New Congressional Democrat study lists Florida as a vulnerable election hacking state.

Florida is one of the "most vulnerable" states to voter hacking, according to a new report just published by the Democrat led U.S. House Administration Committee.

We hope that County Elections Supervisors like Alan Hays in Lake County, FL are paying attention to this.

Here is the link to the actual report.

 

Florida is a "Tier 2" state, which is defined as: "States that have significant election security vulnerabilities but may not

be planning on using federal assistance to address their biggest vulnerabilities."

 

 

 

 

 

Here is what the report says about Florida:

 

"FLORIDA

Current Vulnerabilities:

� Florida is using some voting machines that do

not have a paper trail.27

� Florida does not mandate post-election audits.

� The state does not require newly purchased

voting machines to meet federal guidelines.

 

Security Plan:

� While Florida has requested the $19.2 million

in EAC funds available to the state, Secretary

of State Ken Detzner is making it difficult for

counties to effectively use the money. The state

is requiring counties to submit a plan by July

18, and insisting that any money that is unspent

after this election cycle must be returned to the

state.28

 

Recommendation:

� The Secretary of State’s office should work with

the counties to make it as easy as possible for

them to utilize the EAC funds for the pressing

election security needs. In particular, Florida

should focus on replacing its paperless voting

machines and requiring post-election audits."
