ESS DS200 Voting Machines Contained Active 4G Wireless Modems – Connected to Internet on Election Night (MI)

Established Fact

During forensic examination of an ES&S DS200 ballot tabulator, analysts found a Telit LE910-SV1 wireless 4G LTE modem card installed internally within the enclosure of the machine (Figure 5 in the document). This was not an external peripheral — it was a built-in, internal component of the DS200 unit itself. The card is described in the document as physically present and photographed within the ES&S machine’s circuit board assembly.
