密歇根新闻广播 纽约杂志发文导致民众怀疑特朗普当选的真实性

 

Yesterday, New York Magazine published an article that quickly went viral. It's entitled "Experts Urge Clinton Campaign to Challenge Election Results in 3 Swing States."

One of those swing states mentioned in the piece is Michigan, and one of the experts cited is J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.

Fred Woodhams from the Secretary of State's office joined Stateside to discuss the likelihood of election hacking¹ in Michigan.

"I'm a little confused with it," Woodhams said of the New York Magazine article, which apparently² contained some misinformation and prompted a clarification from Halderman.

"The initial story in the magazine seemed to imply that there's different types of voting systems used in Michigan. There are not. We exclusively use optical scan paper ballot³ systems. So every voter in Michigan marked a paper ballot."

Woodhams went on to explain the process by which ballots⁴ are cast and counted in Michigan and how the tabulating⁵ machines are secured.
