WASHINGTON (TNS) The first primary in the 2020 presidential race is a little more than 250 days away, but lawmakers and experts worry that elections will be held on voting machines that are woefully outdated and that any tampering by adversaries could lead to disputed results.
Although states want to upgrade their voting systems, they dont have the money to do so, election officials told lawmakers last week.
Overhauling the nations election systems would mean injecting as much as $1 billion in federal grants that would then be supplemented by states, but top Senate Republicans have said they are unlikely to take up any election security bills or give more money to the states.
