On Wednesday, Just the News<\/a> reported that despite concerns from cybersecurity experts, the State of Georgia will not update its voting machines until after the 2024 election. Sounds like they are planning to close the barn door right after the horse leaves.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A nearly 2-year-old report was finally made public<\/a>\u00a0last week and showed\u00a0Dominion voting machines had significant vulnerabilities, which led the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to issue a public advisory last year based on the findings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, Georgia election officials say that the machines won\u2019t be updated until after the 2024 elections because it’s such a massive undertaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0was completed in July 2021 by University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman with Professor Drew Springall, of Auburn University, and focused in part on vulnerabilities they found after examining Dominion\u2019s ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices for three months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A redacted copy of the report\u00a0was released<\/a>\u00a0June 14 by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division. \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report was completed on behalf of the plaintiffs in the case of Curling v. Raffensperger and found the Dominion machines are vulnerable to vote flipping<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Halderman suggested the machines were capable of being manipulated in mere minutes by bad actors, saying the QR codes on printed ballots could be altered and malware installed on individual machines \u201cwith only brief physical access.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

That sounds like a problem that really should be corrected before another election.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

However, in the judge’s order making the report public, she said CISA and the parties in the lawsuit agreed that the proposed redactions to the report appropriately safeguarded against election security concerns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dominion settled a lawsuit with Fox News in April for $787 million regarding claims made on the news station\u2019s channel about the company\u2019s voting machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phill Kline, director of The Amistad Project, told Just the News on Wednesday that one of the problems with the issue of voting machines’ integrity in election systems is the disagreement among experts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also said officials overseeing elections don\u2019t have the knowledge to understand how the machines work and have to rely on the companies that created them to make sure everything works properly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMachines are not transparent, and that\u2019s the problem,\u201d Kline said. He also said the transparency issue is a \u201ckey reason Americans are losing faith in elections,\u201d and that they cannot get their questions answered about how elections are conducted\u00a0 “in a manner that\u2019s understandable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
