US warns midterms could spark calls for extremist violence
The Associated Press ^ | February 7, 2022 | By BEN FOX

WASHINGTON (AP) — The upcoming midterm elections are emerging as a rallying point for domestic extremists and foreign adversaries seeking to disrupt the U.S. and incite violence, the Department of Homeland Security warned Monday.

Unsubstantiated fraud claims, which have haunted the country since the 2020 presidential election, may be used to fuel unrest and doubts about the elections to decide control of Congress, DHS officials said as the agency issued a new national terrorism advisory.

A senior DHS official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the terrorism advisory before its release, told reporters that part of their objective may be to sow discord and undermine credibility in democratic institutions by promoting misinformation about upcoming races.

The alert warns that the months leading up to the midterms could see extremists using online forums and other methods to call for violence at democratic institutions, candidates, party offices, election and poll workers.

“The best way to resist such efforts is to recognize them for what they are: efforts to weaken the fabric of American society,” said Thomas Warrick, a former senior DHS official who is now with the Atlantic Council. “More will be coming as the United States heads towards the Nov. 8, 2022, election.”

Hi.

Isn’t funny DHS sees a boogie man behind every tree, but can’t see the invasion in the south.

DHS and a number of alphabet agencies should be eliminated.

Oh wait, they aren’t talking about those groups of people.

Yeah if you refuse to look at them I guess you could stretch that to “unsubstantiated “ but if it happens again you better believe it’s all going to get looked at come hell or high water. There isn’t the slightest doubt in my my mind that the future cheating, which the dems are planning and which this very article is a part of, will be wholly substantiated.
