White House Delays Release of U.S. Voting Machine Vulnerability Report Ahead of Midterms
The White House has delayed releasing a government report detailing vulnerabilities in U.S. voting machines ahead of the November midterm elections. The report, produced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), highlights security gaps but does not confirm any vote manipulation. Director Tulsi Gabbard, who initiated the investigation amid claims of 2020 election fraud, is stepping down, with Bill Pulte appointed interim director. Some officials fear the report could affect voter confidence, while others believe it insufficiently supports fraud claims. Democrats express concern the probe may push for paper ballots.
