A federal judge in Atlanta, Georgia, unsealed a previously confidential report on June 14 showing that Dominion Voting Systems machines are vulnerable to hacking and vote-switching. Authored by University of Michigan computer science professor Alex Halderman, this report argued that Dominion machines desperately need a software upgrade. More than 20 cybersecurity experts have rushed to defend Halderman’s report this week, even though another declassified report paid for by Dominion argues that the identified vulnerabilities were unlikely.

Georgia officials say the needed software upgrade would be an enormous undertaking they have no intention of starting until after the 2024 United States presidential election. So the vulnerabilities that hackers may have exploited to steal the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Georgia will likely be available for them to use again.

Hacking democracy: A group of computer and election security experts has been urging Georgia election officials to immediately stop using Dominion Voting Systems touchscreen machines. MyPillow ceo Mike Lindell is urging the nation to do the same. President Donald Trump has gone a step further by promising to end election crimes by returning America to same-day voting, voter identification and paper ballots if he is reelected president in 2024.

These are necessary steps to restore free and fair elections in America because any voting machine can be hacked. Even liberal politicians like Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Mark Pocan have pointed to the fact that Dominion Voting Systems is a scandal-plagued company posing a threat to America.

War against the machines: When Barack Obama was running for president in 2008, he answered a question about how to prevent election fraud, saying: “Well, I tell you what: It helps in Ohio that we have Democrats in charge of the machines.” He was implying that Republicans would use those machines to rig the vote, so he was quite familiar with how voting machines can be manipulated. But now he insists that voting machines are trustworthy.

In “Ready for War,” Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry noted: “[I]f you don’t get rid of the machines Democrats used to steal the 2020 election, you won’t win another election. … America’s power structures are terminally ill, top to bottom. The government agents are sick; the legislators are sick; the judges are sick; the media moguls are sick; the officials counting our votes are sick. Why did it take officials in Clark County, Nevada, nearly a week to count 50,000 mail-in ballots when it should take less than a day? They were looking for various ways to pad the vote!”
