National Security Agency and Cyber Forces 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 the civilian agency responsible for election infrastructure security was dismantled, and has raised concerns among elections experts and civil rights groups about potential meddling in the voting process. The announcement was made just weeks before Election Day, with early voting already underway, and was reported by Corpus Christi KRIS 6 News.
