Here's a quote from a story I read earlier today:

"We haven't seen ransomware gangs target election infrastructure, or even local governments, specifically for political effect in the past - they've been hit because of phishing attacks that were at most targeted to individuals based on public data and were otherwise opportunistic." Proofpoint's DeGrippo adds: "While we have seen other malware accompanying election-themed lures, we haven't observed direct evidence that Trickbot specifically would be leveraged against election-related entities or distributed with election-themed messages.
