Scoop: @RepZoeLofgren is considering a hearing to more closely examine voting technology vendors: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2019/0…

As I first reported on Monday, activists urged her committee and Senate Rules to hold hearings, using subpoenas if necessary: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2019/0…
@RepZoeLofgren RM @RodneyDavis says he "firmly believe[s]" in oversight of "all areas" of election administration and wants to "hear directly" from vendors.

On the Senate side, @RoyBlunt's office didn't respond when asked about the activists' hearing request, while @SenAmyKlobuchar favors one.
While there's no firm plan for a hearing yet in either chamber, holding one would give members a chance to press the vendors on some of the significant cyber issues we've heard about recently.
Of course, the vendors may simply not show up for a voluntary hearing. Lofgren didn't say whether subpoenas were on the table, as the activists hoped.

Last year, only one of the three big vendors participated in a Senate Rules hearing.
