Routers serve as the mail carrier of a computer network: They deliver messages using maps of networks and computer addresses.
Think of it like a mail carrier who relies on maps and addresses to get mail to the right place.
Given access to the mail carriers or routers information, it would be easier for a bad actor to get access to a person s mail, or to target the information inside the network.
That s an analogy one tech expert – Matt Bernhard, a research engineer at Voting Works, a nonpartisan nonprofit that advocates for open source election technology gave while explaining the importance of keeping Maricopa County s routers secure.

The Arizona Senate-ordered audit of Maricopa County s general election will take a one-week hiatus at the end of the week to make way for high school graduations at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix.
The plan is to move the ballots and equipment to another area of the Arizona State Fairgrounds on Friday and move back in May 23 to pick back up on May 24.
“We’ll stand aside and secure all the ballots and equipment here on the property and be ready to go when they’re finished,” said the state Senate s audit liaison Ken Bennett.
Jen Yee, assistant executive director at the Arizona State Fair and Exposition, confirmed the plan, but said nothing had been signed as of Monday.

Debra Ell, a Republican organizer in Michigan and fervent supporter of former president Donald Trump, said she has good reason to believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
“I think I speak for many people in that Trump has never actually been wrong, and so we’ve learned to trust when he says something, that he’s not just going to spew something out there that’s wrong and not verified,” she said, referring to Trump’s claims that widespread electoral fraud caused his loss to President Joe Biden in November.
GOP lawmakers, state legislators and local party officials have embraced the baseless claims that Biden did not defeat Trump, with potential ramifications for the midterms and the 2024 election.
