Ok so we have a state actor with unlimited resources attempting to manipulate our elections. Our defense consists of programmers and sysadmins working for the local county making sub-40s per year in salary (no offense). The election software is written on Windows 95 running with an Access database backend. I am not kidding.

Of course we've already been hacked. I personally think the 2016 had to be hacked given that no one, even Trump, thought he would get close to winning. I know it sounds like conspiracy theory bullshit, but come on, they already got Hillary's emails from the DNC. How hard could it be to target a certain number of counties in key states?

Certainly there are other techies out there who agree with me?
