Summary

After the 2016 General Election, the talk was all around foreign meddling. Rumors swirled that some votes may have been changed or influenced by state-sponsored actors. Sanctions and accusations followed. Four years later, is the U.S. any more prepared to protect the results of its largest elections? More than you may realize. Talos researchers take a deep dive into election security after spending the past four years talking to local, state and national officials, performing their own independent research and even watching one state plan an election in real-time. Joining us in this week's Research Saturday to discuss the report on this timely topic is Cisco Talos' Matt Olney. The research can be found here: What to expect when you’re electing: Talos’ 2020 election security primer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
