Regarding "Speaker Johnson pulls a vote on a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown" (Sept. 11): House Speaker Mike Johnson says that election security is too critical to ignore. I agree.
But instead of spending time and energy on the extremely rare occurrences of a few non-citizens voting, how about spending that energy to counter the misinformation campaigns and partisan influence of unfriendly nations which are having a much larger and more dangerous effect on our elections?
With the power of social media and money, bad actors are trying to control our country. See "New Kremlin tactic reveals efforts to sway vote" (Sept. 6 print edition) and the New York Daily News guest editorial "Both Russia and Iran are trying to vote in our elections" (Sept. 10 print edition).
