It\u2019s a simple process. It wouldn\u2019t have taken more than an hour to image all 5 machines. That was never done despite my objections and that was three weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Delaware County uses Hart Intercivic voting machines, so the demonstration by Cook may not apply to these machines, however, he has not been afforded the opportunity to test the vulnerability of their software.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/voting-machines-voting-custodio-elections-philadelphia-f8a6453dc9e211ef20e9412d003511b1\">In September 2020<\/a>, before the election took place, a warehouse \u201celection-staging site\u201d in Philadelphia was broken into.\u00a0 The only thing stolen was the laptop of an employee of ES&amp;S, the voting machine manufacturer, and some USB drives.\u00a0 While this is not the same software as what Cook demonstrated, it is a vulnerability nonetheless that may be exploited in those machines as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The opportunity was there.\u00a0 The security of the election systems physically and surrounding the systems is lacking or totally absent.\u00a0 There is evidence that election results can be altered if a bad actor is given access to the records.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/04\/cybersecurity-expert-confirms-sql-software-on-voting-machines-real-time-manipulation-of-votes-on-dominion-voting-software-demonstrated\/\">Cybersecurity Expert Confirms and Provides Examples of How SQL Software Can Be Used on Voting Machines to Alter Results<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior to the 2020 Presidential Election, notable Democrat leaders, such as President Obama, and election experts, such as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
