I thank you, Mr. Chair and Ranking Member Klobuchar, for your continuing efforts here and cooperation.

Congress appropriated $380 million to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to help states enhance their election infrastructure.

Clearly, from the numbers that have been shared here, that would be an unreasonable thing to do.

The Federal Government is not about to do things that encourage voter fraud.

Efforts to secure American elections are not new.

Where I am really going here is this question of how many people try to get into these systems and what do you do to determine the vulnerability of the systems that your company works with?

Thank you, Senator Klobuchar.

I notice you did finally put out a study that shows State by State. For instance, in my State of Pennsylvania the average tax cut to the bottom 80 percent of families--80 percent we are talking about--is around $645.
