Obama Regime to Classify State Voting Systems as Infrastructure
RUSH: Gonna get back to the phones here just a second, but since we were discussing Hillary with the last caller, the point that I wanted to make is, you remember at her... I think it was the Democrat Party convention, her acceptance speech, when she came out with this proposal to invest in "infrastructure," in our roads and bridges, and she had this specific figure attached to it like $250 billion or $300 billion. Remember the reaction that we all had?
"Wait a minute. Been there; done that." We all started saying to each other, "Why don't people remember Obama promised that?" He did: $800 billion for infrastructure, roads, bridges, schools. None of it has happened. Here comes Hillary proposing the same thing." And we ask ourselves, "Why don't people catch this stuff? Why don't they catch it on their own?" We don't know that they don't.
It just doesn't seem that this kind of hypocrisy ever attached itself to Democrats. Well, get this, from the Cybercast News Service. When Hillary says that she's gonna spend money on infrastructure, that's just half the story, because "[t]he Obama White House may designate certain state voting systems as 'pieces of critical infrastructure,' which would give federal technology experts 'more of a role in assisting the administrators of those networks as they deter intrusions,' White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Monday."
So they're going to turn state voting systems -- the machines, the networks, the whole shebang. They're going to try to re-designate that stuff as "critical infrastructure." So now when Hillary starts talking about appropriating hundreds of billions of dollars for infrastructure, she can include the federal government messing around in state election systems, voting systems. Josh Earnest said, "That's something that's being discussed by senior members of the president's National Security team."
"According to a Reuters report, U.S. intelligence officials are worried that hackers sponsored by Russia or other countries may attempt to disrupt the presidential election, and the FBI is asking states to boost the security of their voting systems." And as part of that upgrade, the federal government will now classify voting systems as infrastructure. Well, once you let the Feds get their money hands in on state voting? Oh, my gosh. They just don't stop. They're just trying to infiltrate and swallow and surround as much as they can.
