Pentagon Issues Public Election Security Directive to Deter Adversaries
Original: Defense Department’s Public Election Security Directive Sends Important, but Belated, Signal to U.S. Adversaries
The U.S. Defense Department has issued a public directive on election security, aimed at sending a signal of deterrence to foreign adversaries ahead of elections. Commentary from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies argues the move sends an important message, though it came later than critics would have liked, raising questions about how much delay may have cost in preparedness.
Why now: Election security is a live concern, and a rare public Pentagon directive on the topic draws attention to how the military is posturing against foreign interference.
