Ahead of the US presidential election, here’s how voting machines protect against cosmic rays and other dangers
On the 18th of May, 2003, Maria Vindevogel of Schaerbeek, Belgium, found herself placed in the center of a cosmic anomaly.

Belgium had been experimenting with electronic voting for a decade at this stage, but something seemed amiss. After hours of re-counting, all vote counts matched... except for Vindevogel, who was up 4,096 votes more than she should have been.
