"Vladimir Putin's efforts to interfere in our 2016 elections were completely unacceptable. And they did not come out of nowhere. They were preceded by eight years of growing Russian assertiveness in foreign meddling while the Obama administration failed to confront it."

"It's a fact: The Trump administration, hand-in-hand with the Senate has punched back hard at Russian election interference that happened on the Obama administration's watch."

"Increased agency coordination. Millions of dollars in direct aid to state election officials. Updating election systems. These are just a few of the parts of the ongoing, coordinated federal, state, and local campaign to shore up America's election security."

"I am proud of the work our government has done to shore up our defenses of American democracy and deter foreign interference. I'm glad the administration is laser-focused on continuing the progress. Our adversaries aren't letting up and our preparations are not letting up either."

"It's also important that we resist ill-considered proposals which Democrats call "election reform" but have little to do with actual security. Remember, their top priority for this Congress is a big effort to change election rules, largely to benefit their side."
