Does the FTP server print out paper ballots which voters then review and manually scan in a machine? If not then it's totally irrelevant.

  For early voting reports. Paper ballots are tallied for official results. A vulnerability in the FTP software, which I don't believe you've provided any proof was actually exploited in the wild during the elections, makes 0 difference to official results.

    They never claimed it was exploited in the wild nor that it affected the results of the 2020 US election .

      I mean that was obviously the implication of the original comment in this chain.

        No, no it wasn't. Like the previous poster (ficklepickle), I didn't read that the OPs post to mean that either.

      Then what was the point of the comment?

        With all of the controversy (real or imagined) surrounding the recent elections I think the company who makes the voting machines having an open exploit like this is a bad look. No one is saying they were hacked this way but it definitely can be used as fodder to bolster election fraud claims (real or imagined.)

How do you think the tallied paper ballots get sent along after being scanned into a machine? FTP comes to mind...

  They are physically transported to a central tabulation center on memory cards. The machines aren't connected to the internet.

    Check out page 20 of this document [0] produced by Dominion. It clearly shows FTP being used to transfer tallied vote data from remote polling sites to central sites. Do you have any evidence to support your claim?
