In 2016, and hostile foreign power reached down into the state and local levels to touch voter data. It employed relatively sophisticated cyber tools and capabilities and helped moscow potentially build detailed knowledge of how our collections work. It was another example of russian efforts to interfere in a democracy with the goal of undermining our system. Were woefully unprepared to defend and respond, and i am hopeful we will not be caught flatfooted again. Our witnesses are here to tell us more about what happened in 2016, what that tells us about russian intentions, and what we should expect in 28 team and 20 in 2018.

Thank you. Speaker so im happy to hear from other commissioners on this particular one. I mean, to me this one seems pretty clear. If we think we need to defer it to another meeting, im happy to consider this with other issues, but i also dont want to have to revisit things that weve already addressed. You know, to mr.
