How Secure Are US Elections? Voting Machine Risks and the Growing Threat of AI

US election infrastructure faces multiple security gaps, including unpatched voting machines, QR-coded ballots that lack verification mechanisms, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven influence campaigns that could undermine election integrity. These vulnerabilities collectively present a risk to the security and verifiability of the electoral process.

Why it matters: Election officials, security practitioners, and IT teams supporting critical election infrastructure need to assess voting machine patch status and ballot verification procedures now, as these vulnerabilities could enable tampering or interference before the next election cycle.
