Democrats can promise anything they want. The one thing they've consistently shown they can't do is deliver. They can't even deliver a win against the slobbiest politician of our time. (lemmy.world)

“It’s a lie that these machines aren’t connected to the internet. They're not supposed to be connected to the internet while they're doing tabulation—but you don't know what was loaded in there for the software.”

Mr Spoonamore might just be ever so slightly full of shit.

Dominion voting systems are designed and certified by the U.S. government to be closed systems that do not connect to the Internet. State and local requirements also serve to maintain air gaps for security.1

Air gap means no physical connection. Software can't make a network connection if there's no hardware for it to control.

Edit to get ahead of the questions: I'm aware wifi exists, my point is an air gapped machine shouldn't even have a NIC, wireless or otherwise. No NIC = no hardware for any software to make an network connection with.

USB NICs are a thing. I don't know the hardware honestly but that's actually a good thing. Def con has shown for years the security on these systems are trivial, hard recounts and audits should be common practice.
