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."

They’ll probably suggest https: (SSL tokens), simple encryption, and stuff like that. All unenforced, just a set of position papers with the HS logo on it.

Add to that the fact that this would be a Federal effort -- and I have seen the Federal government infotech branches in motion -- and you have ZERO chance of success in 68 days.

Heck, if they tried, they'd probably accidentally assign the votes to Trump. LOL

It would take 68 days to create, vet, revise, re-vet, approve and distribute simple guidance papers.

And only if they start TODAY.

And that applies to 9000 voting jurisdictions.

Although I seriously question the accuracy of Obama/JehJohn/clowns' numbers.

9000 voting jurisdictions? Almost 2000 in each state?

Sure! Serving, remember, -130-150 million people who vote, absolutely! If not more.

Elections are a power of the States!

Supremes just knocked down SC's voter ID.

I don’t think the actual voting is rigged near as much as the campaign.

If it is not rigged you are living in a Marxist utopia where a majority of voters have chosen Communism/Socialism, over the Republic.

We also find out which one of our Republic leaders are conservative.

Probably a list that would fit on a cigarette paper.

Most states were fine with it since it applied to mostly southern states.

It only applied to Southern States. Ted said it wasn't needed elsewhere because they weren’t racist like the South was.

To you point the Supremes have overturned every State Voter ID they could after saying it wasn't discriminatory.

Yep, only we the people can stop this

McCain wins with over 50% of the vote and we wonder why we can't effect change.
