Hackers how found vulnerabilities in election machines that will be used in 2024. Can we trust that our elections are secure?
From Just the News. Hackers at a conference last weekend found numerous vulnerabilities in election machines while the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) confirmed that current voting systems to be used in the November election have not been tested by third parties for vulnerabilities. …
Who is praying on the wall?
At the annual DEF CON hacker conference in Las Vegas this past weekend, hackers hacked into election equipment from various manufacturers, including voting machines, e-pollbooks, and ballot tabulators, according to Politico. …
DEF CON Voting Village co-founder Harri Hursti told Politico on Saturday that there were “multiple pages” worth of vulnerabilities found in election machines, which was similar to previous years and will be detailed in a full report in the coming weeks.
“If you don’t think this kind of place is running 24/7 in China, Russia, you’re kidding yourselves,” Hursti said. “We are here only for two and a half days, and we find stuff…it would be stupid to assume that the adversaries don’t have absolute access to everything.” …
Politico also reported that most of the machines tested at DEF CON “are used in at least one jurisdiction around the U.S.”
One state in particular has had election machine vulnerabilities for the past three years that will not be fixed before November.
In June 2023, a nearly 2-year-old report was finally made public arising from a Georgia lawsuit that showed Dominion voting machines had significant vulnerabilities, which led the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to issue a public advisory in 2022 based on the findings. …
However, Georgia election officials said last year that the machines won’t be updated until after the 2024 elections because it’s such a massive undertaking. …
EAC Vice Chair Donald Palmer told Just the News on Wednesday that Georgia in particular has had issues updating its Dominion Voting Systems equipment due to a lack of resources. While the EAC tested and updated the Dominion machine, Georgia is having a “funding and timing issue” with it, Palmer said. The state needs to allow for “access to the machines for a length of time.”
Regarding last weekend’s hackers conference, Palmer mentioned that “the systems that are being tested at DEF CON are not the frontline systems.”
The voting systems at DEF CON are not updated or “certified to EAC standards” as they are “not supported by manufacturers,” Palmer said. …
Currently, for voting systems to receive EAC certification, they go through “penetration testing,” where they ensure that “any known vulnerability has been resolved,” Palmer said. This testing is only for voting machines and ballot tabulators.
EAC certification of election equipment is voluntary, but even if it isn’t “formally required by states,” the equipment eventually goes through EAC testing on the manufacturing side, he said.
However, Palmer explained that the EAC doesn’t currently test to find vulnerabilities in the voting systems that are being used. “Congress is looking at setting up a system where independent researchers conduct vulnerability testing” annually, providing results “back to the manufacturer and the EAC,” and done with the “latest, frontline voting systems,” Palmer said. …

Lord, I thank you and praise You that these hackers were able to display this potential issue prior to the election takes place in November. Please, make a way for this potential problem to be resolved before November 5th. Thank you Jesus.
After reading this I prayed and opened my Bible. It opened to Psalm 115. Three times it says within this same Psalm ( vs. 9b) “He is their help and their Shield .” Then in 10:b, “He is their help and their shield. “ And in 11:b it says, “He is their help and their shield.” Lord God, in Jesus’ wonderful Name, we confess our national sin before Your throne of grace asking for Your “mercy that triumphs judgement” because You are a forgiving God when we ask with sincere hearts…You forgive when we confess our sin to You, and ask for Your forgiveness. Thank You Jesus for Your forgiveness at the cross. Oh Lord, be mindful of America, and help us bless You, Lord God, for You’ve blessed us for years. It’s time for us to bless You, Holy God. In Jesus’ Name help us trust and take refuge in You, Almighty God. In Jesus’ Name thwart the plan of all hackers who are planning to hack into the voting machines in America and around the world. In Jesus’ Name, may any an all attempts fail that are not legal that are coming against our elections and our democracy. ““No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord ( Isa. 54:17).” In Jesus’ Name may Your truth and faithfulness reign LORD Most High in this election. Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ powerful Name, help us not be shaken, no matter what, but to stand firmly upon our Rock, Jesus Christ the Lord. In Jesus’ Strong Name, I plead Your cause; Your Word over our election integrity: “The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing ( Ps. 112:10b).” Thanks be to You God, our Help and our Shield! Your will be done and Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven! Great is Your faithfulness to us, help our faithfulness to You, LORD, be great too! In Jesus’ Name I pray believing Who tells us to take courage and to not be afraid. Amen.
