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.

Let me jump in here. When buying a vote. How much would I have to pay for someone to bother voting my way and how do I find one who would not snitch? Those are issues when trying to buy votes. The price for one single vote is likely very high and to make a dent one would need to buy a lot and not get snitched on at the same time. In addition a vote seller could take offers from many vote buyers and send a fake photo to everyone one of them, submitting your own vote for real and cash in. If we'ree going to talk about buying votes, let's look at the logistic nightmare and risks of doing so.
Where I live the vote counts in the local places are so low that we all know who gave that one vote who sticks out.. it's usually me.
