The New York Times Video they wished would go away
When Chris Krebs made the infamous statement that the 2020 presidential election was the most secure election in American history, he had to figure the president was going to fire him, which president Trump did.
I'm not sure why Chris Krebs is in charge of cyber security for any firm since his degrees are in law and environmental science. Mr Krebs holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences from the University of Virginia and a J.D. from the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University.
Chris Krebs, working for Homeland Security said this:
"I wanted to understand so I looked at it and it was not that 68% of votes were in error. It was that the election management system logs had records of the logs themselves that had some sort of alert rate,” That is being used to spin that the machine is not trustworthy.”
Top government officials have assured us the voting machines were NOT connected to the internet.
Krebs insisted the 2020 election was the most secure ever before he was fired. But what did he say when confronted at the Senate hearings?
Senator Johnson:
“…but those tabulators are connected on Election Day ’cause that’s how they transmit the data to the counties and also into the official — uhm –“
Krebs:
“In some cases, yes, sir.”
It's no wonder president Trump fired his appointed Director of Cyber Security, Chris Krebs. Especially after Krebs told the US Senate Homeland Security Committee that some Dominion Voting Machines were connected to the internet, yet had the audacity to say this was the most secure election ever!
Whistleblowers are coming out to speak out on instances of voter-fraud across the country. There are reports of another sworn affidavit out of Michigan in a case where electronic voting machines were connected to the internet.
Patrick Colbeck, a poll-watcher from Wayne County, Michigan, told investigators that multiple machines used to tabulate votes showed an icon in the corner of the screens indicating that they were connected to the internet.
The EAC has until recently refused to issue guidelines banning the use of wireless modems. The EAC has even insisted that “no EAC certified voting system is connected to the Internet,” but that’s only because no vendor has chosen to pursue EAC certification for a voting system configured with wireless modems.
Election Security via NCSL
NCSL, founded in 1975, represents the legislatures in the states, territories and commonwealths of the U.S. Its mission is to advance the effectiveness, independence and integrity of legislatures and to foster interstate cooperation and facilitate the exchange of information among legislatures.
A “secure” voting machine means one that cannot be tampered with or manipulated. Security begins with requiring that systems accurately record votes as cast. Although requirements vary from state to state, other aspects of security that may be addressed include:
Securityof the equipment and ballots: Procedures that ensure that additional votes cannot be cast after the polls have closed or tampered with at any stage of the process, and that there is an auditable “chain of custody.”
Auditability: The capability of a machine to maintain an audit record that can be reviewed post-election.
Internet connection: Ensuring a machine cannot be connected to the Internet or networked during the voting period to avoid the potential for hacking.
We should be unplugging all of these machines from the internet,” says Kevin Skoglund, the computer scientist who led the 10-expert investigatory team. This means keeping elections technologies disconnected all the time, including on election night.
How good Chris Krebs with a straight face say this election or any other election that has been using voting systems that are connected to the internet is secure let alone the most secure ever?
