"Last year's Russian campaign to hack our political institutions and interfere with the Presidential election was a blatant attack on our democracy."

"Looking toward the future, we must be able to put politics aside for the good of the country and work together to protect against efforts to undermine our cherished democratic institutions."

"If we do nothing, this will become our new normal. With the next Federal election only 1 year away, it is high time we start thinking about enacting real solutions."

"It is important to note for the record that committee Democrats have been requesting official oversight activities on election security since before the 2016 election."
