OR/WA Election System Flawed: Votes Changed by Black Hatters

THE OREGON AND WASHINGTON ONLINE REGISTRATION SYSTEM HAS A MAJOR FLAW
THAT ALLOWS ANYONE TO FIND THE PERSONAL ADDRESS OF ALL REGISTERED
VOTERS, ALLOWS ONE TO CANCEL VOTES, AND ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO ISSUE
BALLOTS IN OTHER'S NAMES!

This is not a joke people. Last night, black hatters successfully used
the system to find the personal addresses of Jeff Bezos and Bill
Gates[1]. The Black hatters then discovered a system of online voting
designed for senior citizens and disableds to vote. This system was
then used to cancel the ballot issued by Mayor Ted Wheeler (D,
Portland) to President Donald Trump as proof of the flaws. Voter
registrations were then changed for numerous individuals to change
their mailing address to gibberish.[2]

This is NOT A BUG, this is a DESIGN CHOICE for convenience. Furthermore,
it was also brought to attention that people can email a vote in. The
way the system works is that the most-recent ballot is the only valid
one, and all previous ballots were canceled.

This group of blackhats, posting to the 4chan board /pol/, were later
suppressed and silenced. I expected this to be front-page news by
morning. I see nothing of it.

Shortly after this was discovered, the voting system was briefly down
but restored Sunday morning. No changes were made.

All one needs to do is know the Legal Name, and the birth date of the
individual to find their private information. No other qualifiers are
necessary.

The website itself for voter registration[3] does not have a TLS
Certificate, meaning the connection is insecure and any information
submitted to it is vulnerable to a simple MITM attack. This is the
/least/ of the problems at hand.

I do not know when this system was implemented, but I believe it may
have been as far-back as 2008. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS across
the entire country.

I request that anyone who reads this email forward it to at least 10
more individuals to spread the word.
