Delaware drops internet-based voting system used by some absentee voters amid security concerns
Originally published June 16, 2020 by Delaware Public Media
Delaware ended its pilot of an internet-based voting system for people with physical disabilities and others voting absentee after a damaging study found cybersecurity vulnerabilities. CDS Director Beth Mineo said that the system's billing as a way to increase accessibility was "really unfortunate," because it came at the unacceptable cost of election security. Delaware returned to its preexisting absentee voting system – which includes an option to submit ballots via email that cybersecurity experts also criticize.
