As the midterms approach, America’s electronic voting systems are more vulnerable than ever. Why isn’t anyone trying to fix them?
I suggest you read this excellent article in today’s (2018-09-30) New York Times. In light of the Russian meddling in our 2016 Presidential elections, this issue–the security of our voting process–which I’m sure most of us have taken for granted for all of our lives, is more important now than ever. In fact taking just about anything for granted has become a very costly habit in this second decade of the 21st Century.
The author of the article, Kim Zetter, has covered cybersecurity for more than a decade. She is the author of “Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World’s First Digital Weapon.”
I urge you to read this article. Faith in the integrity of our voting process is imperative if we want to live under a truly democratic government.
