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.

I accept the idea that there could be pockets of corruption and fraud here and there. But not on a massive scale. Like faking the moon landings. And be able to keep it a secret. And have no actual evidence (so far). Speculation is fine. But there needs to be some proof before we overturn the election on the conjecture that there might be a few corrupt vote counters somewhere.
I would repeat that statement. Because it works both ways. Trust no one. That's why we have poll watchers at every voting place. And where votes are counted. The only complaint I've heard so far is that a few watchers somewhere were not located such that they could read the ballots as they were counted. Which is NOT their purpose.
I would rewind to four years ago. I was highly disappointed with the outcome. I naturally had suspicions that something crooked might have happened. But when plenty of people on both sides said everything was in order, I was able to accept the disappointing outcome. I didn't have to like the result. But I accepted it as reality. I didn't conjure up conspiracy theories.
