Such as yours.
> Also, what was DHS going to do here?
Test the app, as they offered.
> This is a private organization doing a [private] caucus in a single state
...So what? How is that a good reason to not care about it?
> DHS should focus on securing the national elections
The national elections are run by the states too. That's how elections work, they are decentralized..
- throwaway5752 7y agoThe director of the DHS said that their testing would not have caught this issue. They are quoted as such in the article referenced in this submission (and I quote their statement here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22239826 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22239826). "So what? How is that a good reason to not care about it?" Yes. "The national elections are run by the states too. That's how elections work, they are decentralized.." Yes, and the FBI, DHS, and a number of federal agencies are consulted and have resources devoted to it. DHS has a webpage describing their involvement https://www.dhs.gov/topic/election-security https://www.dhs.gov/topic/election-security.

- throwaway5752 7y agoI don't know what you want. We disagree. I don't think the DHS needs to be involved in party primaries of any party.
