Nation’s Top Hackers at DEF CON Conference Once Again Easily Breach U.S. Voting Machines — Yet Republicans Continue to Ignore This Crisis Year After Year

Where did this come from? Since when did the far-left legacy media start reporting on election fraud?

Politico on Tuesday broke the news that “the nation’s best hackers” were able to break into voting machines.

Over the weekend, some of the world’s top hackers convened in Las Vegas for the annual DEF CON conference, specifically at the Voting Village event, to probe and expose vulnerabilities in voting machines set to be used in the upcoming November election.

From Friday through Sunday, hackers at Voting Village tested various voting machines and related equipment, attempting to bypass security measures.

Meanwhile, election officials discussed misinformation and disinformation threats. The findings from this year’s event will be detailed in a forthcoming report by the organizers.

Harri Hursti, co-founder of Voting Village, noted that the list of vulnerabilities found was extensive but consistent with previous years.

“There’s so much basic stuff that should be happening and is not happening, so yes I’m worried about things not being fixed, but they haven’t been fixed for a long time, and I’m also angry about it,” Hursti told Politico.

Scott Algeier, executive director of the Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IT-ISAC), emphasized that fixing vulnerabilities is not a quick process: “Even if you find a vulnerability next week in a piece of modern equipment that’s deployed in the field, there’s a challenge in getting the patch and getting the fix out to the state and local elections officials and onto the equipment before the November election.”

The Biden/Harris regime want illegals pouring over the
border bringing crime and chaos to American communities.

This is their prime election strategy.

Can’t our side hack for an honest result nullifying the dim hack?

That's what I've been screaming about.

Iranian hackers will do this in the key states. We will all wonder how Harris won so convincingly.

Another reason to ditch voting machine and go with paper ballots.

I am going to start rating gloom and doom posts on the pearl clutching scale.

Five pearls = Suicide watch for poster
Four pearls = Anti-depressant medication needed—consult doctor
Three pearls = A tranquilizer should solve it.
Two pearls = No meds required. A short walk with a dog should fix it.
One pearl = Could be constructive criticism or could be depression. Too early to tell.

You win two pearls.

If you don’t have a dog—get one stat!

All jokes aside, isn’t this obvious to all that Iran would try this if they could?

Most people paying attention saw it real time in 2020. I have a feeling the DNC will succeed again with stop and steal 2.0 in the same states.

When I asked Chuck Grassley about the 2020 election, he said the last election was the fairest he’s seen?!? Any disagreement with him was partisan rancor and conspiracy theory.

Gotta hand it to those 33rd level Masons. They know who their master is!

“Republicans” are the Red Squad of the Uniparty. How could they guarantee a win for the Blue Squad if they fixed stuff like this?

With the computerized voting frauds fiasco, Dems allowing illegals voting, attempted murder of Trump and the Wrath of God, it seems Trump doesn’t stand a chance of winning the election.

It is similar the old Ali “rope-a-dope”” strategy...

Now that the communists have 15-to-20 million MIVs (Migrant-Invader Vermin) ready to vote, they no longer have to rely on the 2020 election-fraud tactics...

There are secured computing standards but NONE of the voting machines companies use them. Until then, hacking is 100% guaranteed and easy to do. Childsplay.

Just because at one stage votes were tallied by comparison doesn’t mean the final machine report is accurate.

President Trump’s life was not saved by a miracle so he could lose the election.

Think about it.

(May the best hacker win. :-) )
