A voting machine used in at least a dozen states is vulnerable to a software attack that could compromise its vote tally and backup system, security firm Cylance revealed ahead of the US elections. Cylance disclosed a vulnerability within the Sequoia AVC Edge Mk1 voting machine, which is used at varying levels in states across the US, according to VerifiedVoting.org, including in more than 1,000 municipalities in Wisconsin. California-based Cylance said a Sequoia AVC Mk1 could be compromised by attacking software through the machine's firmware port, allowing a manipulation of the machine's vote tallies as well as its backup system, known as Protective Counter. The firm released a video demonstrating such an attack. "The decision to announce the research findings was intended to encourage remediation of the vulnerabilities prior to Election Day," the firm said, adding that "insecure machines" must be phased out. Every American who watches the video of Cylance exposed voting machines, might just want to all ask for a paper ballot...For what Cylance exposed on this voting machine just shows how easily the vote can be rigged. Remember America owners of these voting machines likely support a candidate obviously, and all the company who owns the voting machines has to do is play with ones and zeros to get the tally they want...If the candidate they are against is winning with the people. This just shows how screwed the election process has become in America since the introduction of voting machines at polling stations began. Of course this proves again that Donald Trump is correct about the rigged system, because Cylance just proved how simple it is for people to steal an election. Polling stations and owners of these electronic voting systems likely don't even have to mess with the ones and zeros in the voting machines, because we can be sure that these machines around the country are already programmed to rig the votes.
