Federal, state and local officials charged with protecting voting integrity face a "diverse and complex" threat landscape, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told the Senate Intelligence Committee at a hearing about risks to the 2024 elections. But she also said the federal government "has never been better prepared" to protect elections, thanks to lessons learned since Russia tried to influence voters in 2016.

4.) Trump’s Fraud Claims Died in Court, but the Myth of Stolen Elections Lives On
For years, Republicans have used the specter of cheating as a reason to impose barriers to ballot access. A definitive debunking of claims of wrongdoing in 2020 has not changed that message.

5.) Just the Facts
The Maricopa County Elections Department is committed to providing voters with accurate information about elections administration in the country’s second largest voting jurisdiction.
“The in-depth analysis and review of the reports and presentations issued by the Senate’s contractors found that nearly every finding included faulty analysis, inaccurate claims, misleading conclusions, and a lack of understanding of federal and state election laws.
Our review of the claims made by Cyber Ninjas, CyFIR, EchoMail, and the Senate’s Audit Liaisons found:
* 22 were misleading. The claims lead the reader to assume a conclusion that is not supported by the evidence.
* 41 were inaccurate. The claims include flawed or misstated analysis.
* 13 were false. The claims are demonstrably false and can be proven false using materials provided to the Senate.
The November 2020 General Election was administered with integrity and the results were accurate and reliable. This has been proven through statutorily required accuracy tests, court cases, hand counts performed by the political parties, and post-election audits. The Elections Department followed all federal and state election laws.”

Understanding what a “Space Military Conflict/War” would actually mean & how it would happen :

The First Space-Cyber War and the Need for New Regimes and Policies

2.) Space Delta 6 protects space and cyberspace
By Airman Ryan Prince, Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs / Published December 14, 2020
Space Delta 6 activated July 24 and is a functional component of the United States Space Force, known as the ‘Cyber Delta.’ Space Delta 6’s mission is to provide continuous space access and availability through the Satellite Control Network

3.) The US is unprepared for space cyberwarfare
Sep 4, 2019
Virtually every aspect of American national security, including the detection of threats, the use of weapons, the deployment of forces and their resupply, is now dependent on the integrity of critical space-based capabilities.
In defense parlance, those systems are known as command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and integral and expeditionary logistics.
Cyberattacks on space-based systems can produce data loss, service disruptions, sensor interference or the permanent loss of satellite capabilities.
An adversary could potentially seize control of a satellite through a cyberattack on its command-and-control system, subtly corrupt the data it provides, or even redirect its orbit, essentially transforming it into a kinetic weapon against other space infrastructure.
