by
A disturbing video has emerged that shows a hacker using a USB stick to override an election voting machine and change the system’s recorded votes in a matter of seconds.
The process was so fast that the hacker needed to slow down his software to demonstrate what he was doing.
After gaining control of the system, the hacker noted that he could “do anything you want” with the machine and the votes.
The hacker, whose identity wasn’t revealed, provided a live demonstration on Patrick Bet-David‘s PBD Podcast.
During the demonstration, he explains that he is using a simple “USB computer” device that can be easily bought online for around $120.
“If this had been an election, I could have gone to the database and, for example, change the votes,” the hacker states.
“How much of it could you have changed?” Bet-David asked.
“Anything,” the hacker replied.
“[I could] add a new candidate who was not even on a ballot.
“It doesn’t matter because if you have total control over the system.
“You can do anything you want.”
