State Plans To Update Its Election Security Plan

The state Elections Commission says it will write a new security plan, as Congress looks into alleged interference by Russia in last year’s presidential contest. The state says it will work with all levels of election officials from Washington on down, to ward off breaches of security. Officials say a new draft report should be finished in December, with a final plan to be released next year. The commission issued an election security contingency plan last October, the month before President Donald Trump became the first Republican to carry Wisconsin since 1984. A statewide recount reflected only a small difference from the official canvass of the results, affirming Trump’s slim victory against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
