Idk  Maybe they were actually doing their job and making sure the systems were safe? 

Considering all the talk about Russia possibly interfering, could be that the Dept. Of Homeland Security was making sure they hadn't? 

 

From what I read it would be illegal for them to do this unless states gave them permission. 14800 times though in Indiana? Lol. Seems like the states that have reported this so far are all red states. 

Could it be someone from WH or DHS tried to influence election?

Did they influence the election? Or was that some other country?

Let's put this into perspective...

Having read that article... I guess it's safe to assume that you did read it...

 

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/dec/9/georgia-election-officials-accuses-dhs-hacking-sta/

 

 

One has to wonder why Secretary Kemp and Georgia held out on having their systems scanned by DHS. According to the second story, Georgia was one of two states not joining the testing of their systems by the DHS. 

 

I find links for the states of Idaho and Indiana claiming DHS scans of their systems. If all the states but two authorized the DHS to scan their systems, then every state not Indiana and Georgia can't really complain at all. I think if the election systems are considered vital infrastructure to the USA, then to me, DHS may have had jurisdiction and maybe even rights to scan the two systems that had opted out in spite of their choice to not participate willingly in the scans.

Claims of nefarious intent are of course reverberating from wing-nut sites all across the interweb.

and etc.

So all bull crap aside... Given the extremely limited information that we have, do you think that -->OBAMA<-- tried to hack the election? 

Then, using that same threshold, do you think that the Dept. of Homeland Security was nefariously hacking the election?

A specific contractor gone rogue trying to hack the election? 

Some enemy masking their IP and intent by operating under a counterfeit DHS IP?

I'd also be curious to know if any other states (non-red) experienced these scans. At least we know that our systems were pretty safe if our own DHS couldn't break through. The ends justify the means sometimes.

Indiana is saying DHS attempted to hack their election system almost 15000 times before election. Other states have said DHS attempted to hack theirs as well. What's the deal here? What where they trying to do without the states authorization? 

Barry was in power, so what do you think they were attempting? Leave no stone unturned was their motto! Except when not making a campaign trip to the BLUE WALL!xD

I think the current Dem power structure is dangerous, insidious, under-handed, dishonest, and doesn't give 2 craps about you. They'll do anything to hang onto power and line their pockets with as much pork and cash as possible. Their goal is destroy Capitalism and turn this country into a 3rd world hell hole.
