That's why we must work together and send a strong message to the world that we will not stand for tampering with our elections," wrote Tester. "Americans expect us to do everything within our power to safeguard our nation's economy, security and democracy from foreign threats." Tester noted that Congress has a responsibility to conduct nonpartisan oversight and only an independent committee to investigate cybersecurity will bring clarity to this issue.Tester joins Republicans and Democrats in calling for this bipartisan Committee.
