The Biden administration is urging a federal judge not to issue any form of a report about potential flaws in the Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment used in Georgia, even though both sides in a court case over the machines want at least a version of the report to get out.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg is considering releasing a redacted version of a report from J. Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan computer science professor, according to Just the News.
Totenberg shipped the full, unredacted report to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, which is part of the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security, and has indicated she wants to give the public a redacted version of what Halderman wrote, Just the News reported.
CISA opposes that step, even though Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger supports the report becoming public, if only to prove his argument that the report isn’t credible.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the case have suggested Totenberg release a redacted version of the report within 30 days of when it was sent to CISA, according to The Associated Press.
However, in a filing last week, CISA attorneys urged that the court hold off giving anything to anybody until the agency decides what should be released based on its Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure process.
The filing states that “premature disclosure of Dr. Halderman’s report, even in redacted form, could, in the event any vulnerabilities ultimately are identified, assist malicious actors and thereby undermine election security.”
The filing states that CISA will let the court know when that review might be completed, and how much information the public ought to have.
The filing also warns that “CISA typically would not release a report such as Dr. Halderman’s at the conclusion of the CVD process; it would, however, disclose necessary information about any vulnerabilities and associated mitigations.”
Even the idea of releasing a redacted version did not find favor with CISA.
“CISA is particularly concerned about dissemination of potential vulnerabilities—even in redacted form—before CISA and the vendor have been able to address them through appropriate mitigation action. Such premature disclosure increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security. CISA respectfully submits that, in order to best promote the security of the nation’s critical infrastructure, any vulnerabilities should be disclosed,” the filing said.
The agency said it will offer a timeline at a later date, but suggested nothing would happen quickly.
“CISA is thus committed to taking these steps expeditiously and will seek to complete the process as promptly as possible. But the timeline also depends on the actions of a range of other actors outside CISA’s control. A 30-day timeline may be impractical in this situation, despite best efforts and prioritization of this work,” the filing said.
“CISA understands the urgency given the upcoming elections in which this voting equipment is presently planned to be used. Yet CISA can neither control how quickly any necessary mitigation measures are developed, made available, and implemented, nor at this time can CISA anticipate with any degree of reasonable certainty how long the process may take,” the filing said.
In the filing, CISA said that part of its review it must “coordinate between and work with the reporting source of the potential vulnerabilities (here, Dr. Halderman) and the vendor (here, Dominion), to analyze the potential vulnerabilities, including the risk they present; develop mitigation measures to mitigate the risk of the potential vulnerabilities, as needed; facilitate sufficient time for affected end users to obtain, test, and apply any recommended mitigation measures prior to full public disclosure of the potential vulnerability; and strive to ensure accurate and objective disclosures by the vendors.”
The report in question is part of a long-running lawsuit that seeks to change Georgia’s system for voting. More importantly, it is a piece of the wider discussion about potential election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
To date, no one has produced any evidence or documentation that proves the machines were tampered with in 2020. Dominion, which was the target of multiple post-election allegations, has fought back, suing several of those who claimed its machines were part of an election fraud conspiracy.
In its reporting, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has indicated that the Halderman report, completed last year, describes how someone could, in theory, hack the system to change votes, without saying whether or not this was ever accomplished.
“Georgia voters face an extreme risk that [ballot marking device]-based attacks could manipulate their individual votes and alter election outcomes,” Halderman declared in a signed statement filed with the court last year, as The Daily Beast reported in January.
In a news release posted to the Georgia Secretary of State Office website on Jan. 27, Raffensperger called for releasing the report — to show that its criticisms of the state’s voting methods is unwarranted.
The report is “not an objective, academic study by a non-biased actor. It is assertions by an individual who is paid to espouse opinions supporting the elimination of electronic voting systems to help a lawsuit brought by liberal activists, including one funded by Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight Action,” the news release stated.
“Sensationalized media articles and misleading reports from paid activists notwithstanding, Georgia’s election system is safe and secure,” Raffensperger said in the release.
