HOW TO HACK A VOTING MACHINE IN TWO MINUTES

Voting machines are far from impenetrable. There’s remote access loopholes, general corporate malfeasance, and democracy-shattering bad design, for starters. And then there are hacks like this.

In a video posted to Twitter, Rachel Tobac, CEO of white hat hacker group SocialProof Security, showed just how easy it was to obtain admin access to one of the most popular electronic voting machines in the U.S. The hack takes about two minutes and requires no specialized equipment (save a ballpoint pen) to obtain administrative access.

The machine used by Tobac is the Premier Election System’s BallotStation 4.7, a close cousin to the Diebold AccuVote TS, one of the most popular and vulnerable electronic machines used to record vote tallies. Though Diebold changed its name to Premier back in 2007 for “strategic” reasons, it apparently decided to hold on to its extremely vulnerable equipment.

Paper ballots filled out and counted by hand are the only real safe way to keep an election honest and even then the ballots must be counted by people from both parties.

This is the truth. You see their games, mind control escapades. The propaganda (Pravda?) of the communist !Democrats! No I say not! In 1994, it was well known that (Bill) was under their controllers. We voted the greatest, Newt Gegrich, Speaker. Now Pelosi? What, no my audiences. The malfeasances are still happening (Swamp ,Creatures,,!) day no to liberals !

“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” -President Ronald Reagan

Fellow travelers, we wish that Reagan's words still rang true like they did when he was our leader. But as evidenced here, the liberals have morphed into Moaists, Leftists and centrists. How do you know the difference?

We should not vilify the true liberals. The ones who care about rights and freedoms. Soon, they too will be disgusted by the Maoists and Leftists. It's just a matter of time, you have seen their reaction the the post-birth abortion laws in NY and Va.

The Maoists and Leftists, my listeners, have the eyes and minds of Satan. You can identify them so easily. They are clearly part of the realm beyond which humans, regardless of religious beliefs, would identify as even remotely moral. Their consciousness has been replaced with Alinsky, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao's Little Red Book.

They make even Barack Obama look like a centrists. We have entered the darkest hours !!!

Northwest Woodsman: My fear is that no matter how popular President Trump is, that his re-election will be corrupted by voter fraud which Marxist democrats have been exploiting for probably the last thirty years and probably more. I would guess that a significant number of Marxist democrat elected officials have gotten there through rampant vote fraud including illegals, deceased, felons, machine manipulation and intimidation. I can’t count the number of times that in a close vote tally, all of the sudden, Marxist democrats, who usually run the polls, discover a bag of absentee ballots that had not been counted. The number of Marxist democrat votes in the bag far outnumber a token of conservative votes and that margin is always enough for the Marxist democrat to win. We need to have conservatives legally carrying stationed at every polling place to exercise their own form of intimidation and to let Marxist democrats know that we will not put up with their corruption any longer. This political corruption and insane liberal programs and policies is about to reach a tipping point and I fear that the 2020 election is going to result in violence on an unprecedented scale.

a receipt of how you voted spit out of the machine after you cast your ballot to ensure that it took the votes the way you wanted. Mandatory voter I.D. No legal i.d that matches the board elections, complete with legal name and address, No vote. If these 2 things alone were implemented, you would see voter fraud drop drastically. It;s almost 2020 it can be done.

Northwest Woodsman: Sorry 5:22, but have you ever seen a video of president trumps rally’s. I’m convinced that if he loses it will be as a result of Marxist fraud and corruption. If that is not the case, why, then, are democrats so fearful of voter ID? The man has made some incredible progress toward repairing the damage caused by the Obama administration and those of earlier Marxist fools , despite the liberal media and Marxist politicians attacking absolutely every thing he attempts. I’m so sick of Marxist democrat fools and their hatred for the good people of this country who are patriots and recognize that we need to put a stop on all this liberal BS. Just take a really objective look at your candidates and those sitting in congress and convince me that you are supporting what is best for our country and that you are not just blindly following the dogma of the Marxist democrat agenda. If you seriously believe in their cause, you are suffering from what I believe to be a genetic predisposition toward some sort of insanity that does not allow you to critically evaluate facts. Your agenda is emotionally based where facts and reality have no place. And I’m not sorry if truth and facts are inconvenient to you or hurt your feelings.

Go back and take another hit off your Bong! You are crazy if you think President Trump is unpopular. You are one crazy little Socialist who believes everything you are spoonfed!

These new so-called "paper ballot" machines are the biggest scam I have ever seen. You fill out the paper ballot and it keeps what you filled out. Nothing shows up on the screen to show how you voted. There isn't even a receipt that is spit out for you to verify how you voted.

This was done intentionally because there were too many machines that flipped the votes right in front of you and they were caught. The Democrat-controlled State Elections Board came up with the new machines so that you couldn't tell how the votes went and this was intentional.

Guess whop approved the sale of these new paper ballot machines? That's right, the Democrat-controlled General Assembly!

Everything should be done by hand. No machines at all. The taxpayers pay a lot of money to employ all of these people to watch all day long so why not take that money and pay them to count the damn votes?

In our latest election the candidates can ask for a recount of the actual ballots, the question is, do you think they tampered with the paper ballots too?

I see that some people are predicting violence, if that happens it will probably be against the lying MSM. They are the ones that keep stirring the pot.
