Federal Election Security Workforce Reduced, Oversight Commission Leadership Removed

The Trump administration has reportedly decreased the federal workforce dedicated to election security, including a significant reduction in personnel at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Concurrently, all active members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) have been removed, leaving the bipartisan agency without leadership. These actions occur amidst the President's continued emphasis on election security.
