For the last two years, anyone that has spoken badly about voting machines has either been sued or has been deemed a conspiracy theorist.
Just look at Lindell and Powell, both of them are facing a billion-dollar lawsuit all for saying that election machines are susceptible to manipulation.
Well, now Politico which mostly leans left has finally admitted the truth about election machines.
Politico recently produced an article titled “The voting machine hacking threat you probably haven’t heard about”.
The article goes on to state that modems that “send vote data from precincts to central offices using cellphone networks” can be a security risk and are stood dangerous to trust.
NEW – The voting machine hacking threat in the US "you probably haven’t heard about": cellular modems that transmit unofficial election-night results.https://t.co/wuOCO7Z2nO

Here’s the story from Politico:
here’s a largely overlooked hacking target that could help those who want to sow doubt about vote tallies in the November midterms: cellular modems that transmit unofficial election-night results.
The modems, which send vote data from precincts to central offices using cellphone networks, help election officials satisfy the public’s demand for rapid results. But putting any networking connection on an election system opens up new ways to attack it that don’t require physical access to machines, and security experts say the risks aren’t worth the rewards.
“You’re counting on a bunch of infrastructure to deliver data back and forth, and it’s well within the capabilities of nation-state hackers to break into that infrastructure,” said Dan Wallach, a Rice University computer science professor who has repeatedly exposed flaws in election equipment.
While tampering with unofficial results wouldn’t actually corrupt an election’s outcome, it could fuel misinformation about both the accuracy of the vote tally and the integrity of the process. That’s a particular concern since the 2020 election, in which then-President Donald Trump seized on large discrepancies between early returns and final vote counts to falsely allege widespread fraud.
At least six states — Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan and Minnesota — use modems to transmit results in a combined 36 counties, according to a POLITICO survey. Rhode Island uses them statewide, and Washington, D.C., uses them citywide. Wisconsin, which the nonprofit election integrity group Verified Voting identified as using modem-equipped devices, did not respond to inquiries about whether its counties use the feature.

As @mattblaze told me, “We now have to worry about anybody getting access to a communication network that is fundamentally open."

This is a good overview of the risks posed by the persistently bad idea of connecting precinct voting systems to headquarters by modem/internet.
Unfortunately, a month away from the next election is not a practical time to make changes, but we should really stop with the modems. https://t.co/kGSfQvCAtQ

The Gateway Pundit added these details:
This is just what we’ve been saying for over two years now!
And the fake fact-checkers and Democrat elites called it fake news…On Friday, after over two years of denying this fact, Politico reported on the hacking threats on election machines that are “too dangerous to trust.”
