An online voting system used in Florida and Ohio can be hacked to alter votes without detection, researchers found
Bad actors could compromise OmniBallot's vote tallies by gaining access to Democracy Live's servers or one of its third-party web service providers, including Amazon or Google, the researchers found. Such an attack could also be carried out by an insider working for Democracy Live.
"No available technology can adequately mitigate these risks, so we urge jurisdictions not to deploy OmniBallot's online voting features," they added. At least seven states and 98 counties have already used OmniBallot. Of those, six governments — including the state governments of Delaware and West Virginia — enabled electronic ballot return without requiring physical copies of ballots.
