ICYMI: [The Olympian] Federal money is needed for elections offices to be both transparent and secure
The Olympian/Tillie Naputi-Pullar 7.10.22
“There is strong public support for federal investments in our election infrastructure. Election infrastructure is critical national security infrastructure. But we don’t fund it that way.
In the absence of stable federal funding, we face a high hurdle to balance transparency with the security of our facilities. Congress should fund state and local election departments with $20 billion over 10 years.”
Tillie Naputi-Pullar is the Elections Manager in the Thurston County Auditor’s Office.
