attempts from foreign actors to interfere in the upcoming Nov. 3
general election.
"Foreign adversaries are working around the clock to interfere in U.S.
elections and undermine confidence in the electoral process. Despite
the disinformation circulating from bad actors, know there has been no
indication of compromise at the Office of the Secretary of State or
with our elections system.
"We continually work with state and federal security experts, and are
actively partnering with the Department of Homeland Security and the
FBI throughout this election cycle to monitor the threat landscape and
enhance our security stance.
"Washington voters should continue to be critical of the information
they receive on social media from unknown sources, and should report
any concerning information they see to their county elections office
and the Secretary of State's Office. This is why my office has
partnered with the National Association of Secretaries of State on the
information campaign #TrustedInfo2020. Before you share, make sure the
information is coming from a trusted source."
As of Oct. 21, 25% of Washington voters have already returned their
ballots for the upcoming election. Wyman encourages voters who have
not yet voted to do so early, and place it in an official ballot drop
box or the U.S. mail. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by
Election Day, Nov. 3.
