"Homeland Security readying contingency plan to take over election security
The Department of Homeland Security is mulling an option to declare elections a "critical infrastructure" of the United States, which would allow them a certain amount of control of the election process.
The plan is short on specifics. But if it is determined that the integrity of the ballot is at risk, theoretically, DHS could go so far as to take control of electronic voting machines and the counting process – anything that would be at risk of being hacked."

"We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.
"There's a vital national interest in our election process, so I do think we need to consider whether it should be considered by my department and others critical infrastructure," he said at media conference earlier this month hosted by the Christian Science Monitor."
