The Threat of Election Cyberattacks to our Democracy & Economy

After years of under-investment, our election infrastructure remains outdated and vulnerable. Meanwhile, nefarious actors are continually improving their hacking and disinfo capabilities. Although there hasn’t been successful cyber-interference in American elections to date, US intelligence and law enforcement officials point to a range of threats from both foreign governments and domestic groups.

Secure, accurate elections are the cornerstone of democracy — and therefore essential to a robust economy. Businesspeople know that the investment in cybersecurity is never done and are ready to support a commonsense, bipartisan approach to solving this critical issue.

In 2018, Republican and Democratic senators came together to advance the Secure Elections Act on a bipartisan basis, which ultimately was shelved. Today, businesses can make a difference by supporting sensible, bipartisan measures to improve election security.
