Dec 8, 2016: The state of Georgia on Thursday accused the U.S. Homeland Security Department of apparently trying to hack its election systems
Dec 8, 2016, 6:00 PM ET - In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Georgia Secretary of State Brian P. Kemp said a computer traced back to the federal agency in Washington tried unsuccessfully to penetrate the state office's firewall one week after the presidential election. The letter speculated that what it described as "a large unblocked scan event" might have been a security test.
It sought details, including whether the agency did in fact conduct the unauthorized scan, who authorized it and whether other states might have been similarly probed. Kemp cited the federal law against knowingly accessing a computer without authorization or exceeding authorized access, which is a felony.
"At no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration testing or security scans of our network," Kemp wrote. "Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would require testing or scanning of our network." Kemp said this was "especially odd and concerning" given that he is a member of the U.S. Election Infrastructure Cybersecurity Working Group run by the federal agency...

He is coming out of office soon and has no means of protecting anyone from prosecution for illegally voting in the election.
