The Worst 2020 Election Interference Will Be Perfectly Legal

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Caitlin Johnstone

Russia interfered in the 2016 election," tweeted presidential candidate Kamala Harris the other day. "If we don't do anything to upgrade our election infrastructure, we will leave our nation vulnerable to future attacks."

We've been seeing many such hysterical warnings about Russian interference in the upcoming 2020 elections, and as the election gets nearer we are 100 percent guaranteed to see a lot more.

Another concern people have been voicing, which has far more legitimacy, is the fear of election tampering from domestic actors. An article published the other day by Roll Call reports that experts are warning America's 2020 elections "will be held on voting machines that are woefully outdated and that any tampering by adversaries could lead to disputed results." An article published last month by the Guardian warns that new voting machines aren't necessarily an improvement.

"The purchases replace machines from the turn of the century that raise serious security concerns," the Guardian reports. "But the same companies that made and sold those machines are behind the new generation of technology, and a history of distrust between election security advocates and voting machine vendors has led to a bitter debate over the viability of the new voting equipment?—?leaving some campaigners wondering if America's election system in 2020 might still be just as vulnerable to attack."
