President Donald Trump’s declassified document dump backing his claims that US election systems are insecure included a photo of the 1990s computer game “Doom,” according to Talking Points Memo.
During a Thursday primetime speech, Trump shared the trove of files allegedly substantiating his election meddling claims.
The documents included a January 2020 National Intelligence Council memo declassified by former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, featuring a “Pollbook Hacking Example” involving “Doom,” according to Talking Points Memo.
The photo showed an electronic pollbook “modified” at the 2019 Defcon Voting Machine Hacking Village to run “Doom,” based on press reporting from the event.
Though “treated as a serious example of threats to election infrastructure,” the image appears to have come from a tweet by user l33tLumberjack featured in a Washington Post article.
The National Association of Secretaries of State previously described a similar demonstration as “unrealistic.”
