Georgia: Feds Tried to Hack Our Election Systems

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.

Obama's dictatorial abuses of power need to be investigated. Starting with using False News leaked through the CIA to undermine the authority of the President-elect.....

.....due to the irresponsible actions of the community disorganizer turned Subversive-in-Chief, nobody is going to trust anything the CIA has to say in the future as reliable

I wouldn’t trust Lindsey Graham to pour piss out of a boot with detailed instructions written on the heel.

This is beyond Nixonian in its implications. It’s quite simply an overt act of treason.

Isnt the CIA spying on Americans and trying to interfere in our elections?

This is not the CIA to work on but the FBI, but since the FBI has its own things to say about Hillary...

Conjecture: Though Trump won GA 51:46, perhaps because many in GA did not vote, a plot was hatched to find “missing ballots” which first required having the GA voter rolls. A couple million did not vote. The gap is around 180,000. they figured they could make up the difference with a “recount”. Question: Does GA include a paper ballot? Especially in the case if GA does not include a paper ballot, this gets very suspicious.

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.

Obama needs to spend his retirement at Ft. Leavenworth along with most of his associates.

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

I have no problem with electronic tallying systems, as long as there is a physical paper trail that can be examined as well.
