While I agree random auditing is always warranted, regardless, it's important that people understand how misconstrued this whole situation is. Before presenting illogical conclusions, let's look at simple facts (references in links below):

• Voting booths are not on the internet.
• Paper ballots dominate the states in question.
• If hackers made it through the security layers, expect no clear evidence to support it.
• Security professionals have voiced concern, but based solely on antiquated techniques that would involve mass domestic conspiracy.
• A report of an imminent attack on voting booths around Aug/2016 sent internet news outlets in a frenzy of false information. The story; a modified hardware revision of a purchased voting booth could be swapped for a real one.
  • Reports that surfaced around Nov/2016 demonstrate flaws in reverse engineered software, something any respectful group of engineers can accomplish in a few days time.

I guess the point of this post is not to fuel anyone's fire, but show that until raw evidence is found, this article means nothing. Any real security expert would know the first rule in fighting malicious security flaws, is you don't talk about malicious security flaws; you would inevitably risk a lot more if you did.
