Discussion: DHS Comes Under Fire For Delay In Notifying States Of Russia Cyberattacks

Given their name and actual reason for being, a delay of months hardly seems like they are securing anything.

Hell, its been common knowledge since before the inauguration.

This is a clear case of, who’s policing the police.

The hackers efforts’ did not affect election results or the systems themselves. They mainly consisted of attempts to scan the systems for vulnerabilities .

In other words , the hackers were doing a system check . Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight .

One of the tasks of the DHS is to insure the appearance of a functioning democratic system. There’s nothing to see so why would the DHS need to report on it in a timely manner?

I cannot emphasize this enough. It was a multipronged attack. They tried every way they could think of to disrupt our election.

If the White House instructed DHS not to notify the states for no reason (other than the obvious political one), this should be an impeachable offense.

I don’t buy that for a minute. If they can get into voter registration rolls and campaign databases, they can just as easily get into results databases which are live-updated to news sites across the US. This is the single most important issue facing us right now, more so than Trump or his boyfriend in NK, more so than climate change or anything “security” related, without free and fair elections, a representative Democracy is non-existant.

Um, Florida is on the list.

its very easy to have someone in Russia look like they are using a IP from the US.

Trump’s ratings his whole life have been 30%.

Except for, like, three days, right around Election Day 2016 when he suddenly became Mister Popularity. Is that the story?

Is that why Trump could behave in the most destructively extreme and obnoxious and insulting and perverted ways, and yet his poll numbers just kept a smooth little uptrend. Right up to Election Day. He was more popular. He lost by 3 million votes. He’s back down to 30% again. Because people have health care.

It all makes perfect sense.
