Secretary of State Jena Griswold Statement on U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Report of Russian Active Measures Campaigns and Interference in the 2016 US Elections, Volume 1

Denver, July 25, 2019 – The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence today released Volume 1 of their report of Russian Active Measures Campaigns and Interference in the 2016 U.S. Election Infrastructure. The following statement can be attributed to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold:.

“Coloradans and all Americans deserve a democracy that we all can believe in. This report details the ways in which our elections infrastructure has been and will likely continue to be threatened. As a country, we must prioritize making sure elections are secure and safe from attack. I am proud that Colorado is one of the safest states to cast a vote in today – our voting machines are not connected to the internet, each vote has a voter-verified paper record, and we were the first state to implement risk-limiting audits. Securing elections infrastructure and ensuring that our elections are free from foreign interference are top priorities. We owe it to Coloradans and Americans to do everything we can to protect our elections infrastructure.”
