1. Rep. Lofgren seems extraordinarily well informed about election technology source codes. What are her biggest concerns?
2. This is the second piece of legislation in 2019 that Rep. Lofgren called for independent “inspection” of source code. Why did both of her bills fail? Was any foreign influence involved?
