在2026年之前,由于削减和空缺,独联体国家选举局减少了支持,这引起了选举安全方面的关切。 CISA's reduced support due to cuts and vacancies raises election security concerns ahead of 2026.

负责保护美国选举制度的网络安全和基础设施安全署(CISA)由于裁员、预算削减以及特朗普政府的领导职位空缺,大幅降低了对近期州级选举的参与。 The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), responsible for protecting U.S. election systems, has significantly reduced its involvement in recent state elections due to staff cuts, budget reductions, and leadership vacancies under the Trump administration. 自2018年以来,中亚独联体区域局提供了关键支助,包括威胁警告、安全指导和应急规划,但已有1 000多名雇员被解雇,关键的选举举措没有资金,该机构仍然没有一名经确认的主任。 Since 2018, CISA had provided critical support including threat warnings, security guidance, and emergency planning, but over 1,000 employees have been laid off, key election initiatives were defunded, and the agency remains without a confirmed director. 明尼苏达州、加利福尼亚州和其他州的州官员报告说,在最近的选举中,联邦援助极少或根本没有,这使人们对2026年中期选举的准备情况表示关切。 State officials in Minnesota, California, and others report minimal or no federal assistance during recent elections, raising concerns about preparedness for the 2026 midterms. 尽管CISA表示若有请求仍准备提供帮助，全国选举官员仍对联邦持续协调和支持的流失表示担忧。 Despite CISA stating it remains ready to assist if asked, election officials nationwide express alarm over the loss of consistent federal coordination and support.
