The people who cast the votes dont 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.
Theres 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. Its the same for electronic voting machines. They and their databases can be hacked. Stealing the 2016 election has been described as childs 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? Were 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.

“Why wont Congress speak up?”
Follow the money.
This time, we won't have the stink of slavery undermining the justness of the cause. A sad alternative, but it may be final recourse to AVOID a civil war. We haven't had a representative government in years, it's a facade now.
We have some of the most sinister and corrupt political leaders in world history. Risking war with a nuclear capable Russia instead of accepting honest election results.
I fear we have lost our country.
are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction
= = =
So how is someone, something going to incapacitate or destroy our individually, state-based systems?
Unless he means voter machine hacking and voter fraud.
Those black panthers already incipacitated the system, and “What difference does it make?”
Wait, I’ve got it. White Lives Matters is going to steal all the pencils in the US.
Qui bono? The Democrats and their cyber department, the NSA.
