‘ALL VOTING MACHINES ARE HACKABLE’: JOHN OLIVER Oliver, in show show, said that every voting machine in the US can be tampered with, so the solution isn’t to make unhackable machines, but to


make them as secure as possible. He also played a clip of a hacker demonstrating a modal in 18 states. The hacker showed how easy it was get access in one of the machines under the span of


two minutes. He further added that Georgia's voting system has not been updated since 2005. “Georgia’s election system operates at the same level of technical proficiency as every dad,”


he joked. Oliver insisted that the country needs to create efficient systems to know when a problem has occurred. To explain why this is important, he showed a clip of Russian President


Vladimir Putin “joking” that he was going to influence the 2020 US elections.
