Cybersecurity units from the National Guard will be activated in 14 U.S. states to help counter any threats to election officials’ networks ahead of, during, and after the upcoming Nov. 8 midterm elections, according to reports.
The 14 include battleground states Arizona, Iowa, and Pennsylvania, as well as Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina, New Mexico, New York, Washington, and West Virginia, reported Politico.
Brig. Gen. Gent Welsh, the commander of the Washington Air National Guard, said at a virtual media briefing on Nov. 4 that not every state is doing it but states that are activating these units “have invested in cyber talent and cyber missions for years,” according to outlet Statescoop, which reports on technology-related news in government.
“If you don’t have a cyber unit in your state you’re not in a good position to help them protect elections,” Welsh said.
He added that the National Guard’s participation in election cybersecurity activities “does add an air of credibility to what’s out there,” noting that the National Guard “is still one of the most trusted institutions in the United States.”

Are those the states that intend to "transform" the election??
Better late than never!
Who's election will they protect, the American people's or the left "Democracy"?
I would not trust the guard either, as they are flying black-op stealth copters over victims homes and places of business covertly listed on the counter terrorist watch list.
MAJOR CONCERN: According the George Soro'$ funded, extreme left wing Center for American Progress, since 2020 only the states of VA, CO, RI, AL and NY have made any changes to their elections! Which brings up my previous post: "Definition of Insanity" Keep using the same corrupted Election Officials, Election Rules, and Voting Machines then... expect a different outcome!
Well with all the republican voters enthusiam if we lose we will know for sure the demoncrats cheated
It really doesn't matter if they are connected to the internet or not. If you know anything about computers there can be software codes that do what ever it is they want it to do, and if that is to alter voters at certain rates then this is what it will do, no internet required.
We have to go back to paper ballots, but there is still ways of cheating with them too.
Quote: "Voting machines are not connected to the internet.” - Then Acting Undersecretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security Jeanette Manfra said those words, testifying before Congress while she was responsible for the security of the nations voting system. So... explain to us again why we need National Guard Cyber Teams?
