Ballot security battle heats up already hot Roskam-Casten House race
Rival candidates in the Chicago area’s hottest congressional race sparred over the issue of election hacking on Friday as Democratic challenger Sean Casten accused Republican incumbent Peter Roskam of being asleep at the switch in protecting ballot integrity.
Roskam fired back that Casten was engaging in silly political stunts.
The volley came a day after Democrats in Washington filled the U.S. House floor with chants of “USA! USA!” as they voted to pass additional funds to states for election security. But Roskam joined the GOP majority in thwarting the measure as wasteful spending.
