Spencer Wood, a regional election security advisor with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, addresses election workers, staff and law enforcement April 10, 2024, at a Committee of Safe and Secure Elections conference in Traverse City, Mich. A top concern for local election workers throughout the country this year is their own safety. The committee, formed after the 2020 presidential election, is traveling the country helping them prepare for what could lie ahead. Wood told the attendees they were not facing the threats alone and praised them as the ?frontline defenders? of the nation?s elections. (AP Photo/John L. Russell)
