@Maw that may be the case but the instruction manual does require a network connection and updates regularly. I’m not saying that a thumb drive couldn’t have been used because it obviously was since they lost 47 of them. But why would a federal agency utilize Pardison political action organizations associated with crazy leftists in outlining election security?

Sure, a *network* connection.

Because the machines need to communicate with a source to aggregate data.

This doesn't necessarily mean the internet.

Pretending that every organization that has taken a dollar from Soros or Koch makes them inherently evil is silly

All of the voting machine discussed on Defcon's are cpus.

In the manual it’s referred to as vendor access for software updates. Which I believe is what Georgia claimed was because of a glitch there.

Software updates are one possible vector of attack?

@Dedkraken pretending that having 6 to 8 of them intimately involved in establishment of election security protocols, is reasonable is silly.

So, if what you're saying is correct, it's likely that this is the sort of system they're looking at.

Nothing tells me for sure that they are using internet.

Why would the local server be connected to the internet

So what did they supposedly do that messed up election security protocols?

Or think it is

I mean the security on the machines themselves are terrible, and that's been shown numerous times over the course of multiple applications for certification in CA/TX.

LAN with no connection to WAN or Internet?

@LeslieW In my opinion, what many Trump supporters are experiencing is a form of extreme "confirmation bias". Everyone is so sure that fraud has occurred that they are actively working to prove it. Every unknown action is suspicious. Every election worker is a suspect. Every rumor is fact. And every allegation is evidence. And everyone glosses over that the conspiracy theory about hidden backdoors or easily hacked election equipment, if true, would mean that the 2016 was conducted with even more fraud susceptible systems then we have now...

Nonexistent

Practically in certain examples, yes.

The security was so fundamentally flawed that it was next to completely insecure.

No BIOS passwords open USB ports

That seems like a stretch 😅

It isn't.

Boot to any os

@busillis Software updates after hardware certification, conducted by a vendor with ties to the Clinton foundation and multiple Soros funded political action organizations It’s not only a possible “vector of attack”, but completely destroys the narrative that there were no security breaches possible. I can’t wait for this to get to Scotus. Dell order dominion to open its legs like a five dollar hooker and allow every computer expert at Sydney pals disposal to comb through that software system and all the data generated throughout the election on a national level. I don’t give a shit who wins this election. I voted for Tulsi Gabbard. But I do care about the integrity of our elections and you should too. This is completely unacceptable on every level. 

Low-grade disk encryption...crack in aws job cheap and easy

@LeslieW many have known about this for 5 -7 years

Ago

@busillis I apologize if I came out like a complete butt. But I am legitimately terrified of what is going to happen in the next month. I’ve got a two-year-old grandson in the state of California. This election will result in civil unrest On a scale that I’ve never experienced.

@LeslieW, you just advanced to level 3!

And people who really know computer security is a fantasy...

I read the reports from the TX evaluations of Dominion and they didn't even get to the point of looking at system security. They had a specific RFP/RFQ and evaluated Dominion against those requirements, which they did not meet.

All systems are compromised

Ca and TX have weird audit crap

All systems are compromised? 😂

I don't get this argument, there is a papertrail, who cares if the machines are compromised?

Garbage in garbage out

No trustedid you have garbage

Voice text Doesn’t recognize angry voice. Guess I’ll have to get my glasses out

"Weird audit crap"?
