Cyber Security Expert: Dominion Was Connected to Internet on Election Day, Communicated Overseas

[American Greatness] Members of President Donald Trump’s legal team held a public hearing Monday with select members of Arizona’s legislature to gather and examine evidence of 2020 election irregularities and fraud in the state.

The point of the "fact-finding mission," led by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, was to collect evidence for Arizona lawmakers that would justify holding a special session to investigate further.

Giuliani’s first witness at the was officer retired U.S. Army Colonel Phil Waldron, a cybersecurity expert who spent half of his 30-year military career as a cavalry officer, conducting armed reconnaissance, and the last half of his career in information warfare.

Waldron stated that the common software in most of the automated systems operating in the United States today come from Smartmatic Voting Systems and are vulnerable to hackers or on-site manipulation.

Waldon said that his "white hat hackers" had witnessed Dominion communicating with overseas servers, directly contradicting fired Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Chris Krebs, who said the 2020 election was "the most secure in American history" and that "there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

He said his team used a reconnaissance tool to look at the Dominion voting network on November 3, confirming that the it was connected to the internet, and that "there were plenty of vulnerabilities" allowing hackers to "penetrate the system."

Waldon said his team observed "packet traffic" that went from the U.S. to Frankfurt, Germany, but wasn’t sure if the traffic was coming from Dominion, or another automated voting system.

He explained that "packet traffic" are "bits of information that are sent over the internet protocol from one point to another." An automated voting system company called Scytl is located in Germany.

#1 Connected to overseas systems to what end? For what purpose ?

#2 The thing to keep in mind is that the cyber-minute men and women aren't going away. So no matter how unpalatable to the emotionally unstable in our midst, when exactly would it be better to have it all come out?

#3 #1 to actual or mirrored servers to recieve, modify and inject back into real time election results from locations outside the US and jurisdiction of US laws.

#4 400 Million sent to Dominion a month before the election from UBS with a Chinese connection?

#5 He also pointed out that, even if the 'voting tallying' machines did not have a direct connection to the internet, the server they do connect to does. Someone else mentioned that they traced ethernet cables from the voting machines to a central 'server' which had an internet connection.
The best part was when the mathematician mentioned that there is no reason to use floating-point values (values where you have fractional values to the 'right' of the decimal point) for tallying unless you intend to cheat and use 'weighted race tallying' - tallying each Biden vote as 1.3 votes and each Trump vote as only 0.7 votes - effectively giving 30% of the Trump votes to Biden.

#6 ^In house that is called client/server.

There are all kinds of server configurations. Proxy server is the server that is LAN proxy for the client machines so they can have access to the internet.

If the IP address of the voting machines are 192.168.whatever.whatever then they are part of a local area network (LAN) in the building and considered the client, connected to the outside world through the web proxy server that has IP Adresses such as 158.234.23.89. If the voting machines have noon-192.168... IP Addresses they are directly connected to the Internet.

There has to be WAN (Wide Area Network) of servers that voting locations throughout the state send all the vote tallies to which then gives the world the state totals and that is what you see scrolling across the screen.

The only reason servers would be outside the US is to manipulate and adjust votes and make that illegality harder to prosecute.

I have pinged servers in South Korea, France and London and can send data packets to them in real time (mili-seconds) across the world.

#7 ^ and that was before fiber optics which now do speed of light data transmissions between servers around the world.

#9 Like, hey, man, dis is the big man, Bill Barr. He say he ain't seen no "widespread" election sham. He da man, man.

#10 Actually 192.168.*.* as well as 10.*.*.* (and I think a few more) are considered 'private' subnets. Those IP addresses are not resolvable over the 'internet'. Thousands of companies probably use the 10.* subnet internally and route their 'internet' traffic thru a proxy which also has a static, public 'internet' address. Proxy's are also used to filter traffic. I know one company who's proxies intentionally act as a 'man in the middle' to be able to decrypt, examine, and re-encrypt SSL traffic. It was pain in the ass to work with.

Whatever. We don't know what type of protocol or protections they are using (if any). For all we know each voting machine is sending data, in plaintext, to the central server in Germany which tallys them all up, weights them, and sends out the 'real time' updates - in floating point which is how you get a 1.3 votes for a candidate and 0.7 for his opponent...
