In New Hampshire, a cybersecurity firm found troubling security bugs — and the Ukrainian national anthem — written into a voter database built with the help of an overseas subcontractor.

 

The revelation prompted the state to take a precaution that is rare among election officials: It hired a forensic firm to scour the technology for signs that hackers had hidden malware deep inside the coding supply chain.

 

The probe unearthed some unwelcome surprises: software misconfigured to connect to servers in Russia and the use of open-source code — which is freely available online — overseen by a Russian computer engineer convicted of manslaughter, according to a person familiar with the examination and granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about it.

 

None of the findings amounted to evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said, and the company resolved the issues before the new database came into use ahead of the presidential vote this spring.

 

I wonder what they'd have to find to consider it "evidence of wrongdoing"?  And why such a forensic audit is rare among election officials?

Those damn Russians will do anything to get Trump back into the White House.

Hey, I'm open to the possibility that both sides cheat and the reason Trump's pissed off is because he didn't get his money's worth.   And Hillary, too.

 

But don't try to tell me there's no cheating going on.

 

Edit:  I should correct that.  It's not both sides.  It's all sides.  Because I can think of a dozen countries, half a dozen alphabet agencies, and quite a few corporations that may be programming their own version of the Ukrainian National Anthem into the sauce.  Over the interweb, which we were told is impossible.

 

The extreme bias by almost all of the mainstream media, is enough to make an election unbalanced and unfair.

The irony being that election officials in New Hampshire, in order to avoid conspiracy theories, decided not to select the widely used Dominion system. 😁

Instead they chose a new and inexperienced supplier..

States administer elections.

 

In 2022, 70% voted by hand-marked paper ballot, 23% voted by matching which marks a paper ballot, and 7% by Direct Recording Electronic machines.

Harris is plus 7 in this left-leaning state with 4 electoral college votes.

 

Trump is still likely to win. What will yousay  then? "Oh the election was fine."

 

 

Calm down.

It seems you believe that an election system which contains vulnerabilities is the same as actual evidence of cheating.  While the former may be true in some instances, the latter is not. 

 

 

This what the Dems are worried about.

 

This is a false flag operation by the Trump team prepping for Nov 5 and another resounding loss.

Much the same as every MSM, Hillary, and the Dems believed after taking the L in 2016.   There were dozens of MSM articles about the vulnerability of the machines after 2016 and even more after 2018 midterms.   Google them.   Not to mention montages of Dems claiming Trump and the Russkies cheated.   

 

Crickets, though, after 2020.  Why is that?

Yes, as it should be, and should have been in 2020 but for massive election interference and fraud.

The usual MAGA false equivalence tactics.

 

There may have been a few complaints in 2016  but, unlike the Republicans about the 2020 election, there was no organised and wide campaign to claim that the vote counting was not right because elections had been rigged by massive voter fraud. 

 

BTW, It's Trump who claimed in 2016 and 2017 that  the count was not right because of massive voter fraud! 😀

Yawn.

 

One state, Texas, suing another state Pennsylvania arguing PA doesn't know how to run an election.

 

Please stop the nonsense.

 

The Supreme Court issued orders on December 11, declining to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of the election held by another state.

If that's what you believe, you don't have a clue.  It was more than just PA.  And 126 congressmen agreed in a sworn statement, along with 18 states. 

 

And I would add that the SCOTUS specifically stated they didn't judge the merits or the facts of the case.  Just the standing.

You referred to Texas v. Pennsylvania. No clue what you now mean by "It was more than just PA."?

 

126 "congressmen" signing onto a mad plot to stop the peaceful transfer of power is hardly indicative of anything.

 

"Standing" is important. Even a nine-year-old recognizes how silly it is for one state to try and tell another state how to hold an election.
