Russia’s hacking of the American voting system is being revealed as more invasive than previously believed. From the Brennan Center:

Brennan Center’s Larry Norden joined NPR’s “All Things Considered” to discuss the report revealing that Russia launched a cyberattack on a voting vendor before Election Day.

 
Keep in mind with all of this, there are vulnerabilities. PBS did a great outline a few months ago of the unsecure system we use:

Five states — New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina — will cast votes on digital systems without leaving a paper trail. The same applies to several jurisdictions in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. Cyber vulnerabilities exist in all of these locations. Most revolve around the age of the machines and their software.

The Brennan Center report estimated 43 states will use voting machines in 2016 that are more than 10 years old. Many of these devices contain outdated software — think Microsoft Windows XP or older — without security updates. Meanwhile, the mainframes of other machines are guarded by easy-to-pick padlocks or by no barrier at all. With the kind of stealth and sophistication that’s already out there, why wouldn’t a nation-state, cyber-criminal gang or activist group go into election systems that are completely vulnerable?
