October 8:
ATLANTA — With the start of early voting less than a week away and a software update being installed to address a glitch in Georgia’s voting machines, a federal judge was still considering a request by voting integrity activists to sideline the new touchscreen voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots for the November general election.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg is presiding over a long-running lawsuit challenging the election system the state bought last year from Dominion Voting Systems for more than $100 million. The activists argue the system places an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote because voters cannot be confident their votes are accurately counted. A bug in the touchscreen machines and a hasty software update underscore that the machines aren’t ready for use, they say.

a broad consensus now exists among the nation’s cybersecurity experts recognizing the capacity for the unobserved injection of malware into computer systems to circumvent and access key codes and hash values to generate fraudulent codes and data. In these experts’ views, these risk issues are in play in the operation of Dominion’s Democracy Suite 5.5-A
Plaintiffs assert instead that the State is undertaking substantial changes to the election equipment two weeks before early voting begins without adequate testing that further jeopardizes the reliability and security of the Dominion voting machines.

Georgia, just weeks prior to the election, allowed their voting machines to be patched with Dominion software using a barcode-based system that does not allow any verification of their choices and requires users to “just trust” that their choice was made correctly when they vote. After inspection by a cybersecurity expert (Mr. Vincent Liu), it turns out that the barcodes are easily accessible to hackers and can be infected by malware, and totally unencrypted. In two of the counties, election servers allowed remote access through open ports via “game programs.” The organization responsible for testing these machines, the EAC, did not test this software to see if it was secure and did not have the expertise to do so. Server logs for these were also editable by Dominion staff, who could add and delete at will. TLDR; Georgia allowed a completely unsecured voting platform open to hacking to be used in this election, and put every voter at risk of manipulation by Dominion staff and threat actors. This same software was used across the USA.

In 2014, Dominion Voting committed to providing emerging and post-conflict democracies with access to voting technology through its philanthropic support to the DELIAN Project, as many emerging democracies suffer from post-electoral violence due to the delay in the publishing of election results.
Voting Machine Firms Add Lobbyists Amid Election Hacker Concerns

Pelosi’s ex-chief of staff represents No. 2 manufacturer
Voting machine manufacturers are increasing their Capitol Hill presence as lawmakers demand they do more to protect U.S. elections against foreign hackers.
Dominion Voting Systems — which commands more than a third of the voting-machine market without having Washington lobbyists — has hired its first, a high-powered firm that includes a longtime aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Georgia election official: Machine glitch caused by last-minute vendor upload - Voting was delayed in two counties for two hours while the problem was fixed. (Spaulding County)

Election officials estimate that roughly 80,000 absentee ballots were impacted by this glitch, yet decided to push the impacted votes through, knowing some of the votes would likely change.
Gwinnett County uses Dominion Voting Systems, the same election software that glitched for Georgia’s Spalding and Morgan Counties on Tuesday morning, causing machines to crash on Election Day.

Thanks for the informative post with lots of good links to the Georgia fraud. I started to post a detailed response, but at the house I only have an iPad and it deleted it when I clicked on another page for info. I took the rest of Sunday off from doing much posting.
I didn’t know Georgia in-person voting was done by touchscreen. They should be banned everywhere as they can be manipulated at the polling site if programmers are dishonest. I can see an algorithm programmed that switches a certain percentage of votes while keeping the total number of votes cast the same.
Beyond that, your post includes issues regarding the security of the Dominion software. It’s amazing that Dominion was allowed to go forward after this exposure of their vulnerabilities.
Regarding the mail-in and absentee ballots, if there is no verification of the sender before opening, once the envelope is separated from the ballot there is no way to determine legality. That bell cannot be un-rung. However, even though there is no way to determine authenticity, those fraudulently uploading votes unobserved Tuesday night/Wednesday morning may have overstepped if the additional ballots don’t match voter roll totals (eg. more votes than registered voters or even more than precinct population).
Ballots are also suspicious if they have only the presidential race checked. That appears to be the case if senate race totals are greatly less than the presidential votes.
If the fraudsters in Fulton, Chatham and other counties tried selecting registered voters who didn’t actually vote to match the number of fraudulent ballots, some sleuthing might determine if they went to that extent. I doubt they did given the time crunch.
But unlike the touch screen ballots, there are paper ones to be checked against machine totals. But investigators have to work quickly. A Detroit circuit judge said earlier today that claims of fraud are “only speculative” and gave the go-ahead for ballots to be destroyed. Unbelievable!!
Lazamataz has taken up the reins to look at the Dominion software scam. Over the years, sometimes he has been a satiric figure at FR, especially when pictures of young women are posted (”Laz will hit it!”) but his knowledge of computer software intricacies is way beyond that of the average person. I hope he can gain the attention of other cyber security experts to expose the Dominion fraud as it is. I expect you and others have seen this YouTube video (fraudsters programming Dominion software) that tells how they did it:

Finally, I hope that the GOP governor, legislature and SOS take this all seriously. Your two Senate seats are both up for a runoff on January 5, and if mail-in and absentee ballots are to be submitted by voters, and Dominion software used to tabulate results, the same fraud can occur again. The left, the media and the Soros types are spending big money to defeat the two Pub candidates and I would expect some of that is going to software experts to use their expertise to again rig the results. I sure hope both the local and national Pub teams are vigilant!
