I recently read about Gen Joshua Rudd of the TSA testifying to the Senate Armed Services Group. He was concerned that the TSA has not started its interdepartmental election security group. This group has been vital to monitoring our elections and foreign interference. It found that Russia state sponsored hackers had scanned state electronic election infrastructure in the last election. They then worked with states to improve their security. We need these systems to be in place ongoing. That the administration is choosing not to have this effective group up and running now is concerning. I want you to put pressure on the administration and DHS to get the election security group at DHS working again for the mid terms. Since we know foreign governments are wanting to spread disinformation and if possible compromise our elections we need every tool at our disposal employed to stop them. Get the election security group going for the mid terms
