Democratic Senator Ron Wyden's warnings about voting machines and
election software before the 2020 election sound oddly similar to the
concerns raised by Mike Lindell: "The biggest seller of voting
machines is doing something that violates cyber security 101.
Directing that you install remote access software, which would make a
machine like that a magnet for fraudsters and hackers." “43% of
American voters use voting machines that researchers have found have
serious security flaws, including back doors. These companies are
accountable to no one. They won’t answer basic questions about their
cyber security practices. And the biggest companies won’t answer any
questions at all. Five states have no paper trail, and that means
there is no way to prove the numbers the voting machines put out are
legitimate. So much for cyber security 101.” "The vast majority of
10,000 election jurisdictions nationwide use election management
systems that run on old software that will soon be out of date and
ripe for exploitation by hackers, according to an exhaustive analysis
by the Associated Press. PA, WI, MI, FL, IA, IN, AZ, & NC among others
are all at risk. Even GA, which passed legislation to buy new voting
machines, is on track to buy equipment that suffers from the
significant cyber security weakness." "Our elections weren't secure
last week, and they sure as heck aren't secure this week, and anybody
who says otherwise is either selling you voting machines or simply has
a malicious intent towards our elections." Does anyone know if we
fixed the problems with the voting machines and election software that
Democratic Senator Ron Wyden raised before the 2020 election? Any
updates?
