A massive global tech outage Friday snarled early voting in Arizona’s state-level primary elections — as travelers leaving the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee were delayed, officials said Friday.
Some early voting stations in the Grand Canyon state, where early voting has been open since July 3, were knocked out of use Friday, according to the Maricopa County Elections Department.
“Due to the global tech outage, Maricopa County is also experiencing an outage at some voting locations,” the department wrote on on X.

yeah. Keep in mind these were currently active machines. Supposedly the results are stored locally on the machine and and not connected to internet. For this reason, anything that happened on the internet should not have affect the machines at all.
Who knows this might be a good thing because they can’t hide it. They never expected something like this to happen.
Lol
These are local elections.
If the hack is well done it would never be noticed without a full audit and only then if there was paper backup to contradict the machines.
The hack could be as simple as “Increase line x by 5% at X oclock on Y date”, “Reduce line y by 5% at X:15 oclock on Y date”.
“Supposedly the results are stored locally on the machine and and not connected to internet. For this reason, anything that happened on the internet should not have affect the machines at all.”
The problem is that if the machines are ever connected to the Internet—even for a moment—at any time—the hack can be done—even months before the election.
The hack just needs to identify the future date and time of the hack and the line numbers to be altered and by how much.
It wouldn’t even matter which Democratic candidate was running since it is the line number that is being altered.
Well they admit it was triggered by what happened with crowdstrike. Any update shouldn’t have been on a voting machine. crowdstrike software would have no business being on a voting machine. And yet (some)voting stations were down, perhaps it would be educational to see in what districts the machines were down.
Exactly—this is a big deal.
They got caught with their fingers in the cookie jar.
What you say is key.
The same company Hitlery used to cover up her emails.
Crowdstrike went from a 50 million dollar company to a 3 billion dollar company in 7 years. All because of democrap party ties
The poll computers are connected to the internet.
They use them to determine whether you a registered and can receive a ballot.
Crowdstrike strikes at the crowd again.
What a stupid (yet highly accurate) name for an organization.
The news report says voting station, not polling place.
Yeah crowd strike sounds like a hacker group name doesn’t some dark web hacking group
When have reporters ever been right about voting equipment (or guns)? There are four or five devices involved in modern macine voting. The poll device is the only one conected to a remote database which cloudfare woul be used to protect.
well last i voted there was: 1) a voting station and 2) women with index cards verifying voters. No windows computer.
The woman with the index cards has been replaced with a woman with an electronic poll book in Arizona.
