At min, you want a paper trail and to perform regular internal audit to confirm that your system wasn't altered. There is no such thing as bullet proof security. Than there is such a thing as stupid security. I wouldn't at all be surprised that the state voting systems run the full gamut of security, from very secure, to not at all secure.
Some of the security issues raised by Voting Village are being overlooked. Voting websites that still use http instead of https. Even clutchfans is guilty of this which is pretty silly. With just http, every bit of data transmitted is in cleartext. Passwords, posts, etc. With the pop up ads filled with malware that Clutch doesn't even handle remediation for while charging to use this site, I'm not surprised. That's a different argument though. What's concerning is its estimated that up to 70% of the voting machines the U.S. still uses hosts these vulnerabilities that even 11 year olds could break into. And even if the voting machines weren't tampered with, the websites that store voting tallies are susceptible to near two decade old vulnerabilities like SQL Injection. The dismissiveness from either party with an upcoming election cycle in less than 2 months is disturbing as even our own government is downplaying the risks involved with this glaring vulnerabilities. If we're to chant "Russia, Russia, Russia!" because of influencing our democratic elections, it's probably a good idea to fix the cybersecurity vulnerabilities that allow for such easy tampering from anyone. Altering our voting democratic process. So easy, even 11 years olds are capable of doing it.
