It's 4 years since we've learned that Russian hackers were trying to hack into our election infrastructure, but the response has been shockingly & embarrassingly weak. We've passed no federal reforms to set minimum security standards for elections systems. Some states still...2/
can't audit their elections, and most others don't bother. Some states still allow wireless modems that directly connect voting systems to the internet (even though you've been lied to and told they don't connect). This is in large part because there's been strong pushback ...3/
