70 election agencies across 19 states so far have signed up for a free Web security service called the Athenian Project. The free service is from Cloudflare, which secured the websites of Donald Trump’s and Bernie Sanders’ campaigns during the 2016 presidential election. The goal of the service is to help shore up security in local election systems. The state of Idaho is one of the most recent adopters of the free service, and is expecting an increase in attack attempts this fall. Experts say the most likely threats to US election systems are to disrupt or undermine the process itself.”]
