Lawmakers representing Maryland on Capitol Hill have joined state leaders in asking the Department of Homeland Security for assistance in making sure Maryland election systems are secure. In a letter to Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Thursday, Maryland’s entire congressional delegation said that “all levels of our government must take every necessary precaution” to preserve the integrity of America’s elections. State leaders, including Gov. Larry Hogan, initially asked for help last week following a revelation that a Russian oligarch had invested in a company that helps manage Maryland’s elections. There was no evidence of a breach or any wrongdoing, according to the FBI.
Additionally, the company, ByteGrid, insisted that investors have no impact on business operations.
