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 whole point is that fraud can easily be accomplished without leaving evidence or only easily dismissible evidence. So, the whole "where's the evidence?" thing is a strawman. You know there's no evidence because the systems are set up in a way that makes it nearly impossible to prove whether voter fraud occurred. This is particularly true with mail-in ballots. They are out in public being handled by unsupervised individuals at multiple steps and even in the best case scenario, there's no way to ensure that only the intended voter can fill out that ballot.