The release included a statement from Dominion President and CEO John Paulos, criticizing the Halderman review.
“Security assessments of any system, including voting systems, should always include a holistic approach of all safeguards in place, including procedural and technical safeguards,” Poulus said in the release.
“There is a reason why U.S. voting systems rely on bipartisan election officials, poll-watchers, distributed passwords, access controls, and audit processes,” Poulus said, adding that Halderman’s review “did not take this approach.”
“Dominion supports all efforts to bring real facts and evidence forward to defend the integrity of our machines and the credibility of Georgia’s elections.”

Biden begs court not to release report on Dominion voting machines
Voting machines not connected to a network via any means and locked down so they cannot be changed from the screen are secure. If this is done, it is highly unlikely, and possibly impossible, that there are any vulnerabilities that can be exploited. If Dominion guarantees such actions, then CISA would have no excuse to block the release of the report.
Why should anything related to the counting of votes be redacted? What are they trying to hide and who are they trying to protect?
it was the evil ones getting together to help establish the NWO..all entities are in line to help fulfill the prophecy, news,sports,schools,politics,courtsd etcc people have been being put in place for whats coming. thats why term limits on every position is necessary
RHOADS SCHOLARS ALL
The Biden administration is urging a federal judge not to issue any form of a report about potential flaws in the Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment used for they prove that the election was staged since these machines were China made, the computer inside was programed for Biden the CCP BUTCHER and not legal for anyone else!
EXACTLY!
All of it needs to be released. I’m sick and tired of people hiding things from us.
If you only knew all of the dirty little secrets of the US Government you probably would not want to live here! That’s why the majority of the globe hates America!
there are left and right in the entire world,they have been made to hate america by pushing a farce that we are racists. if we are racists why is 1/2 the world risking life to come here,and no one wants to leave???? what they are doing is preparing to usher in the 666. beware. read the bible,its in there.
I don’t think it’s just our Government. They are all hiding things. They hate America for being successful up to now. They also hate America for our interference with world wide issues that are basically none of our business, like stupid wars that only make money for certain people in the arms business. I don’t really think there is anywhere else in the world I would want to go to.
Biden did not win anything!!!! Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin proved that without opening a Dominion Machine! Texas proved that the fraud for Biden also happened in the red states as well! Impeach the Leach and try him and Harris for Treason and execute them!!!!!
they will never decertify,they are terrified of civil war which is more likely to be carried out by mad leftists than mad normal people on the right. look at the proof,the riots of 2020-people were killed and nothing done.
You are overlooking 1 simple fact in your guesstimation!! The leftists are video game playing wastes of humanity, the normal people are ex veterans who do you think would win in an actual war seasoned military veterans or video game playing dweebs?????? My platoons motto was Kill ‘EM All and Let GOD Sort ‘EM Out! I was also CIA’s top ASSASSIN 1991!
The military doesn’t tell you everything about death they leave out the important information for you to find out on your own like the simple truth of when you take another persons life it binds that persons soul to your body in a lot of cases!
Thank you Bret. Finally some one who understands and is not afraid to say it like it is. Disabled veteran Vietnam 65-71
That is one of the reasons that the veterans suicide rate is so high the veterans are worn out from ghosts relentlessly messing with them for what they did!
Does the government do anything to help these people they trained? Does the government care about these people? NO!
Yes,. WHERE in the HELL is SCOTUS ? What good are they???
Except for a couple of them, SCOTUS is corrupt to the core! And dirtbag Kavanaugh is a RINO!
ADD HITLERY and obama to the list.!
