Delco Council Told Unauthorized Software On Voting Machines — Delaware County (Pa) Council was told, last night, April 17, that there was unauthorized software on its Hart Verity Voting 2.7 voting system.
The software is MathNET Numerics Dll, said Robert Mancini of Upper Providence.
This is a dynamic link library for MathNET.Numerics and can be used for manipulating data, Mancini said.
He said it’s listed neither on the Pennsylvania Department of State certification of the system, nor thee U.S. Election Assistance Commission test report for Hart 2.7.
Mancinie said the machines must be immediately secured and that an investigation be conducted as to how the software appeared.
“This would include an inspection of the administrator logs due to the fact that software cannot be installed without administrator privileges and whenever the software is installed, that will show up on the administrator logs,” he said.
Secure build validation were performed on but nine of the county’s 428 precinct machines, Mancini said. These must now be done on every machine, he said.
He said a criminal complaint will be filed within two weeks against a public official in Delaware County.
His three minutes can be watched here starting at 1:08:56.
If we trusted the county, we’d chalk this up to something innocent.
As it is, this must be taken seriously and investigated.
What is the big secret with Fort Orange Press, anyway?
Excellent summaries of last night’s proceeding Bill.
Thank you!
The Delco Council, Board of Elections, and Bureau of Elections, and Director Jim Allen could fix this issue easily. Instead they deny it is a problem. Do they know better than Cyber Security expert Rob Mancini?
Mr. Mancini might also demand that the BOE preserve its records, so that administrator logs cannot be modified in any way.
Anyone who spent even ten minutes at the machine warehouse during so called L&A Testing knows there is absolutely nothing secure about the machines or the process.
