Biden Administration Urges Court Not to Allow Release of ‘Secret Report’ on Dominion Voting Machines
The Epoch Times ^ | February 12, 2022 | Zachary Stieber

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.

The case was brought in 2017 by good-government groups and voters who say the lack of paper ballots undermines the voting process.

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.

CISA officials want to review the information in the report and help Dominion resolve the vulnerabilities identified before the report is released. They said they weren’t able to provide a date by which they’ll be finished.

Totenberg must weigh the request against the wishes of Georgia Secretary State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican and one of the defendants, who called in late January for the release to happen immediately.

How convenient. Almost an admission to the report contents.

If hackers would be able to interfere with the election, if the report was released, doesn’t that prove that the machines ‘are connected’ to the internet?

So let me get this, Biden administration is asking the court to not release a secret report about a voting system which would enable it to be hacked, even though the narrative is the dominion machines have no access to the internet which would enable them to be hacked.

Right.

Biden just admitted they were actually hacked.

This administration doesn't have standing in this case.

They insist there was no fraud, so their objections are mute.

Now, WHY would an administration prohibit the release of a voting machine report???

After all, that system said that they got more votes than ANYONE, EVER…

You’d think they’d be proud to show off how great it is..

So we as taxpayers paid for the Dominion machines, paid for the report, and are being denied our report by people paid with our tax dollars. A report about the security of our vote. How communist of them all.

But... but... but...

I thought they all swore that the Dominion voting machines were not connected to the internet!

How could hackers "undermine election security" on machines that are all stand-alone and not internet connected?

Keep in mind the same administration also states there is no fraud and can be no fraud to begin with.

So what exactly are the defending?

Sorry, decrepit old fool. You do not have the right to tell the court what to do. Resign, old fart.

An honest media, one not exclusively populated with dishonest partisan trash, would hear this and at least begin refraining from calling any question of the legitimacy of the 2020 election “lies”.

Gee. It almost would cause a person to ask WHY PedoJoe doesn’t want the info released. I dunno... Maybe he has something to hide.
