What actually got hacked was a voter database.
The actual voting machines are not online and can't be hacked.
The only thing I can figure that COULD be done by getting into the voter database would be to invalidate voter's registrations so that they couldn't vote.
But that wasn't reported by anyone as having happened.
One thing is for sure...the tech companies need to get contracted ASAP to get some real security on those databases. And the hosting companies they were using need to be changed to a host that takes security seriously.
