The key finding of the report is that the https://ndstudio.gov (DOGE-lite created by executive order[1]) has staging domains in the certificate transparency log for sites like https://usa.gov/passport and https://vote.gov. The raw data is here: https://thedreydossier.github.io/NDS_servers_map/

Note the sketchiness of https://passports.gov as it exists today in particular.

My personal take is that the administration has had no problems taking over digital/physical infrastructure in undemocratic and authoritarian ways. And, the fact that this "design studio" is creating staging sites for some of the most sensitive government services like voter information and passports is ominous even when we don't know exactly what the contents are of their redesigns. If you take a straight reading of the executive order there are 1,000 other websites that they could start their work on that are far far worse to use than https://vote.gov and https://usa.gov/passport.
