Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software

Good piece from Kim Zetter at Motherboard
anyone ready for paper ballots under armed guard with triple counting and validation by all parties on the ballot? I am.
TLDR - 2000-2006, remote access software put into machines that aggregated vote counts and controlled voting machines, not discovered until at least 2012, source code for the software was compromised, elections since 2001 could have been rigged.
"The nation's top voting machine maker has admitted in a letter to a federal lawmaker that the company installed remote-access software on election-management systems it sold over a period of six years, ...Election Systems and Software acknowledged that it had "provided pcAnywhere remote connection software … to a small number of customers between 2000 and 2006,"...ES&S is the top voting machine maker in the country, a position it held in the years 2000-2006 when it was installing pcAnywhere on its systems. The company's machines were used statewide in a number of states, and at least 60 percent of ballots cast in the US in 2006 were tabulated on ES&S election-management systems...Election-management systems...sit in county election offices and contain software that in some counties is used to program all the voting machines used in the county; the systems also tabulate final results aggregated from voting machines...ES&S customers who had pcAnywhere installed also had modems on their election-management systems so ES&S technicians could dial into the systems...hackers stole the source code for the pcAnyhere software, though the public didn’t learn of this until years later in 2012 when a hacker posted some of the source code online...Around this same time, security researchers discovered a critical vulnerability in pcAnywhere that would allow an attacker to seize control of a system that had the software installed on it, without needing to authenticate themselves to the system with a password....Douglas Jones, professor of computer science at the University of Iowa and a longtime expert on voting machines confirmed that other companies did routinely install remote-access software during this period...“Certainly, [Diebold Election Systems] did the same, and I'd assume the others did too,” he told Motherboard. “In the case of [Diebold], many of their contracts with customers included the requirement of a remote-login port allowing [the company] to have remote access to the customer system in order to allow customer support.”"
I think Diebold is owned / controlled by Soros. Not sure about ES&S. Diebold required remote access capability. Hmmmm

Wasn't some leftist union doing maintenance on a bunch of the ones out west?

Of all major industries to work in, one has to ask why Soros would want a foot hold in such a specific market as design and manufacturing of election machines.
Hmmmmm......

From what I can tell upon more search - Soros does not own voting machine companies, but some of the people that do are connected to Soros, such as sitting on the board of Soros' Open Society Foundation.
Seems like a distinction without a difference to me.

Hmmm. Have we had any precincts with 110% turnout since 2012?

Yes. More importantly, the machines can manipulate the totals so vote padding isn't needed. All you have to do is swap them over and get same total but different percentages. I would be shocked if at least one federal election wasn't manipulated by this.

Soros owns that company but Salmon said hes a cool guy

Doesn't have to be by the net only. Many machines were picking the candidate before one was selected by the voter or the machine picked the opposite of the one that was selected by the voter.
Plenty of articles still on the net about the ones in 2008 and 2012. The traitors behind the other events evidently didn't think they needed to do it so much in 2016.
That doesn't take into account all the illegals and dead folks that voted, folks that voted multiple times, ballot stuffing, etc.

Whatever states use computer based voting machines are just stupid or corrupt.

From the article, Diebold required remote access in the contract. And ES&S reported that their tech support had gone remote to the machines. Also, tech nerds know how to go online and find machines connected to the net that have a certain platform. From there they can tunnel in to find specific machines. Once they have that, they just go right back to it whenever they want. Beyond that, if there was something nefarious going on, the machine IDs would already be known and connecting to them would be easy.
In many districts where the outcome of a House election is 10,000 votes or less, you wouldn't have to get to too many machines to make that happen. And a few machines in red counties, making them a much smaller margin for republican will flip a state for governor or senator.
We should have paper ballots and every precinct in the nation should have boxes under armed guard by National Guard troops, that oversee ballots put in boxes, that boxes are sealed, unsealed properly, and oversee all of the counting. I would be just fine having to wait two days for election results as opposed to a few hours, in order to protect the integrity of the process.

This plus authenticated voter ID.
