Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to “undermine election security.”

"Vulnerabilities"? How could there be vulnerabilities? We've been assured that there *certainly* weren't any in the 2020 election because Dominion was utterly trustworthy! Most Secure Election Ever!
ReplyDeleteWhy one might almost think that this report amounts to an admission that there *are* vulnerabilities, and that 2020 might not've been as secure as we've been assured...
The left media was all over how the machines could be hacked prior to the election. It was only after the election that they became "the most secure ever".
DeleteBiden administration fights to cover-up their massive election fraud. It can't be anything else.
