The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee recommended Tuesday that Congress "urgently pass" legislation to bolster federal help to states that are trying to prevent their election systems from being hacked as they were in 2016.

New legislation is included in the committee's initial draft of recommendations to prevent more hacking of U.S. elections. The recommendations are included in the committee's initial findings after spending more than a year investigating Russian attempts to target U.S. voting systems during the 2016 campaign.

The recommendations also call on the Department of Homeland Security to develop channels of communication between federal, state and local officials, and that Washington "clearly communicate" that attacks on elections are hostile and appropriate agencies should "respond accordingly."
