It didn’t “go missing” it was stolen.
I just wonder if this the. Only one I don’t live in Michigan I live in Vermont I would know what to do with I am not geek comes to electronics
Stolen to be donated to goodwill store?
probably used as the connection machine then wiped clean after altering certain results.

@Texmenistan Cope harder kid.
It’s crazy that the guy who bought it second is a Professional white hat and spent quite a bit of time at Def Con this year working on a election system trying to find flaws.
He’s actually one of the good guys, I’m sure when he made the call he had purchased it on Ebay a LOT of bells went off 🤣
Harri Hursti is a Finnish programmer who specializes in election integrity. Yes, it took a Finnish man in Connecticut buying on eBay to alert election officials in Michigan that a voting machine was stolen!
@ChickenMcThiccken they pretty much answered those questions in the video. It’s possible the Goodwill didn’t even know it was a voting machine and the guy who bought it didn’t know it was a voting machine either.
@SeanPat1001 actually the guy buying it did know , at first he thought it was a computer when he saw it on the Goodwill site but then on the corner he saw it said Dominion voting .
@ChickenMcThiccken I work in a county elections department and the story from the guy who bought it from Goodwill sounds very plausible. To most people, Dominion ICX machines just look like a big computer monitor. There’s nothing people can do with them unless they have a special access card and a password, though.
@shari .. yup, had that first guy contacted authorities, he might’ve gotten a Reward for alerting them of the Stolen machine. Those can not be sold in the Open Marketplace…they have to be destroyed or wiped clean before disposal, is my understanding 🤔
Hell, Dominion might’ve probably given him a reward
So basically someone analyzed the machine and gave it up.
Someone analyzed it? You know that how?
It counts, what is to analyze?
Yes, they were looking for bamboo fibers in the machine……..probably….
@Eddapults Tab 😂
Of the “Big Lie” auditors probably stole this machine.
Yes, sabotage at work here
That was one of my first thoughts. what great way to try and substantiate the big lie
Should be easy enough to trace it back to a county by serial number. I’d be staggered if they don’t have an asset register.
They already know what state the machine originated from.
We need to know if this machine was used in a Repugnant controlled district.
That’s bad for it to go missing/stolen without anyone’s knowledge. I bet one of clerks didn’t do their job, and is likely the culprit. This warrants an FBI investigation.
Donny probably had it at Mara Lago.
@derbuckeyetribe who should be trusted?
@LOCK HIM UP Never Dirty Donny!
I imagine that they all have serial numbers on them and it can be tracked. I hope they catch the culprit
@Stu Bonner Hopefully they can get them Identified and they can answer for their crimes. Have a nice weekend man. Cheers
That machine has a serial number, a way to trace it to Whomever was supposed to be securing it. Find Him/her and jail him/her.
yeah my thinking too. Somebody is responsible for the custody of that machine, that somebody needs to be fired ASAP & maybe jailed.
It is probably taken from some warehouse, where they store/keep these machines. Anyone that can open the door, has access to those machines. Unless there is a security system/CCTV installed, there is no way of finding out.
As someone who has worked directly with voting machines in my local county elections department, responsible for setting up and preparing them for an election I can tell you that there are numerous safeguards to each machine. Serial # of each machine, matched with the serial # for each data cartridge, matched with the person handling said machine to the video recorded of the transaction – all of this is stored in more than 1 place. The serial # CAN be matched to the corresponding County to which it belongs.
Antrim county!
@Leslie Propheter I’ll have to ask Hunter Biden about the conversion rate
Can all the zuck bucks be matched to all the ballot harvester and ballot mules?
Last time I voted, they let me take the machine I used home.
In Canada we use paper and a pencil. You got to keep the pencil, COVID precautions.
Take out the extra steps where all the shady stuff happens.
Same here in Holland.
Paper and pencil is pretty much the standard in most countries. E-Voting is also possible.
@Carolyn Merrick get a better spiel.
It had to have been stolen. Interesting to see how this story will play out.
Alas, we’ll never hear about this again. Soooo much going on.
Last year’s “Black Hat” conference in Vegas had ~12 of them purchased from Dominion, I’ll wait till they check the serial numbers and know who bought it. (I know at least 3 of those are out of commission, 3 teams failed by bricking theirs – not sure if any of the other 9 were in salable condition or not after the conference)
@Grunchy you think that is missing would not be noticed?
@Stu Bonner Yup. This reeks.
Did anyone ever say anything about it missing
Track it and you might find out more
Someone stole it and should be held accountable
Well, some local clerk’s life is about to get really interesting… Luckily, an apparently clueless guy, then a good guy got it… Dang folks.

@Follower of Jesus Christ yawn. And?
If he was a good guy he would have got it to someone who could let us know for sure whether something nefarious on a large scale occured
This clerk better have one helluva excuse. I hear a jail cell calling.
I guess that machine is like an “overdue library book” too…
Except that the “library book” was in fact stolen from the highly secure “rare book collection”.

Brilliant! May I add, ‘So sir, would you go to the library then for documents containing highly sensitive American Nuclear Weapons system data,’. It probably is registered as on the non fiction shelves , easy to find!
😂
@Follower of Jesus Christ Smh😏
I don’t imagine that Goodwill has security cameras that could be used to identify the donor. I suggest the local or state elections committee changes their procedures to protect & secure ALL machines at ALL times so this incident is NEVER repeated. This is NOT a good look on the State of Michigan.
No worries they can’t do anything apart from destroy the machine the person who did this will be found the machines has serial numbers and a log of who was around them.
Most/Some locals have cctv
@phriedokra61 My guess is the sheriff, if it is that sheriff, knows which have CCTV and which don’t, and picked where to drop off with that in mind.
Why does it look bad for Michigan? Did you watch the video? They aren’t responsible for the security of the machines between elections, the counties are, as it is in most if not all states.
Whoever did that BS needs to go to prison for at least 20 years.
Sold it for crack money
@Josh M hunter only got 1 small rock for this
@Brd Man Ha. Keep trying. The troll farm is strong tonight.
I still don’t understand how delegating national elections to the local level is still a thing in the US. How is the entire process not conducted and overseen by a federal agency is mind-boggling.
@jb888888888I wasn’t sure if I read it right, so I hope they didn’t think i was attacking them. Your state is 1 of 30, I believe that has this. The other 20 don’t. So, 40% of the states don’t give this right to the people.
100% agree. It is unbelievable that States get to decide which Americans can vote in National/Presidential elections. Every American, irrespective of where they happen to live, should be guaranteed exactly the same right to vote for their President and national representatives as any other American. States should only be able to make rules about state-level elections, not elections at the Federal level.
@David Warren Arizona has a two tiered system. To vote a “full” ballot you have to submit documentation proving you’re a US Citizen. If you declare you’re a citizen but don’t demonstrate it you only get to vote for President, Senator and US Rep.
You better believe they’re going find out who stole this and dropped it off at goodwill
1 Saxon Ray Fuk what you saying it here 😠 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jjyWP6ii-s
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 😠

Also seller: “I wasn’t even aware that they were supposed to be sold, let alone donated to Goodwill”
