America’s top hackers have revealed that the voting machines due to be used in the 2024 presidential election have vulnerabilities that allow ballot counts to be manipulated.
However, despite the discovery, it may be too late to address the vulnerabilities before the critical November elections.
The vulnerabilities were revealed by hackers at the annual DEF CON conference in Las Vegas.

During the event, hackers sought to identify vulnerabilities in voting machines that will be used for the 2024 election.
The DEF CON “Voting Village” hacking event entailed hackers working with a variety of voting machines.
They were able to bypass firewalls and other security measures on devices meant for counting ballots and confirming voters’ identities, Politico reported.
Many individuals focused on election integrity are concerned that no system to swiftly update security measures exists, according to the outlet.
Due to the lack of measures available to fix the issues, the vulnerabilities are likely to still be there on Election Day.
“As far as time goes, it is hard to make any real, major, systemic changes, but especially 90 days out from the election,” Catherine Terranova, one of the Voting Village organizers, reportedly stated.
The organizers plan on publishing an imminent report on the hacker’s findings.
Harri Hursti, co-founder of the Voting Village, reportedly said the detected vulnerabilities took up “multiple pages” by Saturday afternoon.
However, the process to address any bugs in the system would likely not finish in time for the November general election, according to the outlet.
The event comes after President Donald Trump’s campaign was reportedly hacked last week.
