💨 Abstract

The U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee voted 9-6 to advance Sean Plankey's nomination to lead CISA, the agency responsible for securing critical infrastructure, including election systems. Plankey, former U.S. Coast Guard and Trump administration official, faces challenges due to partisan tensions surrounding CISA's election misinformation activities. Critics, including Republicans, argue the agency veered into censorship.
