No problem with this guy holding the keys to the election.

Paper is a pain, but much harder to fudge.

INGO ever confuses me.

There were reports that certain groups might try to hack the electronic parts of our election system. Cybersecurity is a DHS function. Now DHS cybersecurity for the election is an overreach.

So INGO would prefer paper ballots? Because that worked so well in Florida in 2000...

If we're talking about voting mechanisms and we're doing electronic, it should be open source. Not that vulnerabilities in open source software have never been exploited, but it tends to be more vigorously vetted.

Also, voting is a state thing. Federal oversight notwithstanding, I think it is up to states to insure the integrity of their systems.

Probably just boils down to trust, or lack of.

We constantly see a lack of accountability with government entities, so we have little faith in them. So when one inserts itself into the elections... it's natural to be skeptical of their neutrality. And if they ended up messing with it, how would we... the plebs... know?

 

[nate77]

We would never know, and nobody would care anyways.

Just look at Bernie in California.

Poll: Clinton leads Trump by 7 in Pa. | TheHill

Down from 14, I believe.

Bannon is doing a much better job of keeping Trump on message, and it shows in the polls.

It ain't Bannon.

 

[nate77]

It ain't Bannon.

Does Trump have a direct line to T.Lex now?

Nah, I've been giving him some vibes from the dark side of the force.

Keep your mitts off my #darkenergyforces.

 

[T.Lex]

If he did, he'd be winning.

 

[nate77]

If he did, he'd be winning.

He is doing a better job of staying out of the mud.

Just let your segregates handle the dirty work.

INGO would prefer that THE STATES handle security for their own elections, with .gov cybersecurity flacks performing an advisory roll only

How apropos that requiring positive ID for voting is supposedly a solution in search of a problem but rumors of hacking demands a possible government takeover

Trump something something " ... rigged election" something. Seems a bit like clairvoyance, now, eh?

Actually, sounds more like wishful thinking, by either the candidate or his supporters.

 

[BugI02]

No, no. We want Trump to win.

neverTrump is already working on putting the fix in for Clinton, no need for hacking

 

[JettaKnight]

The vast majority of neverTrump isn't actively doing anything anymore. Now we're just standing back and watching the train crash. Unfortunately, there's no safe distance - we're all taking shrapnel.

I'm sure Hillary will be shown no favoritism what so ever.

Just let your [STRIKE]segregates[/STRIKE] surrogates handle the dirty work.

If only he'd do that and stay the **** off twitter.

Certainly not by Chris Wallace. I think he is probably the most objective journalist named, if that's saying anything at all.
