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."

If the feds go manipulate state elections, there will be a civil war.

The coup already happened.

Usurpation Day January 20, 2009

All of our elected and judicial officials stood around and watched as a man who told us he was born a British subject was sworn into office. Natural born citizen is what the Constitution says. One can only NATURALLY be a US citizen when there is no other possibility. People born with other citzenship(s) are not natural born citizens.

Not one of those oath takers would stand and defend the Constitution.

This is unconstitutional. Elections are a power of the States!

That doesn't exist anymore. State Governors are nothing more than Upper Managers to the Federal Leviathan, with the President as CEO.

First: there is no Presidential election in the Constitution.

Second: the government at Washington has zero to do with the choosing of Electors and also has zero to do with their voting (other than Congress setting a date for electors to vote).

VOTE FOR TRUMP. Like your life depends on it. It may well
do just that. IF Hillary does win by voter fraud; unringing
that bell will be as impossible as unringing Hussein’s bell
for the past 8 yrs.

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE. TRUMP.

This has been coming since Florida 2000. Take a perfectly good system, PAPER BALLOTS, which were traceable and trash it.

Been the dim plan all along. Lenin would be proud.
