North Carolina’s electronic voting system in 2016 was hacked. The way hackers got in was through the company that provided the poll book- the electronic data that allows voting personnel to verify voters.
What changes we will we see to election procurement:
- contracts will contain and require higher data security standards
- vendors may be audited for data security purposes
- election workers will be equiped to switch to paper ballots, if during voting, it is discovered that election data is compromised
