Security becoming a challenge for upcoming 2024 election

Election officials preparing for the 2024 presidential election face a growing list of security challenges. These include potential cyberattacks targeting voter registration systems and websites that report unofficial results, and the amplification of equipment problems or human errors by those seeking to undermine confidence in the outcome. Additionally, new risks have developed since the 2020 election, such as death threats directed at election workers and breaches of voting equipment. Foreign governments, primarily Russia, China, and Iran, are seen as wanting to undermine the U.S. by interfering with elections. The potential for such interference has increased due to global tensions. Concerns also exist about technical failures and the impact of widespread conspiracy theories on election integrity.
