A federal judge in DC has paused a key section of #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder that makes sweeping changes to #voting & #elections.

Critics of Trump's #EO say it could disenfranchise millions of would-be #voters, & exceeds his authority.

The EO instructs the independent Election Assistance Commission (#EAC) to change the mail #VoterRegistration form to require that applicants show a document proving US #citizenship before they can be registered to #vote.

By gutting election security programs in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ( #CISA ),
the Trump administration may be exposing future elections to external threats, experts warn.

The agency has been crucial to helping state and local election officials secure elections from foreign and domestic cyber attacks and handle disinformation and influence campaigns that seek to erode Americans’ faith in democratic institutions.

Such election interference operations have grown both in scope and sophistication over the past decade,
-- especially with the rise of artificial intelligence.

The Trump administration placed employees that worked on CISA’s election programs on administrative leave
and stripped federal funding for systems that alert thousands of state and local governments to cybersecurity and election threats.

State and local election officials have told Democracy Docket they fear that dismantling these programs will leave future elections less secure.

Additionally, the administration disbanded an FBI special unit tasked with confronting foreign threats to elections,
creating what a former FBI counterintelligence head called “a free for all for foreign intel services seeking influence.”

Trump may be able to meddle with the nuts and bolts of election systems by controlling the Election Assistance Commission ( #EAC ).

With a similar leadership structure as the FEC,
the EAC helps state and local officials improve how elections are conducted.

It distributes grants to improve election infrastructure, certifies voting equipment and analyzes state-by-state data to determine best practices in election administration.

The EAC has long been targeted by Republicans,
and if Trump gains the ability to fire its board members at will, he could cripple the agency or influence how it certifies
— or decertifies
— voting system hardware and software.

The Trump administration has already attempted to influence the EAC’s work by including $55 million in election security grants administered by the agency
in its massive indefinite federal funding freeze earlier this year.

The administration rescinded the freeze after it set off a wave of legal challenges.

#art#MastoArt#artist

Et cette semaine, la Compagnie de l'Arcade travaille aussi avec les élèves du CFA agricole public de #laon Il était une fois...de trop, un projet artistique et culturel sur les causes et les conséquences du harcèlement. A partir d'une lecture-débat, comment explorer une thématique par l'échange, la pratique théâtrale, l'écriture, le regard des autres, et la découverte d'une forme immersive.

Est-ce qu'il y a une communauté Masto francophone #Spectacle #ArtsVivants #EducationArtistiqueEtCulturelle #EAC #MusiquesActuelles #Thêàtre #MusiqueContemporaine #Compagnie #Danse #violon ?

Si vous vous sentez concerné, voulez-vous bien réagir à ce pouet ? J'envisage d'ouvrir un #FediPack pour rassembler les comptes d'associations, compagnies, éventuelles administrations et médias spécialisés, etc.

Et je sais pas encore comment appeler cette commu... "Le Masto des Arts Vivants" par exemple ?

#Somalia in 2024 (1 of 4)

Last year, once again, the country has registered significant diplomatic successes meant to affirm Somalia's sovereignty and transition to a robust, modern state.

Somalia has become a full member of the East African Community (EAC) in March, and managed to pay her contribution in July, thus outdoing the #DRC. The latter joined the #EAC 2 years ago, but never contributed to its budget. Burundi and South Sudan also have large arrears.
