Security researchers have found vulnerabilities with the machines some Americans will use to vote.
The news comes in a hotly contested election cycle where hacked emails are being deployed furiously in an attempt to sway public opinion. Meanwhile, hackers have already tried to breach election systems in more than 20 states, according to the Department of Homeland Security. According to experts, the people doing the hacking may not have to try hard.
"The machines themselves physically have been shown to be very vulnerable," Cris Thomas, a strategist for Tenable Network Security, a Maryland based cybersecurity company, told CNBC's "On the Money" recently. In a related development, some machines are using outdated technology.
"The fact is we've been voting on old technology, old Windows 2000 based operating systems The voting machines themselves are archaic, having been around for 10-15 years," said Congressman Hank Johnson, a Georgia Democrat who has sponsored legislation on the issue.

I think the media is setting it up so that crooked Hillary can challenge the election results when she loses, on the basis that the Russians had hacked the voting machines, LOL. Sort of like 2004 when they claimed Diebold stole the election for Bush.
Putin is unlike most American leaders (except Trump): he has a spine.
I guess the is MSM is going to goad all the brained dead who haven't decided yet into voting for the witch simply because she's smiling more using standard semantic psychological bandwagon herding techniques and the sad fact is that the idiots don't even realize it. Get on the tube and turn on the charm Trump and act relaxed. The woman knows how to fool people but you know how to see through them. C'mon and do your thing, T....
