In Episode 135 of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America sit down with special guest Patrick Colbeck to expose the digital vulnerabilities hiding in plain sight within America’s election systems. Colbeck, drawing on his engineering expertise and firsthand experience, explains how election machines are far from “air-gapped” and instead are built to be remotely accessed through components like modems and motherboards. He breaks down how design choices, not glitches, make the system susceptible to outside manipulation.

The conversation also touches on how citizens can assert their constitutional rights to free and fair elections, the media’s campaign of gaslighting and suppression, and why cleaning up voter rolls isn’t enough. Packed with sharp analysis and urgent questions, this episode offers a sobering look at the fight for election integrity in an age of digital deception.
