Voting Machines: What Could Possibly Go Wrong? (Nov. 5, 2018)

Elections Systems & Software, LLC, and Dominion Voting, account for about 80 percent of US election equipment. A third company, Hart Intercivic, whose e-slate machines have recently been reported to be flipping early votes in the current Senate race in Texas between Beto O’Rourke and Ted Cruz, accounts for another 11 percent. The enormous reach of these three vendors creates an obvious vulnerability and potential target for a corrupt insider or outside hacker intent on wreaking havoc.

These vendors supply three main types of equipment that voters use at the polls: optical or digital scanners for counting hand-marked paper ballots, direct record electronic (usually touchscreen) voting machines, and ballot-marking devices that generate computer-marked paper ballots or “summary cards” to be counted on scanners. Contrary to popular belief, all such equipment can be hacked via the Internet because all such equipment must receive programming before each election from memory cards or USB sticks prepared on the county’s election management system, which connects to the Internet.

Thus, if an election management system is infected with malware, the malware can spread from that system to the memory cards and USB sticks, which then would transfer it to all voting machines, scanners, and ballot-marking devices in the county. Malicious actors could also attack election management systems via the remote access software that some vendors have installed in these systems. ES&S admitted earlier this year that it has installed remote access software in election management systems in 300 jurisdictions, which it refuses to identify.

The memory cards or USB sticks used to transfer the pre-election programming from the election management system to the voting machines, scanners, and ballot-marking devices constitute another potential attack vector. In theory, the person who distributes those cards or USB sticks to the precincts could swap them out for cards containing a vote-flipping program.

Memory cards are also used in the reverse direction—to transfer precinct tallies from the voting machines and scanners to the election management system’s central tabulator, which aggregates those tallies. Problems can occur during this process, too.

The most worrisome aspect of all these various vulnerabilities is that—should they be exploited—we will be unable to prove whether and to what extent they have affected the outcome of an election.

Kemp will keep lying & punt to Raffensberger to run interference for him. But the voters see right through that Betrayal.

This morning, Perdue was on Maria Bartiromo's show and made one of his best arguments against Kemp, imo. Kemp is still in the camp of nothing bad happened in Nov 2020, even though he pushed through SB 202.. Maria asked how Perdue can help assure voters their vote will count. He said the quiet part out loud. Just like the VA model. Everyone knows the Democrats cheated. So how do we stop it? He said, "We know what they did and how they did it. We are recruiting poll watchers and poll workers all over the state to be involved in the process so this cannot happen again." Kemp cannot say this because he still affirms there was nothing wrong in November 2020. The GAGOP knows what happened, even though our elected officials continue to deny it. That is why they are pushing for poll workers and poll workers to join the effort across the state. Also, that is why Marc Elias had to change tactics. They know we are on to them. They just want to ban candidates from being on the ballot. That is how desperate they are right now. Going back to my original point. David has the upper hand on this one. What will be Kemp's response?

In unvanquishable number-
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you-
Ye are many-they are few.'
