The report outlines escalating election security concerns for 2024, emphasizing AI-driven disinformation (deepfakes, spoofed robocalls, social media amplification), and cites guidance from US agencies (FBI, CISA, EAC, NIST) advising against electronic ballot return due to confidentiality, integrity, and availability risks. It also references a US-UK-Canada commitment to counter foreign information manipulation and details CISA recommendations to protect election workers from mailed hazardous substances (fentanyl, anthrax, ricin) through training, protective gear, and response best practices.
