DOJ Appoints AUSA Boone to Lead Eastern District of Kentucky Election Day Program

 US Attorney Carlton S. Shier, IV announced today that Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) Andy Boone will lead the efforts of his Office in connection with the Justice Department’s nationwide Election Day Program, for the upcoming November 8, 2022, general election. 

AUSA Boone. as the District Election Officer (DEO) for the Eastern District of Kentucky,  is responsible for overseeing the District’s handling of election day complaints of voting rights concerns, threats of violence to election officials or staff, and election fraud, in consultation with Justice Department Headquarters in Washington.

While The CotoBuzz Journal welcomes the DOJ's nationwide Election Day Program. TCBJ continues to urge DOJ/FBI to guard against the Inside Threat, which by our estimation is a higher risk vulnerability. Insiders include The United Postal Service Workers , IT workers, Electoral Registration Forms Officials, and so on. If not monitored properly, can create the most damage. We also urge the DOJ to  adopt a new security paradigm:  The Higher the Trust Level, The Lower the Trust - in this case. Boone's work would be closely scrutinized.
