Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson introduced legislation in Congress this week in an effort to boost protection for voting systems following recent federal warnings about cybersecurity threats.

“The threat to our voting process is clear and present,” Johnson said.  He cited the recent hackings at the Democratic National Committee and attempts into voter systems in other states.
