Today, President Donald J. Trump chaired a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) to receive updates on the whole-of-government approach his Administration is implementing to safeguard our Nation’s elections. This effort was put in motion at the beginning of his Administration and has been carried out to support State and local election officials in all 50 States, the Territories, and the District of Columbia.
The President has made it clear that his Administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from any nation state or other malicious actors.
The President’s discussion with his NSC addressed threats posed to our elections from malign foreign actors, efforts underway to provide cybersecurity assistance to State and local authorities, and actions to investigate, prosecute, and hold accountable those who illegally attempt to interfere in our political and electoral processes. The Trump Administration will continue to provide the support necessary to the owners of elections systems – State and local governments – to secure their elections.

President Trump is perhaps the third (after Washington and Lincoln) best US President ever.
The future generations will certainly confirm that, unless the greedy and power-thirsty “liberals” take over and, following Obama’s path, will completely destroy this great country.
I totally agree. But it is a real threat these horrendous liberal leftist. Actually there are no real liberals left as a party. They have all gone to the left and this is dangerous.
????
If the American electorate is stupid enough to let that happen, then they deserve all they get. Unfortunately, it will effect the rest of us REAL Patriots!
I hope he does something about the illegal immigrants that some states are allowing to vote .
I Agree Whole Heartedly….
I agree, except I loved Reagan as well. I am so happy this subject is being addressed. We have to stop San Francisco for allowing illegals to vote! This simply is not Constitutional, illegal, AGAINST THE LAW, aliens, from another country. I am sick of those illegals who do not, and will not contribute to this country having a say in who we elect for POTUS. Demoncraps are so desperate, they have to import Democratic voters! I know our president is on top of issues of importance, and I hope he will never allow this to happen. Surely, it is time that the Democratic Socialist of America stop fighting him all the way, and start obeying the law of our land, or get booted to the curb. Why are the Socialist Demoncraps able to dictate what they are going to do, and snub the Constitution and our President. If we did this in the ineligible BO REGIME, there would be no end to the Socialist/Marxist Media harping on the corruption of those that dare question the ALMIGHTY BO, and everyone knows it. That is everyone with a brain and common sense. When is President Trump going to ORDER Killary and BO’s ARREST for Treason, selling weapons to our enemy. When is Killary going on trial for authoring the Dossier in attempt to frame Trump, and interfere with a U.S. election? When is Killary and the Deep State going to be held accountable for the biggest counterterrorism scheme in American History? Uranium One, she urged Putin to buy U.S. Uranium, selling him 20% of our uranium for 140 million dollars. Then she had the money laundered globally, in foreign banks, so that it couldn’t be traced by U.S. laws, FOIA, or Congressional subpoenas. Then the money from the sale was safely deposited in the Clinton Foundation. Mueller, Clapper, Comey, and Brennan, plus Strozk and Page knew about it, and turned a blind eye. She then destroyed 30,000+ emails, on a private server, discussing National Security Secrets, which is TREASON, any novice could hack that computer and retrieve the emails. Destroying the emails hindered a federal investigation! To top it off, she helped arm and create ISIS by political decisions made when she was Secretary of State. President Trump, on the other hand, has improved our country greatly from the cesspool the last Regime put us through. He is every bit the leader that we elected, and is keeping every, single one of his promises to the American people. Amazing, considering his success’s so far, that the man hasn’t folded or gone insane from fake scandals, dossier blaming him, and still the liberals blame him, for collusion with Russia, when it was all Killary’s doing, and yet, he goes on, 4 hours of sleep a night, up and ready to go! He truly is a phenomenon. Killary sacrificed our country for her wealth. President Trump sacrificed his wealth for the country he loved. Easy to see which one an American Patriot, Christian, that puts God, Country and Family above all else would chose.
BAN VOTING MACHINES OR CALIFORNIA WILL CHEAT AND GO FURTHER COMMIE
I hope the President will insist that anyone voting in a national election will have to show a valid id!
Agree completely. Praying for our president and his family, staff and supporters in the White House and Congress.
