\nKentucky’s secretary of state says county officials are receiving cybersecurity training as the state bolsters efforts to protect its elections from the ongoing threat of hacking.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes says county clerks statewide received the training Thursday (4\/19) from the Department of Homeland Security. She says the training is a crucial step to protect elections and to increase public confidence in the election process. The training comes ahead of next month’s primary election in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Grimes says the goal is to offer the training to Kentucky’s 15,000 precinct election officers this summer ahead of the November election.<\/p>\n

Other steps are being taken to protect the integrity of elections. One step is to require that all future election equipment purchased in Kentucky provide a voter-verified paper trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
