Washington election officials double down on security efforts; ask public to report misinformation
With just one week until the election and over two million ballots processed statewide, Washington election officials are doubling down on their security efforts and asking citizens to report any false information they see ahead of the election.
On Monday, Secretary of State Kim Wyman spoke with auditors from various counties across the state to give an update on election security and stated that there have not been any breaches at this time.
"There are constant threats and there are constant threat actors and we have spent the last 15 years trying to build up defenses against them," said Wyman.
Amid a turbulent election cycle, the office is currently reporting that 41.7% of eligible voters in the state have returned their ballots, shattering earlier turnout records.
