Georgia a Prime Target for Election Fraud
My technical findings leave Georgia voters with greatly diminished grounds to be confident that the votes they cast on the ICX BMD are secured, that their votes will be counted correctly, or that any future elections conducted using Georgia’s universal-BMD [Ballot-Marking Device] system will be reasonably secure from attack and produce the correct results. No grand conspiracies would be necessary to commit large-scale fraud, but rather only moderate technical skills of the kind that attackers who are likely to target Georgia’s elections already possess. Unfortunately, even if such an attack never comes, the fact that Georgia’s BMDs are so vulnerable is all but certain to be exploited by partisan actors to suppress voter participation and cast doubt on the legitimacy of election results. […]
As of November 2020, approximately 24 states used one or more components of the Dominion Democracy Suite voting system [88], which encompasses various models and versions of ballot scanners, BMDs, and election management system software. Georgia uses Democracy Suite version 5.5{A, including ImageCast X Prime (ICX) BMDs, ImageCast Precinct (ICP) precinct-count optical scanners, ImageCast Central (ICC) central-count optical scanners, and the Democracy Suite EMS.
My analysis focuses on the ICX BMD. In 2020, the ICX was used in parts of 16 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington. Although the vast majority of jurisdictions provide the ICX BMD to voters on request to assist with accessibility, Georgia is the only state to mandate ICX BMDs as the primary method of in-person voting state-wide. […]
Notably, both styles of ballot manipulation are far greater risks when BMDs are used for all in-person voters, as in Georgia, than when only a small fraction of voters use them, as in most other states. When few voters use BMDs, even changing every BMD ballot could only affect the outcome of contests with very narrow margins, and successful fraud would usually require cheating on such a large fraction of BMD ballots that it would likely be discovered. This makes the BMDs an unappealing target and reduces the risk that they will be attacked at all. In contrast, Georgia’s universal-use BMDs would be a very appealing target, since they expose all in-person voters to potential ballot manipulation.
Hackers Can Compromise Not Only Elections, But Audits
The ICX’s vulnerabilities also make it possible for an attacker to compromise the auditability of the ballots, by altering both the QR codes and the human readable text. Such cheating could not be detected by an RLA or a hand count, since all records of the voter’s intent would be wrong.
