The hearing has ended. — PolitiTweet.org

Kat Cammack asks the witnesses if they think photo ID should be required to vote. Only LaRose says yes. Cammack's commentary about the value of voter ID does not reflect the reality that in-person voter fraud is virtually nonexistent. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Clyde: How would Democrats' proposed requirement for observers to stay eight feet away from poll workers affect people’s confidence in the process? LaRose: It’s Washington micromanagement and “the height of federal government arrogance.” — PolitiTweet.org

Andrew Clyde: "According to the documentary '2000 Mules'..." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Andrew Garbarino: What are the best services that CISA provides and where do they need to improve? LaRose: “Information flow has gotten a lot better.” But CISA needs more resources so that they can deliver services without delay. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Toulouse Oliver also notes that some states require legislative approval to request and use federal funds, which slows things down. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Sheila Jackson Lee asks what hampers federal security funds from reaching election officials. Toulouse Oliver says funding arrives sporadically, so states have to be “diligent and thoughtful” about how they use it, which means holding onto some of it in case they later need it. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Clay Higgins begins his discussion of election fraud by saying, “We are failed and fallen since Adam, and our elections are no exception to that.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Pfluger asks Kelley if Congress should require photo ID for voting nationwide. Republicans say they oppose Washington interfering with states' administration of elections...but perhaps not in all cases. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
August Pfluger smoothly pivots from expressing sympathy for Toulouse Oliver over the death threats she's received to asking her how she feels about activists protesting outside restaurants where Supreme Court justices are eating. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Tom Malinowski asks what more our leaders can do to address election conspiracy theories. LaRose says Ohio creates community engagement around the election process and challenges doubters to volunteer as poll workers so they can see the process for themselves. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Recently seated Republican congresswoman and Jan. 6 and QAnon conspiracy theorist Mayra Flores begins by thanking "poll watchers," followed by election officials, for their work. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
LaRose also mentions the directive's requirement for election boards to include cyber provisions in vendor contracts. It's part of ensuring "that these vendors that our boards of elections sign on can meet the standards that we've set for our work." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Diana Harshbarger asks LaRose about the vulnerability scanning component of his recent election security directive. LaRose says election boards have to allow scans *inside* their network perimeters, not just at the internet-facing level. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Toulouse Oliver later added that what happens in Wisconsin for 2022 "certainly doesn't affect, in retrospect, the outcome of the [2020] election." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Bishop indulges in some genial Big Lie fearmongering: “There were a variety of things that contributed to an atmosphere of distrust about the [2020] election, one of which were allegations leveled that things were done illegally in certain places.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Dan Bishop tries to muddy the waters on ballot drop box security. He asks Toulouse Oliver about the recent Wisconsin court ruling and whether it renders drop box ballots from 2020 illegal. She says she can't speak to another state's legal issues. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Michael Guest asks how Washington can provide support without infringing on state supervision of elections. LaRose: "Stick to helping us do our jobs better instead of telling us how to do it.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Toulouse Oliver says you need to have a plan in place for mitigating a vulnerability. Feds have gotten better about declassifying and sharing intelligence, she says. Now it's up to states to act on that information quickly and transparently. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Jim Langevin asks about disclosing cyber issues while preserving trust. LaRose says he's struggled with finding ways to share successes. The public hears about failures more often, he says. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Howard says CISA is "trying to calibrate the amount and the quality of information that is being provided to our local election officials." "They need to continue to listen to the election official community about what is helpful and what is not." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
LaRose: Federal funding "is appreciated," but it often comes with "so many strings" that the time spent complying with paperwork and certification requirements "makes the dollars much less useful." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Katko: How can we help local officials digest cybersecurity guidance? LaRose: Secretaries need to be mindful of workloads, and "you all need to be very careful about not sending down directives or passing laws that would create federal standards that may be unattainable." — PolitiTweet.org

.@FrankLaRose recalls issuing his first election security directive in 2019 at a meeting of county election boards. "There was a groan in the audience, and even some laughter in the back. I was asking a lot of them, and many thought that it wasn't possible." — PolitiTweet.org

.@NMSOSMaggie says that since NM's June 22 primary, she's received three threatening phone calls serious enough to be referred to the FBI. These calls came after she went to court to force Otero County's conspiracist election officials to certify their results. — PolitiTweet.org

"That's one of the big concerns I have, and that's one of the big things we need to tackle going forward," Katko says. "How do we make actionable the information we're getting from the experts?" — PolitiTweet.org
