"It increasingly looks like Russian hackers may have affected actual vote totals."

199. I have no argument with anything in the Kos article.

They make some common sense arguments for ways to make systems more robust and less vulnerable. As far as ALL paper elections vs. electronic machines with a paper backup (what I vote on), I really am not educated enough to make a strong argument either way. Every system CAN be corrupted. That I do know. Nothing will be perfect.

Where we disagree is whether the fraud has been taking place on a large scale basis already. I do not see evidence. I think there is AMPLE evidence that they steal elections through other 'legal' means instead. I will focus on fighting the crime that we know has been committed and making it as difficult as possible for them to actually tamper directly.

BTW, another way electronic voting machines are vulnerable is if there is widespread disruptions in the power grid during elections. Coincidentally, hacking our power grid is something that the Russians have ALSO been working on. So I hope districts that use touchscreens have a robust plan B in place in case of big power outages
