The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has officially cut funding to support states and local election offices on election security.

Election officials have warned that the cuts, which the administration signaled since before taking office, could leave them unable to protect voting systems from external threats.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said that the defunding of EI-ISAC will impact his office's coordination with county election offices around the state for this year ’s local elections.
