Why Future Federal Reports on Election Security May Be Unreliable

The Department of Homeland Security is damaging its credibility by promoting an activist with a history of false election claims.

As the Department of Homeland Security prepares to issue reports about the integrity of state election systems, the public should be aware of tactics used by election deniers to spread false narratives.

President Trump has attempted to assert control over election systems, ordering DHS to report on election technology security and review state voter rolls for unqualified voters.

Since starting his second term, President Trump has engaged in a broad attempt to illegally assert control over these systems.

The promotion of an activist with a history of false election claims undermines the credibility of future federal reports on election security.

By doing so, the Department of Homeland Security may compromise the trustworthiness of its reports, making them unreliable.

Autor's resume: Future federal reports may be unreliable.
