Stunning ‘Halderman Report’ Reveals ‘Critical Vulnerabilities’ in Dominion Machines
The National Pulse ^ | June 18, 2023 | RAHEEM J. KASSAM

The 2021 Halderman Report, released this past week, lays bare a litany of “critical vulnerabilities” in Dominion Voting Systems’ machines, currently being used in a number of states, and in all voting locations in the U.S. state of Georgia.

Compiled by Prof. Alex Halderman and Prof. Drew Springall as part of the lawsuit Curling v. Raffensperger, the newly released though still partly redacted report explains how ballot scanners ad ballot marking devices (ICX), “can be exploited to subvert all of its security mechanisms” and that “ICX could be used to change the votes of individual Georgia voters.”

The seven principles findings establish that “attackers can alter the QR codes on printed ballots,” and that attackers “can install malware with only brief physical access to the machines.”

“An attacker with brief access to a single ICX or a single Poll Worker Card and PIN can obtain the county-wide [cryptographic] keys,” writes Halderman, warning that “[a] dishonest election worker… with just brief access to the scanner’s memory card could violate ballot secrecy and determine how individual voters voted.”

The security issues are so bad, the report says, that “merely patching these specific problems is unlikely to make the ICX substantially more secure… It is very likely that there are other, equally critical flaws… yet to be discovered.”

The 96-page report is extremely technically detailed, with Halderman showing how “ICX malware can still change individual votes and most election outcomes without detection.” Even the “auditability of the ballots” can be compromised, and “such cheating could not be detected by [a risk limiting audit] or a hand count.”

“My technical findings leave Georgia voters with greatly diminished grounds to be confident that the votes they cast on the ICX BMD are secured,” Halderman concludes.

By November 2020, 24 states used one or more components of the Dominion Democracy Suite voting system, and the ICX mentioned used in 16 states, with Georgia mandating the system as the primary method of voting.

The cheating in 2020 was massive.

This may affect some legal actions currently going around and I suspect several States using this system (With the possible exception of Blue States).

Lindell was talking about this report yesterday. Actions were taken to hid this report from the public. There are people out there who have unredacted copies. Mike said he would put it up if someone sent it to him. “I don’t Care” he said. Brave man.

The media has flogged the “no fraud” mantra into the consciousness of the populace so they have become desensitized to the issue or they just don’t care. It’s officially become a Trump ‘lie’ which makes it fiction, clearing the way to steal the next election with impunity.

I know this sounds bad, but its still unlikely the communists would mess with voting.

That’s democracy, man! They cherish and revere it. The mere thought of it being tampered with brings a tear to their eye.

Like that Indian chief when he sees a dirty diaper floating down the river.

As an election worker: ICX machines, otherwise known as “ADA machines” are ballot printers used by voters who require great assistance in voting (voice reading ballot, enlarged font, Braille, etc).

At my poll (which is one of the largest in the county) the ICX machine has NEVER been used.

We turn it on during set-up and turn it off at closing....counter = 0.

That's not what polling states.

Polling states that over 50% of the voting populace believes Voter Fraud negatively impacted the 2020 election.

This is absolutely nothing new. I work in IT, and when I read the Antrim County, MI forensic report done on the Dominion system in that county, I was horrified. Here is a summary I put together a few years back of what I read in that report:

Link to Dominion Democracy Suite Antrim County Forensic Analysis Report

Allied Security Operations Group, LLC was hired to do the forensic analysis on the Dominion voting systems in Antrim Michigan after a rare judge granted legal access to the voting systems which allowed the plaintiff who was concerned his vote had not been counted (who, for ONCE, was deemed to have "standing" in an election case.) They were able to get the machines frozen and were able to take exact copies of the software, and examine the hardware.

As an IT person, I found it astonishing. Some of the low-lights:

As an IT person, there is too much "apparent" ineptitude to be...ineptitude as the root cause.

Especially those security logs that are missing. That is a red flag for me.

I heard it said that the report was amateurish, debunked, sloppy...etc. etc. etc.

I would like someone to tell me how those findings can be “debunked” if they weren’t deliberate fraud, which is one thing I haven’t heard, that they were fraudulent.

Interesting. The link from scribd that had the copy of the report won’t open now.

Imagine that.

Here’s a clue, Sportsfans, Dominion does the hacking. Get RID of them everywhere!

it's been a long time but ..... 96 -2000 I was shown a casual demonstration of a 2 digit super user code for the machines lining the hall of our courthouse.... stored there in the open. I used to have a video of the surprised faces of the county It guy and the probate judge as I walked in on a little “fix” it moment.
I didn't really follow up on it ... but I did suddenly get a lot more cooperation from the county on FOIA requests ...
Fighting corruption in a water project....but

Following the 2000 presidential election, the state of Georgia instituted the most comprehensive overhaul of voting technology in the country.

And it still didn't help
