The current level you're playing at is: protect against script kiddies, XSS, and drive by server attacks.
The level that system would play at is: protect against other nations with sophistication at the level of the NSA, protect against other nations that compromise an employee of said system, and to protect against large scale DDOS attacks during a critical time in our democracy
The presidential election would arguably be the biggest target of hackers. With the right hack you're essentially directing hundreds of billions of dollars where you want to if you elect the right candidate.
