(TRENTON) – Following an election security briefing for the Assembly State and Local Government and Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committees, Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo (D-Atlantic), chair of the State and Local Government Committee, released the following statement:

“New Jersey is incredibly proactive when it comes to protecting our election system from threats, particularly in terms of cybersecurity. However, after the foreign attacks on our national election system in 2016, it is imperative that we boost our efforts to safeguard our voting process.
