In recent days, 17 employees of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who have worked with election officials to provide assessments and trainings dealing with a range of threats — from cyber and ransomware attacks to physical security of election workers — have been placed on leave pending a review, according to a person familiar with the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Ten of those employees are regional election security specialists hired as part of an effort to expand field staff and election security expertise ahead of the 2024 election. The regional staffers were told the internal review would examine efforts to combat attempts by foreign governments to influence U.S. elections, duties that were assigned to other agency staff, according to the person.
All were former state or local election officials who were brought in to build relationships across all 50 states and the nation’s more than 8,000 local election jurisdictions. They spent the past year meeting with election officials, attending conferences and trainings, and ensuring officials were aware of the agency’s various cybersecurity and physical security services.

The other staffers placed on leave are current or former members of the agency’s Election Security and Resilience team, who were told the review was looking into agency efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation campaigns, according to the person familiar with the situation. The 10 election security specialists who worked with state and local election officials reported to a different team at CISA, the field operations division.

Third time is the charm.
Like turning Musk's audit over to the Pritzgers and Pelosi.
All were former state or local election officials...
Does not sound like they were cybersecurity experts...
But of course we already know about this organization.
“..worked with election officials to provide assessments and trainings dealing with a range of threats — from cyber and ransomware attacks to physical security of election workers..”
Right, that’s not what that corrupt partisan agency was doing. They were training them to avoid being caught cheating.
“Third time is the charm.”
Not in this case.
Well, since they were hacked last year it seems a leave is in order.

I am calling BS. Most likely these jokes have no cyber experience and are of the “disinformation” clowns that are nothing but democrap party hacks.
