Will federal funds be provided to states prevent future election hacking?

Ok ..It happened once...Will Congress set up funds and a system for states to make sure that it doesn't happen again?...My opinion..?..No. Why? It favored them, that is all they care about..Some may vote for such provisions..but I don't think it will ever even get to a vote. Who knows?

But I think that going back to paper ballots should have been first 100 days legislation back in 2008
