$1 Billion + Proposed For Election Cyber Security

On Wednesday, Congressional Democrats introduced legislation that would provide more than $1 billion to boost cyber security of U.S. voting systems. They said inaction has made elections vulnerable to more interference from Russian hackers.
The cyber security bill followed warnings on Tuesday from U.S. intelligence officials. Those officials warned that this year’s midterm races are likely to experience meddling from Russia and possibly other foreign adversaries.
