Why stick a USB drive into a polling machine without effect? Perhaps it was password protected. I trust Lisa Posthumus Lyons. Very honorable family, extreme Pro-Life.
No effect.. Nope... Nadda...
Like they will tell the truth. Just like the machines those poll books need to be outlawed. A discovery was made in NY. It seems those poll books make it real easy for on the fly changes to the registry data base. Fake voters and votes can be added as needed.
“The incident had no impact on election results”
Are they sure about that.
There are viruses that upload upon insertion of a USB flash drive.
The DOD has a no portable media storage policy without express authorization and only with DOD devices that are monitored closely.
In fact, just try and plug a USB phone charger into a USB port on any DOD device and see how fast you get booted from the network, your device gets quarantined, and you get a visit from CID.
No one plus a USB device into any machine without something happening. Could be a Trojan horse waiting on an election date to take effect. Could be Spyware. Could be a lot of bad things.
this is why you don’t have electronic polling books, especially ones that can be dynamically updated.
the old way with hardcopy was best. he was probably trying (or succeeding) to boot a foreign os and download the data as a baseline for later voter identity theft, prospects for ballot stuffing, or even outright election vote stealing in the general. i’d like to know what the record structure is in that poll book and whether records/items were modifiable.
