Yes but the way they do things right now, it is evident that they tend to cut corners. You think the ballot counters have SSL certs? Additionally, it takes time to retool all the ballot machines to work in ad hoc mode, it wouldn't be as reliable as having a centralized control center. We can see what IP address they are talking to and instantly geolocate.
There is no way they could retool everything in just over a year to be ready for countermeasuring this in time for the 2024 election.
There is absolutely a way. They will just wire everything over ethernet months in advance so observant poll watchers won't see a bunch of wires being connected. If they aren't using wifi it won't capture the devices.
Then it will be obvious to spot the Ethernet cables sticking out of the machines so how could they try to say they aren't online? I don't think they even have Ethernet ports by law which is why they had to hide WiFi cards deep in the hardware.
Very good point. It would be a substantial undertaking to get all that done prior to 2024. And all we really need to do is protect 2024.