Be interesting if there is a move to return to state run elections and to remove the ability of even a possibility of election fraud by the private companies that provide the election machines. However the primary problem with our election system is that we so seldom have suitable candidates who will put the voters first and not huge campaign donors.
Unless we ensure that dead people and illegals aren’t voting – and that people ARE who they swear they are – we will NOT have legitimate elections. Any voter should have to prove they ARE who they say they are – picture ID. California allows anyone to vote – and we’re not allowed to ask for ID, they don’t have to be able to read and write English, let alone speak it.
Get out and vote for ones who support our president replace the ones who do not
Yes gary nelson , & I add …..
Our Great President Mr TRUMP is been attacked by All forces of evil in the camp of the demonRats . But We the Deplorables have the Big gun , “PRAYING” . I am asking to all of You to constantly talk to & pray to GOD the Father & Jesus the Son to protect & guide our President .
Lets do it to MAGA , & vote TRUMP’s type of Republicans everywhere all the time except paul ryan & mitch mcconnell .
mueller is not only corrupt , evil & traitor , he’s a thief , he’s after the money he’s cashing in & will streach it as long as he can .
Mr Sessions why are You NOT doing your job & fire rosenstein & mueller & all the other creepy crooks .
HAPPY TO HEAR THIS, BUT I LIVE IN CA. HOW CAN HE HELP US HERE BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS CHEAT
My greatest concern is illigals voting, “dead” people voting etc. I don’t trust the Democrats or even many of my own party in any way…………..this may be more important that worry about foreign govt. Go President Trump and continue to surround yourself with only people you can trust to support your agenda to give our country back to the people!
The greatest threat to our democracy is the democrat party.
A very absolutely true statement.
You have to remember we don’t live in a democracy, Our Country is a REPUBLIC! Hence the words in the “Pledge of Allegiance” “And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, ONE Nation, Under GOD! These are just some of the words the DEMRATS and RINOs forget about and refuse to accept.
The greatest threat really is the people that do not go to the poles and vote. We have to let our individual voices respond in uniform action to rid the system of anyone, Democrat or Rino, that will not protect our constitutional rights.
The greatest threat to our Republic is calling it a “democracy”.
Liberty. Constitution. Republic.
….About time that something was done to prevent the crooked Lefty Liberal DemocRATs from abusing the US voting system!!,….It is time to put a stop for illegal aliens from voting, also criminals in jail that have lost that right, should also not be voting, and finally the dead, the dead should not be voting!!,… Thank you President Trump!!,…..
“After nearly two years of calling Russian election interference a hoax and its investigation a witch hunt, President Donald Trump on Friday presided over the first National Security Council meeting devoted to defending American democracy from foreign manipulation.
“The President has made it clear that his administration will not tolerate foreign interference in “our elections from any nation state or other malicious actors,” the White House said in a statement afterward.
But current and former officials tell NBC News that 19 months into his presidency, there is no coherent Trump administration strategy to combat foreign election interference — and no single person or agency in charge.”

We’re just so thankful to have a President who puts our country first instead of playing politics which harms the country. Can you believe the left is putting out that Obama had high economy ratings?? I read it on twitter. It’s ridiculous!! Anyway, common sense and good ‘ol backbone are SOOO refreshing!
If I may. I actually don’t think that interference by other countries is as bad as allowing illegals to vote. So where is Trump handling this? I know he must for obvious reasons do security against foreign interference but really illegals voting in several states now. What is being done to stop this???????
All well and good, Mr. President; but what are you doing about Sanctuary States, Cities, Towns, Voting Districts, and the demoncrats that are not only allowing but encouraging illegals to register and vote this fall. I think that any and all of the above should not have their votes counted and added to the national election results.
My exact thoughts. This is where the real problem is. Does anyone read our comments?
