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.

USSA bump for later.....
Now you know the 'real purpose' of Obungler creating his own armed Federal employee police force.
Is this his own form of the "October Surprise " ?
I am sure some will defend Social Security, IRS, and EPA having armed employees - it is called "normalcy bias"
But Obunler's intrusion into the election process would be viewed as treachery
especially, given his already demonstrated bias being 'pro-Klintoon', and his demonstrated pattern of deception and out right lies.
Oh, these simpletons. Why must we suffer them.
“And how real this threat to our electorial system is?”
Oh I think the threat is real enough. There is evidence, at least to me that the last election was affected by voter fraud as well.

Hillary is going down ! Keep the faith. The losers will soon be out of the WH.
Things are rough all over.
Even the the famous dead will be voting...Lyndon Johnson, for instance.
I will believe it when I see it.
Gosh, we can carry open and/or concealed here in Arizona. There will not be any problem here again, unless there are too many voters for Donald J. Trump!!! Then the lines might be long, but I do not think that will happen again!
Go Kelli Ward!
The bathrooms at Target. Oh, wait.......
Anybody hear about this on the networks?
Or...they are complicit.
“it is imperative our electoral process ensures voters vote correctly”
What can go wrong Obama’s in charge. Not a smidgen of corruption anywhere in his administration.
AND NO VOTER ID!!! That’s racist.
What if the democrat Trump voters become so disheartened about the prospect of Hillary that they take advantage of not needing ID, and vote for Trump multiple times?
I wouldn’t recommend it, but you can’t control other people’s decisions.
Federal Voting Rights Act made all elections Federal otherwise they would not keep getting away with blocking voter registration.
Go back to paper ballots everywhere.
It’s being to look a lot like Cook county,
Everywhere we go.
Look at the contempt the GOP-e has had these past few months for the popular will, i.e. voting.
It isn’t that hard to believe that they would conspire with the donks to steal the election.
Is this a threat to make Trump shut up about rigged elections, like, “Quit b!tching or we’ll take it over.”
Why do you think the voter polls are so skewed so much by the media/ press ?
Obungler is creating the thought in the minds of Americans that the vote is close, when it isn't !
Public appearances and rallies state otherwise by virtue of attendance !!
I think this is all preparation for the current administration to pick its successor
and defend that selection by force (ie: Fed. armed agencies), after it has already created the false propaganda that the election is close.
The uninformed and illiterate, who have the memory retention of a gnat, will believe that the patriots are "the enemy", and will oppose them.
If it isn't in the form of a 30 second "sound bite", they will be confused, but will oppose anything that takes away their "freebies ".
