  • Fact Sheet: Designation of Election Infrastructure As Critical Infrastructure
    Fact Sheet: Designation of Election Infrastructure as Critical Infrastructure Consistent with Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21, the Secretary of Homeland Security has established Election Infrastructure as a critical infrastructure subsector within the Government Facilities Sector. Election infrastructure includes a diverse set of assets, systems, and networks critical to the administration of the election process. When we use the term “election infrastrucure,” we mean the key parts of the assets, systems, and networks most critical to the security and resilience of the election process, both physical locations and information and communication technology. Specficially, we mean at least the information, capabilities, physical assets, and technologies which enable the registration and validation of voters; the casting, transmission, tabulation, and reporting of votes; and the certification, auditing, and verification of elections. Components of election infrastructure include, but are not limited to: • Physical locations: o Storage facilities, which may be located on public or private property that may be used to store election and voting system infrastructure before Election Day. o Polling places (including early voting locations), which may be physically located on public or private property, and may face physical and cyber threats to their normal operations on Election Day. o Centralized vote tabulation locations, which are used by some states and localities to process absentee and Election Day voting materials. • Information

  • 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.

Connie Lawson, IN Immediate Past President On behalf of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), I would like to thank you for your willingness to work with the Secretaries Hon. 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.

Abolofia, Cohanim A promising new takes the reins win Hungate Awards remineralizing product Dear Fellow Alumni: As graduates of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, we should be proud of the outstanding education that we received. Our School continues to have an impressive reputation – currently ranked fourth in the United States and 14th in the world. However, the School faces many challenges. And to maintain its tradition of excellence, it urgently needs support from all of us. The UW Dental Alumni Association is always looking for ways to support and strengthen the School of Dentistry. In the summer of 2017, we began our Dental Alumni Class Challenge. The Class Challenge creates a Dental Alumni Endowed Faculty Fund for Excellence. All alumni are being asked to contribute to this permanent fund, which will provide faculty fellowships throughout the School, with an emphasis on supporting junior faculty. Funding for faculty is a particularly urgent need. In the last four years, the School has moved to a year-round curriculum to accelerate learning and provide more clinical experiences for students. This new curriculum helps keep our School on the cutting edge, but it creates tremendous strain for faculty in an environment of limited state funding and research support. In addition, budget cuts have placed even more pressure on our faculty. This is our association’s third Class Challenge.
