Summary
The U.S. Postal Service has proposed new rules requiring states to provide data on voters who receive mail-in ballots for federal elections, following President Trump's tightening of mail-in voting rules aimed at election security. However, a new report suggests that the real election security threats are different from what these measures address. The article features analysis from Arron Rose of Check Point Software Technologies, who discusses cybersecurity threats to elections, suggesting that misinformation and cyber threats may pose greater risks than mail-in ballot fraud.
