"One thing I think you all share is a desire to do the right thing. That is why I am compelled to warn you of a danger that I don’t believe has been fully explained to you by the Division of Elections, and to offer you some solutions.

Specifically, the wireless modems that some of you are planning to use to transmit election results utilize Verizon, Sprint, or other 4G technology. These modems are as hackable as any cell phone. Encryption of the USB flash drives and a digital signature offer limited or no protection against a nation-state cyberattack.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and top computer security experts have warned that these modems can be hacked remotely. The Center for Internet Security said, “When networked devices are connected to the voting system, this connectivity provides an access path… through the internet, and thus an attack can be orchestrated from anywhere in the world.”1"

Covered this EXACT same thing at the Cyber Symposium today. We are on the same side. It's time to UNITE and fix our broken voting system!

EDIT: the letter was from Ion Sancho, who sounds like he may still be around. Would be worth it for FL frens to be in touch with him I think.
