Article snippet: MORE (R-Ky.) to take up two election security bills that have passed through the House. The legislation requires the use of paper ballots, includes funding for the Election Assistance Commission and mandates candidates, campaign officials and their family members to notify the FBI if foreign governments offer assistance. McConnell has resisted calls to take up the bills, saying Democrats are trying to give themselves a “political benefit” and the request “is not a serious effort to make a law.” Democrats renewed their calls for the Senate to boost election security after former special counsel MORE, who spent two years investigating Russia's election meddling in 2016, testified last month that Moscow is seeking to replicate its efforts next year. “Mueller's testimony was a clarion call for election security. Mueller's testimony should be a wake-up call to every American, Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, that the integrity of our elections is at stake. … This is all about the future of this country,” Senate Minority Leader MORE (D-N.Y.) said last month.
