This is the concern. Vigilante county officials giving unauthorized third parties illegal access to voting machines. GOP is all in on the Big LIe and election crimes. They act like they're victims when they're simply losers. If you can't accept election results (losing) then get out of politics. Don't try to destroy the whole process or go to jail trying.
The CISA advisory notes that “exploitation of these vulnerabilities would require physical access” to devices and election management servers, and warns that “jurisdictions can prevent and/or detect the exploitation of these vulnerabilities” by creating rules that “that limit unauthorized access or manipulation of voting systems.”
The concern now, cybersecurity experts said, is that conspiracy-driven vigilantes now have unfettered access to a copy of Georgia’s voting software. Similar attempts in Colorado, Michigan, and Ohio have been investigated. One, in Mesa County, Colorado, has already led to an indictment.
The obvious worry is that these teams might find vulnerabilities and share them with hackers who can actually exploit them. But what’s really driving anxiety is that their sloppy computer work will itself plant evidence of tampering that fuels the Big Lie.
“Because these idiots are being idiots, when they do these copies they leave—as they did in Mesa County—evidence that this computer has been tampered with,” said Hursti, the Finnish computer programmer. “So now there is a claim this server was tampered with when it was actually the Stop the Steal people!”
