    Your hyper-partisan notion and the assessment of Trump's cybersecurity election expert are assigned their relative merit.

    Trump can't win unless he cheats, that is all the proof we need, Republican set the precedents

    so we will need the VP to declare Biden the winner if trump wins

    Or... they Fox knew there were inherent flaws based on recieved knowledge and reported on it before proof. You know, allegations.

    And as more truth starts to come out, the "most intrigity election of all time!" crowd doesn't want to even entertain the possibility that it wasn't as safe and secure as represented?

    It’s because of the source and the left leaning crowd in here will only believe their sources. I’m gettin that part taken care of soon

    I barely had to poke around to verify this thread. In fact it took longer to quote all your messages than it took to research it. It is a fact and it’s very factual it happened. Here is a left leaning source to appease those who don’t believe.


    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna136275


    “In court in January, Halderman used a borrowed pen to quickly bypass the election software and access the machine’s operating system within seconds, before he later flipped a vote on the machine from George Washington to Benedict Arnold, a Revolutionary War officer who defected to the British. The hack required limited and cheap supplies, he testified.”


    The thread later goes on to note the states position as follows…


    In a statement, a spokesperson for Dominion defended its machines.

    “Mr. Halderman’s experiment did not happen in the real world, and he had far more than a BIC pen. Under court directive, Halderman was given all the passwords, security cards, exact election files, and more — everything he would need to try to cause trouble. He also faced none of the numerous mandated physical and operational safeguards in place during actual elections,” the spokesperson said in part. “The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has already concluded that all of Mr. Halderman’s assertions are mitigated by existing election procedures.”


    ——————-

    I understand there will be the argument of the state that there are other measures he would have to pass in real life. But the fact of the matter that a simple pen was used to access the machine to change a vote is very real and very factual. They are in fact easily hacked.

    I've been saying for years that the Russians hacked into voting machines to change vote to Trump in 2016.
    Here's even more evidence.

    The problem as I see it is we are removing responsibility from humans and giving it to computers, narrowing the number of people who know what is going on, not to mention the common sense of recounting and getting the same total three times.
    America is stuck in this rut of allowing elections to be gamed by BEBU* and we are being bombarded by dark money lying, light money lying, the MSM lying, and where the rubber hits the voter, funky machinery invisibly counting ballots with party flunkies in charge. Our oligarchs owe us a voting system that is 100% secure. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, to name a few are capable of doing it and doing it well.
    Maybe us voters should start a "GoFundMe" and finance a single voting system that is used nationally and is secure.

    Did you even read the section you quoted? He was given ALL the security codes and necessary tools needed to conduct his stunt in court by Dominion. LOL

    Here is how the Dominion vote machine was hacked.
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/e...otential-election-vulnerabilities/ar-BB1h9SUJ

    Halderman’s hacks were simple yet alarming; he manipulated the results of a hypothetical election, producing as many ballots as desired, and even managed to reboot a machine into “safe mode” by inserting a pen into the voting machine. Once in this mode, he could freely edit files, tweak settings, and install malware, gaining “super-user” access and the potential to alter any aspect of the machine’s operation. “All it takes is five seconds and a Bic pen,” Halderman remarked, evoking a sense of urgency in addressing these vulnerabilities.

    I posted it… and quoted it… what kind of ignorant response was that? Of course I read it. The fact remains he done so with the singular tool of a pen. They are hackable and any election official who had the motivation to alter votes could easily do so. I’m sorry you need a scenario painted for you and are incapable of seeing the issue on your own.

    Another one who didn't read the pertinent information regarding this stunt. He was also given ALL the security codes and tools by Dominion, under court order to conduct this. LOL

    Anything is hackable if the system you're hacking into gives you all the security codes and tools under court order to do so.

    LOL, it's as if I'm living in a delusional mango fantasy world.

    Dominion has them and has a vested interest in the winner. Your argument is the smoking gun.

    Should any voting machine be capable of altering votes? Should there even be a pathway for that? You’re looking at this through rose colored glasses.

    I understand as do we all. You were calling this made up and more right wing grasps then you get proven wrong and go to attacking the posters because you can’t possibly fathom a way to alter an election although it’s laid down right in front of you

    Lol . So the OP was 100% BS as expected. Hey perhaps I could hack your email? Could you give me your password and username? I've already got a pen

    There no reason I can think of to have voting machines hooked to the internet. They should stand alone with no internet access until they are gathered up and taken to a secure place for removing the data storage gizmo.
    We still have problems upstream with illegal voting, but this is a start.

    We’re obviously talking about hacking voter machines. That could be easily done by any election official with a little added knowledge. It amazes me that in a state where there were proven fake electors (crooked election officials) this isn’t concerning to even the left. I’ll ask you the same question I posed earlier…

    Should it even be capable of altering votes at all? Should there even be a pathway for this?

    In my reasoning it’s very much so capable of being hacked and changing votes. It was proven to happen within seconds. All that was needed was a pen and knowledge of the system. If that’s not concerning then by all means allow these machines to be operational. Just further proof that people truly don’t care about democracy and want that avenue for corruption

    Were any of the machines tampered with and altered votes? Do you have proof that this occurred?

    What is made up are the claims that this happened during any of our elections. Again, it's real simple to hack into a system where the Judge orders the makers of said system to give you all the security codes and tools to do so. LOL

    I wonder if I can gain access to rightists bank accounts if they give me under court order their pin numbers and bank cards?

    That’s not the topic is it??? I’m talking about the viability of this voting machine being it has now been proven to be hackable and capable of changing votes. I for one would not want this machine in my state knowing this.

    Except this wasn't proven to happen. Knowledge of the system is irrelevant when you have the ****ing security codes under court order. LMAO
