A noted computer security expert testifies in court that Dominion can remotely access election systems machines and software, without detection, in the state of Georgia. The computer expert gave a case of remote access from “Belgrade” – which he said he located in Montana, but on which he seemed unclear – of Dominion servers in Colorado.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger dismisses it as “recycled” falsehoods and “disinformation.”
The case is DeKalb GOP v Raffensperger. Relevant excerpt of the hearing follows, with the plaintiff attorney asking the questions and Benjamin Cotton, a digital forensic investigator, providing the answers.
Q: “To your understanding, is Dominion able to remotely connect to these election systems?“
A: “Yes.”
Q: “Are they able to do that without detection?“
A: “Yes.”
Q: “And are you aware of any instances in which that has occurred?”
A: “Yes.”
Q: “Can you identify those instances?”
A: “One would be the Denver, Colorado server was granted, ah, requested to grant Belgrade, only Belgrade, I did search, there is a Belgrade, Montana, again, while [untelligible] Montana needed to connect into a Colorado file transfer server as part of the election system. And there were other components and things that were done in the background concerning the database and the configure of the database server that still do not have an engineering changeholdover.” (Emphasis added)
Dominion’s main office in the United States is in Denver, Colorado. The testimony did not resolve whether the Belgrade to which he was referring was in Montana or in Serbia.

1. In the video, did this very capable computer security expert seem confident that he was speaking about Belgrade, Montana, or Belgrade, Serbia?
2. If he was aware of Dominion’s data center in Belgrade, Serbia, might that have made a difference in his assessment, or is the remote access principle the same?
3. Would Denver’s (apparently Dominion USA headquarters) granting of access to a server in Belgrade, Montana (population 10,460) be too much of a coincidence, given the location of Dominion’s data center in Belgrade, Serbia?
