Election Integrity

The House Intelligence Committee’s Republican majority showed off its best ostrich impression late Monday, as members buried their heads in the sand concerning Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign’s possible involvement in it.

A substantial number of states appear to be paying little attention to hard evidence from intelligence and law enforcement agencies that Russian cyber-vandals are working to hack into state election systems in advance of the 2018 midterm elections.

The State Department has not spent even a penny of the $120 billion set aside by lawmakers to counter Russia’s cyberattacks on American democracy.

There’s some encouraging news from several states this morning about voting rights and voting security.

As Russia attacks our elections, intelligence chief says Trump has given him no authority or direction to retaliate.

"Election security is national security," the president of a Washington-based think tank that has studied attacks on election systems told a forum on Monday.
