Anonymous Claims It Stopped Karl Rove From Hacking The Election By Hacking ORCA

[Evasporque]

360. vote totals are staged at the county level...something collects that...

Kathleen Nickolaus in Waukesha COunty, WI was found to of used Excel and Access to tabulate totals...she certified the totals and send the results probably via SFTP to a state staging area....

if software was purchased by a state and mandated for all counties to use (As in the case for Ohio) then the infrastructure is in place to tamper with totals...if electronic machines are used then the original totals from each machine could be tampered to backup the fudged totals later...the voting machines themselves DO NOT NEED TO BE ON A NETWORK...(but they probably have a private wireless network for collection of totals at the polling station then these totals are send to the central county staging area)

There is a data file of totals for each machine for each polling station, for each county....with redundant copies of each...there has to be...data does not exist as a IP packet...it exists as a file on a harddrive...

State IT will assume a secure VPN socket or WAN connection is secure...most counties will not have centralized WAN connectivity to state offices so vote totals go through the internet via virtual private network connection or secure shell (ssh, sftp)

If centralized software is used to the illusion of secure tabulation and transmission if hooks were put in place to allow tampering of totals early in the transmission chain it would be easily accomplished. As would adding a firewall to prevent such tampering...that is what hackers do...they build little versions of the same technology used everyday and disguise it to prevent detection...they can put mini firewalls, mini mail servers a host of things....all that needed to be done once they identified what port to block was to block that port and prevent Rove from tampering with a handful of county totals in Ohio.
