The 96-page Halderman Report – the Security Analysis of Georgia’s ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices – was finally unsealed after years on Wednesday by a Judge in the Georgia Federal District Court. In the past two years, the allegedly corrupt Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, has done everything in his power to conceal this report from the public. Why? Why also did the Judge allow this to stay hidden? Were there payoffs in play for the two?
J. Halderman, a professor at the University of Michigan, and Drew Sringall, a security researcher and assistant professor at Auburn University, collaborated on a report in which they discovered numerous exploitable vulnerabilities in the ImageCast X system of Dominion Voting Systems. The results of the investigation into Dominion voting machines in Georgia were sealed and concealed by Progressive and reportedly on the take Judge Amy Totenberg, who sat on the report until this week.
The report verifies that ballots on Dominion voting machines can be altered. In fact, the report reveals that the Dominion software is hackable. The never Trumper Secretary of State Raffensperger intentionally concealed this information from the public and allowed these hackable machines to be used in 2022.
Halderman wrote about his report this week:
Back in September 2020, the Court granted the Curling Plaintiffs access to one of Georgia’s touchscreen ballot marking devices (BMDs) so that they could assess its security. Drew and I extensively tested the machine, and we discovered vulnerabilities in nearly every part of the system that is exposed to potential attackers. The most critical problem we found is an arbitrary-code-execution vulnerability that can be exploited to spread malware from a county’s central election management system (EMS) to every BMD in the jurisdiction. This makes it possible to attack the BMDs at scale, over a wide area, without needing physical access to any of them.
Our report explains how attackers could exploit the flaws we found to change votes or potentially even affect election outcomes in Georgia, including how they could defeat the technical and procedural protections the state has in place. While we are not aware of any evidence that the vulnerabilities have been exploited to change votes in past elections, without more precautions and mitigations, there is a serious risk that they will be exploited in the future.
On Thursday Professor Halderman tweeted out that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will not install Dominion’s security patches before the 2024 election.
Raffensperger, a vociferous Never-Trumper, has known about the findings for two years and allowed to be operated the vulnerable devices during his 2022 reelection campaign. Was he in on the hacks? Is he an accomplice to election interference and treason?
We guess that the Fulton County DA can stop looking into indicting Trump for claiming that the election was rigged now that the facts have proven him right. Wait, these left wing DA’s don’t care about fact, just “Get Trump!”
