5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jen Easterly, Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency:
"Over 97 percent of registered voters will cast their ballots in jurisdictions where there is a paper record that they can verify. Very important to understand that. Also very important to understand that the machines that Americans will use to cast their ballots are not connected to the Internet, which makes it extraordinarily difficult for malicious foreign actors to actually impact how votes are cast or how those votes that are cast are counted."

"At the end of the night, when you see those unofficial election results, when AP is calling it, just understand that there may be a need for a recount. There'll be audits. It's there's a process that election officials go through to ensure the accuracy of that vote. And the paper records will be counted and recounted and audited to ensure that accuracy."

"Americans need to understand is in every state where it is likely to be close, there are paper records. The places where there are not paper records are in states where there is not likely to be a close election."

"Our foreign adversaries have two main goals, and those goals are to undermine American confidence in the security of our elections and in our democratic institutions and two, to stoke partisan discord."
