I'm just curious who designed a voting machine to even have a USB port on it that's even remotely accessible. That's just dumb

I don't know if these are the same things, but do you not recall in 2020 the election workers that were literally plugging in unencrypted USB sticks to transfer the plain text countsscanned ballot images from one machine to another? And in one city all the machines were reported to have the same system admin password written on a sticky note. Most secure election in history.

Sometimes they aren't network connected and that is how votes are gathered. We can argue whether that's safer or not at another time.

Could at least put it into a locked utility cabinet on the box

Perhaps invalidate votes coming from that machine

Or you know, the whole election.

Dude, if you caught your wife smooching another guy, would you accept her protestations that it was just one little kiss, and only that one time? I sure as hell would not. "Honey, I was just tipsy, and I wanted to be sure that you are the best kisser ever! It was only the one time."

At the point where a guy has a USB stick which is capable of compromising a single voting machine and there is an easily accessible USB port ... any voter could have tampered with the machine.

You could compromise every machine in the state potentially even if they're air gapped. Stick the trojan on one, it jumps onto the USB they use to gather vote images etc and gets into all the others

He looks like the secret love child of Steve Carell and Shia Labeouf.

Only Richard Patton I can find in Pueblo Colorado in his age range runs a trucking company.

Who prepared the USB thumb drive?

When I first read the title I thought he was inserting it somewhere else. It's the male feminist way.
