I Bought a Voting Machine Online…Then Hacked It (Symantec)

This is a 2-year-old educational video from Symantec that I found on YouTube 12/6/2020. It shows how easy it would be to hack a voting machine. The media and Dems keep saying vote stealing couldn't happen. Well this video from Symantec, the long-time cyber security leader, shows it can.

This is Symantec's own statement about the video:

"To demonstrate how vulnerable some of our digital election infrastructure really is, we bought two voting machines from an online auction site for less than $200. They were last used in State and Federal elections in 2012 and 2013. What vulnerabilities will we find?

"Elections are under assault across the globe, as we continually see in the news. Well-resourced malicious cyber actors have tampered with our elections, whether it’s hacking voting machines or waging information warfare through social media."

Hard proof from a major source like Symantec that voting machines are not secure.

I heard yesterday that the Dominion machines were programmed to tabulate .80 votes for a candidate accused of pedophilia, .70 votes for corruption, .60 votes sexual harassment, and .50 votes for bribery of foreign officals. Unfortunately the thumb drive used to upload this algorism was not updated for election 2020. //sarcasm off//

You know what? If you search on Internet, there were many articles on Dominion voting machines, all of which points out their glaring security problems. Who reported them?

All liberals. They were so worried about Russia will interfere 2020 elections.(LOL) Yet Georgia Gov and SoS flatly refused to heed. Now liberals went silent because it is their side which committed fraud. Gov and SoS are stonewalling again. Should we praise them for being consistent?

I can’t wait to see what kind of “Fake Check disclaimer” Fraudbook slaps on the post I just put this in.

Much to their elation, they found out they could use them, too.

A “very” simple fix is to require any voting machine to “open source” all operating software and hardware and post the software and electronics diagrams online. Require the use of ONLY such machines in elections. No touchscreens...paper ballot readers only, with internal storage of all read ballots in locked compartments with the only keys at election ballot counting locations.

This whole mess is absurd.

You know how to fix it. I know how to fix it. Every single person knows how to fix it. There are a dozen ways from Sunday to fix it, and more. All are both commonsense and Constitutional.

Yet nobody WILL fix it.

If there ever existed to ME, proof of a Deep State, this has to be it.

[9YearLurker]

A uniparty Deep State, I might add.

Right. It isn’t just the Democrats, but I will say this: Dan Bongino is fond of saying that the Republicans are not always the fix to our problems, but the Democrat Party is almost certainly the cause of most of them.

In this, I don’t care why the Republicans are silent as lambs on this. I don’t care if they are complicit. I don’t care if they are compromised. In both cases they are aware of it and do nothing.

Hi, you’re welcome. I’m glad that this info might help others.

"You know how to fix it. I know how to fix it. Every single person knows how to fix it. There are a dozen ways from Sunday to fix it, and more. All are both commonsense and Constitutional. Yet nobody WILL fix it."

"If" nobody fixes it, we will know that it is time to use the "cartridge box", as all "ballot box" possibilities will have been exhausted.

I remain hopeful. I have tried to avoid being cynical, but boy, has this broken down some of those barriers. I hate it. It goes against my principles to be cynical, and I don't like seeing it in others, because I view it as corrosive, contagious, and destructive.

There is a lot of bickering and infighting here, but in my opinion, we have to accept that because it aligns with being conservative. We don't want to censor people and tell them to shut up, even if that is precisely what I sometimes feel like doing.

But that is what we are all about here. People are still allowed, here, to largely speak their mind. And that is good.

Can this be turned? I think it can.

Honestly, most of us don't have a lot of options. Some aren't suited to action, most of us aren't situated to take action, and even if it means taking to the street, that isn't generally in our skill set, as conservatives. We don't subscribe to the hive mind set the way the Left does, and that is a disadvantage to us in some ways, but we value the individual more than the collective.

We will have to find a way to make things work.

In this case, what it takes is a person of substance to make a stand, drive a stake into the ground, and do the right thing.

I think we still do have those people in our country. As proof, look at all the people who stood up to be counted, gave depositions, and exposed themselves to the hate of the Left, but did it anyway because they felt it had to be done.

Yes...we can still do it, but we need help from above. I have this flag flying outside my home now:

The Freeper Texan had a great thread, and made the point that the flag was prominent in this country at a time when things looked pretty grim, facing off against the world's mightiest superpower, and barely a pot to piss in so to speak.

So, after reading Texan's post, I got my flag and fly it, I make an appeal to heaven each night, and keep my powder dry when I am called on, so that I hope I can do my job if I have to act an ANY capacity to preserve our Republic.

Because our Republic is worth it.

Good idea. I will do that tonight. It is something.
