Quite impossible to do as described, for all of the reasons that you mentioned. The "Whistle blower" is a fraud and a con artist.
Your scenario is a graceful ballet of many, operating at their peak, with no problems.
I have never actually seen a large software project go that well. I expect the scenario I described is extremely unlikely to have gotten past "blue sky" discussions. However, "Technical feasibility" would not be a reason for abandoning the idea.
Traditional vote fraud by "finding" trunk loads of ballots in a car is the way to bet on a risk assessment. Cheaper, more reliable, and does not required as much technical skill.
“Biden Using SCORECARD and THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012”
total nonsense ... THE HAMMER is eleven year old technology, which in dogs years is like the stone age ...
FORTUNATELY, my ditch-digging firm has recently developed THE SLEDGEHAMMER, which is way more powerful than the ancient THE HAMMER, and is far more capable of stealing MORE votes, and stealing them FASTER, CHEAPER,and with more stealth than THE HAMMER ...
i’ve turned THE SLEDGEHAMMER over to the trump campaign exclusively, and am charging them only a nominal royalty per vote stolen because i’ve been so successful at ditch-digging that i don’t really need the extra money ... just knowing that i’ve made a difference is reward enough ...
Why the hell are these things known before an election but never fixed after an election? Makes me crazy
There might be nothing to "fix". Or at least, not what is being presented as the problem.
The entire "whistle blower" report may be disinformation to send people off on searches to nowhere. Let them waste their time looking for imaginary computer applications.
Bribing or suborning election clerks is a cost-effective and time-tested method for defrauding an election. It does not sound as cool as "hacking national computer systems". It does not inspire as much fear of an unknown attacker. There are effective means to deal with the problem. The attackers do not want the defenders to realize that.
It does not matter how hard the defenders look if they are looking in the wrong direction.
They must have sold him on the idea that it would be used to keep potential dictators from getting elected or something along those lines.
Ron Paul drew big crowds too. Crowds don’t mean squat. Hillary Clinton drew no crowds and still managed to get nearly 66 million votes.
Mitt Romney was a lousy candidate that failed to energize the Republican base. He lost fair and square. 2012 wasn’t stolen.
Didnt they do all kinds of testing(to ensure election security) before the 2012 and 2016 elections? They said it was checking the security of the systems. Didnt some states opt out and the feds got pissed? How hard would it be to set the computers up to cheat at this time? The feds were pissed cause they couldnt install their cheating procedures into those computers.
Someone needs to go back and research this. I will bet you a box of donuts that i am more right than wrong
IDK, because I am atechnical. Just an end user.
BUT: Wikipedia is compromised.
I get that you know this stuff. However, Montgomery has been a target for years and he is revered on the right side of the political spectrum, as near as I can tell from encountering this information from a political perspective over the years.
The Hammer exists. It is what one of the prog critters was speaking about when she referenced zer0’s big database that was going to give them complete control.
...I always thought it was stolen...

Perhaps even a supercomputer couldn’t have overcome Hillary’s unpopularity.
Count me in with the two of you.
Ms. Powell is no intellectual pushover and anyone who has read any of her publications knows she is a capable investigator/analyst. More recently she has been working with some well informed national security types.
The General, working on our behalf, has collected quite a few enemies around the world over the years and has been the subject of more than one smear program.
Whenever anyone tells me a man-made structure or system cannot be penetrated I get very interested.
Well, I’m a tech dummy, but what I don’t understand is how even NSA White Hats could foil an electronic, but non-connected, system remotely.
The original rumor, IIRC, involved satellites.
bttt
I guess your argument depends on whether they actually wrote the software too. Then they wouldn’t need to figure it out.
Consider, though, that you’d need to turn a few states. Each state would have a different configuration of servers and different software.
Not terribly feasible to accomplish... especially untested.
Not quite accurate. The database Mad Maxine was talking about was the NSA universal citizen data collection database. "Hammer" is a penetration tool (and one that is likely quite obsolete by now). Different animals entirely.
I suspect they don’t need to break into these things or do something to figure it out.
I suspect they already know how because they (or some of their friends) WROTE the code.
I think we should go back to the manual machines- where you click the levers and it records your vote when you open the curtain.
I’m under the impression that it was used, in some locales but that the Trump vote overwhelmed it.
I also wonder if something similar was used against Dr. Shiva in his Massachusetts primary. He was given fractional votes and paper ballots were destroyed.
Thank You!!
WELCOME TO KILLING TIME.
