  • NASS White Paper on Business Identity Theft 2 Prevention and Protection in State Policy-Making Efforts
    Table of Contents Developing State Solutions to Business Identity Theft Assistance, Prevention, and Detection Efforts by Secretary of State Offices January 2012 Contents National Association of Secretaries of State 444 North Capitol St., NW – Suite 401 Washington, DC 20001 The National Association of Secretaries of State I 444 N. Capitol Street, NW I Suite 401 I Washington, DC NASS White Paper on Business Identity Theft 2 Prevention and Protection in State Policy-Making Efforts Introduction In October 2011, the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) held a national forum on business identity theft in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing together top advocates and experts from government and the private sector. The event was part of a NASS Business Identity Theft Task Force plan to develop proactive strategies for combating this relatively new type of crime. Secretaries of State and state business division directors attended the forum to learn how they could better protect the state-held information that offers a potential gateway to business identity theft. They wanted to discuss how they could work with law enforcement, financial institutions and business leaders in their state to educate all of the stakeholders about this type of crime. They were also interested in hearing about tools and technology that would aid in the detection and prevention of business identity theft, with best practices from private sector experts familiar with the issues. Some states were already aware of the increasing number of business identity fraud cases involving unauthorized changes to business records on file with Secretary of State offices. Georgia and Colorado had both spent considerable time and effort implementing comprehensive response and prevention measures, and these offices had plenty of substantive advice to share with their peers.

  • Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State
    Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State July 28, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Senator Charles E. Schumer Senator Richard C. Shelby Senator Patrick J. Leahy Senator Roy Blunt Senator Amy Klobuchar Dear Senators: As Secretaries of State of both major political parties who oversee the election systems of our respective states, we write in strong support of additional federal funding to enable the smooth and safe administration of elections in 2020. The stakes are high. And time is short. The COVID-19 pandemic is testing our democracy. A number of states have faced challenges during recent primary elections. Local administrators were sometimes overwhelmed by logistical problems such as huge volumes of last-minute absentee ballot applications, unexpected shortages of poll workers, and difficulty of procuring and distributing supplies. As we anticipate significantly higher voter turnout in the November General Election, we believe those kinds of problems could be even larger. The challenge we face is to ensure that voters and our election workers can safely participate in the election process. While none of us knows what the world will look like on November 3rd, the most responsible posture is to hope for the best and plan for the worst. The plans in each of our states depend on adequate resources. While we are truly grateful for the resources that Congress made available in the CARES Act for election administration, more funding is critical. Current funding levels help to offset, but do not cover, the unexpectedly high costs that state and local governments face in trying to administer safe and secure elections this year.

Denise Merrill, CT Eastern Region Vice President of State, election directors and other important stakeholders to address misinformation and disinformation on your platforms related to the Hon. Tre Hargett, TN elections process. We believe significant progress has been made to Southern Region Vice President understand and address these issues. As we move into 2019 and the 2020 Hon. Jay Ashcroft, MO general election, we urge Facebook to further engage on the following Midwestern Region Vice President issues: Hon. Alex Padilla, CA Western Region Vice President First, the elections community faced many challenges as a result of Facebook’s use of a non-government, third-party site to prompt Hon. Al Jaeger, ND Member-at-Large (NPA) users to register to vote. We instead encourage Facebook to either connect directly to the chief state election webpages, state online voter Hon. Matt Dunlap, ME registration system webpages, and/or vote.gov. These government- Member -at-Large (ACR) backed websites will provide accurate information to the public, eliminating confusion and frustration in the voter registration process. As we have previously discussed, in the 2018 midterm election cycle, a non- government, third-party site failed to properly notify users of incomplete voter registration applications initiated through their site.

  • How Sports Help to Elect Presidents, Run Campaigns and Promote Wars."
    Abstract: Daniel Matamala In this thesis for his Master of Arts in Journalism from Columbia University, Chilean journalist Daniel Matamala explores the relationship between sports and politics, looking at what voters' favorite sports can tell us about their political leanings and how "POWER GAMES: How this can be and is used to great eect in election campaigns. He nds that -unlike soccer in Europe or Latin America which cuts across all social barriers- sports in the sports help to elect United States can be divided into "red" and "blue". During wartime or when a nation is under attack, sports can also be a powerful weapon Presidents, run campaigns for fuelling the patriotism that binds a nation together. And it can change the course of history. and promote wars." In a key part of his thesis, Matamala describes how a small investment in a struggling baseball team helped propel George W. Bush -then also with a struggling career- to the presidency of the United States. Politics and sports are, in other words, closely entwined, and often very powerfully so.
