Federal Government Has Unprecedented Access to Election Systems

The integrity of the 2020 election has been a subject of intense scrutiny, with many Americans voicing concerns about fraudulent activities.

As experts delve deeper into the intricacies of election systems, a startling revelation has come to light – the existence of a nationwide cellular network that connects election equipment and grants the federal government access to election systems at the precinct level. This hidden connection has raised questions about the manipulation of election results and the potential vulnerabilities in the electoral process.

The inception of the nationwide cellular network, known as FirstNet, can be traced back to the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The congested cell networks during the crisis highlighted the need for a dedicated network to ensure seamless communication for first responders. In 2012, Congress established the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) under the Department of Commerce to oversee the development of this network.

Originally intended for police, fire, and emergency medical services, the scope of FirstNet expanded to encompass critical infrastructure, such as water, energy, and transportation systems. However, a significant turning point occurred just days before former President Barack Obama left office.

**The Department of Homeland Security, capitalizing on concerns about “Russian interference” in the 2016 election, designated election systems as part of the critical infrastructure. This decision paved the way for the integration of election systems into the FirstNet network**.

The involvement of the federal government, private companies, and partisan interests in the deployment and integration of FirstNet into the election process, raises concerns about the potential for election manipulation.

FirstNet falls under the umbrella of public-private partnerships that are immune to public records requests. Moreover, FirstNet enjoys exemption from congressional oversight.
