Secretary of State speaks to clerks about election security

Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab stopped by the Finney County Clerk’s Office on Monday, one of many visits he and his team made ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day.

The visit, he said, was largely to speak to clerks about this week’s election and prepare for the higher profile 2020 election.

“We want to make sure we’re focusing on security, security, security, security. We’re not just dealing with nefarious political activists — we’re dealing with foreign nationals,” Schwab said. “And so we’re working with our clerks to let them know what we see, so if they see it then they can report it and we can stop it.”
