That number is insanely high. Are they talking about all voting machines being connected to the internet? Or is it some back office set of systems?
For the life I me I don’t know why voting machines and voting systems need to be connected to the internet. It’s just a flat out unnecessary risk.
That’s not to say that they shouldn’t be built so secure you could connect them to the internet. But nothing is perfect and unnecessary risks should be avoided with such an important system.
Which is probably why we should be using paper ballots and scanners with results called in from the regional counting centers. And manual count available then as much as needed or desired post election night for verification. This rush to electronic voting boggles my mind.
