Georgia's Election Insecurity

Quote:

A federal judge heard nearly 9 hours in oral arguments that alleges Georgia's current electronic elections system is too insecure. Georgia was ranked by congress as one of the 4 most vulnerable states in the us for not having a paper trail. It's hard to know where to start with this one. First, there's the issue of if you are a registered Georgia voter, your information, from your date of birth to your drivers license number, and even the last four digits of your social security number have all been downloaded from this allegedly secure database. Along with elections supervisor passwords. ... Two Secretary of State officials admitted that there has been no forensic audit of the system, even looking for malicious hacking. Even after a researcher told them he had hacked the system. 6 months later, it was still open. They still admit they did nothing to decontaminate. Those Secretary of State officials testified that they actually did not even know that the voter information and elections supervisor passwords were downloaded and did not investigate. The defense's argument: too little time and too little money. The switch an impossibility, like putting wings on an elephant and hoping he'll fly. Former Secretary of State Cathy Cox testified on their behalf that the system is flawed but said the switch would cause chaos beyond belief.