Exactly!! It’s STATE voter Fraud I’m concerned about. ID
Every one should prove they are citizens before they can vote.It’s not hard to understand
We already have the paper ballots, so they can be audited in the event of an electronic breach. I’m more concerned with folks busing in unregistered voters in these sanctuary cities, to be honest. I have seen it during the Obama/McCain election. I don’t consider the Russian’s funding social media to be “election meddling.” The majority of voters have their minds made up and the folks who voted for Trump will be doing so again. I venture to guess more will show up for his second term, swinging the votes further in his favor via electorate. The DNC mystery candidate will not have a chance, given the success of President Trump in reversing toxic policies that have “culled” America’s enterprise and strength. There really is no point in voting for a DNC candidate, and I sincerely hope the DNC self-terminates as the corrupt globalist sell-out it is. After seeing the corruption in the fed from the BATFE, DOJ, and FBI and the political influence the DNC has within it, I have to say it’s time to move away from a DNC/GOP power dynamic and make some changes that make sense for Americans. The DNC has nothing left to offer any of us but rhetoric, and more establishment globalist funded nonsense. No matter where your political orientation lies, the DNC has failed us all. If they don’t support the US Constitution and put America first, do not vote for them! I don’t want to see a Tea Party, Libertarian, nor do I want to see a Socialist or Communist Party rise in America. There is no common ground for Americans, we are too easily fooled into rallying for the sadistic agenda of the wealthy and powerful. Our middle class has shrunk, but hopefully, that changes in the years to come, but I won’t hold my breath. Extremism is not freedom, nor is it patriotism and the American dream! President Trump is the leader for the job, for now. I’m amazed at what he has accomplished thus far.
Yo Bunky,,,,,There is no such thing as the “Tea Party” and there never was such a thing as a Tea Party Candidate. – You have been watching too much television. It’s known at the Tea Party Patriots and we only endorse or condemn candidates that run for office. We do NOT put up our own candidates at all and never intend to.
As far as the Libertarians go, what is wrong with a party that at it’s core believes “that government governs best that governs least” Our President is like minded in most things.
Don’t fall for the News media’s bullshit….And for the record I am a life long Republican and have voted as such since I got back from Vietnam in 1968 (I was too young to vote at all before that) ,,,, but I am also a Tea Party Patriot.
BTW, What’s with bad rapping the rich? – You ever get a paycheck from a poor person? I never have.
MAGA Get on the Trump Train or get run over by it. We are all winners. They are all a bunch of losers.
There were Tea Party candidates in Florida, but they weren’t associated with anyone in the conservative establishment. They were Democrats hoping to fool conservatives into invalidating their votes. We need to engage our logic and quash our emotional egos in order to stay true.
The same thing applies to social media! Bad actore (trolls) drop anti Semitic and violent outbursts on conservative chat boards in order to make us look bad. When you see these things, call them out and ridicule them for being trolls.
There have been changers to elections that were for the purpose of cheating by democrats. These were motor voter, same day registration, online voting, no ID to vote, etc, and if we just eliminate those things, and return to hefty penalties for cheaters that are caught we might begin having fair elections again. Its amazing how handily Trump won in ’16 , especially with the hanky panky that took place in EVERY American big city, ALL demotard run.
It must end, and stopping may avoid our nearing civil war.
All peoples in all US Elections State, Local and Federal should be required to present proof of citizenship via a passport, DL, or Birth Certificate or they cannot vote. Why is this even an issue?
Sanity and words of wisdom spoken here!
Driver’s licenses are being issued to illegalsso does not guarantee oting rights,
Much more productive and professional than wagging his finger at President Putin on the world stage like the Democrats wanted. This might actually address the root issue while their solution would have just been window dressing. They are classic “big hat, no cattle” although they even seem to have difficulty getting that expression right!
The truth of the matter is that foreign influence is just a smoke screen to draw attention away from the real problems.
The real problem is the Democratic criminals who run these voting stations. They help facilitate multiple voting from the same person, allow the votes from illegal aliens, and any other funny stuff they can think off!
ID cards would be a good start for this. The Democrats have depended on their criminal actions for so long, they’re scared to death that if required to show ID when voting, any margin they have now or in the past, would be greatly reduced. In many instances, they really lost!
The story is clear about one precinct in Pennsylvania where in counting the votes in 2012, the complete district had NO VOTES FOR TRUMP out of 1,000’s of voters. What are the real chances of that every happening.
