This is critical to our national security.
It has been three years since Russia meddled in the 2016 elections. And yet, McConnell has done the bare minimum to protect our elections from foreign interference. Just last month, McConnell committed $250 million to election security -- yet The New York Times reports that billions of dollars are needed to safeguard us from foreign interference. And nothing has been passed in Congress to make sure we’re protected.
Two bills were introduced this year to address this problem. One requiring paper ballots, the other mandating candidates -- as well as their family and staff -- to notify the FBI if they receive offers of foreign aid.
But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked these bills, keeping the foundations of our democracy vulnerable.
This is non-negotiable: We cannot allow McConnell to continue to put us at risk.
Join me in telling Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on election security immediately. Add your name right now >>

We need to safeguard our elections from foreign interference. And right now, election systems across the country are still exposed to Russia and other foreign nations.
Mitch McConnell is standing in the way of our security and allowing our democracy to become a game that other countries play.
This can't wait. The very foundation of America is at risk.
Add your name to tell Mitch McConnell to bring election security to a vote IMMEDIATELY.
Fighting with you,
Tina
