As the 2024 election approaches, the House of Representatives is getting ready to introduce a comprehensive package that will make meaningful and lasting changes to the nation’s election security. The package will aim to ensure that every vote cast is secure, accurate, and free from interference, foreign or otherwise.
The package will include measures to bolster election infrastructure both in the physical and digital realms. These measures include increased investments in cybersecurity solutions such as tamper-proof voting machines, improved identity verification systems, and strengthened protocols for safeguarding digital records.
The package will also seek to expand access to voting, protect the rights of voters, and empower election officials to prevent voter suppression and intimidation. To help pave the way for a more secure, equitable, and safe electoral process in the future, the package aims to modernize voting systems across the country, making it easier for citizens to access and participate meaningfully in the democratic process.
In addition to these changes, the package will require states to report any claims of election interference and actively monitor against potential cyber threats. The package also seeks to establish stricter penalties for those who seek to undermine the electoral process.
This package of election security reforms follows a number of highly contested elections over the past several years, including the 2020 Presidential election and the Georgia Senate run-off earlier this year. It demonstrates the seriousness with which the House and Senate view the need to protect our nation’s democratic process.
The package of election security reforms is a crucial step in protecting against potential interference and fraud as the country heads into the 2024 election season. It will ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to cast their ballot freely and safely. The package also serves notice to those who would seek to undermine the democratic process – they will be held accountable for their actions.
