Below please find is its trailer. The surprise this fellow evinces matches my own over the last few months, studying the security of our election infrastructure. I first began looking at it thinking, \u201cWhere is the vulnerability? At what weak spot might it be attacked?\u201d It turns out that the answer is, \u201cEverywhere. Just\u2026 everywhere.
