Today the Texas Observer, Austin based and founded 1954, published my new article, first in a series about whistleblower Reality Winner:

My article discusses the 2016 cyberattacks Reality Winner disclosed -- two interrelated spearphishing offensives by Kremlin military officers, first against election technology supplier VR Systems, then against local Florida elections officials -- in the context of the Texas Secretary of State certifying the vendor's e-pollbooks for use statewide in Texas a little more than a year ago. I interview a county information security officer, two county elections administrators, as well as Winner's mother and lawyer, all of them Texans. Toward the end of the piece, I discuss polarization and historical context around various evidence for, and various lack of evidence for, election meddling in the United States.