Obama should have been in Prison instead of the White House for killing his gay lover who went public on a Chicago Radio Station! The next night after the gay lover went public on Barry the Fairy video cameras caught Barry’s Limo pulling up to the gay lovers apartment complex Barry walking very stiff with one leg for some reason into the building to the gay lovers apartment and knocking on the door and entering then you hear the guy scream for GODS Sake Barry don’t shoot me and then you hear Barack say get on your knees and then the loud Boom! Then you see Barry the Fairy wind sprinting it from the apartment like an Olympic sprinter to the Limo and scream at the Driver Go, Go,Go! Strange how he had no limp at all with his right leg on the run to the Limo! Chicago PD covered for him though by stating that all of the video evidence was not pertinent to their investigation, they ruled the gay lovers death suicide by way of 12 gauge shotgun to the back of his own head which could never happen in a million years!
Barry would raid the Highway repair funds from Chicago to buy a large salad mixing bowl every weekend full of cocaine for him and his gay lover! That’s why the roads were absolute crap in Chicago the entire time Barry was in the city office there before he scammed his way into the presidency! The entire Demo RAT party needs to be drug tested and fired!
There is only 1 company in the USA who does not drug test their employees and that is the US Government!
Even the military does drug testing but the low lifes in suits never get tested at all!
Well put. Both are traitors along with Pelosi. Warren, Waters. Schumer, the squad and all the democrats in congress. All should be charged and pay the price for their treason.
Trump had the perfect opportunity handed to him! Had I been president I would have used military law to hang all od the Demo RATS who signed the petition for the court case to be heard on the RUSSIA Collusion Hoax hanged on the White House Lawn using the UCMJ (Military Law) The UCMJ states that any public Official can be tried under UCMJ Law during War Time! It also states that there are only 2 possible punishments for TREASON 1 Death by Hanging 2 Death by Firing Squad! The Swamp would have been drained immediately and the RINO’S would be too terrified to want to piss the president off!
Interesting Anomoly found in the Wisconsin Fraud 100,000 people over the age of 125 years old voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 Election No human in America has lived past the age of 112 Years Old! Joe Biden supposedly won Wisconsin by barely over 20,000 votes so he obviously did not win Wisconsin!
The pedophile doesn’t want the info on the machines being made public because it will show how the demoncrats rigged the election. There is no way in hell 82 million people voted for that jackass.
Of the supposed 81-82 million votes for Pedophile Joe Biden. 75 million to 79 million are either.
Dead people in the grave ashes in the hands of loved ones.
People that are legally brain dead awaiting to be removed from life support.
Illegal immigrants who were brought into vote for Demo Rats.
The illegal ballot drop offs in the middle of the night.
The hidden boxes under the table.
Or the rescanned ballots over and over.
Exactly! And Biden IS a pedophile! And he flaunts his pedophilia in front of the world!
It’s Ironic how no US Citizen has lived past the age of 112 years old but in Wisconsin 100,000 125 year old citizens mysteriously voted for Biden! Someone needs to be charged with mass identity theft!!!!! As well as abuse of the elderly and dead!
BS-what it will show the american people that trump was right just like the spying done that was just made public. people will not have any confidence in voting if it is not shown. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE???? the public wants to know.
And if the judge goes along with Biden’s request it needs to be investigated immediately sick of all the corrupt judges
Knowing our luck the Judge would be a Obama Judge or maybe even a Clinton Judge.
The whole country knows that massive voter fraud played a major roll in the 2020 election, so why not expose everyone involved.
Biden is acting out of fear! With what has been uncovered in Arizona and Pennsylvania confirming some of the frauds in his election to now focus on Georgia and the election there alo g with the Senate runoff he knows that releasing the data on the voting machines will add 2 Republican Senators as well as the chance that he will be removed from office and tried for treason.
Biggest load of BS I ever read. FEAR is the predominant motive and emotion in this. They are scared to death of the implications of the results of this study. Why should anything be redacted??? The government is, by definition, Of, By, and For the People, not the politicians and vendors. There is nothing in this report that should not be made known to the voting public. We have a right to know what happens to our votes in these machines, and if vote manipulation was happening.
Biden doesn’t want the report released because it could help hackers learn the vulnerabilities to penetrate the voting systems.
