CISA issues election infrastructure security plan 40 days before midterms

CISA released an election infrastructure security plan 40 days before the midterms, detailing potential threats and services for election officials. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had originally promised the plan by mid-August. This initiative follows Trump administration efforts to help states protect voting systems. However, election officials claim the plan arrives too late, noting that previous cuts to agency election security work forced them to rely on private services to ensure the protection of the vote.
