Could Hackers Decide The Election By Changing The Voting Results In Ohio?

Could this be the first presidential election in U.S. history to be decided by hackers? In recent years, hackers all over the globe have become increasingly sophisticated. Meanwhile, our computer-based voting systems have repeatedly been shown to be extremely vulnerable. This is particularly true in the crucial swing state of Ohio. Several years ago the Ohio Secretary of State actually issued a report which stated that the voting machines used in Ohio are “susceptible to breaches of security that may jeopardize the integrity of the voting process.” This is very disturbing, especially considering the fact that both the Obama campaign and the Romney campaign pretty much admit that whoever wins Ohio is going to win the election. The state of Ohio has voted for the winner in every presidential election since 1964, and most analysts agree that the 18 electoral votes from Ohio are almost certainly going to determine the outcome of this election. So will someone be tempted to tamper with the election results in Ohio? Sadly, if someone did want to hack the voting results in Ohio it would apparently not be that hard to do.
Back in 2007, a risk assessment study was performed on computer-based voting systems in Ohio. That study was called “Project Everest“, and it came to some absolutely startling conclusions. The following is a brief excerpt from that report…
Unfortunately, the findings in this study indicate that the computer-based voting systems in use in Ohio do not meet computer industry security standards and are susceptible to breaches of security that may jeopardize the integrity of the voting process. Such safeguards were neither required by federal regulatory authorities, nor voluntarily applied to their systems by voting machine companies, as these products were certified for use in federal and state elections.
In particular, the study was quite hard on the voting machines produced by a company known as Hart InterCivic. These voting machines are used in Hamilton County, which is considered to be a crucial section of the state. George W. Bush won Hamilton County is 2004 and Barack Obama won it in 2008. According to reporter Ben Swann, there are some legitimate concerns about the security of these machines…

Americans are primatively STUPID & OBLIVIOUS. Their leaders and White Wealthiest are committed to Fascism and total control of th US electorate. Thus, with Sandy coming and the E-voting machines already ‘garbage’, this nation better get ready to accept the ROMNEY-RYAN BROWN SHIRTS…
How far did you make it in high school? I’m curious. My point is that if you can’t win an argument because the facts do not side with your opinions you become involved in name calling and racism. Yes, the Democrat Party is all about following their dear leader straight into hell if need be! There’s all kinds of evidence of his destruction of america and it’s people all over the place so why do you only read or watch what suits you. Read it all and find some intelligence for God’s sake! Our country needs to be united not having to fight our own people! We are definitely not interested in coming over to your Dark Side. Someone said today that looking into the eyes of terrorists and Obama supporters seems like looking into a deep dark pit of life without God. We know it when we see it. This is life we’re living not a game you play on your computer! The lives of countless innocent people hang in the balance in this country and all you can do is name call?!!!
Patty Roe, I can agree with most of what you say here but facts are facts, America is not united and hasn’t been since WWII and never will be again. We have imported far to many muslims and blacks that hate Whites to ever be united again for anything. Obama, Eric Holder and that bitch Hillary with her continuing efforts to subordinate our country to the muslim OIC (read Saudi Arabia) controlled U.N have had such a divisive affect on America at large that it will only be sorted out by Civil War II (read the book)There are far to many takers in our country and fewer providers every year to sustain such a welfare state and I personally am totally fed up with the amount of taxes I pay even though the greater part of my income is taxfree here in Afghanistan.
NO,NO you mean the obama brown shirts,obama ain’t leaving office he’s the anti-christ of mystery babylon,in revelations
Voteing should be done by hand and counted the same way with oversight and cameras. That is the only secure way to get a true vote.
If the hackers are patriots, they should not allow either Obama or Romney the win. Both are bought and paid for and will never serve the people or this nation.
tell that to obama and soros, he wants our votes counted in Spain now thats fair, and who owns the counting firm george soros get your facts straight
I hate to tell you this but everytime there was an election in our area I got to watch a bunch of men stuffing paper ballots in sealed ballot boxes. They put a lot of ballots in quite a few boxes. I even recently saw some comments on a post about the election of these two guys talking all this Obama hate towards Republicans. One of them mentioned that he worked for a certain company fixing these electronic voting machines and that “they” someone in a private clandestine type meeting was going to show them how to fix these machines. The two men talking in comments were from Ohio so I copied and delivered the site information and what was said to Ohio’s Secretary of State. I’ve heard nothing back. Who knows if they read my email or even investigated it if they did. It was very clear to me what these two were talking about as being vote tampering. I’m personally getting very tired of not being able to reach our elected officials to tell them about such things. They tell everyone to keep their eyes open and make reports of illegal things we see. We cannot get past anyone to get this message to the people responsible for protecting our votes.
Did you make a police report if not you should
Go to a news paper ask for crime editor
Call the F.B.I.
YEA and worse then that neither one is american born,obama is kenyen and rommy is mexican,ron paul is the only american……………
Those involved in voter fraud should not be fined but they should be deported. In counties where there are more votes than residents, that county should be excluded from the count.
Yes, so they can do the same thing to our elections that they did here. Didn’t you know that computers don’t have to be site specific to do damage? Do we really want to export people with that kind of knowledge to other countries so they can use it against us too?
brown shirts as opposed to the muslim brother hood
There is no need for hackers to rig the machines as the voting machines are already rigged to begin with.
And who are you insinuating fixed them? I’d like to know.
THE only hackers are the DOD,and MIRCOSOFT,every viris and rigged election can be layed right at there feet,THIS ELECTION WILL BE WON BY NONE OTHER THEN “THE ANTI-CHRIST HIMSELF”..OBAMA CAN’T BE REMOVED FROM POWER FOR 2300 days,so says the bible,THE BIBLE SAYS MYSTERY BABYLON WILL BE DESTROYED BY HIM, THEN HE’LL MOVE ON TO DESTROY HAFT THE WORLD…………so try to vote him out, it can’t be done and he knows it……..THE DOG AND PONY SHOW HAS BEEN ENTERTAINING,to bad it wasn’t real……………
