The US Department of Homeland Security vows to protect the American citizens’ votes in part by setting up a “virtual situation room” for the November 6 midterm elections.
“We will be setting up a virtual situation rom on Election Day so we can very quickly support any incident response that’s needed and so we can share any information,” DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told Fox News on Sunday.
She made the comments after a week marking political violence and terrorism in the country.
Nielsen added that the department is “more prepared than we’ve ever been.”
