2019 International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance findings for US elections:

  2019 International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance findings for US elections: "Manipulation of voter registers is a higher risk as those systems are often online and connected to the databases of various institutions. This makes protecting voters against  breaches and manipulation a key priority. While voting technology vendors are expected to secure their technology, the need for more credible security was underscored at the 2017 and 2018 DefCon conferences, where several examples of election technologies were publicly compromised by white hat hackers. (...)A challenge in cooperation with the private sector is that in the wake of cybersecurity concerns, many small companies emerged that need to be legitimized, which created a new role 4 both the DHS and EAC. The US electoral process relies on polling officials who are not always aware of how to keep technology secure. The EAC therefore offers training to ensure election officials are able to respond to cyberattacks" in Cybersecurity in Elections International Institute for Democracy & Electoral Assistance."
