This report is significant in that it illustrates why we must approach election integrity from a systems perspective. When the final authority of election integrity (CISA) is coordinating with NGO's, election officials and other government agencies to influence election outcomes, we have a problem that won't be solved by reforms like Voter ID and registration clean-ups - Yes. those measures will help, but what's necessary is a complete dismantling of the underlying SYSTEM. Otherwise, any remediation attempts can and will be circumvented.
This report, unfortunately, is constrained to CISA's role in coordinating censorship of "disinformation." It does not address CISA's influence (which extends all the way down to local levels) in contracting, "assistance" with vulnerability/threat detection and promotion of "best practices" that further erode election integrity.
DISMANTLE. THE. SYSTEM.
