During a hearing in the Georgia legislature on March 17th, 2026, a 40-year IT professional testified during public comment and offered to show the committee evidence of vulnerabilities in the election software they use.
Mark Cook, who testified as an expert witness in Tina Peters’ trial in 2024, used his time during public comment to offer evidence to the Georgia House Governmental Affairs Committee as they considered a Georgia election bill.
The online recording of the hearing that includes public comment contains the following from Cook:
“I have evidence right here, that I was hoping to show you, that can show that there are absolutely, and I know you guys have heard this, but I’ve got the proof right here, backdoors built-in to electronic voting systems that allow flipping, changing of votes. The testing labs all missed this. Then they’re blindly certified. Then we’re told that everything is safe and secure. It’s absolutely not.”
Mysteriously, according to the timestamp shown in the top right corner, Cook’s public comment at one point goes from 1:02:18 to 1:02:29 instantly. A cut in the testimony appears to have been made to his public comment.
Fortunately, Cook’s public comment was also recorded. The following statement in bold was removed from Cook’s public comment:
“I have evidence right here, that I was hoping to show you, that can show that there are absolutely, and I know you guys have heard this, but I’ve got the proof right here, backdoors built-in to electronic voting systems that allow flipping, changing of votes, infiltrating the system, all built in, set up in a way that makes it easy, and untraceable. I can demonstrate this to you even while I’m still here in this building and I’m happy to do so. The testing labs all missed this. Then they’re blindly certified. Then we’re told that everything is safe and secure. It’s absolutely not.”
Watch below for the cut as well as the testimony as it occurred in full:
Georgia House Governmental Affairs CENSORED my Dominion backdoor public testimony—10 seconds SLICED OUT mid-sentence!
That’s the EXACT part exposing the truth they wanted hidden. Timestamps prove it. Everyone in the room heard it. ON RECORD.
So I recovered the full audio,… pic.twitter.com/OLSa614TCZ

Kari Lake, who is currently serving as a senior advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, asked, “Why would they remove this 10 seconds of Mark’s testimony? And who ordered the removal?”

These backdoors are not necessarily a new discovery. In Georgia, it was discovered that the encryption keys were displayed in plain text in the software. Phil Davis, another IT expert who previously testified before the Georgia State Election Board, discovered the password in an open records request written in plain text format.
The Gateway Pundit previously mentioned this discovery while reporting on the voluntary seizure of Dominion Voting machines in Puerto Rico following critical issues in the June 2024 primary election.
For example, Dominion Voting Systems were found to have their login passwords hardcoded in plain text on the software. Georgians made t-shirts with “dvscorp08!”. The User login “SAdmin” was available as well. This was initially uncovered by Cyber Ninjas during their Maricopa County audit in 2021 and was later discovered in four Georgia counties and two other states by Philip Davis.
In 2007, the California Secretary of State withdrew approval of Sequoia Voting Systems for the same issue: hardcoded passwords in plain text within the software.
I’m sure they have no idea that the hard-coded vendor password is dvscopr08! or that the encryption keys are stored in plain text in the election database. But even if they did know, they would never exploit that because that wouldn’t be cricket.

Georgians proudly wear t-shirts with “dvscorp08!” to Republican events as a way to bring awareness to this vulnerability.
Holy cow!
I am told one of the ladies in the IYKYK T shirts is Amanda Prettyman? Anyone know the other?
I want to know how they managed to get Governor Kemp and his wife to pose for this photo! Have they not heard what those shirts are about?
Details please!?

Marvin, you are woefully behind the times. These machines were selected by Brian Kemp, installed by Raffensperger and are vulnerable to election hacking by anyone with the passwords. By the way, the password is dvscorp08! and you can get it on a T-shirt in case you forget. pic.twitter.com/88dyFxnRlR
