Election tech is fine -- it's all those idiots buying into the propaganda that's worrying Jen Easterly
Some excellent guitar-playing coupled with great lyrics...

Lyrics excerpt...
...
Late one night when the wind was still
Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
The one and only time daddy saw it fly
It came from the east just as bright as a torch
The neighbours had a party on their porch
Daddy rocked the baby, mother said, "Amen"
When Halley came to visit in 1910
[Verse 2]
Now back then Jackson was a real small town
And it's not every night a comet comes around
It was almost eighty years since its last time through
So I bet your mother would have said amen too
As its tailed stretched out like a stardust streak
The papers wrote about it every day for a week
They wondered where it's going and where it's been
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
[Verse 3]
Now daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
To dream a little dream of a Comet's charms
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
In 1986 that wish came round
It came from the east just as bright as a torch
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
As heavenly sent as it was back then
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
Late one night when the wind was still..
...
Yeah, they don't write lyrics like that anymore.
One of my fav tunes.

btw, the Smartmatic charge your current alias refers to is likely this...
Smartmatic executives charged in alleged bribery scheme in the Philippines (august 9, 2024)
www.npr.org
... The president and two executives of the voting machine company Smartmatic are facing federal charges tied to allegations of bribing the former top election official in the Philippines.
Federal prosecutors in Miami allege that between 2015 to 2018, Roger Alejandro Pinate Martinez, 49, a Venezuelan citizen, Florida resident and co-founder and president of Smartmatic and Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, a Smartmatic executive based in Florida, paid Juan Andres Donato Bautista, 60, at least $1 million in bribes during his time as chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) from 2015 to 2017.
The alleged goal to bribe Bautista was to win business tied to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 elections in the Philippines, prosecutors said.
They allege the men over-invoiced the cost per voting machine for the 2016 Philippine elections and used slush funds and coded language to hide payments. ...
So, little-to-nothing to do with US election security.
