The White House has delayed publication of an Office of the Director of National Intelligence report on vulnerabilities in US voting machines ahead of the midterm elections, Reuters first reported. The unpublished assessment raises concerns about outdated software and possible internet connections, while not finding evidence that votes were altered.
The timing has alarmed election officials who rely on federal findings to guide software updates, recertification and other security checks before ballots are cast. With no public release date announced, the report has become a test of how much the administration is prepared to reveal without undermining confidence in the system.
