CONAWAY So one of ░░░░░░░░ purposes this morning was ░░░░░░░░ reassure the American public ░░░░░░░░ respect to the 16 ░░░░░░░░ and then also secondly ░░░░░░░░ at what we do ░░░░░░░░ future elections going forward ░░░░░░░░ said in your opening ░░░░░░░░ in your prepared remarks ░░░░░░░░ to your knowledge there ░░░░░░░░ no vote tallying changes ░░░░░░░░ no one s vote ░░░░░░░░ they voted one way ░░░░░░░░ recorded some other way ░░░░░░░░ that still your opinion ░░░░░░░░ with respect to the ░░░░░░░░ election that the the ░░░░░░░░ or attempted whatever the ░░░░░░░░ or others did did ░░░░░░░░ affect the actual voting ░░░░░░░░ Johnson Based on everything ░░░░░░░░ know that is correct ░░░░░░░░ I know of no ░░░░░░░░ that through cyber intrusions ░░░░░░░░ were altered or suppressed ░░░░░░░░ some way CONWAY OK ░░░░░░░░ lesson s learned and ░░░░░░░░ forward you ve designated ░░░░░░░░ voting system as critical ░░░░░░░░ In remaining time can ░░░░░░░░ give us kind of ░░░░░░░░ quick snap as to ░░░░░░░░ that was important in ░░░░░░░░ mind Johnson It was ░░░░░░░░ in my mind because ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure receives a priority ░░░░░░░░ terms of the assistance ░░░░░░░░ give on cyber security ░░░░░░░░ s number one There ░░░░░░░░ a certain level of ░░░░░░░░ of confidentiality that goes ░░░░░░░░ the communications between critical ░░░░░░░░ and the department that ░░░░░░░░ guaranteed And number three ░░░░░░░░ you re part of ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure you get the ░░░░░░░░ of the international cyber ░░░░░░░░ Thou shalt not attack ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure in another country ░░░░░░░░ so those were the ░░░░░░░░ reasons to do this ░░░░░░░░ are 16 sectors already ░░░░░░░░ are considered critical infrastructure ░░░░░░░░ in in my view ░░░░░░░░ was something that was ░░░░░░░░ of a no brainer ░░░░░░░░ in fact probably should ░░░░░░░░ been done years before ░░░░░░░░ I m pleased Secretary ░░░░░░░░ has reaffirmed it CONWAY ░░░░░░░░ that include the parties ░░░░░░░░ the infrastructure around candidates ░░░░░░░░ is that just the ░░░░░░░░ of the voting itself ░░░░░░░░ If you read the ░░░░░░░░ I wrote the statement ░░░░░░░░ January 6th it s ░░░░░░░░ much confined to the ░░░░░░░░ process itself election infrastructure ░░░░░░░░ not not the politicians ░░░░░░░░ the political parties.”
