Clint Watts: ‘The Biggest Fear We Should Have in This Country Is That People Don’t Trust Institutions and Elected Officials’
‘If there is just one state that can’t audit and verify through some sort of backup its vote, it tells all of our adversaries, All you need to do is hack in one voter database’
EXCERPT:
WATTS: "Whether it is election security or putting down conspiracies and social media influence, it’s about leadership. We saw Senator McCain do this before."
TODD: "Right."
WATTS: "When he was campaigning against Barack Obama."
TODD: “No, no, no, he’s not a Muslim.”
WATTS: "He turned to the crowd and said 'no.' And that shut that down."
TODD: "Yeah."
WATTS: "Same with that press conference on Thursday. The leader of the country is the one responsible for integrating that. We had the top guy in cyber there. He’s not there anymore."
TODD: "That’s an important point. Clint Watts, thanks very much."
WATTS: "Thank you."
