Will Your Vote Be Vulnerable On Election Day?
NPRWill Your Vote Be Vulnerable On Election Day? Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who sits on the Senate intelligence committee looking into Russia's attack on the 2016 election, warned elections officials in his state not to be complacent. "Figuring out the true cost of election administration in this country is the white whale of the discipline," said Doug Chapin, an elections researcher at the University of Minnesota. And March's exercises were framed as "train the trainer" workshops, with the hope that the election directors present would then go back to their respective states and localities and run similar drills. "It's going to be a real culture shift; it's going to have to be something we repeat over and over again until it becomes ingrained in our every day activity," said Jennifer Morrell, the deputy of elections and recording for Arapahoe County, Colo. "Most of the conversations around this have been your state and local directors, and now we've got to filter that down — it's going to take a little while."
