Voting in America is a right in our democracy, but the security of our voting machines is a concern.“I’m not exactly sure how the election fraud keeps happening, because they can make a slot machine unhackable, but it seems like the polling machines are susceptible to all kinds of intrusions and manipulation,” Colorado voter Karen Katalinich said.Cyber expert Kevin Ford says he believes the U.S. is still vulnerable to attacks.Ford, with CyberGRX, says voting machine technology differs from state to state. However, he says the problem isn’t necessarily with the machine. Rather, it’s what happens with the data after you cast your vote.“The machines themselves may keep records of who voted for whom, but in a lot of cases those records will be exported from the machine and moved to databases in the cloud and on the internet, which opens up a whole lot of other connectivity routes,” Ford said.He says many machines are connected to state websites. Some of which don’t have the best security due to lack of funding.“We already have examples of Russia accessing those databases, pulling information from those databases, and trying to attack those databases,” Ford said.Ford says intruders can try to upload some bad code to get the database to spit out valid data or destroy some of that data. He says many states have improved voting security, but others are lagging behind. While he does feel the U.S. is still vulnerable to another attack, others trust the technology.“I think people in charge of it are pretty thorough about making sure it’s done right, and if something’s wrong, it’s always brought to their attention,” Mississippi voter Ronnie Wilhite said.“It should be safe and secure enough for voters to feel confident in who they choose to elect their officials,” California voter Pen Chang said. “So, in general, I feel pretty good about the safety and security of the machines.” Ford says there is no federal requirement to look into the security of the voting system. He believes that needs to change, to make sure everyone’s vote is being counted fairly.“We need laws in place to make sure that we are looking into the voting systems so that we’re doing audits and risk assessments on those. We also need standards. We need policies, we need framework which tells the states how to secure voting systems.”Until then, some voters say they'll still cast their ballots by machine.“I guess I just trust the system that people are being honest,” Colorado voter Jenna Cobo said.**********************************************************If you'd like to contact the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 2652

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve took emergency action Sunday and slashed its benchmark interest rate by a full percentage point to nearly zero and announced it would purchase more Treasury securities to encourage lending to try to offset the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The central bank said the effects of the outbreak will weigh on economic activity in the near term and pose risks to the economic outlook. The central bank said it will keep rates at nearly zero until it feels confident the economy has weathered recent events. The Fed also said it has dropped its requirements that banks hold cash reserves in another move to encourage lending.The Fed's announcement comes after President Donald Trump badgered the the apolitical agency throughout weekend, pushing them to lower rates. Trump lauded the decision at a press conference at the White House on Sunday evening."I'm very happy," Trump said. "...you won't hear anything bad from me (about the fed) unless it's a few months from now." 1018

"They were the dogs of the aristocrats, and they were bred as a versatile hunting dogs."Just like most furry friends, her dogs are loving and energetic.

But Dr. Shelley Brown at Harmony Veterinary Center says there is a growing number of people not wanting to vaccinate their pets at all."Some people are very much against vaccinations, think all vaccinations are bad," Dr. Brown says. "And then you have the other side of the coin, where people want to vaccinate for every kind of disease their pet can possibly get." The 875
