I don’t really understand why voting machines are complicated enough that there are feasible vulnerabilities. They have one job, and it’s to count. It really shouldn’t be too tough for a crack team of competent devs to write the software required to make them work securely. No network access, a memory safe language, and strict business rules should be relatively trivial to setup. Double that will external audits and you’ve got yourself a stew.
The likely motive:
“My thought was they could keep it in their back pocket to invalidate any [election] results they don’t like,” one of the former officials told ProPublica. “This goes against everything CISA represents.”
Well, this and to exploit them. Like:
Step 1: exploit vulnerabilities.
Step 2: accuse opponent of exploiting them, lock them up.
Step 3: profit
Do vulnerabilities in voting software typically get disclosed to the public? Is there a CVE list somewhere that I can browse?
Americans deserve what’s about to happen to them.
fuck you, asshole.
Choose better politicians then…
And the rest of the world?
Sucks to be us right now. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
