The Russians, or someone else, could really hack the 2018 midterm elections

A top maker of voting machines used in several states had reportedly installed remote access software that was vulnerable to hacking on election systems. Paired with the announcement last week of indictments against 12 Russian intelligence officers, for charges including hacking election systems and the companies operating them, this should be a call to action to assess and bolster the cybersecurity of electronic machines used at various stages of the voting process and make sure that these devices can be audited to guard against election interference and destabilizing allegations of such interference.
