Google to give political parties anti-hacking tools in time for EU elections

Google, and S.C. as a whole are really the 'Grandchildren' to the 'Grandpa' American Political system.

Changing the status quo in that environment is like steering a barge through honey. They're so resistant to change, it's stunning.

While this is marketed(?) as a anti-hacking tool, this is just a reverse proxy. It's a good step, and it doesn't smell too badly of 'google'. They aren't offering to 'host' political party data, as far I can tell, and they aren't running voting machines. They're just stepping in as the 'kid next door that is good with computers' so that Grandpa stops getting Russian viruses.
