Experts Raise 'Serious Threats' to 2024 Election from Voting System Breaches

Group Urges Federal Probe and Risk Assessment of Voting Machines, Citing Breaches in Several States

A group of experts, including computer scientists, election security experts, and voter advocacy organizations, have raised concerns about 'serious threats' to the 2024 presidential election due to breaches in voting system software.
The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70% of the votes cast across the country.
The group has sent a letter to federal agencies, including the U.S. Attorney General and the FBI Director, urging for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country.
The letter also mentions unauthorized access to voting-related systems in several states, including Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, and Colorado.
The experts warn that possession of voting system software could enable people with ill intent to practice how to meddle in the 2024 election, allowing them to identify vulnerabilities and test potential attacks.
