Dominion voting systems are designed and certified by the U.S. government to be closed systems that do not connect to the Internet. State and local requirements also serve to maintain air gaps for security.1

Air gap means no physical connection. Software can’t make a network connection if there’s no hardware for it to control.

Edit to get ahead of the questions: I’m aware wifi exists, my point is an air gapped machine shouldn’t even have a NIC, wireless or otherwise. No NIC = no hardware for any software to make an network connection with.

That’s no excuse

Really it’s just the gloves

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
