I’ve even gone to Congress to raise the alarm. Imagine what the Russians and North Koreans can do. I even turned one machine into a video game console. I’m a computer scientist who has hacked a lot of electronic voting machines. Huh?! That’s because people like me can hack them all too easily. I’m here to tell you that the electronic voting machines Americans got to solve the problem of voting integrity - they turned out to be an awful idea. After the chaos of the 2000 election, we were promised a modern and dependable way to vote.
Our election will find out whether Michigan students prefer their own university or our arch rival Ohio State. To show you why, I’m running a mock election using the same dangerous and obsolete machines still in use today. It’s time America’s leaders got serious about voting security.Īll cybersecurity experts who have given electronic voting machines any thought agree.
