A former security adviser to the Obama administration, Jake Braun, suggested during a CNN interview in 2017 that the “2020 election will be hacked no matter what we do.” After the election, which Democrat Joe Biden is projected to have won, concerns about election fraud have been mostly ridiculed by the cable channel. The 2017 CNN report follows a group of white hat hackers attempting to discern the integrity of electronic voting machines by hacking into them. According to the report, it took little time for the hackers to make progress, and several machines “were compromised within the first hour and a half.” One of the members of the event organised by DEF CON, the world’s largest hacker convention, explained that “if you’re a voter in America we’re likely hacking the machine that you vote on.”
