Officials in 31 states say they want to replace their voting equipment before the elections, but most say they don't have the money to do so, the Brennan Center said.
At Pittman Park Recreation Center there were a limited amount of voting machines as thousands of voters waited to cast ballots in Atlanta on Nov. 6, 2018.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Time and money are running short for states to replace aging or inadequate voting machines before the 2020 presidential primaries, according to a report released Tuesday.
It can take months to decide on replacement machines, secure the funding, develop security protocols, train workers and test the equipment. "Without further federal assistance, we risk that new equipment and other critical improvements won't be in place for many years," Halderman said in congressional testimony last month."With the 2020 election on the horizon, the next major target for foreign cyberattacks, we need to act before it's too late."
The most urgent concern centers on the 12 states that use, either statewide or in certain local jurisdictions, electronic voting machines that do not produce a paper record so voters can verify their choices before they cast their ballot. Experts say these machines are vulnerable and that hackers could manipulate the outcome without detection.
Cybersecurity experts and officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security say a paper record is essential to securing the nation's elections and that rigorous audits are needed to detect any malfunction or efforts to interfere. They say this allows for one system used by all voters, including those with disabilities, while also offering a secure method for post-election audits.
