  • 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.

  • Secretaries of State Are Crucial for Protecting African American Voters
    GETTY IMAGES/IRA L. BLACK GETTY L. IMAGES/IRA Secretaries of State Are Crucial for Protecting African American Voters By Michael Sozan and Christopher Guerrero August 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESSACTION.ORG Contents 1 Introduction and summary 2 Background for the analysis 6 Analyzing the state of elections 11 Recommendations for secretaries of state during the COVID-19 pandemic 14 Conclusion 14 About the authors 14 Acknowledgments 15 Endnotes Introduction and summary The United States is simultaneously confronting three wrenching challenges: the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, deep economic upheaval, and systemic racism—issues that disproportionately affect African Americans. Compounding these critical issues is the racial discrimination that pervades the U.S. voting system and silences the voices of the communities that are most affected. In several primary elections across the country, there has been a breakdown in election processes—including closed polling places, mail ballot voting hurdles, and malfunctioning voting equipment—causing outsize harm to African American communities. It is important for elected officials to ensure that every American can fully exercise their constitutional right to vote, especially during a pivotal election year. Secretaries of state, although perhaps not the most well-known public officials, serve as the gatekeepers of free and fair elections across the United States. As the top election administrators in most states, they face unprecedented hurdles to running safe elections during a pandemic, on top of their responsibility to ensure that elec- tions are inclusive and accessible. The decisions that secretaries of state make can help determine whether every eligible American can vote and play a meaningful role in transforming the United States into a more just society.

    SW21:018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 16, 2021 CONTACT: SOS Press Office (916) 653-6575 California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber Statement on Signing Bipartisan Letter to CISA Secretary Mayorkas and Acting Director Wales SACRAMENTO, CA – California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber issued the following statement on signing the letter to Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requesting an expansion of federal efforts to combat foreign disinformation. "Democracy exists because we have free and fair elections, and we must protect those elections at all costs. In 2020, our local and state election officials worked tirelessly to combat the spread of mis- and disinformation perpetuated by foreign actors seeking to diminish trust in our elections." "Without CISA's leadership combating this threat at the federal level, we would not be able to call the 2020 General Election the most secure in our nation's history. For this reason, I gladly join my bipartisan colleagues in calling on CISA not only to continue this vital work but expand its efforts to combat the ongoing threat of foreign interference in our elections." The complete letter can be accessed here and is co-signed by Kevin Meyer, Alaska Lt. Governor; Jena Griswold, Colorado Secretary of State; Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State; William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State; Maggie Toulouse Oliver, New Mexico Secretary of State; Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State; Nellie Gorbea, Rhode Island Secretary of State; Jim Condos, Vermont Secretary of State, and Kim Wyman, Washington Secretary of State.
