An election expert has demonstrated the simplicity of hacking a Dominion Voting Systems machine by using nothing more than a pen to change votes.
University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman hacked the machine in front of U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg in an Atlanta, Georgia court.
The case is a lawsuit from an election integrity group seeking to remove Dominion machines in Georgia in favor of paper ballots ahead of the 2024 election.

The trial for the ongoing lawsuit against election officials began last Tuesday.
The plaintiffs asked Judge Totenberg to order Georgia officials to stop using the Dominion’s touchscreen machines.
Currently, the machines are used by nearly every in-person voter statewide.
However, that could soon change following the bombshell revelations unveiled in the federal courtroom.
During a demonstration before the judge, Professor Halderman was able to hack a Dominion machine with only a pen.
Halderman was able to change the tabulation of the votes as the court watched in amazement.

Halderman and Security Researcher and Assistant Professor at Auburn University Drew Sringall collaborated on a report in July 2021 where they discovered exploitable vulnerabilities in the Dominion’s ImageCast X system.
In June 2023, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia unsealed the 96-page Halderman Report – the Security Analysis of Georgia’s ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices.

The report confirmed that votes can be altered in the Dominion voting machines because the company’s software is vulnerable and can be hacked.
Obama-appointed Judge Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of the investigation of Dominion machines in Georgia.
She sat on the report until last week.
Professor Halderman wrote about the report’s findings following its release.
