How much money has the Congress voted for and passed to make sure that the 2020 election is safe?

Also, that no one can hack in and change results? Does anyone know? I don't remember ever reading about such a proposal. Has anyone heard of such a law passing? Has the Republican House or Senate proposed and passed such a law?. Has Mr. Trump signed such a law? ..... (I don't know, does anybody know?)

drumpf would never sign a bill like that, he wants the voter roles as well as the actual results to be hacked and highjacked for him and his fellow traitors.

If there were serious problems during the 2016 election, in counting, reliability, and possible interference from any possible outside the country or inside the country threat, then shouldn't the federal government try to prevent that from ever happening? (even if there is no absolute proof that it happened, only questionable issues from 2016)

It is all about destroying America in favor of Russia. It's about letting Russia steal our elections and make it look like repugs won when they didn't. So yeah, repugs actually caring for fairness is a joke, they don't, not one little bit. They only care about power and $$ for themselves and their rich funders, including PUtin.

Election processes and how money is spent is locally determined. I have had access to getting involved with those officials here. Doing that and encouraging voters is much more effective than stoking insecurity and discouraging voters by telling them their votes won't count because elections are all hacked.
