PHILADELPHIA (February 27, 2025) — The following is a statement from Verified Voting’s president and CEO, Pamela Smith, in support of the National Association of Secretaries of State’s (NASS) recent letter urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to maintain vital election security services provided by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
“Verified Voting joins state election officials in calling on DHS to keep CISA’s essential election security support in place. Faced with limited resources, state and local election officials across the country rely on CISA’s expertise. CISA provides cyber threat monitoring, physical security, and rapid response to incidents involving elections at every level. Any reduction in these critical resources could make our elections more vulnerable and leave officials with fewer tools to protect our democratic process. Election security is national security—something every American has a stake in.”
