He said his office actively monitors scanning as part of their routine cyber security protocols. So a couple of quick questions. First of all, he was notified by DHS… you mentioned that we had been notified by the FBI of certain activity. Who coordinates this on a federal level because it's pretty unrealistic to expect each state is going to have be able to have its own policing mechanism when we are facing a national threat. Who coordinates this on the federal level?" asked Assemblyman Charles Lavine, Chair of the Assembly Committee of Election Law, while  questioning William Cross Chief Information Officer of New York State Board of Elections and Todd A.
