It’s real. Russian interference in our election happened -- and it went far beyond Twitter bots and fake Facebook profiles.

According to a bipartisan report released this week by the Senate Intelligence Committee, there was extensive activity by the Russian government to access data and election infrastructure at every level of government. All 50 states were somehow impacted, with states like Illinois facing the greatest consequences. Up to 200,000 voter records in Illinois were accessed, including sensitive personal information. In another state, hackers tried to manipulate the unofficial vote totals.

This was a long-term, coordinated attack, and it could happen again. Now that vulnerabilities in our election process have been exposed, we have to anticipate further attacks, from Russia, China, or another adversary. The Senate report is setting off alarm bells on both sides of the aisle. It’s time to act. But to Mitch McConnell, it’s “not serious.” He uses those two words to dismiss the problem, to dismiss the solutions my colleagues and I have created, and to dismiss the very real threats facing our elections.

What’s not serious here is the level of leadership we have in the Senate. Instead of working to protect American democracy and ensure a free and fair election, the Senate Majority Leader is refusing to even allow discussion about election security.

Well, friend, we have to face facts. This is serious. It is our duty as citizens and as leaders to put our differences aside and do everything we can to preserve our democracy. We have to ensure that every vote counts, that every county and state has the resources it needs to protect itself against interference.

As long as Mitch McConnell controls the Senate, we won’t be able to address the problems we were elected to solve. Will you pitch in today to help end his stranglehold on the Senate floor? [[link removed]]
