Obama Reveals He Is About To Enforce Major Changes To November Election On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson claimed the Obama administration is weighing measures to strengthen polling places this November against cyber attacks. The announcement follows several high-profile hacks of Democrat organizations. The evaluation will debate whether or not to designate electronic balloting systems as critical infrastructure. We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process is critical infrastructure, like the financial sector, like the power grid, Johnson told reporters at a breakfast in Washington. Theres a vital national interest in our electoral process. Johnson also told reporters that the United States has made good progress in voter integrity and security as a result of recommendations made by a commission following the controversial 2000 presidential election. But there is more to do, he added. The nature of cyberthreats has evolved. The DHS head reminded the public that there are over 9,000 polling jurisdictions, all with varying ways of casting, tallying and reporting votes. That varied infrastructure and those different systems also pose a difficult challenge to potential hackers, White House spokesman Josh Earnest commented. Its difficult to identify a common vulnerability. What do you think of these new measures?
