Electronic voting Machines were never designed with security as the top priority.
​ California Secretary of State
De-certifies Voting Machines
In a 2009 top-to-bottom review of its voting machines, California's Secretary of State contracted with cyber security experts to examine their machines. The experts found that the source code of Diebold voting machines (the predecessor to Dominion) were so riddled with security flaws that their conclusion was that the machines never designed with security being a priority. After the report, the Diebold machines were decertified for use in California. Ohio has 12 counties that currently use Dominion voting machines. Click below to review the top-to-bottom report.

Vote Manipulation Found in Colorado Voting Machines
In 2021 and 2022, cyber security teams contracted by the Mesa County Colorado Clerk, performed extensive forensic examinations of Dominion Voting System (DVS) Election Management System (EMS) server and produced three reports with their findings. The findings revealed that the EMS contained unauthorized software that functioned as a backdoor which allowed a secondary database to be constructed in the EMS and that it was able to manipulate votes prior to being tabulated. ​​​​ The manipulation would not be identifiable to an election official using the voting systems, nor to an observer or judge overseeing the election conduct, much less to citizens with no access to the voting systems; without both cyber and database management system expertise, and unfettered access to database records and computer log files (many of which were destroyed by the actions of the Secretary of State) from the EMS server, the manipulation would be undetectable. ​It is speculated that the software inside the machine was triggered by an internal software program or by an external signal such as through a remote network connection over the internet or via an internal cellular modem (wireless modem) connected to a wireless cellular network that was activated by a cell phone.Click below to review the actual reports.
Georgia Machines Riddled
with Security Flaws
In 2022, a forensic examination of Georgia’s Dominion voting machines found them to be so riddled with security flaws that it prompted CISA, the agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with protecting the nation’s election system, to issue a security advisory alerting BOEs about the flaws. in December 2023 CCVO sent letters to the Secretary of State and the 12 counties in Ohio that use similar machines asking to have , the machines examined by independent experts, we were ignored.

Alex Halderman who performed the forensic examination of the Dominion ICX machines and presented his findings in what is referred to as The Halderman Report.
