1/To help overcome significant partisan divisions over the legitimacy of #Election2020, like those on display at today's hearing, President-Elect Biden should establish by executive order a Presidential Commission on Election Security (PCES).

2/The PCES would identify best practices in election integrity and make recommendations to help ensure trustworthy future elections.

3/Like President Obama's 2013 Presidential Commission on Election Administration, it would have true bipartisan leadership. It should include election administrators, media experts, and leaders across the political spectrum with experience in both the public and private sectors.

I have a lot more thoughts about this. Feel free if you want to reach out and discuss.

1/This is another good reminder that securing the election infrastructure doesn't just entail protecting cyber assets like voter registration systems, electronic pollbooks, election night reporting systems, etc.

2/It includes protecting those who run our elections, like state and local election officials, information technology staff, poll workers, and vendor support staff. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/david-levine-i…

3/As well as physical assets, such as voting equipment, storage facilities, ballot processing facilities,
voting locations, and ballots. oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/…

Tomorrow, the United Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Government Affairs will holding a hearing entitled," Examining Irregularities in the 2020 Election", and a few points are worth making in advance of the hearing. hsgac.senate.gov/examining-irre…

@C_C_Krebs

1/ While the witness list includes @C_C_Krebs and @VotingGuy, both of whom played important roles in helping secure #election2020, it includes no others who serve on the front lines of elections, such as state and local election officials, vendors, and other federal partners.

2/Any unverified claims of election irregularities should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism. Look no further than the recent committee hearings held in the Georgia General Assembly for affirmation of this principle. gpb.org/news/2020/12/1…

1/ On the eve of June 2nd primary elections in the District of Columbia, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina, I'll be looking out for a number of things, including:

2/ In-person voting. Because of the health risks inherent to in-person voting—which often requires standing in crowded lines and touching shared surfaces—there will likely be less of it than usual, but it still must be safe for pollworkers and voters. #Elections2020

3/The expected surge in #VoteByMail (VBM). While VBM can minimize person to person contact and reduce spread of the virus, successful VBM elections are highly dependent on secure and accurate voter registration databases.
