Hackers Can Change Ballots Cast with Voatz Voting App
Flaws in the blockchain app some states plan to use in the 2020 election allow bad actors to alter or cancel someone’s vote or expose their private info. Security researchers have found key flaws in a mobile voting app that some states plan to use in the 2020 election that can allow hackers to launch both client- and server-side attacks that can easily manipulate or even delete someone’s vote, as well as prevent a reliable audit from taking place after the fact, they said.

Anyone who refuses to go to a polling place or submit a properly authenticated absentee ballot should be deemed to have forfeited his/her right to vote…
Voting apps should be banned along with assault weapons…
Neither are a good idea re the exercise of constitutional rights…

It might be a good idea for a Democrat to hack one of those states and switch every vote in a district to Democrats, something statistically wildly improbable, thenRepublicans will scream for the app to be pulled.

My small town of New Hampshire still does paper ballots. We need to return to paper and pen !

There are some Trump supporters who would insist that a return to paper and pen would be an attempt to suppress the Trump vote….