So they admit there could be vulnerabilities they didn’t know existed.
Banks have been hacked. Credit card companies have been hacked.
Hackers spend their lives finding clever new ways into systems thought to be secure.
The solution is so simple- TAKE THE ELECTION PROCESS OUT OF CYBERSPACE:
Paper ballots and machines that don’t use the internet to count them.
i worked at a modern prison and when the electrical went down,the doors wouldnt open so we would have to go to old reliable and use backup keys. paper ballots are old reliable. one person/one vote.
SO? BIDEN IS A FRAUD AND A HACK!
release the whole unredacted report. what are the Demorats hiding. What is jellyfish biden hiding.
his pals the CCP takeover of America
Biden and the Democrats know that all of the Dominion machines and the state election commissions are complicit in treason. I know it, you know it, MSM knows it and is complicit and REAL investigations show that treason. State laws on managing the elections and allowing outside connections to control the Dominion machines is a FACT. No wonder Biden doesn’t want information released. It will put half of them or all in jail.
That Georgia Vote was a disgrace..there are VIDEOS of poll workers taking suitcases of ballots out from under a table AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED….there is Ballots stuffing Videos…..all we…the American Citizens get….is……OH it’s all fine, nothing to see……THERE ARE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS THAT NEED TO SEE THE INSIDE OF A PRISON CELL FOR A LONG TIME….ARREST EVERY ONE INVOLVED..EVEN AT THE TOP!!!!
Fat Pig Abrams was involved!
Raffensperger called for releasing the report — to show that its criticisms of the state’s voting methods is unwarranted.Raffensperger made a deal with Stace Abrems for the election. Why isn’t anyone talking about that. He should be shot for treason.Does Georgia not know this?
Release ALL the dominion INOFORMATION! We want the FINAL PROOF the DONKEYS CHEATED and STOLE the election of 2020!!! USA USA MAGA MAGA TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP! FREEDOM FREEDOM!
All of the information NEEDS to be released as soon as possible. The judge in this case needs to give CISA no more than 30 days to review and release the report UNREDACTED!
INNOCENT MEN DO NOT ASK FOR THE TRUTH TO BE HIDDEN FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE…!!! INNOCENT MEN DON’T DESTROY AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND JOBS WHILE FORNICATING WITH AMERICA’S ENEMIES..
Agreed! Corrupt Pedo Biden and his corrupt Crime Family are all criminals!
Sounds to me like someone doesn’t want the truth out there for a sinister reason. All the more that we, the people, need to see and know exactly what went on that day/night. That decision belongs to us…the tax payers. This is OUR nation.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg is an obama appointee so the report will be buired
Exactly! And Obozo is running the show! Not imbecile Biden!
This is more of their massive voter fraud of the 2020 election being hidden from we, the American people!! It has been proven over and over again that they had massive voter fraud in that 2020 election and they lie like HELL to us they did not!!! Let’s dump the whole CHEATER Criminal Democrat Party Mob along with its leadership all across our America and stop cold all the “suffering, pain and misery they have inflicted on us since they were elected in the 2020 election, in the 2022 and 2024 elections”!!! This will solve all our American government problems we have today!!!!………..
If the system is safe and secure as Raffensberger claims, there are no reasons not to release it!
If there is Even a Hint that these Machines are Vulnerable Why the Phuck are They being Used? Get Rid of the Machines and Go back to the Secure and Safe Paper Ballot! One paper ballot, One Voter, One vote, Period!
And if they don’t have a voters registration card and state issued photo ID no vote TOO DAMN BAD. They have 2 – 4 years to get registered an obtain an ID. IF they can’t come up with $10 over a 2-year period maybe they shouldn’t be voting anyway.
They do not want this released because it would put the final nail in Biden’s coffin. We all know he dose not want that
Interesting – the same people who rant about Trump’s taxes DON’T want you looking at their vote counting machines, So much for all of THEIR bulls**t about ‘Transparency”.
