CISA issues election infrastructure security plan 40 days before midterms

The nation’s cybersecurity agency on Thursday released an election infrastructure security plan 40 days before November’s midterms , laying out potential threats to election systems and listing services it would offer to election officials to protect the vote. The plan, which Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had originally promised to release by mid-August, comes after the Trump administration has been trying to kickstart efforts to help states protect voting systems.
