Most major media are continuing to push back on claims by President Donald Trump’s campaign that voting machines in some key battleground states were manipulated in favor of Democratic rival Joe Biden.
But on Saturday, the president tweeted a clip of an August 2019 NBC News report featuring technology correspondent Jacob Ward who explained how easy it is for hackers to penetrate and manipulate voting machines made by top companies such as Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart Intercivic.
Ward’s complete report, which is posted at NBC News’ website, is titled, “How hackers can target voting machines,” and was filed shortly after the world’s biggest underground hacking conference, DEFCON, ended in Las Vegas.