Voting machines need to be eliminated alltogether! Go back to paper ballots, in person, show ID and hand counted!
Father God, cause your righteous light to shine upon the tremendous enterprise which is a national election. Expose each and every unrighteous intent, process, and preparatory action. Make clear for all to see each and every intent to breach the elections integrity. Amen and Amen.
Just wondering?? What about an election law or rule that everyone must use paper ballot and mark their votes by pen ?
May God’s perfect will be done in this presidential election. Amen.
This problem could be fixed with one simple new law.
NO VOTE BALLOT SCANNING MACHINE CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE INTERNET. THEY MUST BE TESTED EACH DAY BEFORE USE.
60 Minutes segment 20 years ago PROVED how ballot machines can be manipulated over the internet and should not be attached for online access.
What’s new. Sounds right for this evil government administration. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Heavenly Father, thank you for every blessing you give me daily. Thank you Lord Jesus. I come before you today Lord, requesting your Holy power over our election voting machines this November for a fair and valid count of our citizens votes.
Only You have the power to elect our next king. You put kings in their place, whether good or bad. May your Will be my Will and may your mighty hand be over our voting machines in November Lord Jesus!
Thank You Lord Jesus! Thank You! I love you and in your holy and powerful and beautiful name I pray forever and always! Amen and Praise God!
Why is paper ballots considered outdated? It is possible that someone could still try to steal an election. But with paper ballots being signed by the voter and available to only American citizens it will harder to get away with stealing an election.
Since it is God who raises up and takes down those in governmental authority, our focus needs to be on being a nation He can bless. Instead of presuming upon His mercy and grace by asking Him to bless America, let’s do everything in our power in humility and repentance to make America blessable.
Absolutely time for America to bless God! The Bible tells us that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Amen
Father God,
We need Your supernatural intervention now. Secure our voting process so that only legal votes by American citizens will be counted for election results.
We ask for Your choice of candidates be elected to fill each position in the name of Jesus.
So be it and Amen.
Please pray for the honesty and fairness of our elections and then contact your Member of Congress and your Senators and ask them to pass the SAVE Act which will help stop non-citizens from voting in federal elections.
All elections need to be audited for this very reason.
The far left lie and cheat.
DUH, I ALWAYS KNW THEY WR THERE.CORRUPT OFFICIALS CORRUPT MACHINES. RETURN TO A PAPER BALLOT AND ONE DAY VOTING. NO MAIL IN’S UNLESS YOU ARE DEPLOYED.. DEAR LORD LET US HAVE HONEST ELECTIONS IF IT MATTERS. OR I KNOW YOUR RETURN S IMMINENET.BRING JUSTICE, MERCY AND GRACE.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Father God, in the interest of Truth and Justice, I ask that whoever attempts to use false and illegal methods of voting in this next election be used against them. That we have a secure and confident election in November and for unrighteous acts to be exposed before they can be used. These acts of fraud be used to punish those who seek to destroy our country through falsifying documents and illegal use of voting and tabulating machines. Seeing that Justice is served in every instance to let those who do these things know it is no longer accepted. As always we ask for your help in these matters in Jesus name, amen
Please God protect our voting rights .Let those that evil who won’t to change our nation to be fully exposed. In Jesus name we pray
This is terrible. An injustice to America. This must be fixed before November or we must vote another way insane
Dear God, America needs your intervention to reach the hearts of those who are drunk with wielding power and devious schemes to cheat in our elections. This must be fought by the Holy Spirit and through your guidance. Protect us as we encourage our friends and family to legally register to vote to elect the next President and Vice President. Remind us of the importance of voting down ballot for US House of Representatives, US Senators and local officials. Help us to be alert to any fraudulent activity and to speak up immediately to expose it.
Dearest Heavenly Father: We know YOU alone are the only one we can trust. Man and his machines are so fallible, so easily swayed and compromised. We pray your Will over our lives, over our elections. We ask that you continue to take what the devil means for harm of your followers and turn it into good. Greater is he that is in us than he that is in this world. We declare your word and Will over America and Israel. We declare your word, your promises for your people and we will stand on those. No weapons formed against us will prosper. We declare Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is. YOU ARE OUR HOPE. Our Anchor, Our Rock and Our Salvation. We exalt you. To God be all Glory, Honor, Power and Praise. You are an AWESOME GOD, worthy to be praised.
