U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg has kept a report on a theoretical voting machine flaw secret since last summer, citing concerns that releasing it would fuel conspiracy theories. But her attempts at preventing conspiracy theories has fueled them anyway.

theoretical voting machine flaw

For now, Totenberg decided Thursday that she would keep the document private. But she said she would review the report herself and potentially make a new judgment soon—possibly as soon as Monday. “Georgia voters face an extreme risk that [ballot marking device]-based attacks could manipulate their individual votes and alter election outcomes,” Halderman said of the secret report in a signed declaration last year, asAnd facing mounting pressure—including from fellow Republican allies like Gov. Brian Kemp—Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger issued a statement Thursday urging transparency.

Raffensberger’s pivot may represent less of a genuine interest in exploring the revelations in Halderman’s report, and more of an attempt to call out Halderman’s bluff. Raffensberger noted Thursday he thought the report was not an “objective, academic study.” Totenberg has for months insisted that the 25,000-word report remain “attorney’s eyes only” and had resisted Halderman’s own request to make public a redacted version of the report to allow the voting machine manufacturer to fix any flaws.

Fox News is also watching the case with keen interest. They’ve been working to fend off a defamation suit from the machine maker in question, Dominion Voting Systems, that the news station had been spreading conspiracy theories about how the vendor’s technology may have contributed to election meddling.

I don’t understand why questions about voting machines or ballots always assume that the fraud would benefit Biden. Since the much of voter fraud has been by Trump supporters- I think it’s time for the Dems to start questioning the results of GOP victories. I am (kind of) kidding

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Georgia has paper ballots and after a hand audit they matched the voting machines
