The U.S. did not experience attacks on election infrastructure that significantly affected the midterm elections, President Joe Biden’s top homeland security aide said Tuesday.
The lack of disruptions — combined with the defeats of election deniers who falsely claimed the 2020 contest was illegitimate — should bolster Americans’ confidence in the nation’s voting system, according to White House Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall.
Federal election-security efforts have been “thus far, from the evidence that we are seeing in this election cycle, successful but we must remain ever vigilant,” Sherwood-Randall said during a program hosted at Bloomberg as part of the fifth annual 9/11 Memorial & Museum Summit on Security, presented by Fiserv.
