(CNSNews.com) - In an executive order signed Wednesday, President Trump declared a national emergency to deal with the threat of "foreign interference" in the nation's "free and open political system."
The order says people located outside the U.S. increasingly are able to "interfere or undermine public confidence" in U.S. elections by hacking into election and campaign infrastructure -- or by distributing propaganda and disinformation.
The situation "constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States," the order said.
"Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference, as illustrated in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment.
"I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat," said the order signed by Trump.

Good.
Great move. Now any district with 100+% reporting can be suspected of foreign interference. Now you get to clean it up and see what really happened.
Sooooo.....
What will be the consequences to those violating this EO since it is not a law passed by Congress?
Excellent, and timely considering the Google video
How about Domestic Meddling and Fraud??
If it is an issue of National Security now, then surely it was in 2016, now FORCE the Conspirators in the Media to divulge their sources of classified leaks under the threat to National Security, Now you can JAIL THEM!!!
That’s kind of what I was thinking - this could be used as an excuse to clean up all of the cheating that the RATS do.
Hell, go whole hog. Require that everyone now have photo IDs to vote because those evil Russians might be sneaking in and voting for the MAGA party.
Throw it back in their faces.
Make them suffer.
It’s the equivalent of a sternly worded Tweet.
Preventing Democrats
<><> from importing votes from foreign lands
<><> using digital devices and internet-based technology in collusion with Silicone Valley to alter election results.
Should institute an EO making photo ID mandatory to vote.
To protect the integrity of the voting process .
LOL
Yes, include Google, Facebook, Twitter, CNN, MSNBC, CBS.....
Start by purging voter rolls so that foreign agents are removed. All voters must reapply in person
all of them.
Time for heads to roll.
If I were democrats, and I believed even a small portion of the conspiratorial accusations that I tend to wage against Trump, then I’d be very very scared of this. Once you invoke National Security, you have an interesting range of powers, n’est pas?
And the ironic thing is that the democrats created and opened this Pandora’s box.
Yep. Great way to target voter fraud. Let’s hope once again the Democrats have supplied the rope to hang them with.
Now, who is going to investigate domestic election meddling? We already have proof the DNI, DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNC, 44 White House and Hillary Clinton meddled in the lead-up to the 2016 election and afterward.
Peculiar how Jeff Sessions said the DOJ wouldn’t be politically driven, considering how politically driven it is already proven to be. We know this is the tip of the iceberg.
That headline will make libtard heads explode.
Yep, so take it and run with it and democrats will never win National elections again.
Anybody have the full text? I want to see if it covers Soros.
