The problem isn't that it's likely the elections will be rigged or that a foreign power will hack them—but the mere suspicion is dangerous.
At least 12 states (some are swing states) have significant use of electronic-only voting systems. Ohio has verification but it's garbage.
It's disastrous for a democracy to not be able to fend of claims of vote rigging because we use crappy electronic systems in many states.
My piece: Make Our Ballots Paper Again. Especially important given all this "rigging" talk. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/14/opinion/campaign-stops/the-election-wont-be-rigged-but-it-could-be-hacked.html …pic.twitter.com/i6lvsn2cr4

Claim that the election was stolen. It will be the new birtherism. https://twitter.com/buzzfeedandrew/status/764666038717906944 …
zeynep tufekci added,
Trump will get a new TV show and it will be "stolen election" 24/7. His fan base is large enough for ratings—just not for general election.
For weekday folks: Our voting machines are dismal. Unsafe, outdated software. And now all this "rigging" talk. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/14/opinion/campaign-stops/the-election-wont-be-rigged-but-it-could-be-hacked.html …
Ohio voting machines use Windows XP. (Their paper trail is garbage). Georgia uses Windows 2000. (No paper trail). Neither supported anymore.
windows 2000, no, can't see any problems there at all! https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-26/product_id-107/cvssscoremin-5/cvssscoremax-5.99/Microsoft-Windows-2000.html …
