A reader comments on cybermeddling:
I seriously doubt we’ve tried to throw elections in places like Russia, China, etc. via cyberwarfare, or worse, completely break their inter-institutional faiths. For one, how could we? They’re effectively dictatorships, and the people already have little faith. In democracies, however, it’s key that most people have some reasonable faith in their governmental institutions, such as elections, otherwise we are SOL.
Which is why I’m more or less against voting machines, particularly those not using publicly sourced software and, for that matter, hardware.
