Every election has problems. Most of the time, those problems aren't <br>
noticed. Elections rely on a lot of back-end infrastructure, besides the <br>
actual voting itself.<br>
<br>
It could be a DDOS attack, or simply duct-taped systems having trouble <br>
with the load.<br>
<br>
Voting early (mail, drop-off, in-person) means more time to fix glitches.<br>

The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned <br>
elections officials nationwide last week that cyberattacks could disrupt <br>
their systems during the run-up to the election. They particularly noted <br>
“distributed denial-of-service” attacks, which inundate a computer system <br>
with requests, potentially clogging up servers until the system becomes <br>
inaccessible to legitimate users.<br>
