The federal government and election industry leaders sounded the alarm anew Tuesday, saying attacks on the U.S. political process are not going away -- and will likely become worse. This includes voter suppression, disinformation and election manipulation. All are tools used by bad actors and other countries to influence our elections and target anyone old enough to vote, experts said. "These attacks are ongoing, they are accelerating, and they are unlikely to be waged by Russia alone as we go forward," said Ellen Weintraub, chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission. The warning was meant for all voters during the Federal Election Commission’s Digital Disinformation and the Threat to Democracy symposium, which stressed the urgency of mitigating almost-certain future interference and attacks.Michael Chertoff, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, illustrated the ultimate goal of election interference. “The idea is to paralyze your opponent and make them shrug their shoulders and give up." Some now-common tactics include false or misleading social media messages that are shared millions of times meant to either influence voters or scare them off.“A series of adversaries have been using these techniques to target our conversations for a very long time,” said Camille Francois, chief innovation officer for Graphika. As the Hearst Television National Investigative Unit reported in April, Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report showed that Russia breached election networks in Florida in 2016.U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) says the breach could have occurred in four counties.“Our country has a target on its back and Florida election officials and voters are the bull's eye,” Murphy declared.Google’s public policy leader Clement Wolf explained how difficult it is to stay ahead of ever-evolving information attacks.“Each time we do something new, the other side does something new as well,” Wolf said.Notably absent from the panel were the social media companies. A representative from Twitter, who sat in the audience, was even called out by another audience member for not being more involved. "My question is, why not participate?" the attendee asked.“Because I want to hear and learn from the experts in the field," replied Twitter Public Policy Manager Kevin Kane. All the experts at the four-hour symposium agreed that what the U.S. has learned about foreign and domestic misinformation tactics and objectives can't be ignored -- even as time is running out before the 2020 election. "There's no silver bullet, but there's things that we can do collectively to work on a solution," said Ginny Badanes of Microsoft. Currently, 40 election security bills are waiting for a vote in Congress. On Wednesday, a coalition of conservatives, including perennial tax reform advocate Grover Norquist, is holding a news conference to call on the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate to take action.
