I was just going to post that. I'm concerned that since election security is not (just) a technological problem, that very little will be done to improve it in the foreseeable future.
I'm from Idaho which is currently conservative by close to a 2/3 majority, but remember growing up that we had many liberal elected officials like Cecil Andrus and Frank Church. From my perspective, democrats are working to improve election security while republicans are not.
Is this simply a partisan issue? Does anyone from more liberal states have examples of democrats opposing election security?
If so - then how do we work to improve election security when our elected officials refuse to? If not - then how do we accomplish reforms within the republican party or make election reforms into political capital that it might be willing to trade for?
