In a startling revelation during a high-profile Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Tulsi Gabbard, the United States Director of National Intelligence, unveiled evidence of electronic voting machine tampering, a move that could potentially alter election outcomes in the United States.
This disclosure substantiates long-held suspicions by conservatives that the bedrock of America's electoral system is under threat.
Gabbard, in her comprehensive update on investigations into intelligence politicization and election interference, stated, "Ive got a long list of things that were investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them."
As reported by Gateway Pundit, she further elaborated, "We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections."
This revelation aligns with the findings of The Gateway Pundit, which has been tracking this issue. The world's leading hackers also concur with this assessment. At the annual DEF CON conference in Las Vegas last year, hackers gathered at the Voting Village event to identify and expose vulnerabilities in voting machines slated for use in the upcoming November election.
Throughout the weekend, hackers at Voting Village scrutinized various voting machines and related equipment, attempting to circumvent security measures. Harri Hursti, co-founder of Voting Village, noted that the list of vulnerabilities found was extensive but consistent with previous years. "Theres so much basic stuff that should be happening and is not happening, so yes Im worried about things not being fixed, but they havent been fixed for a long time, and Im also angry about it," Hursti told Politico.
Scott Algeier, executive director of the Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IT-ISAC), emphasized that rectifying vulnerabilities is not a swift process. He stated, "Even if you find a vulnerability next week in a piece of modern equipment thats deployed in the field, theres a challenge in getting the patch and getting the fix out to the state and local elections officials and onto the equipment before the November election." He added, "Its not a 90-day fix, Its not a Microsoft every Tuesday, issue your patch and everything works fine. Its a pretty complicated process."
This is not the first instance of DEF CON hackers successfully infiltrating vulnerable voting machines currently in use in the US. In July 2017, DEF CON hackers swiftly compromised the voting machines, with one individual managing to hack in and vote remotely on one of the machines within just 90 minutes.
In 2019, at the DEF CON conference in Las Vegas, NBC News technology correspondent Jacob Ward provided an in-depth look at how easily hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in voting systems.
This is not the first time we have heard about election machine vulnerabilities. In 2023, University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Halderman, revealed in a Georgia courtroom that Dominion Voting Systems were vulnerable to hacks. His report confirmed that votes can be altered in the Dominion voting machines. In fact, the report reveals that the Dominion software is vulnerable and can be hacked.
Professor Halderman wrote in his report, "We discovered vulnerabilities in nearly every part of the system that is exposed to potential attackers. The most critical problem we found is an arbitrary-code-execution vulnerability that can be exploited to spread malware from a countys central election management system (EMS) to every BMD in the jurisdiction. This makes it possible to attack the BMDs at scale, over a wide area, without needing physical access to any of them."
He further explained, "Our report explains how attackers could exploit the flaws we found to change votes or potentially even affect election outcomes in Georgia." The Secretary of State in Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, announced in 2023 that he would not fix the vulnerabilities before the 2024 election. Dr. Halderman revealed that the Dominion machines were so vulnerable that he was able to hack into one of the machines in the courtroom with a pen!
The Gateway Pundit has published dozens of reports like this over the past decade. Regrettably, the situation remains unchanged. Republicans seem to turn a blind eye and walk away, leaving Americans to continue using vulnerable voting machines in election after election. This ongoing issue raises serious questions about the integrity of the electoral process and the need for immediate action to safeguard the democratic process.
