Daily Beast -Two teams of federal officials assembled to fight foreign election interference are being dramatically downsized, according to three current and former Department of Homeland Security officials. And now, those sources say they fear the department won’t prepare adequately for election threats in 2020.
“The clear assessment from the intelligence community is that 2020 is going to be the perfect storm,” said a DHS official familiar with the teams. “We know Russia is going to be engaged. Other state actors have seen the success of Russia and realize the value of disinformation operations. So it’s very curious why the task forces were demoted in the bureaucracy and the leadership has not committed resources to prepare for the 2020 election.”

Letting the Russians or anyone else hack the election makes it easier for Trump to steal it.
When is Congress going to do their job and honor their oath to preserve and protect the Constitution from both foreign and domestic threats. This is not about party, it is about the very survival of our Democracy.
