Secretary of State Jena Griswold outlined a 2022 legislative agenda that focuses on increased protections for election workers and safety at physical voting locations as the state, like most of the country, experiences an uptick of harassment towards election officials.
“Our system works. But across the nation, American democracy is facing unprecedented risks,” she said during a press conference on Tuesday.
She pointed to the U.S. Senate’s failure to pass voting rights legislation earlier this year, an increase in voting restriction legislation across the country and the rise in elected officials who promote the conspiracy that the 2020 election was stolen as examples of those risks.
