Survey: Majority of political consultants expect campaign hacks in 2020
An overwhelming majority of U.S. political consultants anticipate that one or even both major parties in the 2020 presidential campaign will be hacked, according to a report out Wednesday.
Campaign and Elections magazine's inaugural State of the Campaign Industry Survey said that among its findings: 87 percent of consultants surveyed said they think it is likely that one or both of the major parties’ presidential campaigns will be the target of cyber breaches in 2020.
At the same time, the survey found that 82 percent of political consultants expect digital strategists in the political world to become increasingly comfortable using disinformation tactics against opponents.
The poll results come as congressional investigators, election officials and law enforcement scramble to understand the sweeping disinformation and hacking campaign that still looms large over the 2016 race between President Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton
