There’s a reason this sounds like the GOP’s complaining about insecure elections after refusing to secure them b4 the election. The GOP borrowed some of their techniques from the tobacco & oil & gas industries. And probably vice versa. It’s one giant fake propaganda bubble. 1/

3/ The use of fake “experts” (eg, Russ Ramsland and the fake military intelligence expert) is among those techniques, as I explained here.

“Russia ... has in recent days hacked into state & local computer networks in breaches that could allow Moscow broader access to American voting infrastructure.” - 10/22/20 1/ nytimes.com/live/2020/10/2…
If true, 2020 was NOT a secure election. Russia penetrated our election infrastructure again. Russia either sat it out or we overwhelmed their efforts. But there is every reason to worry that they may be still inside our election system. Waiting. @RonWyden #SAFEAct 2/
“Officials say Russia’s ability to change vote tallies nationwide is limited” Meaning they could CHANGE VOTE TALLIES IN SOME PLACES TOO. 3/

"To underline the lack of security at the ballot-programming level, ... Halderman displayed a screenshot of the “Who We Are” section of the webpage for Governmental Business Systems (GBS), an Illinois-based company that programs ballots 4 ... Michigan." 1/archive.thinkprogress.org/how-easy-would…
2/ "(They noted that GBS’s website didn’t even have basic Transport Layer Security encryption enabled.) This website offered names of all of GBS’s employees, along with their email addresses. From this, they pointed to the administrative assistant as a possible target."
3/ "But with the email addresses for every person in the company on display, it would be easy enough to find one person likely to be convinced enough by a professional-looking email purporting to come from Gmail, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter to click on a link or attachment."

I never forgot this either. @rad_atl was referring to an actual conversation. Remember how Russia sent spearphishing emails w/ Trojan malware to Florida election officials? What if some of those officials used the same computer 4 emails as for the election management system?! 1/ Image

3/ Election management systems are used to program the ballot definitions for voting machines before each election (the programming is transferred from the EMS to individual voting machines via USB sticks or memory cards. They also aggregate precinct totals on election night...

Susan Hennessey literally went out of her way to wrongly LEGITIMIZE Trump’s presidency. I wld know bc I called her out and saved a screenshot. Are we now in the staged opposition phase of the strangulation of our democracy?!
She did it here too.
Hennessy was wrong. Wyden is right. “People are always saying, no votes were changed [in 2016]. Nobody knows that! Because we wouldn’t know that unless we have a real forensic analysis ... & that hadn’t been done.” Sen. Wyden, member of the US Intelligence Committee, 10/23/19

"People are always saying, no votes were changed [in 2016]. Nobody knows that! Because we wouldn’t know that unless we have a real forensic analysis, u really broke the system down, & that hadn’t been done.” Senator Ron Wyden, member of the US Intelligence Committee, 10/23/19 1/
Note that manual recounts would have told us this, but Trump and his allies successfully derailed them. 2/

This was an embarrassment. Krebs got fact checked by Ron Johnson, one of Putin's puppets, about cellular modems that connect ballot scanners to the internet. Yes, Krebs knew about the modems. He's the one who refused to advise election officials in writing to remove them.
Receipt:
Letter from election-security experts about how wireless modems connect voting systems to the internet. When Krebs made this statement, even NBC News had reported on the internet connectivity. Yes, he knew. documentcloud.org/documents/7225…
