A new report from the Department of Homeland Security said that election workers in this year’s campaign will face “the most significant physical threat” from domestic terrorists who will target “government officials, voters, and elections-related personnel and infrastructure, including polling places, ballot drop box locations, voter registration sites, campaign events, political party offices, and vote counting sites,” ABC News reports.
In the 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment, analysts said the threat level “will remain high” and that threats are coming from more than the Trump’s own Irrational Guard of supporters who think civilian election’s workers are cheating. Other threats were also discussed.
“Between September 2023 and July 2024, [domestic violent extremists] driven by various anti-government, racial, or gender-related motivations have conducted at least four attacks in the Homeland, one of which resulted in a death. US law enforcement disrupted at least seven additional [domestic violent extremist] plots,” according to the assessment.; “Two [homegrown violent extremist] attacks, partially motivated by the Israel-HAMAS conflict, also occurred during this timeframe, and law enforcement disrupted at least three other HVE plots.”
