Bailing on PQC does seem like a mistake. It's getting merged into/has been merged into a lot of open source software at this point. It's just a matter of flipping the switch.

On the face of it, this seems like a really bad idea unless Trump is working at the behest of the U.S.A's enemies.

However, another possibility is to weaken the controls around voting machines to enable them to be easily hacked/controlled, assuming that they're not already compromised.
