The media talks a lot
about Russian meddling and election security, but they don’t talk much
about what President Trump is actually doing to confront it. Here are
just a few of his Administration’s recent actions to protect the
integrity of our elections:
• The President chaired National Security Council meetings on May 3 and July 27 to coordinate his whole-of-government approach to election security.
• In March 2018, the Administration imposed sanctions against 16 Russian entities and individuals for their roles in interference in the 2016 election.
• The Department of Homeland Security is working with all 50 states, local governments, and the private sector to bolster defense against cyber operations targeting voting.
• The Administration provided on-site cybersecurity support to states during the 2017 elections.
• The Justice Department and FBI continue to investigate and disrupt any threats to election systems, while alerting potential victims and targets.
