This is really disheartening because it's a false choice. Thread 🧵 thefulcrum.us/congress/nbc-v…
1/Its widely known that one of the best ways to counter the threat of election interference from malign actors is for as many people to vote as possible.
2/Good election security often promotes voter access. For example, properly implemented online voter registration systems not only make the voter registration process more secure but more accessible as well, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic.
3/Expanding voter access often helps election security. E.g., most of the country had more voting opportunities in #election2020 than before. When election-security related issues arose, they often impacted fewer voters and were discovered further in advance of Election Day.
4/With adequate funding and time, extending the voting period and increasing the number of ways voters can cast a ballot should make the election process more accessible, easier to administer (there is less congestion on election day), AND easier to secure.
