Texas Rep. Mike Conaway had to get to the bottom of things. Did Russia in any way alter or change a single vote in the November election?

It’s an important question, since the Left has been manufacturing an existential crisis for months, claiming that the election was rigged by President Donald Trump and his nefarious Kremlin allies.

So when Conaway had Barack Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on the hotseat at a House Hearing on Wednesday, he asked directly.

Here’s the transcript:

CONAWAY: “One of our purposes this morning was to reassure the American public with aren’t to the 16 election and also secondly look at what we do in future elections going forward. You said in your opening statement, in your prepared remarks that to your knowledge there was no vote tallying changes, that no one’s vote was voted one way and recorded some other way. Is that still your opinion with respect to the 16 election, that what the Russians did did not affect the actual voting itself?” JOHNSON: “Based on everything I know, that is correct. I know of no evidence that through cyber intrusions, votes were altered or suppressed in some way.” CONAWAY: “You’ve designated the voting system as critical infrastructure. Can you give us kind of a quick snap as to why that was important in your mind? JOHNSON: “It was important in my mind because critical infrastructure receives a priority in terms of the assistance we give on cyber security. That’s number one. There’s a certain level of confidentiality that goes into the communications between critical infrastructure and the department that are guaranteed. And number three when you’re part of critical infrastructure, you get the protection of the international cyber norms. Thou shalt not attack critical infrastructure in another country. There are 16 sectors already that are considered critical infrastructure. In my view, this was something that was sort of a no-brainer and in fact probably should have been done years before. I’m pleased secretary Kelly has reaffirmed it. CONAWAY: “Does that include the parties and infrastructure around candidates? Or is that just the mechanics of voting itself? JOHNSON: “If you read the way I wrote the statement on January 6th, it’s pretty much confined to the election process itself, election infrastructure itself, not politicians, not the political parties.
