Hillary Clinton accused President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of abdicating their responsibility on election security during a pointed speech Tuesday in which she also took aim at Trump for his repeated claims about voter fraud.
In a speech delivered at a conference in Washington, the Democratic Partys 2016 presidential nominee applauded the Democratic-led House for passing legislation designed to strengthen election systems in the wake of Russian interference.
Clinton then slammed Mitch McConnells Senate for not acting on the legislation, which would authorize more than $600 million to update voting equipment to comply with new standards, including requirements that devoting machines produce a paper record, stay disconnected from the Internet and be manufactured in the United States.
There is no way we can have the kind of secure election that we need without changing our laws and following it up with real investments, Clinton said. We have a fundamental set of threats to the bedrock of our democracy, and anyone who stands in the way of confronting those threats from Mitch McConnell and his allies to the president himself is abdicating their responsibility to protect and defend the Constitution.

(7,629 posts)scam with all the BMDs (Ballot Marking Devices) being purchased in numerous states --they produce what amounts to the output of a touchscreen machine printed on paper-- barcodes unreadable by humans, and which are incapable of verifying voter intent if used for a recount.
There is so much disinformation and misinformation and so many lies and myths about election security. I wish all high profile spokespersons would say "HAND-MARKED PAPER BALLOTS" instead of "paper ballots."
The gold standard for election integrity is still: hand-marked paper ballots hand-counted at the precinct level with public oversight
