Homeland eyes special declaration to take charge of elections
Washington Examiner ^ | August 30,2016 | PAUL BEDARD

Posted on 08/30/2016 4:31:16 PM PDT by Hojczyk

"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 has a vital security role in 16 areas of critical infrastructure and they provide a model for what the department and Johnson could have in mind for the election.

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."

A White House policy directive adds, "The federal government also has a responsibility to strengthen the security and resilience of its own critical infrastructure, for the continuity of national essential functions, and to organize itself to partner effectively with and add value to the security and resilience efforts of critical infrastructure owners and operators."

If they succeed in stealing this election — and make no mistake, if Clinton is elected, it was stolen — there will be no more free elections in America, ever.

We will have fully transitioned to the Soviet States of America.

The article about the election being postponed if someone died or dropped out of the race caught my eye.

The elections are held according to our constitution come hell or high water. The fact that a private club's pick for their horse in this race dies is just too effing bad. It in no way changes the constitution for elections.

Yep,I just asked Trump on Twitter his comments on this, I can’t believe this would be acceptable to him. This is a criminal administration putting itself in charge of the elections, absolutely outrageous.

All it takes is a few criminals to orchestrate the fraud and the election is stolen.

I don't think I need to offer links to this, but what immediately comes to mind is the absolute arrogant confidence with which both Hillary and Zippo claimed victory in their respective campaigns. I don't remember Bill's attitude.

Insert a guy who wants to bring this country to it's knees and tosses tens of millions around like it is petty cash...

At least in 2008, OZero actually got the most votes. Yes, the 2012 “reelection” was a fraud, but in ‘08,he actually won the election. What they want to do now is use massive fraud to install a woman who lacks the support of the majority and never had it.

“We’ve been threatening civil war and revolution for the last 7 years. I’m still waiting.”

I’m very pessimistic about any “civil war” or revolution in the US. This talk is a lot of arm-chair wannabes spouting macho nonsense. People today think a lot different than those in 1776, and any real patriots are scarce as frog feathers.

Any real revolutionary intentions would never be posted on online forums, for should the effort fail, any such posts would be evidence enough for their executions. Unless you’re a part of an underground organized effort, you will not hear of any such thing until it has already happened.

LBJ won his Senate seat with ballot box 13 from Duval County, TX in 1948. The oops, look at what we found days later 200 ballots for Johnson and the 2 ballots for Stevens written in the same ink and in alphabetical order gave him the win. Nothing has changed except it’s on a national scale and involves more money.

Even if they wanted to (take charge of our elections)... and they do ... they simply don’t have enough time.

Yours is a MOST enlightening insight, Laz....

....and don't even whisper the salient details in case the Royal Idiot and his Court Jehster are looking for clues......

Moreover, even suggesting this horrendous idea, warrants arrest and incarceration of these two idiots.....for treason.

When I was at the CDC, which of course is the FedGov, I saw what it took to launch a simple web application. Taking over over 9000 precints of transmitted election results, each with differing protocols and methods, would take years. They could accomplish it by 2020.

In 68 days, they MIGHT be able to put together a set of security guidelines. Suggestions, only, and unenforceable.

They couldn’t even control ONE precinct in 68 days.
