New Washington Secretary of State Creating Plan to Counter Disinformation Around Elections
The new Washington secretary of state, Steven Hobbs, was sworn in Monday and plans to create a way to counter false and inaccurate information surrounding elections, the Associated Press reported.
During his time in office, Hobbs wants to create a plan to respond to disinformation and misinformation from elections and build upon previous cyber security efforts in the state.
"The last thing we need is to have our democracy eroded by people believing that their election system is not secure when it is secure," he said
Hobbs is Washington's 16th secretary of state. He's the first person of color to head the office and the first Democrat to hold the position 56 years.
