Democrats demand Homeland Security officials fund election security ahead of midterms

Democratic lawmakers are urging Homeland Security officials to provide funding for election security before the upcoming midterms. These officials expressed grave concern regarding the limited time available to support state and local election authorities in defending against cyber threats and the spread of mis- and disinformation. Additionally, it has been reported that the trailblazing journalist Gloria Steinem has died. These developments highlight urgent political demands for electoral protection alongside the loss of a prominent media figure.
