Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to “undermine election security.”
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was recently provided an unredacted copy of the report, which was prepared by J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.
The report discusses “potential vulnerabilities in Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices,” or electronic voting devices, according to the government.
While CISA supports public disclosure of any vulnerabilities and associated mitigation measures with election equipment, allowing the release of the report at this point “increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security,” government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.
The case was brought in 2017 by good-government groups and voters who say the lack of paper ballots undermines the voting process.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama nominee overseeing the case, was urged by CISA to reject attempts to release a redacted version of Halderman’s report for now.
CISA officials want to review the information in the report and help Dominion resolve the vulnerabilities identified before the report is released. They said they weren’t able to provide a date by which they’ll be finished.
Totenberg must weigh the request against the wishes of Georgia Secretary State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican and one of the defendants, who called in late January for the release to happen immediately.
John Poulos, Dominion’s CEO and president, said in a statement released by Raffensperger’s office that Halderman’s review lacked “a holistic approach,” adding that Dominion “supports all efforts to bring real facts and evidence forward to defend the integrity of our machines and the credibility of Georgia’s elections.”
Plaintiffs, including the Coalition for Good Governance, also support the release of the report, David Cross, one of their lawyers, confirmed to The Epoch Times.
The plaintiffs said in a filing before a copy was sent to CISA that the agency should get a copy and begin its evaluation process, but that the evaluation “should not unreasonably delay the public disclosure of the report, which must be promptly disclosed to Georgia state and county election officials, and filed on the public docket, so that public officials can secure the upcoming May primary elections.”
They asked Totenberg to order them to file a redacted version of the report on the docket, which would make it accessible to the public, no later than March 4.
Solution.....Ban the use of Dominion Voting Systems.
Looks like this is a duplicate post. Sorry
J Alex Halderman... involved in the Jill Stein Wisconsin recount ...
Ummm…..excuse me? What was that last one again?
Nothing to hide, nothing at all..... /s
Indeed. I remember voting in 2020. I did the electronic card creation vote thing as the first step, then it got inserted into a printer and a scan ballot was fed to the “counting machine.” Meanwhile the clerk twinkie said something like “watch the little counter, it shows your vote was counted.”
I asked her, “where’s my copy, where does it show how I voted?” She pointed to the roll of “I voted” stickers in her hand and held out one and said, “this is your receipt.” I blew up and looked at her like some sort of idiot. The poll supervisor said, “the little counter on the scan machine shows your vote was counted.” I finally had to get the number of the county supervisor and called her and explained it to her. She was not interested at all. She said, “that’s the way it is.” And then she hung up. She had to resign from her 20 year job a few months later because people in the county were forcing her into a “justify why you have your job” situation.
Raffensperger is responsible for Georgia’s Dominion voting system. Raffensperger is a corrupt, opportunistic no-good, IMO. I’m voting against him and Kemp this May in their primaries. It’s no wonder that Biden wants that report, Dominion’s internet-connected, software controllable meddling and lack of any real and tangible proof-of-vote evidence to come out in the open. He wants to use it in 2024 again.
Yep....I hated voting with the machines also. no receipt no nothing....and I even looked on line to see how we can verify our vote and ran into similar problems....they have no idea!
If they have them this time when I vote, I’m gonna take out my phone and snap a picture of that piece of paper that disappears into their ‘voting machine.’ I’m gonna do it before I give it to them to insert and not gonna listen to any of their protests.
Does anyone not believe that Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and North Korean hackers will not be looking at hacking our voting systems? If that is a given, then we need to safeguard those systems and releasing the document or not isn’t the issue. The issue is that the voting system can be hacked and it needs to be fixed quickly so that legitimate primaries and a fall election can be held.
Well that would be a partial solution....it will show how you voted. The problem is there’s no way to know if our votes are rightly counted.
There’s a reason Deep State keeps cramming those RCV-related provisions in huge, unrelated bills.
Because even if every voter is a legal voter, with RCV and/or RCV-enabled voting machines, Deep State can still steal elections.
That’s true. But it will show me just how invested they are in protecting this farce by what their reaction will be when I do that.
Hi.
I wonder if Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shay of Fulton county GA, were interviewed for this report?

Security by ignorance. Yeah, that always works well.
Judge Amy Totenburg — sister of Nina @ NPR. Sure. We’re going to see that report made public. /sarc
Totenberg.
Well, then! Let's simply eliminate all the Dominion Voting machines. Then the knowledge of how they have been or otherwise could be hacked will be entirely of no use to all the Left's Ruby Freemans!
