The term 'red teaming' derives from the war games that U.S. officials conducted during the Cold War to prepare for catastrophic attacks against American interests. In the run-up to the Presidential election, think tanks have been executing countless such exercises.
The goal of the tabletop exercises is to understand who the players are so we're not meeting on Election Day. Randy Padfield, the director of PEMA, said these preparations are key in ensuring efficient responses to any election-related disruptions.
When something wicked this way comes, it's really a matter of, Are we prepared for it or not? Al Schmidt, Pennsylvania's secretary of state, emphasizes the importance of readiness for potential threats during the election period.
Pennsylvania poses a unique set of security challenges. Schmidt notes that many rural counties have never had to think about crowds and large-scale voting disruptions, making planning critical.
