Under the guise of providing increased “security” for “critical infrastructure,” the Obama administration is plotting to insert itself and the federal government into the American elections process. While voting is constitutionally the responsibility of state and local officials, Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, pointed to the alleged threat of cyberattacks to justify the latest proposed usurpation of power. The controversial scheme was floated amid growing national concerns, fueled in part by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's warnings of a “rigged” election, that America's electoral system might be vulnerable to major manipulation. Critics and experts, though, warned that the White House scheming may be a first step toward illegally nationalizing the electoral process — with all the dangers that would entail.
Homeland Security boss Johnson, a leading luminary behind Obama's illegal amnesty plot, has said repeatedly said in recent weeks that the administration was thinking of issuing a decree declaring elections to be “critical infrastructure” in need of supposed federal oversight and “protection.” “We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process is critical infrastructure, like the financial sector, like the power grid,” Johnson told reporters in Washington earlier this month. “There's a vital national interest in our electoral process.” In a phone call with state officials, he reiterated those comments, offering “help” with elections.

But did Barky say not a week ago that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN”T GET INVOLVED IN ELECTIONS!!!
Yeah, that’s what I thought...
You know I shouldn’t read anything with O—— name in the headline. I just want to throw things afterward.
Granma voted Republican until the day she died. Now she votes Democrat.
Yeah. It's bad for the blood pressure.
“pointed to the alleged threat of cyberattacks” Jeh and the Bros just want to make sure that the only “cyber” interference is done by Democrats.
Look for the presence of the New Black Panthers at a polling place near you.
Some folds are getting nervous.
A lot of people made deathbed conversions to the Democrat Party. ;-)
Some folks are getting nervous.
Absolutely not. When the hell are we going to be done with letting them violate us.
This is not acceptable.
Keep your stinkin’ federal fingers off of our local elections process.
Obama has already indicated his determination that the Democrats will win. No previous President has been as willing to use the agencies of the federal government for partisan purposes, or as free from media scrutiny.
Maybe that was while the Democrats think they will win?
Hey I thought Shill was wining by 154,839%
Well, after all, the internet technology is BO’Bs. At least to the point when he decides to hand over this entire American creation to his crony Globalists
This transfer of power is to happen in two months time.....just before the elections. Care to think about that a bit and why American people should start to wonder and worry? Will we attempt to make BO’B an Indian Giver or just throw the book at him behind bars? Once again BO’B demands that Americans are no longer the nation’s priority. The cronies in the Satanic circle of evil have elbowed their way in. It is now them who he attempts to please; them who give him the power to destroy......our peoples, our Nation.
Obama’s election security assistance reeks. Obama’s policies reek to the high heavens. God save our elections process.
Not going to happen Jeh. The push back would be epic.
