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.

Electronic voting was pushed out for the purpose of cheating. Remember after the 2000 election when the democrats made a mockery out of the tried and trued systems. Then the Federal government pushed the states to change their voting systems. Things were changed to make cheating easier and less messy.

That's pretty funny. Probably looked something like this when you walked in:

And why? Because it works perfectly for them.

I can see the conversation:

ME: Georgia instituted the most comprehensive overhaul of voting technology in the country. And it still didn't help!

LEFTIST: It's not supposed to help you.

Dominion does the hacking, the DNC is the customer, stolen elections are the product for sale.
