Officials find 12 uncounted ballots in a drawer in race where GOP challenger leads by a dozen votes

A New York Supreme Court justice said that election officials have found 12 uncounted ballots in a drawer that could affect a race where the GOP congressional candidate holds a slim 12-vote lead. “WOW: Justice DelConte casually mentions an additional 12 ballots were found in Chenango County in a drawer last week,” said local CBS reporter Josh Rosenblatt on Twitter. “This is on top of the 55 ballots I reported were found last week, now making it 67 found ballots.” It never ends in #NY22. https://t.co/xMHjZrLq2w — Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) December 7, 2020 Of the 55 uncounted ballots found last week, 11 were found to have been cast by unregistered voters.

The news came during a hearing that Rosenblatt described as “contentious,” with incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi currently trailing GOP challenger Claudia Tenney by 12 votes. Tenney’s legal team has said that the court should certify the election results as they currently stand, arguing that the court does not have the legal authority to declare whether or not the ballots found are legal. All together, the uncounted ballots would be enough to swing the election's outcome. Brindisi’s campaign is calling for an audit of the election results, arguing that there have been errors in the counting process. The campaign pointed to Oneida County, where local election officials used sticky notes to identify disputed ballots. Judge Scott DelConte criticized both sides during the Monday hearing, accusing the Tenney campaign of trying to certify election results they know are inaccurate and the Brindisi campaign of fighting for recounts in counties they know are politically advantageous. “The one thing that I’m supposed to do is make sure that others follow the law,” DelConte told Tenney’s legal team. “It seems to me that your argument is: ‘There’s so many problems here. There’s so many issues here that you have to certify the results.’ Isn’t that what you’re saying?” “That’s the problem with your argument,” DelConte told Brindisi’s lawyers. “You pick and choose what errors you want fixed.” DelConte said he expects to have a ruling soon but wants to make sure the law is followed. “None of the lawyers here want to win a lawsuit. They want to win an election,” he said. “But the role of the court here, as I see, is to make sure that everyone follows the law.”

FireEye cybersecurity firm's 'Red Team' tools hacked in 'state-sponsored attack'

A multibillion-dollar cybersecurity firm specializing in exposing and fighting foreign cyberattacks said it was hacked by a sophisticated nation-state actor. FireEye, a $3.5 billion Silicon Valley company famous for helping governments and its large corporate clients respond to cyberattacks, announced in a blog post on Tuesday the theft of secretive “Red Team” cybertools that mimic a cyber adversary’s online attacks and assist clients with defending against them. Kevin Mandia, a former Air Force intelligence officer who leads FireEye, said, “Recently, we were attacked by a highly sophisticated threat actor, one whose discipline, operational security, and techniques lead us to believe it was a state-sponsored attack” and “based on my 25 years in cyber security and responding to incidents, I’ve concluded we are witnessing an attack by a nation with top-tier offensive capabilities.” He said, “The attackers tailored their world-class capabilities specifically to target and attack” the company. “We are actively investigating in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other key partners, including Microsoft. Their initial analysis supports our conclusion that this was the work of a highly sophisticated state-sponsored attacker utilizing novel techniques,” Mandia said. “During our investigation to date, we have found that the attacker targeted and accessed certain Red Team assessment tools that we use to test our customers’ security. These tools mimic the behavior of many cyber threat actors and enable FireEye to provide essential diagnostic security services to our customers.” Mandia added: “We are not sure if the attacker intends to use our Red Team tools or to publicly disclose them. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, we have developed more than 300 countermeasures for our customers, and the community at large, to use in order to minimize the potential impact of the theft of these tools.” He said that none of the stolen tools contain “zero-day exploits” — or software vulnerabilities unknown to a user or company which could be exploited by hackers. FireEye made public a host of technical information to help members of the cybersecurity community respond.

A Microsoft spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that “this incident demonstrates why the security industry must work together to defend against and respond to threats posed by well-funded adversaries using novel and sophisticated attack techniques.” The Washington Examiner was also told that Microsoft security consultants were assisting with the investigation and that the inquiry had already confirmed that the cyberactor was very disciplined and had used a rare combination of sophisticated attack techniques. Matt Gorham, the assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, said that the bureau “is investigating the incident and preliminary indications show an actor with a high level of sophistication consistent with a nation state” and stressed that “our adversaries are continuously looking for U.S. networks to exploit.” A spokesperson for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency told the Washington Examiner that “along with our federal partners, we have been working closely with FireEye to understand the scope of this intrusion.” CISA warned that although it “has not received reporting of these tools being maliciously used to date, unauthorized third-party users could abuse these tools to take control of targeted systems.” “We have seen no evidence to date that any attacker has used the stolen Red Team tools,” Mandia said, adding, “consistent with a nation-state cyber-espionage effort, the attacker primarily sought information related to certain government customers.”

There was an article a few days ago stating the monoliths were a promotional tool for Jeep. Still has me wondering what Jeep and Biden might have concocted. Seems odd they would chose this for a promotion after all of those Jeeps were at Bidens BS Drive In Convention..

Jay Sekulow — This is the one, this is the case we’ve been waiting for!

Jay Sekulow comments on the Texas case against Pennsylvania earlier this evening

“What is at stake here, and this is why I think out of all the cases this is the most significant – to be clear, there’s no doubt about it – this is the most significant of the cases that has been filed. It’s the most significant because it is completely outcome determinative. What does that mean? It means that if the Court were to rule in favor of Texas, those four states, the states named in the complaint, would in in fact have their state legislatures determine the outcome. They would pick the electors.

This is a lawsuit, of course, against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. It is original jurisdiction which means it doesn’t start at the district court level. It starts at the Supreme Court of the United States where it was lodged yesterday evening very, very late; actually by the time it was lodged, probably this morning. It’s a very significant piece of litigation, in my mind, this is the one.”
