State Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli and State Senator Wendy Rogers Announce Felony Cybersecurity Breaches of Arizona’s Electronic Voting Systems
Arizona Sun Times ^ | 3/24/24 | Rachel Alexander

Posted on 03/25/2024 3:12:32 AM PDT by CFW

State Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli (R-Lake Havasu) and State Senator Wendy Rogers (R-Flagstaff) held a press conference on Wednesday revealing that a cybersecurity expert discovered that voting machine software used in Maricopa County’s elections in 2020 and 2022 was compromised. Borrelli said “there is probable cause” of a crime, and Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell has been notified.

Borrelli said, “A few days ago I received documentation and a sworn declaration by a cybersecurity expert that examined the data from the 2020 and 2022 elections, where it has been determined that the data and the equipment had been altered. The Election Assistance Commission never approved this altered software. In Maricopa County’s previous representation that the election software is EAC certified, including to the Arizona Senate, [that was] false [testimony].”

He added that retired cyber experts from the NSA looked at the software and determined there was a breach. Borrelli clarified that he wasn’t accusing Maricopa County officials of being complicit, but pointed out it happened on their watch. He said the information is being turned over to law enforcement as a violation of A.R.S. 16-442, a felony.

Rogers spoke next. She said that while she represents rural counties, Maricopa County contains 65 percent of the state’s voters. “This is a situation where the legislature has an obligation to expose information if we happen upon it, so that the judicial branch and the executive branch are made aware that there’s a contract that’s coming up for renewal on the election machines in April,” she said. “This is something the public should know. And those who re-signed a contract should know.”

It is amazing how much work the democrats have put in to making sure no one looks too deeply into the 2020 and 2022 Arizona election results. And corporate media has no interest in the subject at all other than to repeat as if one, "No evidence of widespread corruption".

...And Lucy is holding the football, yet again.

All these “revelations” that never go anywhere are just a sad farce at this late-late-late stage in the game.

Stop and think about it, how would a cyber security firm come to this conclusion without having access to the actual machines that counted the votes with the software that was loaded on them for each election.

IOWs, the company would need unfettered access to the actual machines installed in 2020 and full access to their software, to undergo the type of tests needed to determine if an intrusion happened, then you would need the same thing for the machines installed in 2022, which are likely different machines running different versions of the code.

I could be wrong, but I’m not aware of any confiscation of voting machines in Arizona for the 2020 or 2022 elections.

Meanwhile, you have voter rolls in Arizona that are continually dirty with thousands of voters listed as eligible that are not and who should be removed. Those fraudulent voters are sent ballots, those ballots are gathered up by Democratic front groups, filled out and dropped into unguarded drop boxes with no way of knowing those votes are real or fraudulent.

But we were told you can not hack into these machines (over and over and over again - the big lie) so how could this be?

Federal Judge Conner refers to official federal investigations in the Jack Smith against Trump. So to me, unless a Federal Judge issues an opinion that the election was rigged or that the machines used to count votes have been proved to be subject to unauthorized access and manipulation, then all the investigations will just be leaves blowing in the wind.

Excellent observation. It benefits the cheaters to no end to maintain false names and indelible voting lists. Party operatives can collect the fraudulent ballots and cast votes with them. And no one will rule against this! In close elections, the party operatives only need to hold back enough ballots to swing the election.

“Kari Lake and Mark Finchem Add Cybersecurity Experts’ Testimony About Newly Discovered ‘Artificial Control’ over the Tabulation of Ballots Using Electronic Voting Machines to their SCOTUS Appeal”

Meanwhile, a lot of people obsess over the voting machines as being the main source of cheating, while basically ignoring all the obvious ways cheating is actually happening.

Think about it, if 2-4% of the votes are fraudulent in a close election, you could go to 100% hand counting of votes and the outcome would not change.

Agreed. I’m curious as to the progress made (or not) in cleaning up voter rolls in AZ.

I was struck by the same thing. How would these investigators get their hands on one or more closely guarded machines?

Information Security is an illusion. Even if the people making these voting machines were honest, they aren’t, the machines are in the hands of too many partisan people to ever possibly be considered secure.

As I understand it, these machines have USB ports. That alone tells me they are not serious about security. A USB port in a public place is the cyber equivalent of dropping your soap in a prison shower. Somebody gonna stick something in it.

I worked corporate IT. One of our security consultants told a story of how he used to steal a system admin credential on his way in to visit a new client. He used a USB drive. He just needed 2 minutes of standing near a machine on the network that was logged in. He’d sneak it in a USB port while idly chatting with a receptionist waiting to go in. Physical setups didn’t always permit access to a port, but his exploit tool he used to get passwords worked. He often could present a companies admin credentials in the first minutes of a meeting. He often won their business too.

There is a huge difference between a machine that could be hacked and a machine that was actually hacked.

We are talking about an election that happened nearly 4 years ago, without access to a number of the machines and the version of software that was installed in 2020, I don’t see who you could conduct a cyber examination to determine if they were hacked.

I wish Lake and Finchem my sincerest hopes that they succeed. Unless and until the courts take official notice that there was organized cheating by the Democrats, or admit that the machines are unreliable, Biden is headed for another easy win in November.

Here's a thought: Imagine an individual with a thumb drive used to update the software in a tabulator where it assigns a value of .9 for every Republican vote and a value of 1.1 for every Democrat vote.

After 200 votes are cast, 100 went to the Republican and 100 went to a Democrat. A tie

However, by the the altered value of the vote, the altered total shows 110 votes for the Democrat and 90 for the Republican.

Unless a manual recount of the ballots was held, nobody would realize that the totals were altered within the system.
