CORRUPTION!

This deletion of logs is not a new thing with Dominion. It's a feature, not a bug.

Quote:

A review of court documents and sworn expert testimonies raise troubling questions about the Dominion voting system and its rushed implementation by the State of Georgia.

Among the many issues raised was the inability to accurately audit Dominion's systems in order to verify that votes were cast as intended. Audit and cybersecurity experts also demonstrated to the court how the Dominion system inherently prevented the successful use of risk-limiting audits (RLA)a method employed by Georgia during the recount.

Cybersecurity experts provided evidence to the court that Dominion's QR system wasn't secure, was subject to duplication, and that the ability to generate fake QR codes existed. A nationally recognized cybersecurity expert also found that during Georgia's August 2020 elections, servers at two county election offices he visited "enabled unsafe remote access to the system through a variety of means," including the use of flash drives.

This same expert found that in one of those counties, "server logs were not regularly recording or updated in full and that Dominion's technical staff maintained control over the logs and made deletions in portions of the logs."

Additionally, during testing in 2019, a Dominion system experienced what was termed a "memory lockup" after scanning only 4,500 ballots. An analysis from Dominion determined that a "power cycle" of the unit is required after scanning more than 4,000 ballots. It isn't known if this issue was fixed prior to the 2020 elections or if election workers were properly trained in the event the issue was still present in the Dominion systems.

---

That is Dominion saying that. There is no subsequent mention of corrective action taking place, According to procedure, a "fix" for that tabulation problem would need to be run by Pro V&V and ultimately EAC.

Quote:

---

The court also found that the manner in which the Dominion system functions failed to meet the requirements of Georgia election law. As U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg noted, Dominion's system "does not produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot or a paper ballot marked with the voter's choices in a format readable by the voter because the votes are tabulated solely from the unreadable QR code."

---

Quote:

---

While acknowledging that Georgia's Election Code mandates the use of a ballot marking system (BMD) as the method of voting in Georgia, Totenberg also noted there are certain legal requirements that must be concurrently met in the use of such a system:

"The statutory provisions mandate voting on "electronic ballot markers" that: (1) use "electronic technology to independently and privately mark a paper ballot at the direction of an elector, interpret ballot selections, communicate such interpretation for elector verification, and print an elector verifiable paper ballot;" and (2) "produce paper ballots which are marked with the elector's choices in a format readable by the elector.""

And as noted by the judge, the Dominion systems and equipment purchased by the State of Georgia failed to conform to the state's own legal requirements:

Quote:

---

Georgia's use of the new Dominion machines created a particular problem regarding the performance of a successful RLA, precisely because the system "by its nature, erases all direct evidence of voter intent." As Totenberg stated, "There is no way to tell from a BMD printout what the voter actually saw on the screen, what the voter did with the device, or what the voter heard through the audio interface."

This creates a situation in which auditors are severely limited and "can only determine whether the BMD printout was tabulated accurately, not whether the election outcome is correct." Totenberg stated in her ruling that a BMD printout "is not trustworthy" and the application of an RLA to an election that used BMD printouts "does not yield a true risk-limiting audit."

---

Quote:

---

During the court proceedings, two contrasting views were presented. Ben Adida, founder and executive director of VotingWorks, claimed that as long as "voters verify the text, and as long as RLAs are conducted on the basis of the same ballot text, then potential QR code mismatches are caught just like any other tabulation mistake might be caught."

But Adida's position was heavily criticized by Philip Stark, a "preeminent renowned statistician," who is the "original inventor and author of the risk-limiting audit ("RLA") statistical methodology."

Stark noted that Adida's premise relies on the assumption that voters will actually review and verify their ballot selections on their ballot printout. But "overwhelming evidence from actual studies" of voter behavior "suggests that less than ten percent of voters check their printouts and that voters who do check often overlook errors."

---

Stark has been approved as a participant in the audit in Windham, NH. When the guy who invented RLAa says Dominion is not configured in such a way to be able to conduct a reliable RLA, there's a problem.

Quote:

---

Additionally, Stark "categorically" disagreed with Adida's position that a post-election audit can establish that the voting systems actually functioned correctly during the elections. As Stark told the court, "audits of BMD-marked ballot printouts cannot reliably detect whether malfunctioning BMDs printed the wrong votes or omitted votes or printed extra votes."

Notably, Stark testified that "this is true, even if the malfunctions were severe enough to make losing candidates appear to win."

Despite the significant issues noted by Stark, the State of Georgia had already "contracted with Adida's VotingWorks for guidance in the development and implementation of a RLA."

Indeed, VotingWorks was used by Georgia to perform its risk-limiting audit of the Nov. 3 presidential election:

In Detroit's report on the $7.4 million in grants it received from the Center for Tech and Civil Life (CTCL), a voter advocacy organization funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, the city said that a new normal had been created with how the election was run in 2020.

