Expert shows how to tamper with Georgia voting machine in security trial
[AJC] Election officials say vulnerabilities are merely speculative

Huddled around a voting machine in a federal courtroom, a small crowd watched as expert witness Alex Halderman demonstrated how someone could meddle with a Georgia election within seconds.

Halderman, a University of Michigan computer scientist, changed results of a hypothetical referendum on Sunday alcohol sales. He flipped the winner in a theoretical election between President George Washington and Benedict Arnold, the Revolutionary War general who defected to the British. He rigged the machine to print out as many ballots as he wanted.

All he needed was a pen to reach a button inside the touchscreen, a fake $10 voter card he had programmed, or a $100 USB device that he plugged into a cord connected to a printer, rewriting the touchscreen’s code.

#3 ....a small crowd watched as expert witness Alex Halderman

A "small crowd" which did not include Gov. Kemp or Secretary of State Raffensperger.

#4 Halderman demonstrated one way to do this. For all we know there are 100 more.

#5  ^ Right. The reason they call it software is it can be changed, molded like clay, to suit the programmer's purposes. And when the programmer is working for Democrats, it can be changed all kinds of ways.

#6 Anybody who understands this would never trust a computerized voting machine.

#7 ^How do you know the result was produced using real data?

#8 The data doesn't matter. The point is the software can be altered at any time by anybody who knows a trick or two. Did you know that with Bluetooth you can transfer files from your smart phone to a Bluetooth enabled computer? That one little file could tell the computer to do something different than what it did when it was supposedly "certified" by "election officials". Do you know for certain that Dominion voting machines are not Bluetooth enabled? How would you know that and how would you believe the "election officials" who told you it isn't so?

So a handful of Democrat apparatchiks go from polling station to polling station in cities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Madison and Phoenix with their smart phones and there goes the election, just like that.

#9 One more thing and I'll go to my room.

In 2020 I went to the polling station to vote, telling myself I was old fashioned and so I wouldn't vote by mail.

So I was in the polling booth and found that, unlike previous elections, there was a Dominion voting machine instead of a paper ballot. Being the kind of guy I am, I couldn't help turning the machine around to see the label on the back of it. There I found exactly what I suspected. The machine was Made in China.

#10 
in 2020 we went to our polling station about an hour before it closed. My vote number on the system was 418 and the wife's was 423.

However reviews of the official results a few weeks late indicate, I must have missed the voter line stretching a mile down the road at the 6ft social distancing waiting to vote in the next hour.
