On Friday, Jan 19th, Professor and Election Expert J. Alex Halderman stunned Judge Amy Totenberg’s Courtroom by quickly hacking into a Dominion Voting Machine with only a pen. This demonstration was live proof of the vulnerabilities identified in his now famous report. The career forensic experts who worked on the Mesa County reports claim that everything in these reports was a result of the Hard Drive Images made of the Mesa County, Colorado Election Management Server, before and after Dominion Voting Systems did a ‘software upgrade’ known as “The Trusted Build”. These reports have been ignored by Election Authorities. Here are some of the takeaways from the Mesa County Reports: 1) The report concludes that the unauthorized existence of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) in the operational Election Equipment allows for easy intentional vote flipping. SSMS allows direct unauthorized modification of ballot programming and votes. 2) The system is reportedly specifically programmed to automatically direct all voting system devices to other networks, including to the internet with a click of a button or plugging in a cable. 3) There are many other egregious insecurities beyond just the few above. It would take countless hours to go over them all. 4) A secondary unauthorized database exists, as described in report #3, (and it was also featured in the documentary Selectioncode), it allowed for the creation of a ‘second set of books’ that was reportably used by nefarious actors. 5) The Mesa County Report #2 claims that 36 Wireless Devices were installed in the voting systems, allowing for a multitude of wireless connections to be made at will at any time. This is especially troubling after it had been repeatedly declared by the Voting System providers/administrators/politicians that “Voting Machines are not Connected to the Internet” (or any other Network), thus violating law for certification. 6) The “Trusted Build” reportedly deleted election records such as Access, Audit and Adjudication Log Files. This made it impossible to verify the election results. These deletions reportedly occurred long before the mandatory retention period defined by State and Federal Laws. Professor Halderman demonstrated how simple it is to hack into Georgia’s Dominion election systems, and his work provides support for the issues identified in the Mesa Reports 1-3. Together as clearly shown by Professor Halderman and the three Mesa County Reports, our electronic voting systems (Poll Pads, Tabulators, Servers, ICXs etc.) are poorly designed for transparency, and security, and by no means provide assurance to every voter that their vote was counted as cast. The “I Voted” sticker in conjunction with empty “Trust Us” words of Election Officials is no substitute for the assurances all Americans deserve with their sacred elections. Additionally, the new twist of Rank Choice Voting (RCV) is only a Trojan Horse to keep Electronic Voting Machines in the Election Ecosystem, because they are required to accomplish the complicated convoluted calculations required for RCV. With 2024 Elections just around the corner, it’s of utmost importance that the issues identified in Mesa Reports 1-3 be considered by Judge Totenberg alongside Professor Halderman’s conclusions in order to have the fairest ruling possible. ETA: Thus far in this series from The Gateway Pundit, Dr. J Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science, was able to exploit critical vulnerabilities of the Dominion ICX BMD (ballot marking system) voting machine in federal court as part of a demonstration in the long-running Curling v Raffensperger lawsuit. In Part 1 of this series, we covered the explosive testimony and demonstration of University of Michigan Professor Dr. J Alex Halderman in the federal lawsuit Curling v. Raffensperger. The Gateway Pundit covered the ease of which one could exploit the “BIC pen hack” and, further, the simple and inexpensive creation of voter, poll-worker, and, most importantly, technician Smart cards to attack the Dominion ICX BMD or ballot marking device (about $30). In Part 2 of the series, we covered the ability to hide evidence of manipulation by deleting audit logs and automating the “attack” by simply inserting a technician card or a USB “Bash Bunny” device, which costs about $100. Dr. Halderman testified in court that all of the information one would need to program those devices to attack a Dominion ICX BMD is “remarkably” available to the public. After the Bash Bunny installation of malware in under two minutes without breaking or removing any seals, Dr. Halderman demonstrated in his video a mock election. He had five ballots that were a “yes” or “no” contest. All five were marked with “yes” and verified as “yes” votes on the human-readable text. However, when the votes were tabulated, the results were two votes for “yes” and three votes for “no” despite the ballots all reading “yes.” Further, this attack could be programmed to initiate only on certain ballots. Dr Halderman testified: “Instead of cheating on every ballot, you could program malware to cheat on every second ballot, every third ballot, et cetera. So that if a voter noticed a problem and complained and then was instructed to go back to the machine, try again, we’ll see if it is a problem with the machine. When the voter repeated the same selections, the ballot would come out correctly.” This would inevitably make the attack almost undetectable at the local level as most poll-workers would likely assume a voter simply made a mistake rather than thinking the machine was compromised. This could also be used to program the Dominion ICX BMD to either subvert the Logic and Accuracy testing by starting only after a certain number of ballots have been created, or to detect it’s being tested based on the date and time. It can also be programmed to only become active on Election day. Oh, and it can also delete itself after an election so that it passes any audits or testing of the machine that are conducted, according to Dr. Halderman. According the testimony, Vulnerability #7 is that “there isn’t an effective cryptographic protection in the ICX to validate that the applications installed on it actually are genuine software that comes from Dominion.” Here again is the transcript from the court hearing and Professor Halderman’s testimony. View Fullscreen View Fullscreen The Super Spreader Event… All of the above attacks involve physical access to the BMD system and are rather centralized to just the Dominion ICX BMD that was attacked. However, Dr. Halderman described an attack that doesn’t require physical access and can seemingly be far more widespread. He testified that these attacks were “particularly concerning.” “These vulnerabilities provide a way to install malware by piggybacking, essentially, on the normal pre-election processes that are used to install the ballot information onto all of the BMDs prior to an election.” Dr. Halderman described the pre-election process that is undertaken before each election, where every Dominion ICX BMD is loaded with an election definition file. This file tells the BMD what is supposed to be on the ballot for that jurisdiction. Election definition files are created for the entire state at the Center for Election Systems in the Secretary of State’s office using an election management system. The computers used to create these files are running Dominion software and are “disconnected”, or, presumably, “air gapped”. The definition files are copied onto USB sticks and then sent to the counties to be installed on their election management system, which is also “disconnected.” An attacker could “make certain modifications to the election definition file in a way that allows the attacker to overwrite other files on the BMD when the election definition is loaded.”

Lots of people won’t care as long as Trump was kept out of office.
No more mean tweets. The adults are in charge again. Trump was going to cause WWIII. America is a joke today. |

Duh! You think people actually voted for a senile old man who never left his basement?

And how many of these Dominion voting systems were replaced before the 2022 Mid Terms?
And how many have been replaced for the 2024 Presidential Election? They got away with EVERYTHING last time, this time they will be even more eregegious. |

He flipped the winner in a theoretical election between President George Washington and Benedict Arnold, the Revolutionary War general who defected to the British. He rigged the machine to print out as many ballots as he wanted. |

One would be hard pressed to build a worse system if they wanted to.

And then there's this, from the Az Audit thread...

That's how you do it, you prove it in court. I wish them luck, there's no reason for those machines not to be running open source software on open spec hardware.
