Video from Symantec on how to hack a voting machine
/By Rubashov
We are constantly bombarded by the Media with assurances that our voting process is the best in the world. One can practically hear a chorus of “U.S.A… U.S.A…” as it is done. But if you do a little reading of court records and industry testimony, you find there is a great deal out there that is unsettling.
To demonstrate how vulnerable some of our digital election infrastructure really is, the cyber security experts at Symantec (which is part of the same organization that owns Norton and Broadcom cyber security brands) examined two voting machines. They were last used in State and Federal elections in 2012 and 2013.
In the video below, Symantec performed a cursory review of the vulnerabilities and found numerous deficiencies and ways in for hackers. Symantec claims that “elections are under assault across the globe” and states: “Well-resourced malicious cyber actors have tampered with our elections, whether it’s hacking voting machines or waging information warfare through social media.”
According to the state website, New Jersey uses the controversial Dominion Voting Systems:

The Legislature has a duty to do its job and not continue to allow one-man rule by the Governor. It needs to closely examine the election process and its machinery to ensure the system’s integrity.
To date, the Democrat majority has been too lazy to do the job it was elected to do (they still take full perks and pay, however). The most recent example was its party-line vote to table A-4147, legislation that would require the Governor to work with the elected Legislature by limiting his executive power to 14-day increments.
New Jersey voters now face the bizarre reality that the Governors of other states have input into the decision process that affects the economic and physical landscape of their state. And that these elected officials from other states have far more input than the men and women New Jersey voters elect to representative them in the Legislature.
It begs the question of just what the Legislature is for? Through the connivance of Governor Murphy and the Democrat Leadership, the Legislature is being turned into little more than a mid-level holding pen for Democrat patronage appointees waiting for the really big plums. Proving themselves by doing what they’re told.
This is a story that the Media should be reporting. But, as Professor Noam Chomsky wrote in Manufacturing Consent, that might not be something they do anymore…
“Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.”Noam Chomsky
