First, the voting machines aren't plugged into the Internet. ORCA can't touch them. Neither can these white hats. Nor can anyone involved mess with proxy servers because said proxy servers do not exist.
Second, ORCA was not located in "strategically placed...three different states". One of the major flaws or ORCA was that it was hosted on a single server in Boston that was utterly overloaded on election day. That one server was on the Internet, and could be connected to from anywhere, not "three tunnels".
Third, any geeks who actually did this would describe in explicit detail the network and server configuration. This letter tries to paper over that massive failure with flowery language, but lacks the technical details an actual geek would use.
