Here is summary:
Protecting the 2024 U.S. elections from foreign malign influence is crucial for safeguarding democratic integrity and ensuring that election outcomes truly reflect the will of the American people. Foreign influence can undermine public trust in the electoral process and distort the democratic decision-making that underpins the nation’s governance. Additionally, preventing foreign influence — efforts to shape election outcomes or undermine democratic processes — and interference — efforts to degrade or disrupt the United States’ ability to hold an election —helps maintain national security and protects the sovereignty of the electoral system from external manipulation. Ensuring a secure and fair election environment reinforces the principles of democracy and supports the legitimacy of the electoral process.
On Monday, October 7th, as we mark 30 days before the U.S. elections, experts from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) will provide a summary of the current threat environment — concentrating on state and local elections — and how the Intelligence Community is prepared to monitor and mitigate foreign threats ahead of Election Day.
