Ohio's House Bill 577 aims to bolster election security by requiring photo IDs for mail-in ballots, but is it the right move for voters, especially the most vulnerable?

Top US spy cites no foreign threats to November elections The U.S. intelligence community has ‌identified no foreign threat to the upcoming congressional elections, according to testimony from President Donald Trump's spy chief on Wednesday.

When past reports flagged foreign interference, saying there’s no current threat raises eyebrows. Either the threat changed, or the messaging did. That gap is where trust and concern start to grow. #ElectionSecurity #NationalSecurity #Intelligence
