From Common Cause (http://www.commoncause.org):
During his testimony before Congress last week, Robert Mueller made it clear to the American people: Russia’s attack on our elections in 2016 was drastic — and if we don’t immediately improve our election security measures, we can expect it to happen again in 2020.
Congress can’t delay — our representatives MUST step up and protect our elections from foreign tampering. Urge them to take action at https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-representatives-secure-our-elections-before-its-too-late.
We deserve the utmost confidence that the American people decide who wins our elections, not Russian operatives. And we already know the strong, simple solutions that work — like paper ballots and post-election audits.
But leaders in Washington, D.C. haven’t done NEARLY enough to protect our election systems from foreign interference. In fact, just after Mueller’s testimony, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell personally blocked two commonsense election security bills from being voted on.
We can’t afford to put off fortifying our electoral process any longer. 2020 is fast approaching — and if we don’t act now to stop foreign entities from spreading misinformation, hacking voting machines, and attempting to collaborate with campaigns, the very foundation of our democracy could be at risk.
Please join in urging our elected officials to do what’s right — and fight for comprehensive election security reform and funding.
