Previously, the file was signed with the certificate on the machine itself.<\/p>\n<p>It is impossible for a member of the SIC to manipulate the certificate issued to him, or the machine, unless he is some kind of computer guru. The probability that exactly in the village of Pamukchii, Novi Pazar, such a specialist has been found tends to absolute zero.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the probability of keeping copies of certificates distributed to the SIC in IE is not to be excluded. This would give them the opportunity to manipulate whoever they want.<\/p>\n<h2>An accident or a provocation?<\/h2>\n<p>The date from the future may be an incident or intentional insertion of such an error, for a certain purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The theory of an unintentional incident does not cancel out concerns that the controls at the entrance to the count did not work. If it is assumed that the wrong date was entered manually and unintentionally at the time of installation of the machine, then when counting it should be detected, and this did not happen. And here the question arises which more controls for reporting machine voting have not worked or have been excluded?<\/p>\n<p>The theory of deliberately inserting such a date has a logical explanation in the context of the struggle between &#8220;machine&#8221; and &#8220;paper&#8221; coalitions. The date of the future cannot go unnoticed by computer-literate people and this will pour water into the mill of the &#8220;paper&#8221; coalition: &#8220;Here you go, see? The results of the machines or the machines themselves can be manipulated.&#8221; Another useful consequence for the paper parties is that such a debate will divert attention from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.segabg.com\/hot\/category-izbori-2023\/videonablyudenieto-izvadi-na-pokaz-falshifikaciite-na-vota\">falsifications<\/a> of the paper vote &#8211; the protocols full of errors, strikeouts, disrespected votes and inoperative controls.<\/p>\n<p>There is a way to check and find the source of the date from the future and it is in the hands of the CEC. You can still check the flash drives from the memory of the machines. On each flash drive there is an audit partition that is protected by 3 cryptographic keys. It is necessary to compare the information from the audit share, which cannot be manipulated, and the protocols, which, as can be seen, can be signed from the future.<\/p>\n<p>Such an audit operation, however, is tantamount to opening the election &#8220;Pandora&#8217;s Box&#8221; because it can bring to light many other manipulations. No doubt the idea will face fierce resistance. And time goes by and in a few days the flash drives will be erased. Maybe on April 12th?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CEC publishes the election data in a machine-readable format. The data file can be downloaded here.
