Russian hackers struck election systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported, Bloomberg News reports. As many as 90,000 records were ultimately compromised in Illinois, the report says. Experts say the threat comes from the potential for the loss of confidence in the results than the threat of manipulating the results themselves. Cybersecurity experts say states should avoid dependence on electronic systems, paper ballots and backup of all vote and count data as well as voter registration data are all measures we should adopt. Former White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Michael Daniel suggests defending state election systems is a priority.”]
