  • Jena Griswold Colorado Secretary of State
    Jena Griswold Colorado Secretary of State Secretary Mayorkas and Acting Director Wales, We want to thank the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for its work countering disinformation on the electoral process. Your team’s work in this space was, simply put, invaluable. More specifically, starting in 2018 and continuing through 2020, your Countering Foreign Influence and Elections Task Forces helped states understand the disinformation threat and had the tools to counter it. These efforts included providing classified and unclassified briefings; helping states inform their residents and local media of the threat to inoculate them from it; creating rapid response plans; ensuring disinformation was part of elections exercises; and facilitating collaboration with the private sector, academia, and think tanks. We also greatly appreciated CISA’s own efforts to increase Americans’ resilience to disinformation, such as regularly engaging the public on the threat and communicating facts through Rumor Control. There have been some good and bad days in the election community since November. On one hand, election officials successfully ran multiple elections during a pandemic. The general election was the most secure in recent history. On the other hand, because of disinformation, some Americans now lack confidence in the electoral process. This is unfortunate and extremely concerning. Elections are a core pillar of our democracy. Without confidence in the system, our country faces great challenges ahead. But these problems do not mean CISA’s counter disinformation efforts—its support for states and individual actions—were unsuccessful. In fact, the opposite is true. Without this work and state initiatives supported by CISA, we are confident significantly more Americans would doubt the electoral process.
