Smartmatic poll machines come into question

Post Reply New Topic

Hasn't that been known about for years. Why we don't use them in the UK.

The cheesey name "smartmatic" already makes me suspicious of them.

I'm sure this is purely coincidental...

I'm not certain these are from exhibits attached to the recent case regarding the voting machines, although having been sourced from one of the lawyers behind the case, it is likely...





Of particular interest was item 26 on the final image:

You know how I know when people know less digital forensics than I do? (I've been a hacker most of my life)

It's when everyone is posting such & such about so & so's servers as a means of attributing blame.

It's never that simple.

I break software for a fortune 500 for a living. Anything can be hacked. Any data can be breached. You are questioning companies right now when you should be questioning actual technology. Don't get it twisted.

So, Donald Trump and his loyal fans grasp at yet another straw, an the rest of us are supposed to doubt the integrity of that straw.

Never mind that neither Mr. Trump nor the most strident members of his organization are computer literate, forget about the fact that Mr. Trump is facing 15+ years in prison for his own crimes, and completely disregard Mr. Trump's own desperation to hold on to the Presidency far longer than the U.S. Constitution legally permits -- the rest of us are supposed to simply lap up whatever erupts from his lips and love it, no matter how foul and poluted it really is.

I can hardly wait for Mr. Trump to shut up and face reality -- he lost the election and he will forever be a LOSER!!

I'm simply pointing out an inexpert bunch of viewpoints on a simple matter of databasing that are obviously getting crossed up.

This is a foregone conclusion by the numbers anyway, calling something into question does not in fact confer questionableness.

Forgetting a passcode does not happen to anyone remotely qualified to run cybersecurity operations for a large country & Giuliani is the head of the investigations into voter fraud. Debunking his nonexistent qualifications in this area is on topic.

For that matter, Giuliani went outside federal law in asking Apple, an original equipment manufacturer, to deal in any security concerns regarding his device.

We have more than one wing of the Pentagon for national security matters of digital security.

For starters, a man died in Trump's apartment high rise due to the nonexistent fire sprinklers, which were legally required.

He also stands accused of rape.
