How secure is the 2024 US Presidential Election voting system?

How secure are the voting systems worldwide? What about the 2024 US Presidential Election voting system? Let's check the situation.

"It is highly likely that voting and counting machines will be hacked," computer hardware and cybersecurity experts write in their commentaries.

I agree with their logical and evidential reasoning!

Indeed, voting and counting machines will be hacked, almost certainly!

A former editor of the Linux Journal has provided references and evidential reasons why the 2024 US presidential election will be more vulnerable to data manipulation and hacking than ever before.

Voters indeed select the governments by casting their invaluable votes.

However (BUT), a big question remains about the authenticity, ethics, and error/hacking-free performance of the complete electoral process, including the voting systems, printed ballots, electronic voting machines, counting machines, and the integrity of the significant number of voting staff members (humans).

Even if one or a few of the enormous voting staff members can misuse their administrative control over the computers of the 2024 US presidential election or any other general election of a country, it will significantly impact the results!

Openly supporting a candidate is very fair. Like Elon Musk, supporting his choice is welcome. Guy Kawasaki is welcome to speak in support of his choice. Every voter has the freedom to talk about their choicest candidates.

But can voters be assured of a fair electoral process from voting to counting votes, the roles of the election organizing agencies and the courts in addressing complaints about rigging and malpractices, and finally, the announcement of results?

It is the burning question in every election around the world.
