SUMMARY:Heightened Election Security Risks Admist the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic\, countless aspects of American li
 fe have been impacted\, including our elections. Accommodations for the pa
 ndemic include an unprecedented shift towards absentee balloting across th
 e United States\, as well as drastically reduced in-person voting options.
  While we cannot predict the state of the pandemic come November\, it is c
 lear that elections will operate differently\, constrained by health conce
 rns around in-person voting\,reduced polling place staff\, and massive bud
 get shortfalls. Such large-scale change will necessarily impact election s
 ecurity\, as new attack surfaces open due to states relying on rapidly exp
 anded infrastructure. With political polarization at a high\, it is crucia
 l that elections remain safe and secure despite the pandemic\, and that Am
 erican citizens believe their elections credible. In this talk\, we will e
 xplore the areas of election infrastructure that are changing\, and new as
 sociated security concerns based on our work at the U.S. Cybersecurity and
  Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
