Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) this week continued to build momentum for his bipartisan Defending Elections from Threats by Establishing Redlines (DETER) Act, legislation that sends a powerful message to any foreign actor seeking to disrupt our elections: if you attack American candidates, campaigns, or voting infrastructure, you will face severe consequences. He and Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) introduced the DETER Act earlier this year.
“Senator Rubio has got a bill that targets the 2018 election, the cycle we’re right in now, with as I understand it, potential penalties if the Russians do it again. So yeah, there’s a possibility that we may well take up legislation related to this. In the meantime I think the Russians need to know that there are a lot of us who fully understand what happened in 2016, and it really better not happen again in 2018.” (Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 7/17/2018)
