How secure is the U.S. voting system?
Computer voting machines that can be hacked and a lack of paper trail mean that some votes could potentially be difficult to verify.
"I think it is safe to say that there will be some voting systems that fail or have serious troubles during the election, since there are thousands of them and they are more complex than ever," said David Jefferson, a computer scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in northern California and chairman of Verified Voting.
"It is, of course, much more problematic to predict which ones," Jefferson added, "although we have some general guesses."