"We created a new expectation for the public, because we significantly increased the number of ways [a] voter can vote," reported the city's Department of Elections in the CTCL grant report, obtained by Just the News through a Freedom of Information Act request.

"We have created a new normal in terms of how voters expect to vote in the City of Detroit," reads the report. "The funding structure established must be preserved for future elections. We are requesting grant funds for the current year."

---

Quote:

---

The grant reporting form includes a questionnaire. One of the questions is: "What did you do with the CTCL COVID-19 Response grant funds that you're most proud of?"

Detroit responded that the grant funds "allowed us to hire more quality staff because we were able to pay them more."

The city reported that more than three-quarters of its CTCL grant money ($5.6 million of $7.4 million) was spent on the category "Poll worker recruitment funds, hazard pay, and/or training expenses."

---

Quote:

---

In response to a question asking what Detroit would be able to do if its annual election budget was permanently doubled, the report said, "We are requesting additional Grant Fund assistance for the 2021 election cycle."

According to the grant report, Detroit spent $160,000 on ballot drop boxes and $200,000 on non-partisan voter education. While the total of all three CTCL grants was $7,436,450, the report from Detroit rounded it up to $7,440,000 in its allocation of funds.

2. Please indicate how much of the grant funds were spent on the following public purposes between the dates of June 15, 2020 and December 31, 2020:

$ Amount

a. Ballot drop boxes 160000

b. Drive-through voting 0

c. Personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff, poll workers, or voters 0

d. Poll worker recruitment funds, hazard pay, and/or training expenses 5600000

e. Polling place rental and cleaning expenses 250000

f. Temporary stang support 50000

g. Election department real estate costs, or costs associated with satellite election department oce 630000

h. Vote-by-mail/Absentee voting equipment or supplies 200000

i. Election administration equipment 350000

j. Voting materials in languages other than English 0

k. Non-partisan voter education 200000

3. Total grant expenditures on sections 2a-2k: 7440000

5. I certify that grant funds have only been expended for the public purpose of improving, administering and ensuring the safety of elections. Yes Your initials: JW

If all the grant funds have not been expended, you may request a 6-month grant extension which will give you additional time to expend funds for the public purpose of improving and ensuring the safety of elections in 2021.

If you request an extension, you'll be required to submit another grant report by July 31, 2021.

6. Are you interested in requesting a 6-month extension to your grant agreement in order to spend down your grant funds? No, I do not need an extension.

Here's an opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments! What did you do with the CTCL COVID-19 Response grant funds that you're most proud of? Given the COVID-19 environment and intensity of the Presidential Election, the the &.4 Million grant funds, allowed us to hire more quality staff because we were able to pay them more. The increase in poll worker pay amplied our recruitment efforts and we believe it was the singular factor that led to a positive election in 2020.

If your annual budget for elections permanently doubled, what would you be able to accomplish that you can't accomplish now? We would be able to recruit, train more quality pollworkers, which directly impacts the outcome of each election, especially during a Covid-19 environment. We are requesting additional Grant Fund assistance for the 2021 election cycle.

Any other thoughts you'd like to share? We created a new expectation for the public, because we signicantly increased the number of ways voter can vote. Without the $7.4 M grant funds, we would not have had signicant challenges, with the administration of the 2020 President Election. We have created a new normal in terms of how voters expect to vote in the City of Detroit. The funding structure established must be preserved for future elections. We are requesting grant funds for the current year.

Once a month, we send out a newsletter called ELECTricity, which helps election ocials stay current
with election administration stories, technology, and best practices. We also send periodic updates about CTCL's trainings, resources, and tools.

Would you like to receive this newsletter? Yes, I'd like to receive CTCL's newsletter.

An audit team sent to conduct a forensic examination of the 2020 election results in Windham, N.H. started the process off well enough on Tuesday. But by Wednesday, they hit a major snag: The live stream cameras that had been broadcasting the audit room around the clock went offline for close to 90 minutes, potentially obscuring any problematic intervention.

The team decided Thursday morning to reinspect the ballot machines on camera in an attempt to maintain observers' faith in their process. They needed to determine whether the machines had been tampered with over night when the cameras mysteriously went down.

---

Quote:

---

While the audit is focused solely on tiny Windham (estimated population: 14,853), the results could have statewide repercussions, as the AccuVote machines used in the town are the only vote-counting machines approved for use in New Hampshire.

The goal of the audit is to review the 2020 election results in hopes of finding an explanation for significant discrepancies uncovered during a hand recount conducted in mid-November at the request of one of the Democratic candidates for the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

According to the election night tally, Democratic candidate Kristi St. Laurent fell short of winning her seat by just 24 votes. But, after a hand recount conducted by the secretary of state on Nov. 12, St. Laurent's deficit widened significantly from 24 votes (.005%) to 420 votes (9.6%). The results of the race were unchanged, but the recount showed that each Republican on the slate had been shorted about 300 votes, and votes for St. Laurent had been overcounted by 99 votes.

---

Quote:

---

The audit team is comprised of Philip Stark, a professor of statistics at the University of California, Berkeley, Mark Lindeman, an acting director of Verified Voting, and Harri Hursti, a computer programmer. They are overseeing a multistep process, initiated with the bags and boxes of ballots being delivered to the audit location on Tuesday.

---

Quote:

---

The audit begins with a physical count of the ballots that includes tagging each ballot with a unique marking in order to confirm an exact figure. The ballots will all be imaged to ensure that backup copies exist, then they will be run through the AccuVote machines used in Windham in November.

The next step is an audit of the machines themselves, which will entail imaging all of the data and memory of each machine card and scanner. The programming of all four machines will be inspected to make sure they are all the same. And finally, the characteristics of the physical ballots will be inspected, including ink used and the state of the ballot envelopes.

---

Quote:

---

Following the Nov. 3, 2020 election, vote tallies recorded by three of the machines show results that closely approximate each other across all races, including the presidential. But on the remaining machine, the percentages received by the Republican candidates are closer to the percentages received by Democrats on all other machines (and vice versa). The numbers appear to be flipped.

---

Quote:

---

In the presidential race, for example, on machines 1, 3 and 4 the results for the major party candidates were as follows:

• machine 1: Trump 57.4%, Biden 40.3%
• machine 3: Trump 56.9%, Biden 40.8%
• machine 4: Trump 57%, Biden 40.3%

But on machine 2, the result was Biden 55.6%, Trump 42.2%.

Machine 2 also appears to have recorded a significantly higher "Overvoted" percentage than the other machines. The hand recount in November did not account for the machine patterns outlined above, but the hope is that the forensic audit will.

---

Quote:

---

The four machines being audited are AccuVote optical scanning systems, which were manufactured by Global Elections Systems Inc., which was ultimately acquired in 2010 by Dominion Voting systems. Dominion owns the intellectual property of the AccuVote machines and its related election management system, but did not manufacture the machines being used in New Hampshire.

AccuVote machines are the only legal ballot-counting technology in New Hampshire and were used in all towns and cities in the state, except those that opted to hand count ballots on election night. Any problems found in these voting machines could thus have implications for the 2020 election results statewide, including the presidential contest, in which Biden defeated Trump by 52.9%-45.5% in the official tally.

---

Quote:

---

The audit team has until May 27 to complete the project.

Despite the mysterious circumstances the audit ran into on Wednesday night, Hursti said he is "more confident than usual that we can have a good conclusive explanation" following the audit, though he "never guarantees" an outcome.

Meanwhile, in AZ:

Quote:

---

The Arizona Senate is considering expanding its audit of Maricopa County ballots cast in the 2020 election to include all contests, not just for president and U.S. Senate.
Audit organizers now say they want to test county voting machines by examining results from all of the races.
"We are looking with other companies to do a machine tabulation of all the races on the ballot to compare with the Dominion tabulation back in November," said Ken Bennett, who is serving as the Senate's audit liaison.
"We will be looking at the images of all 2.1 million ballots."

---

Quote:

---

The examination would not involve a physical recount like the one underway at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Rather, it would be a separate audit using digital images of each ballot, Bennett said.

The effort would, however, require a reexamination of the nearly 500,000 ballots that auditors have gone through since the audit began April 23.

---

Quote:

---

Bennett said the Senate is considering hiring a California company to conduct the digital tabulation, but he declined to name it. He said the imaging would be done "in the time of the rest of the counting."

Auditors said in April the recount of ballots would be completed by May 14, when its lease on the coliseum expired. But with less than 24% of the ballots counted as the audit takes a week's break for high school graduations, auditors have indicated the recount of the races for president and senator could last into July.

---

Quote:

---

The Senate has so far used $150,000 of taxpayer money. It hired Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based company, to lead the audit. Its CEO is Doug Logan, a Trump supporter who has espoused election conspiracies.

Two other companies are doing hands-on work. Pennsylvania-based Wake Technology Inc. is in charge of the hand recount, while Virginia-based CyFIR is analyzing voting machines.

I've gone back and forth on this as originally I thought only the Dominion states (or counties therein) should audit.

Now I am not so sure if limiting such audits only to Dominion and not ES&S, Hart InterCivic would present a full enough picture. For instance, the machines in use in New Hampshire are older, much older actually are Diebold ES2000s. Dominion acquired them in 2010 from ES&S under a consent decree between Holder's DOJ and ES&S.

At a minimum, any voting system company that is in the chain of ownership of what was Diebold's old operations need to be scrutinized.

Absolutely. It's not even about 2020 anymore, it's about midterms and 2024

Then they turn around and say they did provide that info to the "certified" "auditors" SLI and Pro V&V??
