn’t= know IT isn’t.
I like it.
It isn’t and I know so.