Without lying, being dishonest, two faced and always crying “chicken”, the Democrat party would simply fade into a curiosity and an example of things in America we would like to forget!
Dave
But all the “Russian collustion ™” occurred on O’Blamo’s watch! Guess Trump has to undo another disaster left by POTUS 44. This is also an illustration that each state is responsible for its elections; the STATES should have a plan primarily!
The only way to defeat these Election fraud violaters is to issue voter ID cards to only the American citizens. The Democrats don’t want them only because they want to cheat at the polls.
And also, not to forget, to curtail all the DMV’s stations throughout the land that issued as many voter cards to anybody including the non-documented and yes illegals.
If states do not enforce citizen only voting, their votes should not be counted in national elections.
Expose/boycott,prosecute all these deep state treasonous NAZI commie liberals demoncrats post-haste ,Patriots! Drain the rat infested swamp President Trump! Vote Republican in November, no RINOs, please!
How about ID for voters and making sure only eligible American Citizens vote and not the dead, unregistered, illegal and multi-state residents voting twice. That would probably have more of an inpact than whatever foreiners are able to do.
Since Soros has his hand in majority of the software used in voting machines, we should all DEMAND paper ballots. Soros is a sick sadist who despises AMERICA & our Democracy. Why in the world is that plick allowed to have a fingertip in our election process, he should lose his Citizenship and be sent packing back to the rock he crawled out from under.
I praise our Great President for attempting to clean up the voting process but let’s be real, his haters are many & those haters would love nothing more than to anhialate him. If that means they do so by cheating at the polls then they will mans every attempt to do it!
Isn’t it interesting that in Antrim County, in the State of Michigan, we must provide a picture i.d. to be able to vote? WHY isn’t that the case throughout the United States??
What about the massive voter fraud that the Democrat Party is creating with their illegal aliens and sanctuary cities going to let them vote in th,e 2018 election even though they are not American citizens as the our Constitution calls for and they are criminals also for brekaing our border laws??? Why isn’t the DOJ going after that Demcorat voter fraud, AG. Sessions, isn’t that breaking our election laws ??? Are they going to get the same pass on lawbreaking that Hillary Clinton is getting for it sure looks like it????….
Where I vote, it is required to present my voter’s registration card, and then sign the register . Then the poll worker checks my signature Gainst the one on file in order to see if it matches. Then I vote on a machine that is a stand-alone system, not connected to the internet.
After the polls close the machines are rounded up and tallied, and then totaled. I believe that there is little to no opportunity to hack the system. (I am voting in a community (county) of roughly 66,000.)
All this time I thought President ZERO told his buddy Vlad to “KNOCK IT OFF” and that fixed everything!!! I guess the URANIUM deal and CRIMEA and HALF OF THE UKRAINE just wasn’t FLEXIBLE ENOUGH!!!!
Mr. Trump, I have always been asked for my Drivers Licence or now my passport before I vote.
There must not be this same mandate for some states. We need you to put a mandate for all states to do this to make sure they are leagal and US citizen. Do what you do best MAKE AMERICA GREAT !!!!
Thank you
supporting TOTALLY CORRUPT election official will only INSURE crooked election results
This is a good start but what about domestic actors? The Democrat States will have illegals and prisoners voting again. This must be stopped. All voter rolls must be clensed of people who are deceased or not voting. ID should be required in every state. Only way to ensure fair voting is for the Feds to step in. Pass a Fair Voting Act. Make it the law of the land. No party should be able to monkey with the vote and vote counting.

Who is Jeff Sessions…what position does he hold??
The Russians are the least of our voting problems. There is far more danger from the illegal votes of illegal and legal non citizen residents and illegal multiple voting by citizens. Democrats do not want to limit voting to American citizens for fear of losing votes, which would happen.
