Homeland eyes special declaration to take charge of elections....
Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a "critical infrastructure," giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid.
The latest admissions of attacks could speed up that effort possibly including the upcoming presidential election, according to officials.
"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.

Good or not so good ?
If the left wants to 'rig' the election, what better excuse than declaring its for election security....
So as the right has been trying to stop registration and election fraud for a decade, the stock answer is
always "there is no election fraud" its only the right tryig to hinder voters from voting......
This could be a boon for the conspiracy folks....Gonna be fun, thats for sure.....
