Georgia: Feds Tried to Hack Our Election Systems
Fix this Nation ^ | 12-9-2016 | staff

As Sen. Lindsey Graham vows to lead a congressional investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, Georgia officials have their eye on tampering a little closer to home. According to state officials, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security tried to gain access to Georgia’s voting systems in the week following the presidential election. Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp sent a letter to Homeland chief Jeh Johnson this week asking why his agency tried, unsuccessfully, to blast past the state’s firewall software days after Donald Trump was elected president. “At no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration testing or security scans of our network,” Kemp wrote. “Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would require testing or scanning of our network.” In the letter, Kemp demanded to know if the agency conducted the scan and, if they did, where the authorization came from. Kemp pressed further, asking Johnson if the Georgia attempt was the only one DHS conducted without the permission of state officials.

GA does not use paper ballots. It’s disturbingly election: they give you a smart card, you stick it in the voting machine, make your choices, hand card to poll worker. Dunno what happens next.

This is an example why harping specifically on Voter ID isn't the complete solution to voter fraud. Ballot processing/handling/accounting is equally as important, if not more so.

Remember how the Hillary camp kept saying the hag was going to win Georgia?
This does not surprise me at all.

And...... Georgia requires voter ID to vote. No ID then no vote unless you go with a provisional ballot. Related.... To get a DL, state issued ID or other approved ID for voting is pretty much identical to docs required for getting a US passport. Difficult to use forged supporting documents and definitely expensive $$$ for convincing fake documents. When standing at a DMV office window once I overheard the clerk one window to my side get very angry and a bit loud over what appeared to be an American coyote attempting to get an illegal a DL. I didn't get to overhear the conclusion but it appeared to be heading to calling police security over.

I do not trust Lindsey to do anything that would benefit this country. He is a left liberal.

Why are we trying to save paper by having electronic-only ballots?

Because liberals haven't yet figured out that trees are a very renewable resource.

Question: Does GA include a paper ballot? Especially in the case if GA does not include a paper ballot, this gets very suspicious.

Unfortunately no. There is no paper trail. Once you cast your vote on the electronic voting machine, the smart card you inserted to start the process pops out and is re-used. Supposedly your vote is not transmitted, so it cannot be intercepted. It apparently records the vote on the machine. Here is a link to the "Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC)" explanation of the process.

“Obama’s dictatorial abuses of power need to be investigated”......

Shouldn’t take long to come up with a conclusion that he is damn certain GUILTY and should be dealt with accordingly.

The crimes against our country that odumbo has committed need to be punished to make sure whomever comes into power in the future is NEVER, repeat NEVER allowed to repeat. A perfect example of punishement would be to hang him on the WH lawn for the world to see.

jerk johnson said it could be a rogue employee then it said it might be a case of IP SPOOFING!!!

so the alleged Russian intrusion was competent enough to get in, but not good enough to use a phony IP address and then get caught...

these things think we are all stooopid.
