New York Times: “Since returning to office, Mr. Trump has tried to bend election mechanics to his will, kicking off a redistricting war with little precedent, bombastically calling for elections to be “nationalized” and having the F.B.I. seize materials from the 2020 election in Georgia and Arizona. Outside the spotlight, his administration has effectively gutted election security infrastructure that Mr. Trump himself created in his first term, including CISA’s election team and a program responsible for sharing threat intelligence with state and local officials.”“With less than eight months until the 2026 midterms, Republican and Democratic lawmakers and election officials across the country say that much of CISA’s support has disappeared, forcing them to prepare for an election without the agency as a trusted partner. They worry that elections will now be more susceptible to cyberattacks and foreign influence campaigns.”
