But if voting machine security standards don't change by the 2020 presidential election, Sen. Ron Wyden warns, the consequences could be far worse than the cyberattacks in 2016.
The Democrat from Oregon, who is a member of the Senate Intelligence committee, told the Defcon hacking conference that US voting infrastructure was failing to keep elections secure from potential cyberattacks.
Wyden had proposed an election security bill requiring paper ballots in 2018.
A House bill passed ,but was blocked in the Senate by Mitch McConnell, the majority leader.
McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, called it partisan legislation.
On Friday, Wyden blasted McConnell, calling him the reason why Congress hasn't been able to fix election security issues.
For two years in a row, hackers at Defcon have demonstrated that voting machines currently being used in US elections had serious security issues.
Now with the 2020 US presidential election quickly approaching, lawmakers who want to fix those vulnerabilities are heading to the hacking conference in Las Vegas to see them in person.
While there's no evidence that any votes were tampered with during the 2016 election, hackers have shown plenty of proof that the voting machines being used are vulnerable to attacks.
Lawmakers like Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, have proposed legislation to improve election security to make sure these vulnerabilities wouldn't affect future voters.
"White hat hackers do an invaluable public service in this technologic age by identifying security holes and, if necessary, shaming the government or the companies responsible into fixing them," Wyden said in a statement.
This comes after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned Congress last month that Russia would continue its efforts to hack US elections, telling lawmakers, "They're doing it as we sit here."
