Remote chance of cyberattacks affecting election
By Sandra Chereb, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY —The nation’s secretaries of state are trying to reassure voters that despite talk of cyberattacks and “rigged” systems in this contentious election cycle, the prospect of outside hackers skewing the outcome is remote.
In a letter to Congress from the National Association of Secretaries of States delivered Monday, top election officials said they are working with national security agencies “to address any attempts by nation-state adversaries to disrupt the presidential election and call its integrity into question.”
The association downplayed any suggestion that hacking could manipulate the election tally.
