I used a network sniffer while I was voting. I'm IT, but networking is my weakness.
My poll location was in the local library, so there's a bunch of wi-fi devices anyways. But there was one machine to collect electronic signatures (which was new - they used to always have people sign physically in a book), and one machine to count ballots. I don't think the signatures were linked to the ballots in any way, which I also think was new and odd.
The wi-fi devices, most were labeled library or library guest. There were 11 labeled as "hidden". Of those hidden, a couple were "Cisco Meraki" and the rest said "N/A". There was one that was "Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co., Ltd." That company is also known as Foxconn. Not sure if any of this is something to report or seems all legitimate. 🤷♀️

Ugh. I just realized I only looked at the 2.4 ghz band. Didn't realize the network sniffer app has a button to switch over to 5 ghz. Dang it.
wow at Hon Hai...so dumb of them
They produce a lot of electronic devices out of Taiwan, so not sure if it's something that should be reported or not.
I would absolutely report all of that. Put it on the record.
