these voting machines are just regular computers, probably running linux ... but who knows, lol...in any case it's not just a matter of sticking an usb stick in... you either have to be able to access the contents of that storage or for example boot up using the OS on the stick.... with some rudimentary security measures enabled, none of this should be possible.
yes, but all secure systems should not have boot from the external devices enabled - this is very basic. To boot externally you'd have to go to password-protected BIOS and change this setting. Not trivial at all.

Not Possible???
There is a whole portable operating system dedicated to doing this and it lives on a USB stick.

Just stick it in any computer and its all yours. Kind of like having a whole computer on your keychain.

two different things - my point is the risk these machines were hacked and thus Dominion is actually innocent , just negligent is improbably small.

since this was a different system, no it doesn't
