No big deal actually. The various national guards already liase and drill with the US Space Force and the various cyber commands.

This is good practice, and the national guard ranks contain a good number of seasoned cyber professionals who know what Splunk is...

But the machines aren’t connected to the internet, so they can’t be tampered with!

I may be off-base on this, but I distrust having the military assist in this.

The military has demonstrated they have people in place who are untrustworthy, starting at the SecDef and the JCS.

It pains me to say this. More than anyone can guess.

I’m not really comfortable with the current government “helping” with the midterm elections. They aren’t very transparent so it’s difficult to see what the Feddies are up to.

Under command of the CIC. What could go wrong

[Pollard]

Are they previously vetted by Nancy Pelosi when they were in DC?

[Safrguns]

I thought election systems were not supposed to be connected to the internet!

I smell a rat. I hope I am wrong.

Politically weaponized National Guard to Activate Cybersecurity Teams to Help the Demonicrats' efforts in rigging voting with Midterm Elections in 14 States

There. Fixed it.

[realcleanguy]

Wait, but Obama said there was no Cyber attack on any of our voting in 2016.

Well this is weird.

Components of the electronic voting system:

1. Must be password-protected (for voting system software);
2. May not be connected to the internet, any wireless communications device, or any external network (except for e-pollbooks);
3. May not be used to modem election results, whether through analog, cellular, or any similar transmission;
4. May not contain remote access software or any capability to remotely-access the system;
5. Must match the software or firmware hash code on file with the officer in charge of elections prior to programing the election and the hash code on file with either (1) the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); or (2) the Secretary of State at the time of certification of the electronic voting system; and
6. Must be observed by the officer in charge of elections or a designee if the election program (or any software or firmware) is updated or modified.

May not contain remote access software or any capability to remotely-access the system;

So if they don't have the capability for remote access, why do they need the NG there to prevent cyber intrusion???

Anyone else sick of being lied to about these systems?

The fix is in.

Pennsylvania

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-vulnerable-are-pennsylvanias-electronic-voting-machines/

But Republican elections commissioner Al Schmidt sees some issues with Pennsylvania’s voting procedures. He wrote a report on voting irregularities during the 2012 election. There have been dozens of cases but only 10 prosecutions.

Schmidt says even without a paper trail, the electronic machines are safe because they do keep a digital record of votes cast. And, he points out, the individual machines are not connected to the internet.

“Our voting system has more in common with household appliance than a laptop or anything like that,” Schmidt said.

That means the machines themselves are not vulnerable to a cyberattack:

the individual machines are not connected to the internet.

That means the machines themselves are not vulnerable to a cyberattack:

But now they suddenly need the NG to protect from cyber attack?

The 14 states with National Guard teams on duty on election day are North Carolina, Arizona, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, New York, Washington, and West Virginia.

Well if our leading candidates lose in those states, well I’m note going to say what would be on everyone’s mind about the NG showing up……….

[Libloather]

...National Guard teams on duty on election day...

Fraudsters can be shot? Can others join in and help out?

[Guenevere]

Bitt, what is your take on this?…Thanks
