Last week, my colleagues and I were briefed on the state of election security in America. Afterward, my Republican colleagues claimed there was no need for new federal election security legislation.
Fast forward to this past weekend's @AP headline: “Old software makes new electoral systems ripe for hacking.” The majority of 10,000 election jurisdictions nationwide use systems that could be ripe for exploitation by hackers.
