Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Thursday the state would partner with state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to “mitigate threats” to elections, such as speech it deems “misinformation.” The Pennsylvania State Department separately revealed to The Federalist that the task force’s cooperation with DHS would include “continu[ing] to work closely” with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Shapiro created the “Pennsylvania Election Threats Task Force” that will “coordinate plans to mitigate threats to the election process, protect voters from intimidation, and provide voters with accurate, trusted election information.”
