LaRose said a lot of people don’t realize that the equipment, which collects the ballots and tabulates them, is not connected to the internet. He said connecting a voting machine to the internet is a violation of Ohio Law.

“The actual collection and tabulation of ballots is a very secure process,” he said. “The security protocols we have in place are very good. I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding that the security work we are doing on the internet-connected stuff is a separate conversation from what happens with the actual voting machines.”
