National Guard to activate cybersecurity teams in 14 states ahead of midterm elections
38 National Guard cyber units provide support against issues, like network assessments and risk mitigation
The National Guard will be activating cybersecurity teams in 14 states ahead of the midterm elections on Tuesday to counter any potential interferences, Politico and StateScoop reported on Friday.
The decision to have teams ready for support has become a familiar one over the past few elections after the reports of Russian interference operations during the 2016 presidential election.
"Cyber’s that new domain. It’s a man-made domain," said Air Force Maj. Gen. Rich Neely, head of the Illinois National Guard, according to media outlet StateScoop. "Our goal is to make sure we have as secure elections as possible. We are at the really beginning stages of this."
National Guard Cyber Forces provided support in eight states during primary elections earlier this year and are reportedly prepared to protect the integrity of the midterms if necessary.
The 14 states with teams on duty Tuesday are North Carolina, Arizona, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, New York, Washington and West Virginia.
National Guard officials will work and receive security updates from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the key agency tasked with protecting election infrastructure against cyber threats, according to Politico.
There are 38 total cyber units within the National Guard consisting of over 2,200 personnel working to support state and local officials with cyber issues like network assessments and risk mitigation.

We wouldn't need to activate if we deactivate Dominion.

Sympathies for your loss as well. And as you know, those scars run deep, and they do not heal. Rhetoric, whether lightly meant or as a means to inflame the Mob is a powerful tool as evidenced over the years. Politicians have known it the longest, and Politics has been a problem since there were more than two people in a room... Threat assessment in the Military for me was easy...if someone breeches a perimeter around an aircraft with an obvious incendiary or explosive, they're shot. If they were successful in getting to the aircraft (as I told the roomful of NCO's and Brass), I could get hurt, therefore my reasons for using lethal force were "selfish". This brought a chuckle from the room, and appreciation for an honest answer. As to threats to home and self that's easy to differentiate, Ben Franklin was keenly aware of the threats to Democracy, and gave warnings, but they've gone unheeded. Come Tuesday, you'll probably get the result you wish as well as in 24', but as they say "be careful what your wish for".
As I see it we formed and were successful when we were, "One Nation under God" , Now no God, no country easy as pie.
I had a rather busy Friday, somewhat busy Saturday, and trying to recover today/Sunday.
Apparently, "Q" posted on 8kun. Somewhat surprising, given the recent lack of activity there.
Rather than question timing/placement/who, I'll choose to focus on the what.

Just stop at "As I see it" this is your opinion. Unless you can "put your thumb in the Pie" and pull a Deity out (so many to chose from, maybe you'll get lucky, nobody else has so far...).

Questions and a "Challange"... The questions I'll keep brief and the "Challange" is to answer without just doing endless re-posts from elsewhere. Quite the challenge here and in countless "Echo Chambers".
1: Its probable that the Alt-Right will pull off a big win on Tuesday and take back Congress overwhelmingly so that they have no viable opposition. Then comes the infighting for the next two years and then DeSantis is Elected. Again a probable outcome looking at the debacle that is (and has remarkable similarity to the ending of Orwell's "Animal Farm"). Come Wednesday, you should know that DeSantis and His minions will be looking at "50 ways to leave Trump in a shallow grave in the desert". Apologies to Paul Simon. so the Questions are...
1: After the (final?) Election in 24' and you've established an Alt-Right Utopia, whats you "Big Plan"? Please spell it out and do take your time....
2: Will you be strict Nationalists, Isolationists, or both? I'm sure Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and others will be throwing a really big Party if you prefer the Isolationist route.
3: I guess this one is a bit of a tie-in with question #2, but since "you have all the guns" and are "really tough' will you just go ahead and do a "first strike" on Russia, China, Etc. or do you have another plan?
And lastly question #4: Since you'll have all the political power after 24', who will take the blame then???

EXACTLY! Biden will step down sometime well before the 2024 election (health reasons) so that WheelsGoRound-n-Round can play president for awhile.
