Florida Election Supervisors: Our elections cannot be hacked

The Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections said in an open letter to voters that recent enhancements to Florida voting systems have dramatically reduced exposures to hacking elections.

“At the core of the security of Florida voting systems is the fact that we are a paper ballot state, which means that we can always refer to the paper ballot in the event of a disruption (with the exception of touchscreen for voters with disabilities),” said FSASE president Chris Chambliss. “It is also important to understand that electronic voting systems are not Internet-based and do not connect to each other online.”
