LaRose Envisions Election Security

Ohio’s elections chief expressed confidence the perennial swing state will have adequate safeguards against cyberattacks in place before the 2020 presidential election…although the upgrades he has required are coming along slowly. Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office says 52 of 88 counties are at least halfway done carrying out orders he issued in June, requiring federal risk and vulnerability assessments, installation of secure email systems and tools known as Albert intrusion detection devices…along with a host of other protections.
