The federal govt is offering states "extra help" in protecting the US electoral system from possible foreign hacking (aka. "The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!")
Elections security: Federal help or power grab? - POLITICO
This is an ominous slippery slope - such federal intervention in state and local democratic processes could end up subverting the American democratic system. The behavior of the IRS towards certain conservative groups in trying to audit them merely because of the political views they identify with, is ample precedent on how power can be abused.
Americans should be vigilant against such dangerous trends now emerging.
