There are concerns about the security of electronic voting machines, as they can potentially be hacked without detection. While there is no evidence of this happening, it cannot be proven that it hasn't or won't happen in the future. Instances of machine errors have been reported, such as recording extra votes for a candidate or subtracting votes instead of adding them. It is unknown how many instances went unnoticed and what impact they had on elections. Legislation is being proposed to require a paper trail for every electronic machine, similar to ATM receipts, to ensure transparency and allow for verification. An investigation is also being requested to assess the effectiveness of voting machines and improve election systems.

"The use of some 19,000 electronic voting machines in the city of Chicago and Cook County primary on March 21 is now under intense scrutiny." "The US company that makes the machines, Sequoia, was bought in 2005 by Smartmatic, a private company primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen." "I think that American elections ought to be run by American companies and ought to be run by American citizens, not Venezuelan nationals." "We believe this is a national security issue. There is no way that companies belonging to non US corporations should have access to our elections." "In the case of, Smartmatic, there are a number of unanswered questions." "Certainly, our government should know."

At the Capitol, we witnessed the hacking of outdated election machines, which are used in many states. This raises concerns as only three companies control these machines, making them vulnerable to hacking. Researchers have discovered serious security flaws, including backdoors, in voting machines used by 43% of American voters. These companies refuse to answer questions about their cybersecurity practices, and the larger companies avoid answering any questions altogether. Additionally, five states lack a paper trail, making it impossible to verify the legitimacy of the voting machine results. This undermines the notion of cybersecurity in our elections.

A group of Venezuelan businessmen bought an American company that supplies electronic voting machines and counts votes, but the government has not reviewed the sale. Smartmatic, based in Boca Raton, provides voting machines in local US elections, but only has a few employees in Florida and is a labyrinth of international holding companies owned by Venezuelan businessmen. Electronic voting experts claim it's nearly impossible to verify if a proprietary system is tamper-proof. Voter watchdog groups and some in Congress are calling for a full review of the ownership of all electronic voting companies to determine if it poses a risk to US elections. The US Treasury Department would not confirm if a review was underway on Smartmatic. Watchdog groups question why US voting machines would be under the control of citizens of another country, especially one with a suspect election process. One congressman wrote to the Secretary of Treasury asking for a review of Smartmatic's ownership, which he says is offshore and murky.

The speaker states they are investigating dangerous and negative consequences with the "best of the best." They claim electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a long time and open to exploitation, allowing manipulation of vote results. This vulnerability purportedly reinforces the need for paper ballots nationwide, so voters can have faith in election integrity.

We demonstrated how easily election machines can be hacked, raising concerns about the limited number of companies controlling voting technology. 43% of American voters use machines with security flaws, and some states lack a paper trail to verify results. The lack of transparency in cybersecurity practices is alarming.

Voting machines in the U.S. are highly vulnerable to hacking, with researchers demonstrating that even those with limited skills can breach them quickly. Many machines are outdated, using unsupported software, and some states lack adequate paper trails for verification. Remote access software on machines increases risks, and several states have been hacked without detection. The use of cellular modems for transmitting results further exposes systems to cyber threats. Election management systems, often connected to the internet, can be compromised, allowing attackers to manipulate vote tallies. Despite assurances from vendors, the reality is that many machines can be hacked, raising serious concerns about election integrity in close contests. The lack of forensic evidence makes it difficult to confirm whether votes have been altered, leaving the electoral process at risk.

The transcript discusses concerns about election irregularities and voting machines. One speaker claims a voting machine subtracted votes, displaying a negative number. Another speaker states that such subtraction cannot occur accidentally and that someone consciously tried to steal votes. A third speaker says that when they press the button next to their name, another person's name appears on the display, questioning the accuracy of the vote count. Another speaker asserts that the machines are working correctly, recording votes accurately, and that the results will be accurate and reliable. One speaker expresses concern about private corporations controlling the voting system and calls for a formal debate about election irregularities, warning that the democracy and republic are at risk.

A Venezuelan-owned firm may take over a US voting machine company, sparking concerns about democracy. Smartmatic, owned by Venezuelans, controls Sequoia, a major voting machine manufacturer. Critics fear foreign influence on US elections. Congress and watchdog groups demand an investigation into the sale. The Treasury Department's lack of transparency raises suspicions. Concerns about national security and the integrity of American elections are at the forefront. The need for clarity and accountability is emphasized.

Voting machines in the United States are vulnerable to hacking and tampering, according to experts. These machines, including touchscreen and ballot recording machines, have been found to have serious security flaws that can be exploited by hackers. In some cases, electronic voting machines have deleted or switched votes. The use of remote access software on voting machines also poses a significant cybersecurity risk. Outdated software and unsupported systems further increase the vulnerability of these machines. Modems in voting machines, which are used to transmit results, can also be hacked. The lack of proper audit trails and forensic evidence makes it difficult to detect and prove hacking incidents. Overall, the current state of voting machine security in the US is a cause for concern and poses a threat to the integrity of elections.

