I have some very very bad news...
All of this shit was hack-able since the 2000s. And the State Department had NIST, in their famous 1992 speech to Congress, lie that Secure Electronic Voting was insecure.
Get this...
The current system we have is not secure at all. And implementing an improved system that makes it enormously much more difficult to pull these shenanigans, is somehow less secure than what we have in place now (which has almost no security). <-That's what NIST's testimony amounts to, now. Hindsight. Why would the State Department want NIST to lie about this?
One of you (Voat refugee) told me it was because multiple companies that provide voting for the US also do the same in other countries and the US would not be able to interfere in those elections if those companies had to adopt secure electronic voting best practices (like Estonia's system). That's an interesting take. But...I think it is far more insidious than that. I think it is due to the US Government wanting to interfere in domestic elections, not just foreign ones.
