Original: Hegseth says national security, military cyber forces will guard US election systems during midterms
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that national security and military cyber forces will be deployed to protect US election systems ahead of the midterm elections. The pledge means cyber defences will be directed at safeguarding voting infrastructure, amid ongoing concerns about foreign interference and attacks on electoral systems. It is expected to fuel debate over the military's domestic role in election security.
