[1]Today's Headlines and Commentary:

    Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen informed the Senate
    intelligence committee on Wednesday that only 20 of 150 state and
    local election officials have the security clearances they need to
    receive election security intelligence, Axios [2]reports. Officials
    require this clearance to receive crucial information from the
    department on how best to decrease election infrastructure
    vulnerabilities ahead of Russian interference in the upcoming
    congressional midterm elections. Nielsen said that the department
    will sponsor a maximum of three officials per state to receive the
    sensitive clearance, and said her department will work through the
    interagency process to bypass the security clearance process and
    share urgent intelligence with local officials if needed.

  How useful is security intelligence if the primary audience by and
  large isn't allowed to read it?
