Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is tired of Republicans ignoring election security.
[W]hat happened in 2016 could be really small potatoes compared to 2020, said Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who sits on the Intelligence Committee.
Wyden is especially concerned that, as he said, all of the political muscle is on the other side trying to protect the status quo. Now hes hoping to take his message straight to voters.
Fourteen other Democrats joined Wyden earlier this month to sponsor legislation that would force states to use hand-marked paper ballots and audit their election results. The bill, called the Protecting American Votes and Elections Act, would also set cybersecurity standards for voting systems and provide funding for states to implement the changes.

I guess Moscow Mitch would not want to have election security after all EN+ and that oligarch asshole just put over 200 million into Kentucky through David Vitter ( he got busted with lady of the night while being a US Senator from Louisiana) and his team have been linked to the Russian and his wife gets to be a federal judgeship, is not qualified to be anything and should be annulled from that bench ...............................
