Obama loves his power, but things were just taken to a whole new level with this new push from Obama’s Department of Homeland security that could allow the government to determine the outcome of elections by literally having their hands in the voting machines.
They claim they’re doing it to “protect” the election from being hacked, but there’s no way Obama and Jeh Johnson are going to get conservatives to buy it.
From Politico:
The federal government wants to help states keep hackers from manipulating the November election, amid growing fears that the U.S. political system is vulnerable.
But Georgia’s top election official is balking at the offers of assistance — and accusing the Obama administration of using exaggerated warnings of cyberthreats to intrude on states’ authority.
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s objections add to a bumpy start for the Department of Homeland Security’s attempt to shore up safeguards for the election, during a summer when cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee have called attention to weaknesses across the electoral system. Cybersecurity experts call tougher protections long overdue for parties, political advocacy groups and voting machinery, but DHS’ efforts risk becoming caught in the same partisan arguments about state sovereignty that have hung up programs such as President Barack Obama’s Medicaid expansion.
“It seems like now it’s just the D.C. media and the bureaucrats, because of the DNC getting hacked — they now think our whole system is on the verge of disaster because some Russian’s going to tap into the voting system,” Kemp, a Republican, told POLITICO in an interview. “And that’s just not — I mean, anything is possible, but it is not probable at all, the way our systems are set up.”
According to Yahoo! news, the FBI claims that foreign hackers have infiltrated voting systems already. However, this is likely just a play to provide more “proof” that the government needs to have their hands in election systems.
I’d rather trust the Russians than Obama’s DHS
He is such and idiot!!! Keep him OUT of the elections!!!!
Heck No!!! The US government right now is corrupt to the core!!!
Run a manual count of ballots check id cards of voters get it right
No Way.
We need to go back to the way we voted before the computers were invented! No machines!!!
What ever is done ,keep the Federal Government away from the voting machine and computer hard drives.
There is no way that Obama has a right to be in charge of this election. That’s a fixed election if he is allowed. No one from any party should have that right.Someone from the Judicial Branch needs to put a stop to him.
Where is congress and senate they are supposed to stop shuck as this and the other things that have been put up just on obama’s word he is supposed to offer vsujection not make laes by himself
They can’t protect nothing !! Their TSA is a joke !! They want to elect billary, they are the most biased dept. in the govt. Not just no, but HELL NO !!
What is one more lie. The government needs to close the doors and let Americans run the country. I bet things get straightened out pretty quick.
Keep those slimy cockroaches away from the polls
Dems are running scared, now try every trick in the book to change the election so they win, regardless of what the public votes for.. Obama can’t give up controls but if he has to, he wants hil-liar-ry to continue on with his destruction of the US.
WHERE THE HELL IS CONGRESS?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
