The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has halted all election security initiatives and is conducting a sweeping review of its activities over the past eight years aimed at securing elections. This pause, prompted by President Trump’s unfounded allegations of election fraud, signifies a shift in the agency's focus, as outlined by acting director Bridget Bean in a memo to employees. The agency plans to reassess its role and funding related to election security and misinformation countermeasures, and has placed certain employees on administrative leave, highlighting the contentious intersection of cybersecurity and politics.
CISA is freezing all election security activities and reviewing past efforts to secure elections, following pressure from Trump regarding election fraud claims.
Acting director Bridget Bean announced a comprehensive review of CISA's election security programs, halting operations until assessments of past actions are complete.
