Around the time of the election when it was discovered that the Russians might be meddling, there was a rush to determine which parts of our polling system was vulnerable. This is due to the fact that there is no national standard for how elections are done in each state. It was discovered that there was a high probability that the Russians had gained access to voter registration logs in some states. However it was assumed that vote t tally’s were not effected since individual voting machines were not connected to the internet. However there have been many security questions regarding the servers that tabulate and communicate district and state voter tally’s.
It is unclear what efforts are being done in regards to this years election. DHS says it has a plan. But it has been reported that there has been no directive from the white house. And it is unclear what other programs are active in our intelligence community.
