A laptop and USB devices were stolen sometime this week from the Philadelphia’s elections storage warehouse. I went over this morning to check out the security situation. I was able to walk right into the voting machine storage unit, alone, for several minutes.pic.twitter.com/N0SpMMKP6T
City Commissioners told me this morning the stolen devices have been disabled & they do not compromise the integrity of the Nov. election. When this video ends, I ran into an staffer who told me press can’t be in the building. I told him the door was open & I announced my name.
This is the outside of the storage warehouse where the theft took place. I didn’t see any security cameras outside or in the building.pic.twitter.com/jDiBFICZjy
The staffer wouldn’t answer my questions about security. On the phone, Deputy City Nick Custodio told me that a security guard should be stationed there at all times now. He was not for some reason. I did see a security walking to the other end of the property when I pulled up.
There’s a man sitting in the door now, more staffers coming in and out of the building. I likely just walked in at a moment where no one is around, but the ease of access was still alarming to me.pic.twitter.com/YvZZhNiFoU
JUST IN: In response to the theft & my subsequent reporting from the warehouse, @PhillyMayor is ramping up security:
- Increased guards at the site 24/7
- Adding round-the-clock police presence
- a new logging procedure for entering/exiting the buildinghttps://billypenn.com/2020/10/01/philly-election-warehouse-security-theft-stolen-usb-laptop-vote-integrity/ …
Many ppl RTing this story today as proof of...something. A reminder: - this happened a month ago - security issued were fixed ASAP - warehouse primarily stored voting machines - it did not store mail ballots used in general election - no police evidence theft was elected related
Whoa! WTF?!
No one at the wheel!
