Days before the elections: GERB discovered a breach in the voting machines

We wanted to ask our questions regarding the security of the machine and especially with a technical possibility of opening the lid and not breaking the seals. Instead of receiving sufficiently reliable answers, he announced.

I want to emphasize that we from GERB have always been in favor of machine voting. It is quite normal that in our capacity as observers, we should have the opportunity to ask our questions. Therefore, I call on the Deputy Chairperson of the Central Election Commission, Rositsa Mateva, together with the members of the Central Election Commission and the representatives of Electronic Governance, to guarantee the security of the machines and not to raise doubts given the prevailing public interest in the entire election process, Paunov said.
I want to say that we, as a political party, are “for” the machines. We are technocrats, modern digital people. What worries us extremely much is the machine itself and the fact that it is not from our generation at all. We asked questions that are extremely justified. First – with a child's screwdriver we managed to overcome the protection of the seals and open the machine, and since there is no video surveillance in the warehouse, this means that for this vote, it is not clear when nearly 10,000 machines were opened, how they were opened, why they were opened, and whether they were opened. Secondly, there are nearly four hidden gates – two USB ports and one internet port, plus an additional power supply slot. This leads to the following doubt - can this machine connect to the internet wirelessly, although we are assured that all ports are blocked?, explained Vladimir Temelkov.
