Our democracy is under cyberattack. The Director of National Intelligence revealed yesterday that Iranian operatives have sent threatening emails aimed at influencing voters’ choice for president.

DNI John Ratcliffe offered reassurances that our government is “on top of this.” Hopefully, that’s the case. Confidence would be higher, however, if he and other senior officials were acting to prevent what appears to be a far more serious electronic threat to our elections.

Dallas-based Allied Special Operations Group has been warning for many months that twenty-eight U.S. states rely on servers in Spain to process electoral returns. The Group’s Russ Ramsland recently presented evidence on my TV show, “Securing America,” showing at least one race – for Kentucky’s governor – being stolen in 2018 when such data streams were manipulated.

We need the U.S. government on top of fixing this vulnerability, NOW.
