National Security Agency and Cyber Forces Deployed to Protect Voting Infrastructure
The US National Security Agency and other military intelligence and cybersecurity forces will be deployed to guard election systems during the November midterms, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This move comes after President Trump dismantled the civilian agency responsible for safeguarding election infrastructure, sparking concerns about the timing and motives behind the announcement. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released an election infrastructure security plan, but critics argue that the administration’s actions may undermine the integrity of the electoral process. This development was reported by an unknown source.
