2/It includes protecting those who run our elections, like state and local election officials, information technology staff, poll workers, and vendor support staff. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/david-levine-i…

If any of these assets aren't sufficiently protected, our election infrastructure will be more susceptible to threats. gao.gov/assets/710/704…. As a result, all of these things should be part of any election after-action review.
The 2020 presidential election was secure and well-run, particularly considering the challenging circumstances facing those on the front-lines of our elections, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.
