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.

    See elsewhere in this topic where the few states that DON'T have paper trails are all states that voted for Trump.

    I don't know of anyone who suddenly thinks that electronic (paperless) voting is a good idea. But it's funny that only red states use that. The states I would LEAST trust to run a fair election use paperless voting, oh my.

    It's funny that with all the crying about the election being rigged, nobody can seem to come up with any actual evidence. In fact, quite the contrary. Even Republicans are saying how well run this election was. Republican judges throwing out Trump's baseless suits for lack of any actual evidence.

    BUT THAT'S THE PROOF! The fact that those state went for Trump shows the fraud in paperless voting machines! No one in their right mind would vote for that dumbass, so THOSE are the areas you need to focus your attention on for fraud.
