government -- sen. portman: there is federal money provided for that. in this case, and the state of ohio are your state of florida, we will take it away from the democracy effect, which is right now in ohio, the state legislature makes that decision. he wants to take it away and make it a federal responsibility. through some kind of commission. he says that if you get a provisional vote outside of the precinct, you have to include. some states allowed, some don't. the bottom line is we should make it easier to vote in this country and hard to cheat. i think they do a very good job on a bipartisan approach because we have democrats and republicans on every election board in every county. why take that away from the state of ohio? that is mike and about what joe is trying to do area i appreciate him trying to find middle ground and who knows, maybe something can be done.

>> you look at the effort to stop these cyber attacks, you mention we have pretty good ability to tell who did them. is there a way and which intelligence now has to go on the offense or go on the offense even more than it has in this area? if the u.s. is on the offense, does that mean we are entering the age of greater volatility? rep. schiff: we do have to go more on offense. that means will be identify cyber groups working in conjunction with foreign states, we treat them as armored states. we use cyber capabilities to destroy or disrupt the infrastructure we are using for whatever funds they are accumulating for these attacks. does that yield to greater instability? very possibly. because we would be taking action against more parties. this has been happening for years and years. what we have been doing thus far has not worked.
