Is Cyber a real threat to genuine democracy (aka this republic)?

Update - 20:42, 24 Jun 2020: After posting this earlier today I see someone has changed the targeted groups I had set this post for. There is a reason I chose the groups I chose at that time. Also, I made sure the post was open to ALL the RP family so they could respond.

It is hard to get the word out without someone thinking they know better than you what you intend. For some of those exercising "political correctness" here on RP, please STOP. I am paying attention to the little things. My 1st Amendment is not your 1st amendment. Unless I have missed the "fine print" somewhere I am not being rude or otherwise inappropriate. Please quit trying to "realign" the way I expressing my thoughts that I fully take responsibility for. I resent it!!!

This is not purely a tech/cyber issue it is a political issue of our leaders (ALL our Leaders) and some on RP that follow the political goings on to know that the 2020 elections regardless of who you favor are in jeopardy and if we don't care to engage in the cyber threat from not just a tech perspective, but also from a political perspective to preserve, protect and defend the republic. Otherwise why have an RP community to begin with. Some discussions are hard, that is just the way it is. Whoever you are! Please stop!!!

I have restored (Congress) (Political Organization) and substituted (Policy) for (POTUS) as groups. Cyber threatens us all. I hope people that follow those groups weigh in regarding this very important issue to the safety and security of our nation!!!

Respectfully,

Me

The internet has been slow of recent and it is funny how it slows up when certain issues are in the media. Please take a look at these reference links to make you own cyber threat assessment:

From now until election day my guess is we can all expect increased and more severe attacks to our systems. When one source reports that "...Every 39 seconds, a cyber-attack occurs. While some of these are manually-targeted cyber-attacks, most of them are botnets steadfast on shutting down infrastructures and destroying computers and systems of major organizations...."

Additionally the source states "...There have been many, many worldwide cyber-attacks, and some are happening right now. The latest statistics say that security breaches have increased by 11% since 2018 and 67% since 2014...."

So, it is little wonder people are concerned for the integrity of US elections and why paper back up systems, at least in this moment in history have to be and remain FRAUD proof that all parties can believe in.

Question: Does the threat of cyber interference in our elections at all levels, especially national, play a large part in your concerns over the final results, especially for the 2020 election?

As always this topic will generate some heated debate from multiple fronts! It is a subject all Americans should not politicize; rather, should DEMAND from Congress, the Federal Election Commission along with STATE and LOCAL election officials to place front and center now lest we as a nation sink further into the distrust of our systems.
