In his latest "revelation" he posts a screenshot of "chinese connections to the voting machines"

The "ID" column is obviously a MAC address of some network device. First 6 characters in a MAC address are Vendor ID - checked 3 of theses listed in the screenshot - all are fake/made up. Is it possible to "spoof" MAC address ? yes - but it's complicated - and to keep it short, doesn't make any sense in this context (in general you can't see MAC addresses of remote devices - let me paste someone's answer:

"The MAC-address is part of the Link-Layer in the OSI Network Model. I wont go too deep in here, bottom line is, it's only used for communication in your local network, be it cabled or wireless. The point at which your computers MAC definitely gets lost is when it passes your router, the router only transmits the IP packet to "the Internet"."

virtual MAC IDs would also have a valid vendor, like VMWare or Microsoft of whatever. The ones on the "list" are completely made up...
