The Russians are ready for the midterm elections. Are we?

The August primaries loom, with the general election in November soon after. But the state is getting a late start in protecting its voting system from tampering. Though county elections supervisors across the state have been persistent in their pleas for state help, too many state leaders, from lawmakers to the secretary of state, either dragged their feet in, or rejected outright, taking steps to assure Floridians that they can vote with confidence and that the integrity of the election process is paramount.

To his credit, Gov. Rick Scott has stepped up, demanding that the state request the $19.2 million in federal funds available to harden the state’s voting system. Congress included $380 million in its 2018 budget bill for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to distribute to the states. President Trump signed the budget bill in March.

Scott rightly overruled Secretary of State Ken Detzner and his oblivious announcement last month that Florida would not seek those much-needed funds.

1. They'll do nothing or spend the money

until they steal another election, then they'll help themselves to the money to golf, silver pens, etc. Early voting is 4 months away. We will have the dt voting system we had in 2016. The news is focused on the toddler in chief...and nothing is being done to protect any of us. From our votes...to the air we breathe and water we drink.
