    Detection of a WiFi signal does not mean you are detecting a specific machine’s signal. Mike’s drones will pick up the signals of every Wi-Fi hotspot in range. I seriously doubt these places are so isolated that the only signals around would be certain to belong to voting machines. Votes are often held in schools, libraries, city centers, etc. surrounded by hundreds of Wi-Fi signals. Didn’t the Fulton County tabulation happen in State Farm Arena? Their website says that building has a capacity of over 15,000 people. It also says the building is equipped with Xfinity WiFi spots.

    Even if you could confirm that an actual voting machine was connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, that does not mean it has outbound or inbound Internet access. Even if you could tell that a voting machine was connected to a Wi-Fi signal with a route to the Internet, you would still have to have software on the machine that manipulated the data. If the concern is that some outsider is getting in, there would have to be open ports on the machines.

    I wouldn’t complain if our voting machines’ software underwent static code analysis (it probably does, but I don’t really know that) or if its source code was open. If these machines connect to a network, maybe some packet analysis is in order. But you’re never going to snoop this traffic from a drone. This is the stupidest wardriving.

      I watched a clip of this event, and he seemed to be coked out of his mind. I’m pretty sure this is his last play to save his finances and not go bankrupt after he tanked his stupid pillow business by marketing it as a conspiracy pillow.

      It’s hard to feel bad for a man like that but he is not exactly a picture of good health

      In before he try’s to say there are thousands of missing votes because his drones saw more MAC addresses then votes counted. The logic will be “old people don’t carry phones so there should be EVEN MORE votes then devices!”
