  1. Security by obscurity is no security at all. I understand not wanting to publicly disclose some of the details. If might open you up to denial of service attacks, but even that should be planned for. If things really are secure, then a certain level of disclosure is good.

  2. The irony is that neither Lawson nor the judge are qualified to render valid or reliable opinions on the security of these machines.

    Law school does not confer technical abilities, aptitudes, or understanding.

    Lawson is in over her head.

    She wouldn’t know a byte from a boot disk.

    Truth be told there are very few people who understand the vulnerabilities of these machines.

    None of them are involved in this case.

    If the emails are that damning, then the vulnerabilities are many and the machines should not be utilized.

    A voting machine is a tabulator. Assuming the tabulations are correct then protecting the machine from tampering is the secondary element although from a security perspective it is the primary element.

    There are many reasons that the National Election Defense Coalition has concern.

    The more one understands about cybersecurity, the less they want to rely on electronic voting.

    Too many vulnerabilities and the stakes are too high to leave to private companies.
