  • An Unusual Request: Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted the agency that protects election systems to get and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers.
  • Undermining Election Security: President Donald Trump has said voting is vulnerable even as his administration has undermined the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is supposed to protect it.
  • On Their Own: Election officials across the country say the Trump administration’s attacks on CISA have left them to solve security issues with the midterms approaching.

Meaning the agency protecting the elections DIDN'T try to hack the machines up until now?

Not that I would ever give Trump any benefit of doubt, but holy shit this is some confusing narrative.

This is by community standards an ad, that is why I will remove the comment. As it does not serve any purpose other than marketing.
