CNS News– Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor, Josh Shapiro, has announced the formation of a comprehensive election security task force aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the 2024 vote in the crucial battleground state. The Election Threats Task Force, spearheaded by Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, will coordinate efforts across federal, state, and local agencies to combat interference, misinformation, and other potential obstacles to a free and fair election.
Comprising officials from diverse sectors including election administration, law enforcement, homeland security, and emergency management, the task force is tasked with coordinating plans and sharing critical information to address multifaceted challenges to election safety. Its primary objectives include mitigating threats to elections, protecting voters and election workers, and ensuring the dissemination of accurate information to voters.
The initiative comes in response to concerns raised following the 2020 election, which witnessed a slew of challenges including threats to election workers, the spread of misinformation, and delays in the vote count. By proactively addressing these issues through interagency collaboration, Pennsylvania aims to fortify its electoral processes and restore confidence in the democratic system.
