The Election Security Fantasy The recent speech by President Trump on election security is a prime example of how misinformation can become a potent tool in politics, even when it's based on a kernel of truth.
At its core, Trump's claims about China's alleged hacking of US voter data and the vulnerability of voting machines are both exaggerated and misleading.
While some states make voter registration information publicly available, including name, address, and party affiliation, this does not equate to a massive breach of election security.
