So if Clinton wins with less than 300 electoral votes, then we'll know what's up. Thanks, security expert!

I mean, I'm not going to get jumpy about this, but it is legitimately troubling.

Seriously.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Go back to paper or just use Internet voting and free-for-all it. lol 

But seriously, get some people that really knows encryption and security (like a certain person exiled in Russia) and get to work and stop giving this responsibility to only one company.

[OwlRhetoric]

Sounds like one more great argument against these machines. I've always been a fan of having some paper trail. Trust, but verify, and all that.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

This is why electric voting is dumb $hit.

This topic as well as fears that Russians will continue hacking US servers demonstrates that Obama lied about America being great. Actually the USA under Obama has become a second rate state whose inhabitants tremble with fear at mentioning Putin's name. Ha!  

[wjx987]

I highly doubt that this is really something America needs to worry about.

[Classic Conservative]

This is why we should have paper ballots like my town has

The only people who really need to fear are the members of your country, since your dictator is on the war path with his territorial expansion.  With the country going into depression due the the falling energy prices.  That is what is sad you twat.

Americans say twat? You learn something new every day.

That's not good.

If this happens, we should notice weird discrepancies between the results in states without voting machines (e.g. Washington and Oregon) and states with them.

Yes.
And you and all Russians should thank the west, otherwise you would have no computers and no cell phones.
Also, when going to the market for food, you would still only have 3 items total to choose from .... bread, milk and cigarettes.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

Someone is a little paranoid lol

[DrScholl]

Considering that Russia is a source of hacking, this is actually a legitimate concern.

[Mehmentum]

Yeah, it should be blindingly obvious if this happens.  A noticeable polling misfire + differences in states based on the voting mechanism.

I mean, they have not been able to falsify their own elections without this being blatantly obvious.

Paper ballots are recorded electronically.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Do the voting machines give printed receipts? That would allow a paper trail...

     Indeed. I mark paper ballots and then feed them into the machine. This is genuinely disturbing stuff.
