Robert Mueller warned that Russian interference is still happening as we sit here." A report from the Senate Intelligence committee concluded all 50 states were targeted in 2016 and ahead of the 2018 election "top election vulnerabilities remained." But there's no help coming from Congress. It's a risky calculation heading into 2020. Primary voting is six months away. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday blocked a House-passed bill that would authorize $775 million to beef up state election systems. The challenge was underscored Thursday as the Senate Intelligence Committee released the full results of an investigation that found the Russian government directed "extensive activity" against U.S. election systems ahead of the 2016 election. Two years later ... little had changed, as an intelligence assessment reported, "We are aware of a growing volume of malicious activity targeting election infrastructure in 2018." The report encourages states to "take urgent steps to replace outdated and vulnerable voting systems." The most pressing issue is replacing electronic voting machines that do not produce a paper record of each ballot cast that is verified by the voter and can later be audited. In 2018, 10 states had more than half of their jurisdictions using machines without a paper trail. An AP analysis in July found that many of the 10,000 election jurisdictions nationwide use old and soon-to-be outdated operating systems to create their ballots, program voting machines, tally votes and report counts.
