The US government, aka Biden White House and an Obama appointed judge are holding back the findings of the Dominion Voting Machines security analysis by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The fact is the state of Georgia requested this report to “secure” the next election.
Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to “undermine election security.”
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was recently provided an unredacted copy of the report, which was prepared by J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.
The report discusses “potential vulnerabilities in Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices,” or electronic voting devices, according to the government.
While CISA supports public disclosure of any vulnerabilities and associated mitigation measures with election equipment, allowing the release of the report at this point “increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security,” government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama nominee overseeing the case, was urged by CISA to reject attempts to release a redacted version of Halderman’s report for now.
Plaintiffs, including the Coalition for Good Governance, also support the release of the report, and asked Totenberg to order them to file a redacted version of the report on the docket, which would make it accessible to the public, no later than March 4.
The Coalition for Good Governance said the court “should not unreasonably delay the public disclosure of the report, which must be promptly disclosed to Georgia state and county election officials, and filed on the public docket, so that public officials can secure the upcoming May primary elections.”
Well, 30 days will do it and I’m sure it will be an effective report that will undoubtedly be redacted beyond all comprehension. (sarcasm)
