Obama’s secret plan to deploy the military on Election Day
2017-07-21
[NYPOST] ​The B.O. regime ​was poised to send armed federal agents to polling places, deploy the military and launch full-scale counter-propaganda measures in case hackers disrupted the vote on Election Day, according to a report.

​The 15-page playbook, produced in October, outlined the "enhanced measures" the government was prepared to take in the event of a "significant incident," Time magazine reported Thursday, citing a copy of the document.

"​I​n almost all potential cases of malicious cyber activity impacting election infrastructure, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, to include their law enforcement agencies, will have primary jurisdiction to respond​," it says. ​

​The playbook coordinated the responsibilities of the different government agencies -- Department of Homeland Security, Justice Department and FBI -- and dictated how they would "activate enhanced procedures and allocate the resources described in their enhanced coordination procedures to coordinate incident response activities."

#10  Consider part of the motivation for the never-ending Russia tampering with the elections meme being pushed by the MSM, Progs and the WaPo an NYSlimes. If you lay enough pipe about there being some truth behind the "tampering", even if you don't topple Trump, just damage his ability to get things done, you create a narrative in the minds of many that we need to prevent this "something Russian" threat to our elections. Voila, rather than the tamper proof, easily verified paper ballot and voter roles, you get electronic voting, monitored and eventually managed by the federal government. Stalin smiles, because once they count the votes, it will be federal, union, overwhelmingly democrat employees "counting" the votes! Think long game. Clinton/Gore massively enhanced the immigration influx of unskilled, non European legal immigrants and started the whole "diversity" meme. How did that work out for us so far? Same tactic here, long game, not the current reactive crisis de jour by conservatives who can't see the end state the progs have in mind.

#9  Somebody's pipe dream. The operative phrase is "pipe dream."

#8  You just don't deploy the military. It takes time, planning, logistics. And sufficient manpower to cover it all within reasonable distance. Hardly going to be a secret. Somebody's pipe dream.

#6   send armed federal agents to polling places, deploy the military

My Poli Sci degree didn't include that in my copy of the USConstitution. What did I miss?

The progressive left (evil to their core) long to have their own replay of October 1917 in Russia. That's the real "Russian collusion" scandal.

#5  ...The more I see things like this, the more I'm convinced that the most recent season of 'House of Cards' was scrapped and then refilmed after the election.

#3  The B.O. regime was poised to send armed federal agents to polling places, deploy the military and launch full-scale counter-propaganda measures in case hackers disrupted the vote on Election Day, according to a report....Or was it to insure the Hillary-rigged election went on without interference? Obama was and still is a very dangerous guy to the U.S.A.

One reason the Dems are so deranged about Trump's win is that they all believed their fake polls which said Hilda would win by a wide margin. When it didn't happen they went nuts and went to Plan B; the fake Russian collusion scheme to try to take down Trump. They won't be satisfied until they do. They are trying to nullify an election.

#2  Other "enhanced measures" included a media backed, Russian conspiracy disinformation campaign.
