State, Counties Upgrading Election Gear That Doesn’t Connect To The Internet And Can’t Be Hacked

"I am thrilled with this technology". "This will be much simpler. It takes a lot of human error out of the equation. We will be able to get results out faster."

"None of the voting equipment is connected to the Internet.

"The pollbooks are, but that's just voter registration data and that is so if you go in and vote out here you can't go over here and vote, too”.

"These machines are among the latest election technology in the country. The USB media that is used is encrypted. The machines also have physical locks on them as well,"

“The new equipment replaces machines installed in 2006”…

Former White House aide Ben Rhodes, who served as Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and advised former President Barack Obama on foreign policy issues, will start his new job on Sunday as a politics contributor for MSNBC and NBC News.

MSNBC’s public relations department made the announcement on Twitter on Saturday, noting that Rhodes will make his official debut on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” and Monday’s “All In With Chris Hayes.”

The dismantling of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in May might have been little more than a show.

In a move widely perceived as a concrete gesture of goodwill, North Korea demolished the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the presence of a few dozen foreign journalists, but no experts or international investigators. The North detonated explosives inside the tunnels, supposedly disabling the test site, but U.S. intelligence officials told CNN the blasts were not strong enough to completely collapse the tunnels.

“The explosions seem to have been too small” to have truly destroyed the test site, an international arms control official explained to reporters, “The fact that journalists were reportedly only around 500 meters from the explosions is a good indication that these were small blasts. And the amount of dust leads us to believe that they were quite superficial.” This assessment is reportedly based off of relevant seismic data.

President Donald Trump blasted “the resistance” on Saturday in his weekly address.

In the video statement, Trump slammed members of the Democratic Congress for obstructing his administration’s political agenda.

“Senate Democrats call it ‘the resistance,'” he began. “They’re resisting the will of the American voter and it is not good.”

“From day one, Senate Democrats have shamelessly obstructed, stalled, and filibustered the confirmations of hundreds of talented men and women who are eager to come to Washington, D.C., to make a difference,” he continued. “They want to serve our country.”

“My nominees face a longer average confirmation rate than any in the history of our country,” Trump claimed, before adding, “It’s a disgrace.”

The Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan group that tracks presidential appointments, estimates that the average appointment wait for a Trump nominee is 86 days — far longer than that of the last four presidents.

“The Democrats in Congress are also blocking badly needed improvements to our border security,” he continued. “They don’t want border security for two reasons: Number one, they don’t care about it. Number two, they’re afraid it’s going to make me and the Republicans look good and they don’t want that.”

“That comes before our country,” he added.

“They have blocked every effort to close deadly loopholes, to keep out vicious criminals, and to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs,” he said. “They are a disaster at the border.”

“These actions are endangering our citizens, threatening our communities, and undermining our national security,” he went on.

“It is time for Senate Democrats to stop resisting… the will of the American people,” he continued. “So very simply, stop resisting the will of the American people and to start working across the aisle to deliver for all citizens.”

“We love our country,” Trump said. “We want to keep our country great.”
