FBI, DHS say hackers have gained access to election systems
Fox News ^ | 14 Oct 2020 | Brooke Carothers

Hackers, possibly nation-state actors, have penetrated U.S. government networks and accessed election systems, the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a joint alert.
In some cases, there was unauthorized access to election support systems, CISA added. The agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, explained there is no evidence so far that the integrity of elections data was compromised and that "it does not appear these targets are being selected because of their proximity to elections information..."

Here we go again!? Trump must be ahead in the polls.

Is this going to be an “Election”? Or “Selection” by the deep state?

I am less concerned about foreign nations and more concerned about the tech establishment, which is profoundly anti-American.

“...there is no evidence so far that the integrity of elections data was compromised...”

Plus the fact that there is no National Electronic Election. Each state has their own.

What they mean is the FBI has hacked enough election servers to slow things down long enough to keep counting provisional and newly found mail in ballots until there is enough for Biden to win.

The FBI is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE and needs to be abolished.

Obviously you don’t need to penetrate the election systems of all 50 states. Cheating a few votes in a few states would steal the entire federal election.

Yes I am far more concerned about the people who say they found this.

Wasn’t there an issue with DHS trying to hack Georgia’s election database in 2016? That is why they waited so long in the evening to declare Trump the winner. That’s what I recall.

Critical voting assets should never be online. They shouldn’t have network cards, wifi, bluetooth or anything. The only way for data transfer this short should be through physical interface. Anything else is negligence.

Later it turned out that they were targeting multiple states. Their excuse was that they were testing the systems to see if foreign actors could get in, or some such nonsense, but they were up to some bad stuff.

We have some at FR who are reassuring us that our team is on top of all of it this time, but after the 2018 ballot harvesting debacle, I’m not convinced until I see it.

In 2016 our own DOJ was hacking in and goofing around in various states.
Think it was Georgia who called them up and asked why.

Does this mean now the FBI has a reason to go install ‘security’ patches that are in fact carefully crafted malware that can be used to ‘correct faulty’ voting patterns in key battleground states? You’re right the internals must be showing a Trump landslide, and recent court rulings are screwing up the plans to seal the elections days after it’s over.

This also gives the Left another meme to run on for the next four years if Trump wins, ‘The Russians did it again’.

For 200 plus years this country was the model for peaceful transfer of power, but since 2000 the Left has done everything they can to destroy that when the power isn’t transferred to them. That is one of the worst, and most long term damaging things they’ve done to the country in their quest for power. No one under the age of 45 will ever totally trust the integrity of the American electoral system.
