More Than a Dozen States Have Activated the National Guard to Secure Midterm Elections
Defense One ^ | 11/07/2022 | LAUREN C. WILLIAMS

At least 14 states have spun up their National Guard units to ward off cyber attacks on the national election that concludes tomorrow, but others have not.

North Carolina is one of the states that has.

“This year, we're in place to ensure that if there's any assistance that's needed, we're working proactively with our state board of elections, not just on the day of elections, but really prior to to do security analysis checks and look into the network to make sure it's as secure as possible,” Maj. Gen. Marvin Hunt, adjutant general for North Carolina’s National Guard, told reporters Friday. “We're really that third party that comes in—it's just assisting them—to give them a different look. So that on election day, we can all have confidence in our election systems.”

Hunt said his cyber team is always working, but will “surge during the election to ensure that we have 24-hour coverage throughout this whole process.”

North Carolina’s units have helped state entities shore up their cyber hygiene and have provided training to most of its 100 counties, he said…

Why would any state need FedGov surveillance of Cybersecurity in elections if no voting machines are hooked up to the Internet?!

2016 - russia hacked the election for DJT
2020 - most secure election ever and no, the machines don’t connect. Don’t be a conspiracy theorist.
2022 - we need NG to prevent cyber attack

Every election they get bolder and more corrupt. Since we are now wise to them the have to up their game. Where are the detention centers? Guaranteed they have planned for the contingency of Americans finally being fed up enough to say Not This Time!

Hunt said his cyber team

//

Why ? Thought the machines were

” air tapped “

And not connected to the net ?

Defacto confession imho.
/\

Apparently, they ARE connected to the Internet

/\

Yup.

Fraudicrats not even trying to hide the fraud anymore.

They will steal this election,
or just as good in their eyes

provoke outrage and violence

so they can declare martial law and suspend this election

or push us into cw2

or throw the results into court ,,

for two years,

while their current fraudicrats remain in office.

.spit.

The National Guard is there to protect the vans that show up in the middle of the night with the needed Democratic “votes”.

That is what you call real democracy!

Not sure what the NG could possibly do in regards to Cyber Security. It makes no sense on the face of it. If far left states are doing it then it must be devious in some fashion.

One day, Biden says our guns are no match for F-15s and nuclear weapons, the next day he says a few dozen unarmed people came within an inch of overthrowing the government and ending “democracy.”

I saw Texas wasn't listed.

Here is some info from our Secretary of State

"Here are a couple of key facts that you, as a Texas voter, should know when it comes to the Security of our voting systems:
(1) voting machines in Texas are never connected to the internet;
(2) only the software that our office certifies can be loaded on voting equipment; and
(3) All voting machines in Texas are tested for logic and accuracy three times - twice before the election, and once immediately after the election."

“the expectation is that Election Day will be a regular day on the internet”

From the article. So why is the internet of any concern if voting machines are not on the internet??????

Not to worry. Presidementia XiJinBiden and his puppet masters have it all under control. Over time, they will provide for their sycophants, while implementing the ‘final solution to the conservative question’.

Uncle Festerman is calling for a ‘dramatic’, come from behind blue win overnight in Pennsylvania, as the mail in ballots are counted. A ‘blue surge’ or a ‘blue steal’?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the demonrats get approximately 49% of the seats in both Houses, with RINOs winning enough so that the ‘rats can pass their important legislation while losing on less important votes. The idea being that, ‘Hey we lost but look at how ‘bipartisan’ we are!’

There are brilliant, evil types in charge of the ‘rat party. As much as they crave absolute power over their American ‘serfs’ (their view, not mine), they are bright enough to know that an out and out ‘blue steal’, like 2020, may well bring on CW2! Expect any and all kinds of shenanigans in the next week.

They should prosecute anyone caught rigging or cheating any election.
