Under the guise of providing increased “security” for “critical infrastructure,” the Obama administration is plotting to insert itself and the federal government into the American elections process. While voting is constitutionally the responsibility of state and local officials, Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, pointed to the alleged threat of cyberattacks to justify the latest proposed usurpation of power. The controversial scheme was floated amid growing national concerns, fueled in part by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's warnings of a “rigged” election, that America's electoral system might be vulnerable to major manipulation. Critics and experts, though, warned that the White House scheming may be a first step toward illegally nationalizing the electoral process — with all the dangers that would entail.

Everybody back to scantron machines. The definition of insanity is doing Something repeatedly and expecting a different result.
Whether or not this scheme is put into place I have no doubt this will be the most fraud-riddled election ever.
Only the states that invite the Fed help will see any Feds.
2 million polling places. 2 million brown shirt thugs,
How long before that is taken down?
You know they hate those results.
“federal help”
We’re from the federal government and we’re here to help.”
Thanks, but no thanks!
They have everyone believing it is close.
Trump wins in a landslide.
Obama declares election null and says election was hacked.
Yes, that’s true too.
Hate Speech laws have taken away the “Soap Box”.
This article intimates that the administration may try to take away the “Ballot Box”.
I wonder if there is any other “Box” that folks would turn to?
Well, I reckon that means that Trump will have to win before the election.
This is why everyone in the Executive branch is horrified of the 2nd amendment. Fraud will not stand. Lots of crooked lying liberals at polling places are terrified
Decree?? The verbage of a third world dictatorship.
This nation would rise up to kick his skinny ass out of the WH so fast.
Even the State Department is beginning to tell the truth about his lies.
The Banana Republic formerly known as the United States of America.
“Oh wait, that would make massive voter fraud BY THE DEMONRATS much more difficult. “ Well they can’t win by finding a hard drive in someone’s trunk. The big problem with electronic voting is that every time you query a file, it gives the same count. Paper ballots, though, seem to come up different every time they are counted.
I’ve been worried about voter fraud for quite some time. We’ve not made much headway with voter ID and I was unsure as to how we could make this legit.
I do remember the elections in Iraq where voters had their fingers dyed purple after voting.
Why couldn’t we do that here?
Invest in Tupperware!
Democrat trump voters? I doubt there would be enough of them to make a difference anyway. I think there iss a lot of wishful thinking going on. It happens every election cycle.
Alcohol sales are up.
“There’s a vital national interest in our electoral process.”

in multi-gender restrooms too.
Down the rabbit hole everyone!
