Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate says it’s unlikely Russians or cyber-hackers will be able to affect voting in this state because Iowa’s voting process begins with a basic premise:
OC………that’s about it. ;23
Pate says there’s been propaganda being spread to try and make Iowans think their voting system isn’t secure:
OC………long distance run. ;21
Pate also says another simple way to validate your vote is to show your i.d. when you cast your ballot:
OC……..that permits. ;24
Iowa was recently granted more than four-and-a-half million in federal dollars to help update the state’s voter registration system and improve cyber security.
