2024 US presidential election: Did Kamala Harris lose because was the voting rigged? Accused voting machine company speaks

Following reports, the latest doubts are being raised in the US election that a federally certified test laboratory has approved calm changes in polling machines before the vote.The Watchdog claims that the changes were not properly tested or declared. According to a report by The Daily Boulder, Kamla Harris lost that election for Donald Trump, but critics questioned whether the machine update could have affected the result.At the center of the dispute, the Prof. V&V is a recognized voting system test laboratory. The firm approved the update to ES & S voting machines, which are used in about half of the counties. However, Lab Director Jack Cobs insisted that the updates were negligible.“There is really no change of any importance,” cobs told Newsweek via email. He explained that changes involved in replacing old printers, adjusting ballot coaches and boxes, transferring file storage locations and adding mounting brackets to machines. This information, he said, Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is available on the website.Concern on transparency and testBetween March and September 2024, Prof. V&V signed four updates for software and firmware of voting machines. According to a nonpartison watchdog, smart elections, these updates affected many voting machines across the country.Despite the scope, the update was marked by the EAC as “de minimis”, meaning that they were considered modest and did not require further public testing. Smart elections warned that the designation risks, claiming that it may allow malware or weaknesses to allow to enter the system without detecting anyone.In the Bloom Substack, dissatisfaction said, “These were not a minor twice.” “He also influenced the ballot scanner, revised audit files, and even the machines flagged by the CISA. But by calling him ‘de minimis’, he avoided full testing, public investigation and transparency.”When asked about such claims, Cobb told Newsweek, “Most of these articles are fully made.”The lawsuit demands completelyIn response to the controversy, the Smart Law, the Legal Branch of Smart Elections has filed a lawsuit in the Rockland County, New York, demanding a full hand of the 2024 President and the US Senate race. The court hearing has been scheduled on 22 September.What happened to the company’s website?After the election, observers said that the website of Prof. V&V became almost non-functional. “The website fell into a hollow shell” immediately after 2024 votes, dissatisfaction in the bloom said. By June 2025, it is an original single page.Cob replied that the site was only down for a few days in February and “has been running since then.”Trust in the system?Smart elections wrote on its option:“Why would we trust a company that has allowed its website to disintegrate in public for more than six months, to test complex electronic devices, which we rely to determine who controls the treasures, army and policy of our entire nation?Not us We do not. We do not trust these voting machines. We do not rely on laboratories that test them. ,The group is calling to replace the entire system with a transparent, verification worthy model that can publicly prove the safety of each vote.
