Ah, the voting machines. This is a trope that seems to just keep coming up, doesn’t it? In fact, about a month ago, we reported that that two Arizona lawmakers are seeking an injunction to prevent the state from using electronic voting machines in November, arguing they are not secure and fail to meet the constitutional and statutory mandates to guarantee a free and fair election. Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and state Rep. Mark Finchem, both Republicans, claim that the machines are untrustworthy since the companies that manufacture them have refused to make their system and software open to the public and therefore are in violation of the 14th Amendment. The injunction they are seeking is tied to an April lawsuit they filed calling on a jury to toss the machines.“Computerized equipment is vulnerable to manipulation by unauthorized persons, meaning the true results of an election that relies upon computerized equipment can never be known,” their lawyer, Andrew Parker, said.
It is now being reported that with midterm elections just around the corner, a new report by the Brennan Center and Verified Voting revealed that numerous states still use outdated voting equipment, which is susceptible to fraud and lowers voters’ confidence in elections.
According to the report, electronic voting machines have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, with the equipment edging closer to 10. Jeremy Epstein, a cybersecurity expert, warned against aging software, saying that it is “riskier, because new methods of attack are constantly being developed, and older software is likely to be vulnerable.”
As previously reported, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) warned that electronic voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems in at least 16 states have serious issues leaving them vulnerable to hacking. Dominion machines have been highly criticized following the 2020 presidential election due to claims of vote manipulation and illegal activity.
Election integrity advocates, like My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, have been sounding alarms about these cyber threats in our election process. Lindell announced his latest film, “Selection Code,” which dives into “what’s inside” these voting machines.
It was further reported that on Saturday, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced the upcoming launch of a new film centered on election fraud. “Selection Code,” Lindell said. “This movie trailer is out today! The president’s gonna show it here at the rally. Our real president.”
Lindell’s made the remarks during an interview with RSBN’s own Liz Willis ahead of an energetic Save America rally in Casper, Wyoming. “You need to share this trailer everywhere,” he said. “This movie… it’s Tina Peters’ story, but it’s also America’s story.”
He added that the film is also centered on “what’s inside” the voting machines used during the 2020 presidential election. “We have to terminate the machines,” he went on, “and we are going to do it.”
