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.

So there should be no mail-in option whatsoever, because you believe the election workers are an excellent judge of false/true identity and you implicitly trust them to make that call? All the drop box does is cut out the postal service, which has shown itself to be less than 100% reliable in the recent election. Better security for the voters, also much easier to detect if somebody is trying to "stuff" 1000 ballots than if they show up in postal boxes all over town.
Have you ever even been to a polling place? Any polling place I have been to is attended, things going into the drop box are closely observed by poll workers, when there are no attendants, access to the drop box is not available.
Fuck yes it does, and having paid that price with three forms of validated I.D. to get the little gold star on the State issued photo I.D. card, that I.D. card should carry some weight.
We have wanted State IDs for our 17 & 19 year olds since they turned 16, and we don't have them yet. Life, one thing after another, COVID most recently, has conspired to take away our RoundTuits such that State IDs just haven't materialized for them yet. That's with unlimited opportunity for scheduling any day of the year. Even in Florida the voting window is only open for a few weeks per election.
That's not in the control of the people voting, that's in control of the minority elected politicians who are desperately clinging to power any way they can, including limiting access to the polls.
What system of law permits suing for theoretical damages, instead of actual damages? The one in your head?
Just like one side can't get more polling places by saying they need more polling places, the other side shouldn't be able to use imaginary problems to restrict real access.
