"U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials are warning that hackers with ties to Russia's intelligence services could try to undermine the credibility of the presidential election by posting documents online purporting to show evidence of voter fraud.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said however, that the U.S. election system is so large, diffuse and antiquated that hackers would not be able to change the outcome of the Nov. 8 election.

But hackers could post documents, some of which might be falsified, that are designed to create public perceptions of widespread voter fraud, the officials said."

Wow! It sounds to me like the feds know that there's plenty of election fraud (they may even be involved in it) and that they're worried that it might be exposed even more than it already has been by the Veritas Project. So they're blaming the Russians in advance for it. Scary!

When Hillary said in the last debate that 17 different intelligence agencies had confirmed that the Russians were responsible for something on the internet (I forget what it was - the Wikileaks hacks?) why didn't somebody ask her to name the 17 agencies? And if she could, a perfect follow up would have been to ask why in God's name we have 17 different intelligence agencies.

Yeah, the preemptive warning that any evidence of upcoming election fraud is not to be trusted is suspicious to say the least.

Well when you say it like THAT.

As a personal anecdote, I've been on the rolls in my home county since I was 18. I also registered in a different state when I lived there. Was there anything to stop me (or anyone else) from just voting in both places?

No.

But you could have been forced to get a voter ID card which requires any of 13 different documents to prove your citizenship.

I'd be very surprised if Trump doesn't get assasinated, especially if he wins and the powers that be can't cook up World War III with Russia beforehand. It's not as if the Deep State isn't trying. Trump is their proverbial nightmare.

Slick Hilly also let loose to the world during the debate that you only have 4 minutes to cancel the nuclear launch. Idiot.

It's really a shame so many are going to vote for that hag.

Yep, were supposed to believe it's the Russians because Hillary and the MSM says it's the Russians.

If you substituted the words...Bush for Hillary, WMD's for email hacks, and Iraq for Russia.... its 2002 all over again.

You see what I'm getting at.

I used to think this stuff (NWO, Illuminati, Rothschilds, etc, etc) was crazy conspiracy talk, but when you see it unfolding before your very eyes, and have some insight behind the curtain (wikileaks), I'm pretty sold on the elites being puppet masters who pull strings in order to bring about certain events such as wars.

That article used an awful lot of words to utterly fail to describe what these people are doing. Assuming I understood anything, this is all about the DNSSEC root keys. DNSSEC is not widely used, but probably should be, and hopefully its usage will pick up. It's a big help in preventing identity thieves and their ilk from hijacking your connection to a server.

BUT: it may not have much to do with protecting you from a state actor, at least the state actor in whose jurisdiction your top-level-domain is. Regardless of the root key (which is what the article is about), it /may/ be possible for the Feds to order Verisign (who runs the .com registry) to issue a forged certificate for your .com domain. They don't need the root key for that.

Key pinning may be the answer there. The problem is that key pinning is a risk for the provider of the service. If they screw something up they could easily end up making their domain totally inaccessible.
