Fifth Domain: A bipartisan bill in the House of Representatives would provide federal assistance to states for strengthening their cybersecurity.
The Protecting the American Process for Election Results (PAPER) Act, introduced by Reps. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Jim Langevin, D-R.I., is the House companion to the Klobuchar-Graham amendment to the Senate’s National Defense Authorization Act, currently under debate.
“The bill directs the Election Assistance Commission, after consulting with state and federal stakeholders, to formulate Security Risk and Vulnerability Assessment recommendations for states to harden their cybersecurity and develop post-election auditing standards to ensure elections have not been manipulated,” according to a House announcement.
