Good.

Congress passed $380 million back in the spring for election security to the states. Then on top of that an additional $300 million was given to the FBI for counterintelligence centered around Russian hacking. That's $680 million Congress approved of just a few months ago to go for election security.

Until more data comes back on what the states do with their few extra millions, there is no need to throw money their way. Unless of course one is a Democrat in congress that proposes more money sent there way knowing it will get rejected , which will make for a nice 'Republicans against election security' headline.
