According the the affidavit, the "witness" claims:

"I was an electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence"

Which doesn't really say a whole lot, because the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion[0] is:

"part of the United States Army's 111th Military Intelligence Brigade located at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. It consists of three companies: A-Alpha Company, B-Bravo Company, and C-Charlie Company. The battalion's mission is primarily to train Initial Entry Training Soldiers for Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) 35F - All Source Intelligence Analyst, and 35G - Geospatial Imagery Intelligence Analyst."

That group is a training battalion, not actively engaged in intelligence activities.

Thanks for digging out the details of hit credentials. It's possible that his credentials may not be as "qualified" to make such big allegation? I don't think I can make a judgement just based on the information you provided until I know what's his real duty and his past experience are. I tend to judge just based on the information he provided. And thanks to your other information, I see the flaws :)

Here's an "expert" affidavit that shows the name (Navid Keshavarz-Nia):

At least I want to know whether the system is really vulnerable, since if it is, it can go either way. Perhaps this should be another thread :)

>I see. Thanks. Before you pointing out that you have high confidence the person should be "Dennis Montgomery" I cannot see the relation. If so, those links are indeed related :)

Some additional information regarding the affadavit you referenced. It's a blog post[0] from the developer of the tool used in documenting the "evidence" contained therein.

Just to clarify, I didn't go looking for this. I ran across it while perusing the "new" submissions here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=smicallef).

Hey, thanks for the reference link from medium. That's a pretty good write up. I learned a lot. The author seems a bit biased though, when he claim quite strongly that: "Therefore, all the claims in the report about dominionvotingsystems.com — while potentially valid — have nothing to do with dominionvoting.com." After stating some of his own findings. I somehow feel like it's a hard sell to me that dominionvotingsystems.com is absolutely not related to dominionvoting.com given the name. And the fact that they used to redirect back in 2011 add some probability of the relation, however small probability you would weigh in for that addition. The changed of hands from Canada to US and back to China, does not reduce the chance of relation. If may increase the chance of relation given the company's footprint.

In sum, I can now see that this affidavit drew weak connections and made strong conclusions. So the credibility of the allegation is not that high. But to be fair to the person, it is court filing and he will be accountable for lying.
