In 2018, President Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) regarding a national emergency relating to the threat from within and without this country to the security of our elections. This particular EO has been discussed as part of the idea of Devolution - that military control of this country was established before Trump left office.
I was floored when I read that the Resident extended this EO for one year. Election interference is what he and his cohorts desire. This extension will expire before the mid-term elections in the fall of 2022. So, why would this happen? It does keep in motion the collection of evidence and perhaps actions against those who've participated illegally in the 2020 election. Is China becoming a problem for this group, or was he forced to do so by the military? Is it a psy-op to make people think the next elections will be safe? I don't know - all I can say is that my "ears pricked up", which is sign to me that something is likely more than it seems.

On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 etseq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcomes or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference. The ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on September 12, 2018, must continue in effect beyond September 12, 2021. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848 with respect to the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
