Episode Description

Hackers have targeted the Federal Elections Commission's system, disrupting campaign finance disclosures with less than a week to go until the election. As of this morning, the FEC's electronic filing system is still out of service. Inside Sources host Holly Richardson points out that this is a great reason why our elections shouldn't be centralized; it's much harder to hack more than 3,200 individual county systems from all over the country.
