Representative Houlahan Leads Pennsylvania Democrats in Requesting Election Cybersecurity Details from CISA
Representative Chrissy Houlahan, alongside four other Pennsylvania House Democrats, has formally requested detailed information from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) regarding preparations for election cybersecurity. The request, addressed to CISA Regional Director William J. Ryan, seeks insights into how Pennsylvania election officials are safeguarding against cyberattacks, ransomware, foreign influence efforts, threats to election workers, physical incidents, and misinformation. This initiative comes amidst reported reductions in staffing and funding at CISA, raising concerns among lawmakers about the availability of federal resources to protect voters, election workers, and critical election infrastructure. The Democrats have set a deadline of September 25, 2026, for CISA to provide a response to their inquiries.
