Sequoia Part 1 Those with access can hack with programmed ROM chip.wmv

Sequoia Part 1: Princeton University report released (10/17/2008) Video Excerpt of Shocking report on how it could be done is demonstrated on the Sequoia ABC Advantage voting machine. However, WinEDS central tabulator exchanges data before and after the election. This suggests that the data formats are at least similar if not identical.

The report states: Once installed, the fraudulent firmware is practically impossible to detect Once installed on a voting machine, the fraudulent firmware can steal votes in election after election without any additional effort; The AVC Advantage is vulnerable to hacks (fraudulent manipulations) in several different ways; Some of these hacks take the form of viruses that can automatically propagate themselves from one voting machine to another

If that wasn't bad enough, the Princeton study of the Sequoia system proves an even more blatant form of certification fraud: getting a system certified with one set of hardware and software, and then making undeclared changes. One smaller voting system manufacturer (Advanced Voting Solutions) has been thrown out in disgrace as a voting system supplier over this issue already.

The Sequoia voting machines tested in this video by the Princeton team are the older "Advantage" optical scanners. What we use in Maricopa county, Arizona are the slightly newer (mid 1990s-era) and were originally ES&S equipment (Model 100 (5.0.0.0) and Model 150/550 (2.1.1.0). In 2006 they were converted into Sequoia Optech Eagle (1.28/1.50).

Maricopa Countys Central count scanner Model 650 (1.2.0.0) all refitted with Sequoia software and now called the Optech 400-C central count tabulator with (WINETP Firmware version 1.10.5). . The Insight precinct count units, memory pack readers and memory packs are all new with the Sequoia Memory Pack Reader (MPR) (2.15).

Previous public records requests have shown that Sequoia has committed misconduct in the certification process for their overall system by withholding a software component (the ballot layout generator) from all Federal and state level (ANY state) certification. In short, that means only Sequoia knows how their voting system works, legally an anathema in AZ and most other states. Certification means an outside testing agency reviewed the system.

Much of our work in Maricopa on Sequoia is base on our finding from the February 06 Presidential Preference Election - FULL REPORT: http://www.bbvdocs.org/sequoia/Maricopa-County-Elections-Report.pdf (5,769 KB)

What happened when the screen went black? If this was an actual attack where are all the other people? How many machines are there in a given county? Machine numbers = A so (A x 420 sec) = ? Is this realistic? What about the other processes such as tally? Where is the blue team? I am not convinced. I need to know more how about a realistic CNN approach with the vendor as blue team.
