Concerns About Voting Machine Security
There is widespread anxiety regarding the security and integrity of current voting machines. Many people doubt whether their votes are truly counted and if the machines can be manipulated, leading to a significant lack of trust in the electoral system. Independent studies have shown that all voting machines tested have been successfully hacked, underscoring the fact that the notion of 'unhackable' does not exist.
