In its latest attempt to interfere in the electoral process, the Biden administration announced on Monday that the Department of Homeland Security is planning to award millions of taxpayer dollars to local governments throughout the country for so-called “election security” purposes.
In an agency press release, the department revealed its plans to provide “more than $2 billion in funding for eight fiscal year 2023 preparedness grant programs,” which it claims are designed to “help state, local, tribal, and territorial officials prepare for, prevent, protect against, and respond to” so-called “acts of terrorism.” Under Joe Biden’s presidency, DHS has routinely identified targeting “domestic violent extremism” as its top priority. Of course, such proclamations are never in reference to violence carried out by leftist groups such as Antifa or Black Lives Matter, but rather right-of-center people and organizations that threaten the regime’s narratives and policy goals.
Included in the new DHS press release are six “national priority areas” for the 2023 grants, with one of the priorities being what the department calls “election security.” Under the directive, grant recipients such as the agency’s “Urban Area Security Initiative” are required to spend at least 3 percent of their total grant money on so-called “election security” efforts. As even the left-wing Bipartisan Policy Center admitted, federal funding for elections has never been conducted this way.
While the press release doesn’t specify what the agency means by “election security,” a separate report detailing the specifics of the 2023 grant program lists several vague “core capabilities” of election security, including “cybersecurity,” “operational coordination,” and “long-term vulnerability reduction.” The document also lists numerous examples of potential projects local election offices could invest their grant money in, such as “online harassment and targeting prevention services” and “physical/site security measures — locks, shatter proof glass, alarms, access controls, etc.”

It helped in 2022 so of course he will do the same in 2024.
Acts of Terrorism?
Probably includes voting for Trump.
.
TWO BILLION!
This is simply to cement into place the fraudulent apparatus they have already used to great effect.
“Largest, most inclusive…”
My niece was all over this in her county on funds for security (zuckerbucks) $40,000 unaccounted for! WTH!
Ya know, a vote for anybody other than the UniParty Grade A US Fed.gov stamped candidates is an act of terrorism
It means in order to ensure the safety of voters they will go door to door in democrat neighborhoods and collect their ballots.
The Stalinists are going to count the votes — like it or not.
“TWO BILLION!”
Under the Constitution, the House of Representatives controls all appropriations. The GOP House will control the 2024 budget. Will they appropriate the $2 billion Biden says he will spend? Their choice, not his, unless they abdicate their responsibility.
“... physical/site security measures...”
Like putting up huge poster size carboard cutouts on windows, to prevent Republican poll watchers from being able to see the actual counting of ballots.
Remember how they did this in many precincts of Philadelphia, with no protest from the GOP!
“Under the Constitution, the House of Representatives controls all appropriations.”
Right. And congress delegating it to others is not legal under the constitution. It fly’s in the face of the what the constitution says. The lawless USSC does not agree.
