The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released an election infrastructure security plan 40 days before the November 2026 midterms, laying out potential threats to election systems and listing services it would offer to election officials to protect the vote (SCMP, September 24). The plan, originally promised by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to be released by mid-August, comes as the Trump administration has been trying to kickstart efforts to help states protect voting systems (SCMP, September 24).
This story is likely to develop further as the midterms approach, with potential controversies over federal-state coordination, funding, and threat disclosures.
