For those who have confidence in our election system:
----------------------
At the 2017 Def Con computer security conference, perhaps the biggest gathering of hackers in the world, organizers challenged attendees to hack into a variety of 30 different voting machines used by election officials around the country.
Within 24 hours they hacked every one.
A 16-year-old hacker broke into as ExpressPoll voting machine used
by Georgia in 45 minutes. Another cyberhacker showed how he could change votes in the WINvote machine used in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Mississippi, with only a computer, a mouse and a Microsoft Word document, as long as he had the password. But the hacker soon discovered that WINvote machines all had
the same password.
The password, which could not be changed, was (you might want to take a deep breath) “abcde.”
------------------------
The truism often attributed (probably wrongly) to Stalin seems appropriate: “It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.”
