MS SQL Server can be utilized strictly locally....I guess the "Server" is a bit of a misnomer in that instance but it can happen.
I think the biggest news here is if all the MS SQL tools, or 3rd party tools, are available on that machine one would have to assume that someone had the security to use those tools which would have allowed them to update records behind the scenes potentially with no evidence left behind of what they had done if they were competent in the technology.

One thing everyone should know, if it has Microsoft hardware, it can be hacked by almost anyone, anywhere.....,

Please drop this. You look really stupid by propagating this nonsense.

Yes. But if it's not supposed to be on there, it's not supposed to be on there.

Why yes, I do.

Yeah it does matter. Because SQL isn't fricking "software" so much as it is a language for querying databases.
That's like saying OMG C++ was on the machines!

You don't need a SQL Management tool to modify a database. And if each machine holds a SQL database that enables remote access, the remote party also doesn't need that software as it's built into literally every programming language.
This is true, but this system DID have this software. So, they've shown a viable method of updating the remote database remotely via a single machine.
Many programs could have been used, but he existence of this software proves the possibility. SSMS provides a method and an interface. And, it's a software that is not supposed to exist on these systems.

From what I read, this software being installed would violate Dominion policy. It's not illegal to have it, but its inclusion on a machine would certainly raise a lot of questions on security.
If these machines individually count votes and store them in an internal database, then they would obviously need some database software installed. If they used MS SQL Server, they'd have to use that because it's the only way to run a MS SQL database locally.
And if they're running another database software than the MS SQL Server software would be worthless to change votes because different flavors of databases speak different variants of SQL, have different connection protocols, etc.

Powerman will be along any minute now to tell us orangeman bad and ask if we've ever heard about Russia collusion and hookers pissing on Trump because all of that is way more important than worrying about rigging election machines.

To be on voting machines. Yes! Thus it's certification. That means the machines lost it's certification. Thus the vote can not be certified.
This is not hard.

It's a language, not a software.
It might help if useless OP could post a fricking link so we knew what he was actually trying to talk about instead of listening to him vomit his retardation all over the place as usual.

So they have also shown that the machine was connected to a local network or the internet....It's hard to believe that these machines would be so susceptible to risk, but at the same time given what we are talking about it's not really that hard to believe.

I haven't seen that demonstrated. Again, if those machines were "dialing out" to update a remote database, they wouldn't be using SQL Server, they'd be using a MS SQL library in the language of their choice.
Same if it were a local database. SQL Server is simply the database software. Updates (inserts/deletions) would be found in software.

I'm not here to say any of that.
I'm hear to say OP is a fricking moron and is just vomiting bullshite that he doesn't understand all over the board and every low IQ person here will lap it up and every smart person will laugh him off like the moron that he is.
