Congress weighs cuts to states’ already ‘insufficient’ election security dollars

As Congress debates voting restrictions pushed by President Trump and Republicans, there's a looming concern about potential cuts to already meager election security funding for states. The agency tasked with bolstering state election security could see its budget slashed, raising alarms about the ability to safeguard against potential cyber threats. This move could undermine efforts to ensure fair and secure elections, especially as the midterms approach. Critics argue that reducing funds for election security at a time when threats are increasing is shortsighted and dangerous.
