pt 3/5
High-level view of voting system
EMS [Election Management Systems]
Mid-level co's (Harp [vs Hart?], 30+ others) use vote co's hardware & software
Vote co's: ES&S, Hart, SGO Smartmatic, Dominion, Premier (Diebold), Tenex
Central counting: pollbooks/voter rolls, tabulation/reporting SW, unofficial/official DB [Stored in cloud!]
-> Clarity Elections, Tampa FL - owned by SCYTL, Barcelona. 28 states use this ENR [Election Night Reporting] system
Clarity servers in Frankfurt, DE. ex: Dallas, TX .csv d/l, created +6 TZ _east_ = Europe
+GCR, VR Systems, Arikkan
-> to Associated Press or Decision Desk HQ -> media
bug/malware in Scytl allows capturing creds reporting into system
Official db -> Sec of State, but doesn't really matter, can go (((unofficial)))->official
Found ways to change votes at:
- Voting place
- Tabulation SW (ex in KY)
- Unofficial db
- Election Mgmt Systems
- Clarity Elections (its a mess)
