GOP election chief who rejects fraud claims named to fed job

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — A Republican secretary of state who challenged former President Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud in 2020 will lead the Biden administration’s effort to protect future elections. Homeland Security officials said Wyman will help lead the next round of elections in a “non-partisan manner to ensure the security and resilience of our election infrastructure.” “Kim’s reputation is second to none and I am personally thrilled to have her lead CISA’s election security efforts,” CISA director Jen Easterly said in a statement. Last October, Wyman published the book “Elections 2020: Controlling Chaos: How Foreign Interference, a Global Pandemic, and Political Polarization Threaten U.S. Democracy.” She was a constant presence on national networks in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, extolling the safety and security of the vote-by-mail system in her state, a process in place there for years. This is democracy in action.” Inslee noted Wyman’s certification of the 2020 election results, saying in a written statement: “When confronted with the choice of adopting election lies being promulgated by powerful forces in her party, Kim chose to stand by the will of the people.” “She is a great fit to lead these crucial efforts at the national level and I have no doubt that her expertise, energy and focus will lead to more secure elections and help restore faith in the democratic process,” he wrote.
