Among conservatives, Mitch McConnell has been a political stabilizing force. While the RNCC justified the attacks as legitimate political discourse, McConnell criticized the RNC for censuring Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. She married Mitch McConnell on Ronald Reagan's birthday, and the two are among the most powerful couples in the U. The Kentucky Republican masterminded the Republican comeback after the wave elections that swept the Democratic Party. The Kentucky senator worked for Roger Ailes early on in his career and coined terms like Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback.

But if voting machine security standards don't change by the 2020 presidential election, Sen. Ron Wyden warns, the consequences could be far worse than the cyberattacks in 2016.

The Democrat from Oregon, who is a member of the Senate Intelligence committee, told the Defcon hacking conference that US voting infrastructure was failing to keep elections secure from potential cyberattacks.

Wyden had proposed an election security bill requiring paper ballots in 2018.

A House bill passed ,but was blocked in the Senate by Mitch McConnell, the majority leader.

McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, called it partisan legislation.

On Friday, Wyden blasted McConnell, calling him the reason why Congress hasn't been able to fix election security issues.

In an interview with "Fox and Friends" on Friday morning, billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel responded to Twitter's recent decision to temporarily block Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's re-election campaign account.

Thiel also discussed his recent New York Times op-ed, in which he emphasized his concerns about the search giant Google setting up an AI research lab in China.

Billionaire tech investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel apparently thinks Silicon Valley tech companies have wielded too much, unchecked power.

In an interview with "Fox and Friends" on Friday morning, Thiel responded to Twitter's recent decision to temporarily block Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's re-election campaign account after it posted a video of protest ors threatening the Senator outside of his Kentucky home.

Instead, the company pointed us to tweets from Twitter's official corporate communications account that announced after "multiple appeals from affected users" the video in question would once again be visible, but bearing a "sensitive media interstitial."

As of Friday morning, the tweet containing the controversial video appears on McConnell's campaign account and full access to the account has been reinstated, a Twitter spokesperson said.

As it emerges non-internet-connected election systems are actually connected to the internet

Black Hat While various high-tech solutions to secure electronic voting systems are being touted this week to election officials across the United States, according to infosec guru Bruce Schneier there is only one tried-and-tested approach that should be considered: pen and paper.

“Paper ballots are almost 100 per cent reliable and provide a voter-verifiable paper trail,” he told your humble Reg vulture and other hacks at Black Hat in Las Vegas on Thursday.

“This isn’t hard or controversial.

We use then all the time in Minnesota, and you make your vote and it’s easily tabulated.”

The integrity of the election process depends on three key areas: the security of the voter databases that list who can vote; the electronic ballot boxes themselves, which Schneier opined were the hardest things to hack successfully; and the computers that tabulate votes and distribute this information.

After Twitter temporarily locked the campaign account of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a string of leading Republican campaign committees announced an ad spending boycott against the social media platform.

McConnell's official campaign account was locked Wednesday after his team posted a video of protesters outside his Louisville, Kentucky, home earlier this week.

Twitter's blanket policy bans videos that include violent threats, even from those who receive such threats.

The video in question, which also aired on Fox News, featured protest chants calling McConnell "murder turtle," and shouts from the crowd inciting violence against him.

Twitter told CNET in a statement that McConnell's campaign account was locked because the video "violated our violent threats policy, specifically threats involving physical safety."

"I have directed the @nrcc to immediately halt all spending with @Twitter until they correct their inexcusable targeting of @Team_Mitch.

Major Republican committees and President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign are pulling all advertising money from Twitter as of Thursday morning after the platform locked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) campaign account for violating the platform’s rules.

Trump’s campaign, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) are promising to not spend any money on future Twitter campaign ads.

Richard Waters, the chief of staff of the Republican National Committee (RNC), said in a tweet that his organization, along with the Trump campaign, will not advertise on Twitter until “they address this disgusting bias.”

I have directed the @nrcc to immediately halt all spending with @Twitter until they correct their inexcusable targeting of @Team_Mitch.

We will stand firmly with our friends against anti-conservative bias.
