I thought this was a pretty interesting article. It speaks on the fact that there are many flaws in the current voting system and that they are fairly easily hack-able. It talks about how at DefCon ( a hacking conference) Users were able to to hack into the machines in no time. According to the article though this is only the beginning of the problem.

Hi Jonathan:
Very interesting article and I agree with you that voting system machines have many different vulnerabilities that could affect personal voter information.
Jonathan – This is indeed a topic of concern because transparent elections are the backbone of any economy. With the research talking about how the voting machines of 2016 elections could have been compromised, your article definitely throws light on the threat that these machines pose. What is interesting to note from the article is that how will regulations prevent foreign manufactured parts from entering into such machines? The concern is quite valid because malware could be introduced very easily even before the foreign manufacturer parts are fitted into voting systems.
