The Trump administration has swept away nearly all of the government’s election-related cyber defenses so further reports such as this one are not to be expected.
It was put out by The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) They prepared this overview " to help partners defend against insider threat concerns that could materialize during the 2024 election cycle. For years, federal, state, local, and private sector partners nationwide have worked closely together to support state and local officials in safeguarding election infrastructure from cyber, physical, and insider threats….. While there is no evidence that malicious actors impacted election outcomes, it is important that election stakeholders at all levels are aware of the risks posed by insider threats and the steps that they can take to identify and mitigate these threats." .ALLEGRA DENGLER

Trump Demands Release Of Election Denier ‘Hostage’ Convicted By Colorado Jury
Trump demanded freedom for a key supporter, calling her the victim of "Communist persecution.”
President Donald Trump on Monday demanded that Tina Peters — a key supporter who was behind one of the most significant election security breaches in years — be freed from incarceration in Colorado, where she’s serving a yearslong prison sentence.
...The case represents one of the most significant U.S. election breaches to result from Trump’s attack on the voting process. Prosecutors described Peters as “a fox guarding the henhouse,” and Colorado Judge Matthew Barrett sentenced her to nine years behind bars, calling her a “charlatan” who’d peddled election “snake oil.”
