Dominion Voting Systems (view source)

A 2017 [[California]] Secretary of State staff review of Dominion's Democracy Suites system completed reported the machines were easily hackable. The review found security vulnerabilities that required management through control measures within the tabulation locations. One of these was that the ImageCast X (ICX) system runs on an [[Android]] tablet with no form of anti-virus protection which must be handled by locking the ICX ports with a metal cover to prevent introduction of malicious software. The review identified five instances of vulnerable SQL statements inside private functions of the ImageCast Evolution (ICE) system which could be accessed by a knowledgeable insider. Additionally, the ICX device automatically loads data or software from an inserted USB drive, reading it as an .exe file.<ref>https://votingsystems.cdn.sos.ca.gov/vendors/dominion/ds52-staffreport.pdf</ref>

In February 2020, [[PBS]] noted that Dominion Voting Systems is a type of system that registers votes in bar codes that the human eye cannot read. The news source quotes researchers as saying: "Voters could end up with printouts that accurately spell out the names of the candidates they picked, but, because of a hack, the bar codes do not reflect those choices. Because the bar codes are what’s tabulated, voters would never know that their ballots benefited another candidate."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/reliability-of-pricey-new-voting-machines-questioned|author=Bajak, Frank - [[Associated Press]]|title=Reliability of pricey new voting machines questioned|date=23 February 2020|accessdate=24 November 2020}}</ref>
''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' reported that in 2005 a concerned Florida election supervisor engaged a data-security expert to check the vulnerability of a Dominion Voting Machine. The expert hacked in, and by changing a few lines of code on the machine’s memory card, changed the results of a mock election. Although Dominion later insisted the vulnerabilities were fixed, the same expert said the fixes were insufficient.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-a-data-security-expert-fears-u-s-voting-will-be-hacked-11587747159|publisher=Wall Street Journal|title=Why a Data-Security Expert Fears U.S. Voting Will Be Hacked|author=Wolfe, Alexandra|date=24 April 2020|accessdate=24 November 2020}}</ref>
