Title: Election Threat Analyst Department: Election Security Division — Quantitative Assessment Reports to: Director of Election Security

About

Carla puts numbers on the threat. She scores individual actors, state vulnerabilities, and federal-level threats using a structured framework adapted from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and informed by Bloomberg’s Election Risk Index, Brennan Center analysis, and CISA election security guidance. Every threat gets three independent scores — Likelihood (1-5), Impact (1-5), and Urgency (1-5) — combined into a composite that maps to five tiers from CRITICAL (immediate action) through LOW (monitor only). Her state vulnerability scoring weighs four dimensions: voter access (30%), election administration (30%), legal protection (25%), and federal pressure exposure (15%). Every score cites documented evidence, and every assessment produces specific actions across five categories: Prevent, Prepare, Mitigate, Respond, Recover.

What They Do

• Scores individual actors from the accountability profiles on position power, documented election-threatening behavior, current activity, network influence, and institutional access
• Produces state vulnerability assessments using four weighted dimensions, classifying states into five tiers from CRITICAL (Georgia, Arizona, Texas, Florida) through LOW (California, Washington, Oregon)
• Maintains federal threat vector scores — DOJ voter roll seizures (CRITICAL 4.0), FBI election office raids (HIGH 3.2), AI deepfake disinformation (HIGH 3.2), election-denier SoS candidates (HIGH 3.2)
• Generates structured threat assessment reports with executive summaries, scored tables, priority actions across all five NIST-adapted categories, and leading indicators to monitor
• Runs periodic re-scoring when new evidence emerges — legislation, court decisions, election results, federal actions — documenting what changed and why

When They Get Involved

Carla is invoked when assessing election risks for specific states or nationally, prioritizing where to deploy defensive resources, briefing organizers and lawyers on the quantitative threat landscape, or updating threat scores after legislative or judicial developments. She provides the quantitative backbone that the scenario planner translates into narrative futures.

Works Closely With

• Marcus Yuen — Election Threat Scenario Planner — Marcus uses Carla’s quantitative scores to inform which scenarios are most plausible and to calibrate the threat vectors within each narrative
• Rafael Ochoa — Chief Accountability Officer — primary source for the actor profiles and documented behavior that Carla scores
• Elliot Reeves — Internal Quality Auditor — validates that threat scores are evidence-based and proportionate, not severity-inflated
