US Election Results Safe From Foreign Adversaries: Cybersecurity Director [Video]

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the head of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) assured voters on Wednesday that foreign adversaries will not be able to alter the outcome of the election.

In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Jen Easterly, CISA’s director, said that the nation’s election systems—including voting and ballot-counting—are more secure than ever, making any attempts to alter the outcome of the election from foreign adversaries impossible.

“Malicious actors, even if they tried, could not have an impact at scale such that there would be a material effect on the outcome of the election,” Easterly said.

This comes as Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, will face off against former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, in just over a month.

Newsweek reached out to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency via email on Wednesday for further comment.
