Trump's official denouncement of former CISA director Chris Krebs (in the form of a "Presidential Memorandum") is chilling in substance and utterly Stalinesque in tone. By threatening anyone who hires him, it aims to render Krebs effectively unemployable.
I said it then, and I will repeat it now: There is simply no evidence that the 2020 election was "hacked". Krebs's forthright clarity about this in November, 2020 was a brave and important act of public service.
@mattblaze Paul Krugman - an economist not a cybersecurity professional - raised concerns about the vulnerabilty of US electronic voting machines in a piece in the NYT, which I have in print if you want to read it (we have everything in print).
But nope, there's no evidence so far that the election was stolen in this manner.
Edit: I probably should have read the year in Matt's post. 😆
@ApostateEnglishman Yes, I am well aware that there are vulnerabilities in much of US election infrastructure, some of which could be exploited to alter an election outcome. That's a serious problem, and we should prioritize addressing it more than we have. I've personally testified before congress multiple times about this. There's no running away from this fact.
But there is no evidence any election outcome has been altered this way so far. We've been fortunate.
