- Police later recover the key, equipment, and large amounts of digital storage at the suspect’s home, underscoring how vulnerable election infrastructure can be to insider threats.
- Many Americans now worry that if an elections “volunteer” can walk out with sensitive gear in Florida, similar weaknesses could exist nationwide in 2026 and beyond.
