Security analysis of the Dominion ImageCast X
The biggest security vulnerability of voting machines are that a single person can count thousands of votes. And that is by design.<p>Election security is a confusing business. It is, by design, the only thing you should not trust your government with, because your trust in the government comes from the election process.<p>If you trust your government with the election, that&#x27;s a circular trust problem and it&#x27;s abused to the maximal extent possible.<p>Which is why voting machines can&#x27;t be secure, ever. Nothing the government does can truly convince the lay person it can trust a government provided voting machine, because in the security settings of election, the government is the adversary.<p>It is actually the only time you should consider the government as an adversary and malicious - because that is when you verify and force it to be good.<p>It matters less to win the election than to know that the government is accountable to the majority. I prefer the opposite political side to win in an accountable and trustworthy way (such as that I know their interest align with the majority of the population) than to have my side win and then answer to no one.
