ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Apparently now to flailing Democrats, everything is a \u2018threat to democracy.\u2019 So much so that Chris Krebs, the discredited former head of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is joining the liberal chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He simply replaced the term \u2018threat\u2019 with \u2018risk.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThreat to democracy\u2019 is the Democrats\u2019 2022 version of \u2018Russia collusion.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that Krebs was fired by then-President Trump in 2020 after Krebs, without any way to confirm, stated that the 2020 election was the \u201cmost secure\u201d ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CISA is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is tasked with\u201cstrengthening cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while it plays a role in elections, and coordinates with the states, it is not the ultimate arbiter of whether election fraud occurred, or whether there were irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no ultimate arbiter of that, except maybe the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, Krebs is now joining Team Biden in wailing about the \u2018risk to democracy\u2019 posed by Trump, his supporters, and many GOP politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Washington Post Live event<\/a> on Monday, Krebs said that election-related falsehoods and misinformation represent \u201ca tactical and strategic risk to democracy,\u201d citing the number of election denialists running for statewide offices that \u201chave the ability to determine the certification of the 2024 election,\u201d as well as the chilling effect that election-related lies can have on voter turnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Defense One reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Krebs said that lies about the 2020 midterm elections\u2014as well as falsehoods about the accuracy of the midterm elections\u2014exist, because \u201cit\u2019s a great fundraising mechanism\u201d for the former president, his allies and political candidates, and also because \u201cit\u2019s a great clout-chasing mechanism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a benefit to them from an incentive perspective,\u201d Krebs added. \u201cAnd I think the real harm is that it is shifting the Overton window, it\u2019s shifting what\u2019s politically acceptable in American political discourse into something that\u2019s much more dangerous and much more violent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To combat these claims, Krebs said it\u2019s important for Republican lawmakers, in particular, to speak truthfully about the voting process and election security. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of what he says is valid, and I do agree with Krebs\u2019 last point; something Democrats ignore as they push for government efforts to quash free speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to combat false claims by politicians (a constant for millennia, but now called \u2018disinformation\u2019), is by counterarguments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the essence of America\u2019s democracy – the marketplace of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I believe we must ensure our elections are secure, this involves far more than worrying about, or demonizing free speech as so-called \u2018disinformation.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It involves election integrity of the voting process, mail-in ballots, voter ID, and a range of other concrete issues Democrats ignore, rebuff, and refuse to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, there are foreign threats to America\u2019s elections, such as Russian and Chinese hacking and influence operations, which I have repeatedly noted, and these should also be a primary focus of our federal government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Krebs added: \u201cWe’ve seen reports lately of Russia, China, and Iran back at their old tricks, and it is going to create a very chaotic environment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, Mr. Krebs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That too is a \u2018risk to our democracy, and it is where the government can have the most impact in securing our elections without unconstitutionally targeting Americans or their freedom of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
