Washington D.C. — An “Election Security Update” completed by congressional staffers says the Indiana election infrastructure is one of the 18 most vulnerable systems in the state. The report clearly states there are gaps in election security four months prior to the 2018 mid-term polling day.
The report lists Indiana as one of 12 states that use electronic voting machines that don’t have verifiable paper trails.
Indiana received $7.5 million from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission but the report says it would take $22 million to replace all of the voting machines in the state.
Ohio is not named in the report because their machines do create a paper trail.
