Cyber Security Expert Col. Phil Waldron: Dominion was Connected to Internet on Election Day and Communicating Overseas

Members of President Donald Trump’s legal team held a public hearing Monday with select members of Arizona’s legislature to gather and examine evidence of 2020 election irregularities and fraud in the state.

The point of the “fact-finding mission,” led by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, was to collect evidence for Arizona lawmakers that would justify holding a special session to investigate further.

Giuliani’s first witness at the was officer Retired Army Colonel Phil Waldron, a cybersecurity expert who spent half of his 30-year military career as a cavalry officer, conducting armed reconnaissance, and the last half of his career in information warfare.

Waldron stated that the common software in most of the automated systems operating in the United States today come from Smartmatic Voting Systems and are vulnerable to hackers or on-site manipulation.

Waldon said that his “white hat hackers” had witnessed Dominion communicating with overseas servers, directly contradicting fired Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Chris Krebs, who said the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history” and that “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”

He said his team used a reconnaissance tool to look at the Dominion voting network on Nov. 3., confirming that the it was connected to the internet, and that “there were plenty of vulnerabilities” allowing hackers to “penetrate the system.”

The diagram shows connectivity between all systems, including the tabulating machines.

Connectivity in the sense that data gets from the machines to the yes, but that's a file transfer, probably via USB stick.

Look at the Imagecast machines on the left. The diagram indicates they create a file which goes to humans and is then entered into the DemocracySuite system.

The machines on the right also produce output files which are then fed into the system.

I've read that in some remote precincts they may have the ability to batch transmit the files to the system via a private modem connection (probably over a public cell network), but that's the exception and still doesn't equate to the voting machines being on the internet.

In some places the central servers which aggregate and report on the voting data may be connected to an external network but if that data was manipulated it wouldn't match what was on the encrypted memory cards and would be discovered by the most rudimentary audit.

Moving the goalposts, once again...

Quite frankly it doesn’t matter. You have to assume that any platform you’re using is compromised unless you know where every chip or component came from. Any internal electronics that have any ties to China are considered vulnerable. Board and chip level penetration exists out of the box.
