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. 😆
@ronnylam @AnnieG @mattblaze Which is why there's an edit to my post in this thread saying I should have checked the date!
But if the 2024 elections were rigged, Matt has the connections to have smelled the rat. No rat was smelled in his networks, so (for the time being at least) I'm gonna say there was no rat. 🤷♂️
@ronnylam @ApostateEnglishman @AnnieG While there are still vulnerabilities in much of US infrastructure (which is why we need risk limiting audits routinely done after every election), there's no evidence that the 2024 election outcome (or any other major US election outcome) has been altered this way.
That's not completely satisfying, but it's what we've got.
