The title says "voting machine hack confirmed" when the article doesn't say anything about that and provides nothing to back it up at all. And tells us nothing that we didn't know already.

It's not a misleading headline. It's a flat out fucking lie.

Why post this garbage? I'm sure your smart enough to know your repeating a blatant lie for a headline after reading it.
