Security Experts Agree-Voting Tabulators Hacked-Penn [View all]

“Don’t give me that look, I get How it Sounds”

Spoonamore has served as a professional subject matter expert in the legal battle stemming from the 2004 Ohio Election hack, which has since been thoroughly documented. He also appeared on the Lou Dobbs Tonight TV show on CNN, where he discussed hacking, including of voting machines.
History repeats itself:
While watching vote tally data come in, Spoonamore concluded that vote totals in the 2024 General Election had been affected by a hack similar to the one two decades ago.
As a contractor associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies, Spoonamore has a Duty to Warn if he suspects a hack has occurred. On November 7, he wrote a formal Duty to Warn letter to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro with his conclusions about the election.
In this letter, he comments that the November 5 voter fraud was especially noticeable because the hackers “made a mistake triggering a system issue,” “the aggregate effects of the hacking creates results outside nominal expectations,” and an unrelated distraction (in this case, bomb threats) was “used to draw attention away from the hacking.”
“Here in Centre County initial tabulation was an absurdly low 67K votes when over 80K voters participated,” Spoonamore wrote.
In his letter, he states that Centre County’s “[ballet] scanner systems worked in testing, but were unable to communicate with tabulation systems after the bomb-scare. I note from experience—the failure of a scanning system to load a database is an extremely common development when a system is changed without notice to the users.”
On his Spoutable account, Spoonamore wrote the following: “Tabulation Systems at the County level were hacked far in advance of the election. The hack was probably written into the code even before the code was installed.” has served as a professional subject matter expert in the legal battle stemming from the 2004 Ohio Election hack, which has since been thoroughly documented.
