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/ 
2/
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...
4/ The spearphishing emails sent to Florida election officials contained an attached Word document coded with malicious software (commonly referred to as a Trojan) that permitted the GRU to access the infected computer,” per Mueller’s indictment against 12 Russian hackers.
5/ OK, I'm a little impressed w/ myself right now. Here's the indictment. justice.gov/file/1080281/d…
@threadreaderapp plz unroll
6/ "Officials say Russia's ability to change vote tallies nationwide is limited." As in, they got in at least somewhere? - 10/22/20 nytimes.com/live/2020/10/2…
7/ "By August [2016], the U.S. Intelligence community had reported that Russian hackers could edit actual vote tallies, according to four of Obama's senior advisers." - Rigged, p. 176
9/ Jeremy Bash sure seemed to think the Mueller report's reference to a hacked Florida "network" implied that Russia got into the vote tallying system.
10/ Here's the link to what Jeremy Bash said. It always stuck out to me too. msnbc.com/11th-hour/watc…
11/ Slightly different, but this stuck out like a sore thumb too. Maybe Hillary was just mistaken? But it's a pretty big thing to be just mistaken about. time.com/5578267/florid…
12/ What haven't we been told, @POTUS?! Please declassify the redacted information from the Mueller report and the bipartisan Senate report?! This is ridiculous. As if Florida doesn't matter much...
13/ From 2019
.@threadreaderapp Plz unroll. TY!
14/ This is what caused me to revisit the tweet in post 1. I re-read the Intercept article re: the NSA report and noticed this alluring quote from Prof. Halderman.
15/ Then I remembered @rad_atl’s tweet.
16/ Some local officials (maybe FL, maybe not) had their email and EMS on the same computer!
17/ This booklet says that some election management systems are connected to a network. And some county election management systems are connected to the state election management system. cisecurity.org/wp-content/upl…