A Georgia representative reported that a voter in Whitfield County experienced issues with a Dominion voting machine. The machine allegedly switched votes on the printed ballot, not reflecting the voter's selections for president, congress, or other races. The voter reported the issue to election workers and had to restart the process multiple times, with the same error occurring repeatedly. The representative also expressed concerns about states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan not fixing their election laws after 2020. Additional concerns include overseas voters receiving instructions via email on how to obtain and submit absentee ballots electronically, as well as the potential for illegal aliens to vote. The representative believes there is a good reason why people are skeptical and don't trust elections. They stated that everyone they talk to feels Donald Trump would win by a landslide if the election isn't stolen, citing betting markets, business sectors, and the prevalence of Trump signs in people's yards as indicators of his support.

Maggie Pesaro, a resident of Kingman, raises concerns about the use of electronic voting machines in elections. She shares a 53-minute video featuring Tori Morris, a credible contractor with expertise in gathering and analyzing foreign intelligence. Morris highlights her qualifications and provides detailed evidence that the machines have not been lawfully accredited since 2017. The hardware of the machines in Michigan, for example, has not been examined since then. Maggie urges viewers to watch the video before making any decisions regarding the use of electronic machines.

There are concerns about fraud with Dominion Voting Machines due to security vulnerabilities. In Georgia, people are fighting to remove them from elections. A computer scientist showed how easy it is to manipulate the machines in court. There are worries about internet connectivity and foreign access to the machines. Dominion is suing those who accused them of cheating in the 2020 election, but facing challenges in court. Emails suggest foreign nationals accessed US voting machines. Questions remain about the security and integrity of Dominion Voting Machines.

The transcript presents a broad, multi-voiced warning about the vulnerability of U.S. voting systems and the ease with which they can be hacked, hacked-stopping demonstrations, and the security gaps that remain even as elections continue. Key points and claims: - Virginia stopped using touch screen voting because it is “so vulnerable,” and multiple speakers argue that all voting machines must be examined to prevent hacking and attacks. Speaker 0, Speaker 1, and others emphasize systemic vulnerability across states. - Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are susceptible to tampering, with examples that even hackers with limited knowledge can breach machines in minutes (Speaker 2, Speaker 3). - In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas allegedly deleted votes for certain candidates or switched votes from one candidate to another (Speaker 4). - The largest voting machine vendors are accused of cybersecurity violations, including directing that remote access software be installed, which would make machines attractive to fraudsters and hackers (Speaker 5). - Across the country, voting machines are described as easily hackable, with contention that three companies control many systems and that individual machines pose significant risk (Speaker 2, Speaker 6). - Many states use antiquated machines vulnerable to hacking, with demonstrations showing how easily workers could hack electronic voting machines (Speakers 7, 2). - A substantial portion of American voters use machines researchers say have serious security flaws, including backdoors (Speaker 5). Some states reportedly have no paper trail or only partial paper records (Speaker 5, various). - Aging systems are noted as failing due to use of unsupported software such as Windows XP/2000, increasing vulnerability to cyber attacks (Speaker 9). An observed concern is that 40 states use machines at least a decade old (Speaker 9). - Specific past intrusions are cited: Illinois and Arizona in 2016 had election websites hacked, with malware installed and sensitive voter information downloaded (Speaker 4). - There is debate about whether votes were changed in the 2016 election; one speaker notes that experts say you cannot claim—without forensic analysis—that votes were not changed (Speaker 17, 18). - The existence of paper records is contested: some jurisdictions lack verifiable paper trails, undermining the ability to prove results are legitimate (Speaker 5, 9). - Some devices rely on cellular modems to transmit results after elections, creating additional avenues for interception and manipulation; vendors acknowledge modems but vary in how they frame Internet connectivity (Speakers 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21). The debate covers whether cellular transmissions truly isolate from the Internet or provide a backdoor, with demonstrations showing that modems can be connected to Internet networks and could be exploited. - The “programming” phase of elections—where memory cards are prepared with candidates and contests—can be a vector for spread of rogue software if an attacker compromises the election management system (Speaker 11, Speaker 10). - A scenario is outlined in which an attacker identifies weak swing states, probes them, hacks the election management system or outside vendors, spreads malicious code to machines, and alters a portion of votes; the assumption is that many jurisdictions will not rigorously use paper records to verify computer results (Speaker 10). - A Virginia governor’s anecdote is shared: after a hack demonstrated off-site by experts, all machines were decertified and replaced with paper ballots (Speaker 16). Overall impression: the discussion paints a picture of pervasive vulnerability, aging and diverse systems, reliance on modems and networked components, potential for targeted manipulation in close elections, and the need for upgrades and robust forensic capabilities, while noting contested claims about the extent of past interference.

