Laura Rosenberger joined Samantha-Jo Roth of Spectrum News to discuss election interference in Florida
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is standing by his claims that Russian hackers have already penetrated some of Florida’s voting registration systems ahead of the midterm elections, despite swift backlash from Gov. Rick Scott, who is challenging the senator in this year’s election.
While both the Department of Homeland Security and the Florida Secretary of State say they have seen no new compromise from Russian actors, Senate Intelligence Committee members have declined to confirm or deny Nelson’s statements.
“It’s really important that officials who are talking about these issues find a way to raise the concerns about the vulnerabilities without undermining people’s confidence in the election system themselves,” said Laura Rosenberger, the director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, which monitors interference in elections.
