Key resource alert: The Committee for Safe and Secure Elections (CSSE) recently released updated recommendations to help thwart swatting attempts that aim to intimidate and silence targeted individuals. Swatting, where false emergency calls are made to draw a heavily armed police response (SWAT team) to a specific location, is highly dangerous and disruptive to safety and to the electoral process. Ahead of the upcoming election, it is crucial for election and law enforcement officials to collaborate and have the tools and processes in place to respond to such threats, as well as to doxing and other forms of intimidation and harassment.
