In July testimony before Congress, Mueller warned that Moscow continues to probe for weaknesses in the US election system."They're doing it as we sit here," Mueller told lawmakers of Russian interference.

Has anyone looked at the voting Sistem in Mexico? It's all on paper and you can't cheat.
Have you checked this out with MoscowMitch? Voter machine land is his bailiwick. He protects his property with revenge. You might be messing up his votes & his wallet, too
Oh I'm so glad because we can REALLY Trust DHS. I mean look how they helped uncover OBAMA's Coup that went on right under the noses. Yet some how no one at DHS knew anything about it. I will NEVER Trust any Department or Agency of Government again. Malicious Actor maybe within
joshscampbell I'm an IT specialist so tell me how!
joshscampbell This would never be able to happen in the great states of WA, OR and CO. ALLVOTEBYMAIL
joshscampbell I do not trust DHS with voter databases. They work for the criminal Trump who works with Putin to destroy fair elections.
joshscampbell And what exactly is this program? Does it have any convenient voter purges as a feature?

I wonder if you'll report about Chinese effort to compromise the voting system
