SENATE SOUNDS The Alarm: Foreign Election Threats Spark Urgent Action
— The Senate Intelligence Committee has kicked off a major investigation into possible FOREIGN interference in U.S. elections. Officials say they have found signs of secret operations by other countries trying to sway upcoming votes with fake news and cyberattacks.
Lawmakers from both sides are now talking about new laws to protect our elections from outside threats. Security experts warn that foreign enemies are getting smarter and more aggressive in their efforts to meddle with America’s voting system.
Senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio, who lead the committee, say protecting our elections is urgent work. “Safeguarding our democracy must remain a top priority,” Rubio said in a statement.
This probe shows just how serious the risk has become — and why strong action is needed before it’s too late.
