    Dominion Voting Systems employees have acknowledged serious problems with the company's technology, saying, for example, that a bug led to "INCORRECT results," according to discovery cited in the defense brief in Dominion's defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

    Dominion is suing Fox News for $1.6 billion for defamation after becoming a target of alleged conspiracy theories regarding its voting machines being hacked and flipping election results.

    In a legal brief made public Thursday, the news outlet cited information obtained from Dominion through discovery.

    In a 2018 email Fox News obtained from Dominion Director of Product Strategy and Security Eric Coomer, he acknowledged the company's technology was marred by a "*critical* bug leading to INCORRECT results."

    "It does not get much worse than that," he later added.

    In 2019, Coomer lamented that "our products suck," adding that "'[a]lmost all' of Dominion's technological failings were 'due to our complete f--- up in installation,'" according to the defense brief.…

    It seems that Dominion has real problems with its products after all. There is no correlation between what Dominion seeks and the value of any potential Dominion business revenues. Fox has a good defense against this SLAP lawsuit.

    This is good news for future voting integrity. I’m glad my home county is getting rid of Dominion for future elections.

    Incorrect results can go either way. Fox's alleged defamation involved allegations that those were intentional and only went one way.

    Such an odd claim, as every audit confirmed the voting results.

    What is the odd claim? These are simply the releases from discovery from Fox regarding what Dominion employees said.

    The hurdle a libel, slander, defamation suit against a news media source is quite high. The information Fox revealed here should be enough to make that leap impossible to make.

    Well, they are claims. One can claim anything, it does not mean it is factual. Secondly, one can omit all relevant information and only post the parts that are most beneficial to them.

    Have no idea. I don't watch fox so don't know the verbatim specifics of what they did or did not say. I just know the allegations suggest that their commentary may have crossed the line. As I have posted before, the specific language used can make or break these cases. If you give on-air talking heads enough latitude in winging it on the fly, they probably weren't choosing their words as carefully.

    So you think the Fox legal team lied about what the Dominion people said under oath?

    That's for the jury to decide. Will you accept their findings, or go off on a rant about them all being "liberal"?

    You mean that you want to believe the Dominion lawyers claims about discovery and not the Fox lawyers. Got it.

    Stunning ‘Halderman Report’ Reveals ‘Critical Vulnerabilities’ in Dominion Machines.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...-georgia-waits-update-voting-softwa-rcna89566

    'Halderman was was given access to the voting machines by the federal judge in the case, and he argues in his report that the state’s ballot-marking devices are vulnerable to election fraud, including vote switching.'

    'The warnings are stark, suggesting that Georgia’s voting machines could be manipulated by bad actors in mere minutes. Halderman argued that attackers could alter the QR codes on printed ballots, and install malware on individual voting machines “with only brief physical access.” They could attack the broader voting system if they have the same access as certain county-level election officials, his report said.'

    '“My technical findings leave Georgia voters with greatly diminished grounds to be confident that the votes they cast on [the current Dominion ballot-marking devices] are secured, that their votes will be counted correctly, or that any future elections using Georgia’s [ballot-marking devices] will be reasonably secure from attack and produce correct results,” he wrote.'

    So why did Fox settle for a billion dollars if the evidence was in front of them?

    I live in Shasta county in California. We have terminated our contract with Dominion and are developing a system that returns us to hand counting of all ballots.

    Totally...:bored:
    There is no evidence that hackers have attempted to exploit any of the identified vulnerabilities, or that any such hack has occurred in previous elections
    It (The Halderman Report) identified risks that are theoretical and imaginary. Our security measures are real and mitigate all of them," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger wrote in a letter to state lawmakers, which Raffensperger's office shared with NBC News.
    He continued: "Is it possible for a team of bad actors to break into Georgia’s 2,700 voting precincts, install malware that changes election outcomes on 35,000 pieces of equipment, and sneak back out — all the while being undetected and leaving no trace? I’ll put it this way: It’s more likely that I could win the lottery without buying a ticket."
    __________

    Conclusion: Georgia voters should have full confidence in the results of the 2024 Election...
    End of story...:flagus:
