For those wondering how in the world the 2020 election could simultaneously be heralded "the most secure in US history" by election officials, and called "the greatest theft in the history of America" well then "Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America's Elections" (2020) is for you.
Harri Hursti is from Finland, and to establish his credibility we take a look at the Russia / Finland border and see a few of his childhood records establishing his rock-solid security and computer expertise. The highlight of this well-produced documentary was a recent Defcon hacker's conference, where one of the machines revealed a Windows XP login accessed remotely and hacked into.
Not unexpectedly a number of parties declined to be interviewed for obvious reasons - the software is proprietary, the hardware had all kinds of ports to connect into, they travel to an eBay reseller in Ohio who has stacks of Dominion Systems machines from 2002 readily for sale, still with voting records from 2012 in them.
Is there a Venezuelan connection to Dominion? Servers in Barcelona and Frankfurt? Data on flash drives that get 'lost'? I was told there was an air gap, that these machines are not connected to the Internet. Who knows, it really doesn't matter - these voting machines are hopelessly compromised in their current state.
All you have to do is watch this and see for yourself how compromised our voting system in the United States is at present.

This sequel or follow up to Hacking Democracy (documentary from 2006) is not being taken seriously enough. All discussions in American politics repeat every 2 or so year, just changing sides depending who won and who lost.
This documentary captures how easy it is to manipulate the votes pretty well. As technology moved forward, so did the security holes. It is inconceivable to have a voting machine that serves as a black box, that is relying on external data input while having data processing inside or even data link for updates that connects to intranet of some sort.
I am glad my country is using good old fashion paper thrown into a sealed box and people count it at the end of the voting day.

No ifs ands or buts about it- EVERY voting machine is vulnerable.
BOTH Republicans and Democrats politicians should want to get rid of voting machines- those who disagree need to be educated- if they still disagree they should never be able to run for office.
EVERYONE knows Kemp is a dirty politician, especially now with the new documentary "2000 Mules" (2022) I say this as a Democrat that voted for Donald Trump.
We should make voting day (NOT days) a national holiday. If well organized paper ballots can be used and counted.
The film is skewed from a Democrat perspective.

As an electrical engineer, I can see the vulnerabilities and am in shock that our government is ignoring this clear and dangerous threat!!
I know it got deplatformed etc. In the wake of being dubbed conspiracy. But then Politico before the mid terms of Joe Bidens presidency were warning about hackers tunnelling into voting infrastructure in their article headlined "6 election security threats to watch for on Election Day". And every outlet that reviewed this documentry prior to it being deplatformed found the documentry to be a very real and troubling. I mean people can believe their eyes hackers hacking voting machines, or you can believe senators most of which cannot handle an excel spreadsheet.
For me its a must watch because political honesty is a thing of the past. My faith in traditional media is gone even more so after the active Covid origins cover up. But people have to watch for themselves and make their own mind up on it.
