The CEOs of the three largest U.S. voting equipment companies on Thursday supported more disclosure requirements, marking a major step for an industry that has come under close scrutiny in recent years due to election security concerns.
The leaders of Election Systems and Software (ES&S), Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart InterCivic testified before the House Administration Committee during a House hearing, marking the first time leaders from the three major voting equipment manufacturers testified together before Congress.
Committee Chairwoman Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) kicked off the hearing by asking whether the CEOs of these companies, which are estimated to control at least 80 percent of the market for voting equipment in the U.S., would support legislation mandating more disclosures.
Specifically, Lofgren asked if they would support requirements to disclose company cybersecurity practices, cyberattacks experienced by the companies, background checks done on employees, foreign investments in the companies, as well as information on the supply chain involved in building the voting equipment.
Tom Burt, the president and CEO of ES&S, which has the largest individual share of the voting equipment market, answered that he would support a requirement for all five of those requirements.

How about these?
1. “All voting shall be done on paper ballots. Machine counting can be used with the paper ballots retained for a period of 3 years”.
2. “It shall be a felony to connect any voting machine to any computer network, wired or wireless”.
And
3. “Memory devices used to record vote totals must always be within the control of a minimum of three people, including one representative from each major party and one law enforcement official, each wearing body cameras and all voting tabulation must be video and audio recorded”.
Violations punishable as high felonies with mandatory jail time.
Basically the equivalent of how we handle cash in ATM machines or banks, using procedures that make it virtually impossible to cheat.
That includes source-code audits and operational log audits, as well as background checks on all employees.
And don't forget audits of the data centers where the votes are counted.
There shall be NO electronic voting in any portion of elections for public office.
Federal $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ?
CEOs say “YES!”
There shall be no early voting. Voting by absentee ballot will be only by voters picking up ballots in person and delivering sealed ballot in person.
Soros and the dems have their hands in everyone of them. It is time to do away with these electronic machines.
We don’t want no stink’n, voting machines, period. It’s one of the biggest Soros’ scams going. If you’re too dumb to put an ‘X’ in the box next to the candidate of your choice, you should not be voting.
Why people want to vote early is beyond me when anything can change in the last weeks.
I'm more concerned about 'same day' and provisional voting.
If a candidate believes they're losing they can tweet an army of supporters to go to any polling place and tell them to vote again with fake ID if its' even required.
It would throw any election into question. Chaos would reign for week or months and no one could trust the results.
Imprison CEOs of voting electronic equipment.
They are Enemies of the People.
