CannCon and Ashe in America welcome Phillip Davis, known online as @Mad_Liberals, for a deep-dive into election vulnerabilities exposed at DEFCON. Davis, a veteran software developer with decades in fingerprint identification systems, walks through how voting machines can be accessed and manipulated using readily available technician and poll worker cards. He explains the ease of altering ballots, prompts, and even candidate displays without leaving an audit trail, demonstrating how voters themselves can be unknowingly hacked. The conversation also unpacks the infamous Halderman Report, systemic security failures, and the lack of accountability in election administration. From Goodwill voting machines to encryption keys left in plain sight, Davis reveals how fragile U.S. election infrastructure really is, sparking a raw discussion on trust, oversight, and the future of voting.
