Every election has problems. Most of the time, those problems aren't noticed. Elections rely on a lot of back-end infrastructure, besides the actual voting itself.

They particularly noted “distributed denial-of-service” attacks, which inundate a computer system with requests, potentially clogging up servers until the system becomes inaccessible to legitimate users.
