There was more revealed in the courtroom WRT
vulnerabilities of electronic voting. To summarize:

<><>Dr. Halderman used a simple BIC ball-point pen to reboot a Dominion ICX BMD by simply inserting it into the power button on the back of the machine and hold it down for five seconds.

<><>This rebooted the machine into Safe Mode and allowed Super User access, (voter fraud unlimited) granting the attacker almost unlimited abilities to manipulate voting data on the machine.

<><>Professor Halderman was also able to use a Smart card purchased for $10 online and a $20 USB Smart card Reader from Amazon to program voter cards that could be used over and over again, county-wide.

<><>He also made a poll-worker card and, most importantly, a technician card that would also grant “Super User access.”

<><>commands to manipulate the Dominion ICX BMD could be automated – simply insert the card and it will do the rest. Further, nothing was needed that wasn’t public information to complete the programming.

<><>These cards would require some expertise to program, but once the counterfeit cards are made, anyone could insert it into the machine and exploit the vulnerability automatically.
