Can hackers rig the presidential election? (The 3:59, Ep. 90) - CNET

Have hackers already messed with previous presidential elections?

We also discuss the Galaxy Note 7's iris scanner, and how you would actually use it, as well as discuss who has the fastest wireless network in the US. Spoiler: It's not Sprint.
