Indiana contracts election security company to keep votes safe

Your vote is safe and secure, says Sec. of State Connie Lawson.

Her office is in charge of running elections for Indiana, and she says they’ve contracted with a company that specializes in detecting security threats like hackers.

Lawson said her office has entered into a contract with security company Fire Eye, which specializes in security for elections.

Indiana has enough federal money to keep them on until at least 2022, and the service is offered for free to all 92 counties.

Lawson also said state and federal money is helping more than half of counties to have a verified paper trail from those machines by the general election in November.
