President Trump, who has often expressed concerns about threats to election security, has seen his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reduce funding and staff for agencies designed to support this security. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has cut $10 million in funding for Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISAC) and laid off hundreds of employees. Experts are worried about the potential consequences of these reductions.
