New video provides proof of cellular modems in Florida voting machines

29. Poppycock.

“A vulnerability like this means there is no secure chain of custody for election materials in Broward County or any other county that has modems inside or connected to their election systems,”

The wireless transmission is not the sole defining data of election results. The paper tape(s), seen draped over the left side of the machine is an additional source of data. The USB Jump drive, not clearly seen in the video, but under the same cover as the printer, is another source. The total number of ballots counted is recorded and has to match the manual count of ballots issued as well as the number of voters checked in. The ballots themselves are the primary source of data.

The secure chain of custody is with the return of the other election materials to the central counting point. In the precinct that I worked, the transportation was in the trunk of my car, with the head judge right behind my in her truck.

Given that we have seen in the media that Florida counties have conducted recounts, the bit about recounting ballots is likely false as well.

Minnesota uses the same or slightly different model number ballot counters. I'm going to go ahead and say this report is a baseless distortion and wringing one's hands over a modem is utter nonsense.
