US Election Security at Risk: Concerns Grow Over Potential Domestic Attacks on the Power Grid
Doug McIntyre discusses rising concerns that some Americans might attempt to disrupt the US electricity grid to interfere with the upcoming elections. Previously, the focus was on foreign actors like Russia, but now there is fear that domestic groups could target the grid, potentially causing blackouts that could prevent people from voting or counting votes. The FBI has reportedly observed online chatter from right-wing groups discussing such actions. As Election Day nears, the threat of grid attacks could cause significant anxiety, with even small explosives or rifles being sufficient to cause major disruptions.
