A hacking incident of this magnitude would indicate a complete national security failure on every single level.
You can't trust that level of incompetence.
Anyway, the NSA is not the party that messed up to allow flawed electronic voting. They're the party that can (and often has) detected Russian attempts to mess with stuff. So, once again, how does cutting the NSA help?
Like this really is one of those "What would you say ya do, here?" moments because it sure as hell doesn't look like the NSA does anything preventative that is effective.
It seems like a single technical problem to you, but socially it's incredibly complex.
The state may dictate the way federal laws are translated or adopted on their level; everything else is under federal juricstiction. The electronic voting machines were not covered under any 'law'.
The FEC is just another arm for the FBI. They share the same block; if not the same building and security clerances. Neither operate on state level.
Do you have any evidence for that claim? As far as I can see, they have had no influence on such decisions.

Do you have any evidence for that claim, beyond just "they share the same block"?
