"We are upping our game to defend our elections from more frequent and sophisticated attacks on the fundamental tools of our democracy," said Hobbs. "We are expanding our Security Operations Center to strengthen our essential training and partnerships with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Washington State Military Department, and our Air National Guard cyber terrorism experts.
Hobbs says the budget allows his office to better stay on top of false narratives in elections. More funding means more voter outreach campaigns and education, all with the aim of getting more people to the polls. "As Washington’s chief elections officer, I am committed to working closely with our county election partners to ensure all eligible voters are able to access their ballots and exercise their right to vote," said Hobbs. "Critical to this effort is a more robust voter-education program, especially for young voters, voters with disabilities, non-English-speaking voters, new state residents, and voters in tribal and underserved communities.
