The White House has put the brakes on a bill that was proposed to protect U.S. elections, according to a new report.
Introduced last year by Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the Secure Elections Act would give each state’s top election official security clearance to know about any threats to their election infrastructure, systems, and other technologies. The bill has earned bipartisan support and was on its way to a vote in October, but at the White House’s recent request, has been delayed in the Senate, Yahoo News is reporting, citing congressional sources.