The video discusses concerns about the potential manipulation of votes in election software. It questions whether proper validation processes were followed, such as having observers from both parties present during the transmission of SD cards and the transportation of ballots. The speaker also mentions the use of election night reporting data and emphasizes that there is no human entry of totals, which eliminates the possibility of human error.

Cybersecurity experts agree that electronic voting machines are dangerous and obsolete. These machines can be easily hacked, as demonstrated by a computer scientist who has hacked multiple machines and even turned one into a video game console. The vulnerability of these machines puts our election infrastructure at risk of sabotage and cyberattacks. In the 2016 election, millions of Americans voted on paperless electronic machines. The speaker reveals a step-by-step process for hacking these machines and stealing votes. The solution proposed is to use paper ballots, which can be quickly scanned and verified by humans. It is emphasized that all elections should be run with paper ballots and audits. The importance of having a paper backup system is highlighted. The concise transcript emphasizes the need to replace electronic voting machines with paper ballots for secure and reliable elections.

Voting machines in the US are vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, according to researchers. These machines, which come in various models, have been found to have security vulnerabilities that allow attackers to inject malicious software and change election data. The machines can be hacked through the machine used to program them, and many of them have wireless modems that can connect to the internet, despite claims that they are not connected. The vulnerabilities in the voting machines, along with the lack of secure systems for voter registration and result reporting, pose a significant risk to the integrity of elections. It is crucial to address these vulnerabilities to ensure the trustworthiness of election results.

A firm owned by Venezuela could be allowed to take over one of the country's top voting machine firms. The US company that makes the machine, Sequoia, was bought in 2005 by Smartmatic, a private company primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen. When Chicago had problems with the machines, a dozen Venezuelan employees were there to help with the election. Smartmatic is technically based in Boca Raton, Florida, but the majority of the workers are based in Venezuela. Watchdog groups question why US voting machines would be under the control of citizens of another country, especially a country whose own election process is highly suspect, calling it a national security issue. Some in congress are demanding an investigation into Smartmatic's ownership, which is offshore and murky. The Treasury Department is supposed to monitor sales of US companies to overseas investors where there is a question of national security, but can't confirm if the sale of Sequoia in 2005 had been reviewed or not.

The speaker states that the best investigators are pursuing election integrity. They claim there is evidence that electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a long time and can be exploited to manipulate vote results. This vulnerability allegedly drives the mandate to implement paper ballots across the country, so voters can have faith in election integrity.

New evidence shows Venezuelan businessmen bought a US voting machine company critical to elections without government review. Smartmatic, owned by Venezuelan businessmen, supplies voting machines in the US. Concerns arise about the ownership of Smartmatic and its ties to Venezuela. Questions about election integrity and potential fraud during the 2020 elections are raised. Calls for a full review of Smartmatic's ownership and transparency in elections technology. The chairman of Smartmatic is Lord Mark Malloch Brown, a British diplomat with ties to George Soros. Allegations of irregularities in elections and the need for accountability are highlighted.

The speaker discusses the potential vulnerabilities of electronic voting machines. They mention instances where machines recorded extra votes for a candidate or subtracted votes instead of adding them. These issues were caught and corrected, but it raises concerns about undetected instances and their impact on elections. The speaker emphasizes the need for a paper trail to ensure transparency and accountability. They mention legislation proposed by Rush Holt and Hillary Clinton that calls for electronic machines to provide a printed receipt for voters to verify their choices. They also highlight a case where 4,500 votes were lost due to a machine malfunction. The speaker requests an investigation by the Government Accountability Office to assess the effectiveness of voting machines.

Voting machines in the US are vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, according to security researchers. These machines, which come in various models, have been found to have security vulnerabilities that allow attackers to inject malicious software and change election data. The most efficient way to hack the machines is through the machine used to program them, as it can pass rogue software to the voting machines. Contrary to popular belief, many voting machines are connected to the internet, either through wireless modems or other means, making them susceptible to cyber attacks. The lack of proper security measures and outdated systems make it only a matter of time before election results are compromised.

Venezuela-owned firm, Smartmatic, which owns US voting machine company Sequoia, is under scrutiny for potentially compromising American elections. During the Chicago primary, Venezuelan employees were present to assist with the machines, causing outrage among officials who believe American elections should be run by American companies and citizens. Watchdog groups and some members of Congress are demanding an investigation into the ownership of Smartmatic, as its offshore ownership is unclear. The Treasury Department, responsible for monitoring sales of US companies to foreign investors, cannot confirm if the sale of Sequoia in 2005 was reviewed. Critics argue that allowing a non-US corporation access to US elections poses a national security risk.

The speaker states that the "best of the best" are investigating election integrity. They claim there is evidence that electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers and exploitation, allowing for the manipulation of vote results. This allegedly supports the mandate to implement paper ballots nationwide, with the goal of restoring voters' faith in election integrity.
