The Structure of Election Security

In the election security landscape, there are three primary groups that operate within defined boundaries due to legal restrictions. The top tier consists of the election infrastructure ISAC community, which includes secretaries of state and voting machine companies that play a crucial role in managing election processes. The middle tier comprises the campaigns and candidates, who are essentially the players in the election, operating under specific campaign finance laws. Lastly, non-campaign democracy organizations, often referred to as super PACs, advocate for various issues and manage funds differently based on their legal designations, yet all face common threats from adversaries targeting election systems.
