In a post in Medium, Halderman states that though this year’s deviations from pre-election polls were not likely the results of a cyberattack, he says
I believe the most likely explanation is that the polls were systematically wrong, rather than that the election was hacked. But I don’t believe that either one of these seemingly unlikely explanations is overwhelmingly more likely than the other. The only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidence — paper ballots and voting equipment in critical states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.Halderman reaffirmed his position that the US electronic voting infrastructure is vulnerable and added that the the only surefire way to guarantee an election’s integrity is a paper audit.