Please fire Jeff Sessions today – not tomorrow. John Kennedy’s brother was his Attorney General. The President is without that kind of support – which he must have. I am disappointed with Sessions. Please do not let Mitch O’Connell hold the President hostage. Mr. President, please take charge of the Republican Party NOW. Thank you for being the man for the ages at this time . I pray that God blesses you and America during these crucial times. Jay Striegler
To prove that the democrats promote voting fraud, a company named ES+S Election Systems & Software had provided “pcAnywhere remote connection software” to a small number of customers between 2000 & 2006 which was installed on the election management system ES&S sold them. This enabled election officials to program the equipment to falsely register fraudulent votes to one party regardless who was voted for using that equipment.
In order to stop voter fraud everyone should have an ID card with their picture stating they are a citizen and eligible to vote, no drivers license should be an ID because too many states have issued drivers license to illegals, unless on the license it states non citizen, obama told the illegals they could vote and there would be no punishments if they did this message needs to be corrected, let the illegals know if caught it is a deporting offence and they will be deported, no if, ands or buts
Thank You President Trump for MAGA, and for all your hard work in doing so. We pray for you and your staff and your families.
Time to make the democrats accountable for their not working for the American people who had elected them yrs ago and hd worked for themselves and dtheir plan to destroy America they are corrupt you must clean that swamp, and remove all socialist, communist people from our government. God Bless You, and May God have Mercy on America………American’s get out and vote for REPULICIANS help President Trump to continue in MAGA he needs at least another 4 yrs, as all this time he has worked on undoing the last presidents destroying programs that have hurt America Obama gave money to terrorist, allowed terrorist in America also DACA and illegals and allowed them citizenship w/o groing through the process this is illegal too,
The Poll Workers have always been a concern & voting by mail is another concern. I want to believe that the Voting Procedure is Secure, but I usually walk away wondering if my vote will be Counted
Until the Migration Invasion came to Our Country, I believed in our Voting Process, but we were all American Citizens Then.
THE DEMOCRACY IS CORRUPT MAKING WORST AND SICK MENTALLY. PEOPLE IS TIRED OF THE LIBERAL MEDIA. I HAVE HEARD MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR GOP. REPUBLICAN PARTY.
IT’S TRUE THE OBAMA CAUSED A THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRY, HE CHANGES THE COUNTRY FOR THE WORST. IN 8 YEARS HE DID COMPLETELY THE DREAMS OF HIS FATHER” HATEFUL WAY, DIVIDED THE COUNTRY. THE DEMOCRATS SEE THE WORLD IN WRONG DIRECTION AND BACKWARDS…THE DEMOCRACY IS CORRUPT………
You have to find a way to verify that the voting machines aren’t rigged to ‘flip votes’!! That means you vote Republican and the machine registers Democrat!! Paper ballots are the best if you have honest counters!! But definitely, have photo Id mandatory at all voting places!!!
I am all for making The U.S.A. great again, but as I see it, The U.S.A. gave up that right when the S.C. told citizens that it woulld NOT be allowed to PRAY in schools 1962-3 and it would not be able to abide by the COMMANDMENT from GOD to “STUDY” the KJV Bible. 2 Tim 2:15 KJV (ONLY) and then this nation would NOT be able to SEE the 10 Commandments on the walls and halls of schools and justice, because they might make someone do right (Or words to that effect) America was great because GOD/Jesus Christ is GREAT! From 1962-3, 1970 1n Stone v. Graham/Abingdon v. Schempp/Engle v Vitale this country took a downward trend and continues as it were, and more so! One “WAY” to change course: Jeremiah 6:16 KJV
Fact: Before 1962 there were virtually NO Muslims in this nation, and there were Bible Believers. (I mean KJV Bible Believers) There was Prayer, Bible Study and the 10 Commandments on the walls and halls of Justice. These were what are known as INTERNAL RESTRAINTS! These kept peoples minds straight and in line. Now we have Muslims and foreigners especially one from Kenya acting as IF they are something and what they want is paramount to what this country once was! IT’s back to the Bible or back to the Jungle! LIFE Is a Vaacum, it either is ruled w/Righteousness found in the Bible or unrighteousness found in anything else but the truth! Get the TRUTH or get a LIE! Get LIGHT or get Lightening!
It is is NOt the Russians, but corrupted soros voting machines …..need paper to vote. Along with arresting the illegals who try to vote. Stand strong with Trump…vote republican.
