Homeland eyes special declaration to take charge of elections
Washington Examiner ^ | August 30,2016 | PAUL BEDARD

Posted on 08/30/2016 4:31:16 PM PDT by Hojczyk

"We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.

"There's a vital national interest in our election process, so I do think we need to consider whether it should be considered by my department and others critical infrastructure," he said at media conference earlier this month hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

DHS has a vital security role in 16 areas of critical infrastructure and they provide a model for what the department and Johnson could have in mind for the election.

DHS describes it this way on their website: "There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof."

A White House policy directive adds, "The federal government also has a responsibility to strengthen the security and resilience of its own critical infrastructure, for the continuity of national essential functions, and to organize itself to partner effectively with and add value to the security and resilience efforts of critical infrastructure owners and operators."

Paper ballot, purple fingers. It was good enough in Iraq; it is good enough in this banana republic.

Probably this will be the last election in my lifetime. It doesn’t mater who wins, the loser will cry fraud. Whether by stuffed ballots,or by alleged rigged outcome by Russian intervention, it doesn’t look like its going to have a happy ending. As a kid I remember going to Red Hook Brooklyn (That’s in NYC) to see the barn fire on election day. I hope it doesn’t become a burn down the city day nationwide, especially in the districts heavy with Hillary voters.

Even if they wanted to ... and they do ... they simply don’t have enough time.

And what assumptions are we making about their "starting point?" When did they begin discussions about this federal takeover of the 2016 election?

Whatever the answer is, it matters.

Good post.

When the Ogabe regime can steal 400 million in cash and ship it to Iran w/o any sqawking from the pieces of SH!T in congress should tell us all we need to know. This level of corruption staggers the imagination.

We're way beyond the old fashioned demoncrat vote fraud here and there, they'll just change the numbers outright. Will the press call them on it? Will the courts rule against them? /rhet We know the aholes in congress won't do anything.

If HillaryTrump “wins,” it’ll be because the election was rigged. It’ll be a coup. We should all be prepared to do what it takes to restore the republic if such a coup occurs.-Democrats

“Will this be considered a revolution or civil war?”

Funny you ask as I pondered the same. I believe it will be a revolution. Revolution is us against them, civil war is us against us.
