You’re supporting the usurpation of the United States of America. You’re exactly that guy, yes. Everyone sees it except you retards.

Halderman report. “There is no realistic mechanism to fully secure vote casting and tabulation computer systems from cyber threats.” "Many of the attacks I successfully implemented could be effectuated by malicious actors with very limited time and access to the machines, as little as mere minutes. This report documents my findings and conclusions." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.240678/gov.uscourts.gand.240678.1681.0.pdf

"Attackers can alter the QR codes on printed ballots to modify voters’ selections."

"The software update that Georgia installed in October 2020 left Georgia’s BMDs in a state where anyone can install malware with only brief physical access to the machines. I show that this problem can potentially be exploited in the polling place even by non-technical voters."

"Without needing any secret information, I created a counterfeit technician card that can unlock any ICX in Georgia."

Everyone who has paid attention to the election fraud issue knows that these machines are wide-open to manipulation through obvious vulnerabilities and that they cannot produce reliable results. Dominion's own discovery documentation in the Fox/Dominion lawsuit said it as well.
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
Lulz. Halderman worries that the people trying to secure our elections in Georgia will now know how to exploit the machines simply by having access to similar machines. That would mean anyone with access to similar machines could exploit them. It also means it's GOOD that people are proving it, because the machines cannot and do not produce reliable election results.

This alone is absolutely damning, and we've been making this argument for 2.5 years. "Despite the addition of a paper trail, ICX malware can still change individual votes and most election outcomes without detection. Election results are determined from ballot QR codes, which malware can modify, yet voters cannot check that the QR codes match their intent, nor does the state compare them to the human-readable ballot text." That should be horrifying, but we're told the presence of "risk-limiting audits" (basically, fake audits) would detect exploitation.
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
Your elections are not secure. They haven't been in a very long time, if ever. (p6-7) "Although outcome-changing fraud conducted in this manner could be detected by a risk-limiting audit, Georgia requires a risk-limiting audit of only one contest every two years, so the vast majority of elections and contests have no such assurance. And even the most robust risk-limiting audit can only assess an election outcome; it cannot evaluate whether individual votes counted as intended."
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
Every sentence of this report should provoke only one reaction: The machines must be completely eliminated, immediately. Everyone in office knows this is how our elections are run. Every single one. "The ICX’s vulnerabilities also make it possible for an attacker to compromise the auditability of the ballots, by altering both the QR codes and the human readable text. Such cheating could not be detected by an RLA or a hand count, since all records of the voter’s intent would be wrong."
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
"This means that in a close contest, ICX malware could manipulate enough ballots to change the election outcome with low probability of detection. In contrast, risk-limiting audits of hand-marked paper ballots, when used with appropriate procedural precautions, provide high confidence that individual votes are counted as intended and election outcomes are correct even if the election technology is fully compromised.
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
"Using vulnerable ICX BMDs for all in-person voters, as Georgia does, greatly magnifies the security risks compared to jurisdictions that use hand-marked paper ballots"
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
Every word of this is absolutely damning. "Likewise, previous security testing efforts as part of federal and state certification processes appear not to have uncovered the critical problems I found. This suggests that either the ICX’s vulnerabilities run deep or that earlier testing was superficial." How could all of that Dominion testing and state-mandated testing by state-certified techs not uncover the problems? It's like they want the machines to be vulnerable! Oh, wait... 🤔
@imyourmoderator - Chris Paul
Can't we PLEASE just stop pretending? "My technical findings leave Georgia voters with greatly diminished grounds to be confident that the votes they cast on the ICX BMD are secured, that their votes will be counted correctly, or that any future elections conducted using…
