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.

The people that keep on insisting that there is no fraud keep on failing to get the point. I suspect it's intentional. The point is the following.
I do not hold the burden to prove fraud. The government holds the burden to prove legitimacy. They hold that burden because I pay taxes. They have completely and utterly failed to meet that burden. Anything short of an end-to-end auditable voting system fails to meet the burden. If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.
I want more to be done to prove to me that there was no fraud. A lot more. I do not see the burden being met. Not even close. I do not hold the burden to prove fraud. They hold the burden to prove legitimacy. They haven't met that burden. At all.

The government doesn't run the elections, citizens do! The poll workers are volunteers (although they do receive nominal pay in some places), often retirees and students. Go work an election, or just go vote and look at how it's operated.
