Emmett Brewer is one of 50 children between the ages of 8 and 16 who have tried to hack 13 fake websites (very accurate copies of all websites) related to the vote of presidents at the sub state, seek to manipulate party names, candidate names and total votes.

Another 11-year-old girl took only 15 minutes to hack a copy of Florida's election site and raised the number of votes by three times.

More than 30 other children have also attacked a host of other similar websites in less than 30 minutes.

Although the websites in this event are a copy, the security holes that child hackers exploit are real and found in the US electoral system.

Last year, adult hackers also participated in the event and could access similar election sites in less than 5 minutes.
