“No evidence of widespread voter fraud.” That’s what the officials and judges say, right?
You only need access to the voting machines via the Internet of Things. They don’t have to be yours or even operated by you. As long as they are connected to the internet, the vulnerability exists, and the knowledgable hackers in place, voting can be manipulated.
That the DOJ won’t investigate nor SCOTUS take it up shows how deep the rot goes.
Smart devices connect via infrastructure mode to a router which can also host more interesting things, like computers and phones. This is how wifi normally works and has pretty good security. But if they are enabled to operate in Access Point mode as well, which is done to simplify setup, there is the vulnerability, but it only allows hackers to try to access other devices on that LAN. So hacking your neighbors doorbell might let someone get into his computer but it won’t compromise yours.
There have even been reports of air gap hacks where one computer can emit sounds that another computer can “hear” and that the hack can occur via the broadcast.
