A single insider shouldn't be able to potentially undermine the voting in an entire jurisdiction and, depending on the vulnerability, multiple jurisdictions. That is a massive vulnerability revealed by the fact that she was able to do it. No single person should be able to undermine our voting system and she knew they could and then demonstrated it. It is illegal and she should answer for the way she revealed the vulnerability but then I think Julian Assange and Edward Snowden should have been tried and jailed long ago for their unethical and irresponsible disclosures too, so I'm not a hypocrite.
