MaJoC the Filk Convicted felon US 47th President/ Musk Coup (850* d) RE: Convicted felon US 47th President/ Musk Coup 17 Mar 25


Bingo (again): someone else has spotted it. Excerpted in RISKS Digest 34:58, from an AP News article:

Trump administration cuts $10M funding from CISA nonprofit Center for Internet Security (AP News)

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) budget cuts might give you the impression that the WH knows how to rig elections, and does not want any interference from the federal government.

Trump administration officials cut the $10 million in funding needed by the nonprofit Center for Internet Security, a unit of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that addressed election security. The future of two information sharing and analysis centers—the Elections ISAC and the Multi-State ISAC—is uncertain.

State elections officials have asked CISA for more information and sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem urging continued support for elections security.

The followup comment from PGN, the RISKS Digest moderator, is to the point:

RISKS readers have known since our very first issue in August 1985 that sanctioned commericial election systems have been fraught with easily exploited security flaws. This is not just the chickens or dogs running the chicken coop. It is more like the insane running the asylum.

.... the next five articles in that RISKS issue will be of interest to readers of this thread, too.
