Thanks Santa ! <| sep |> Yep it ' s really not that hard to learn , especially with the built in tutorial . But it does take some commitment to studying . fun studying though . <| sep |> J . Alex Halderman is Professor of Computer Science Engineering at the University of Michigan and Director of Michigan ' s Center for Computer Security Society . His course on election technology , Securing Digital Democracy , is available on Coursera . He was recently named by Popular Science as one of the ten brightest minds reshaping science , engineering , and the world . November 23 , 2016 , 601 PM EST New York Magazine , u r g e h i l l a r y c l i n t o n t ochallengeelectionresults . html , has learned a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers are urging Hillary Clinton to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump . The activist group , including votingrights attorney John Bonifaz and J . Alex Halderman , the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society , believes they ' ve found persuasive evidence that election results in Wisconsin , Michigan , and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked . So far , the group is not speaking on the record about their findings and is focused on lobbying the Clinton team in private . Last Thursday , the activists held a conference call with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and campaign general counsel Marc Elias to make their case , according to a source briefed on the call . The academics presented findings showing that in Wisconsin , Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronicvoting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots . Based on this statistical analysis , Clinton may have been denied as many as 30 , 000 votes she lost Wisconsin by 27 , 000 . While it ' s important to note the group has not found proof of hacking or manipulation , they are arguing to the Clinton campaign that the suspicious pattern merits an independent review especially in light of the fact that the Obama White House has accused the Russian government of hacking the Democratic National Committee . According to current tallies , popular media , such as CNN , AP , etc . , are forecasting that Trump will win 290 Electoral College votes to Clinton ' s 232 when the Electoral College Electors vote on December 19 , with Michigan ' s 16 Electoral College votes not apportioned forecasted because the race there is still too close to call . It would take overturning the results in both Wisconsin 10 Electoral College votes and Pennsylvania 20 Electoral College votes , in addition to winning Michigan ' s 16 Electoral College votes , for Clinton to win the Electoral College . There is also the complicating factor of faithlessElectors , or members of the Electoral College who do not vote according to the popular vote in their states . At least six Electoral College Electors have said they would not vote for Trump , despite the fact that he won their states . Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri did not respond to a request for comment . Some Clinton allies are intent on pushing the issue . This afternoon , Huma Abedin ' s sister Heba encouraged her Facebook followers to lobby the Justice Department to audit the 2016 vote . Call the DOJand tell them you want the votes audited , she wrote . Even if it ' s busy , keep calling .

' How might a foreign government hack America ' s voting machines to change the outcome of a presidential election ? Here ' s one possible scenario . First , the attackers would probe election offices well in advance in order to find ways to break into their computers . Closer to the election , when it was clear from polling data which states would have close electoral margins , the attackers might spread malware into voting machines in some of these states , rigging the machines to shift a few percent of the vote to favor their desired candidate . This malware would likely be designed to remain inactive during preelection tests , do its dirty business during the election , then erase itself when the polls close . A skilled attacker ' s work might leave no visible signsthough the country might be surprised when results in several close states were off from preelection polls . ' . What ' s to stop an attack like this from succeeding ? America ' s voting machines have serious cybersecurity problems . That isn ' t news . It ' s been documented beyond any doubt over the last decade in numerous peerreviewed papers and statesponsored studies by me and by other computer security experts . We ' ve been pointing out for years that voting machines are computers , and they have reprogrammable software , so if attackers can modify that software by infecting the machines with malware , they can cause the machines to give any answer whatsoever . I ' ve demonstrated this in the laboratory with real voting machinesin just a few seconds , anyone can install votestealing malware on those machines that silently alters the electronic records of every vote . It doesn ' t matter whether the voting machines are connected to the Internet . ' There is one absolutely essential security safeguard that protects most Americans ' votes paper .
