The Guardian has a story detailing the firing of Christopher Krebs, who served as the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa)
President Trump made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, saying Krebs "has been terminated" and that his recent statement defending the security of the election was "highly inaccurate".
CISA last week released a statement refuting claims of widespread voter fraud. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," the statement read. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
Krebs, is a former Microsoft executive, and was appointed by President Trump after allegations of Russian interference with the 2016 election.

But you've set a catch-22. Without an investigation, there could be mistakes or fraud, but nobody will know. Is that an okay system?
I'd advocate for everyone using paper ballots, and counting 3 times, or as many as necessary to achieve reasonable convergence. "Reasonable" meaning: if the margin or error is greater than the difference between the totals, you need to count again.
This ain't rocket science. Or maybe it is and should be done by rocket scientists.
