Hmm.

This is interesting.

Quote:

Uniontown, PA For the next three months, Fayette County Election Bureau officials will be hard at work preparing for their first Election Day with the county's new voting system.

Representatives from the Denver, Colo.-based Dominion Voting Systems met with election employees and Fayette County commissioners Wednesday afternoon to kick off the county's latest venture.

Founded in 2002 in Toronto, Canada, Dominion Voting Systems sells electronic voting hardware and software, including voting machines and tabulators, to municipalities and other organizations across North America. As of September 2019, Dominion voting machines are used in more than 2,000 jurisdictions in 33 states and Puerto Rico.

Last year, commissioners voted to replace the county's existing voting systems with Dominion, following issues with what Election Bureau Director Larry Blosser called "overvoting."

"Some cross-filed candidates would appear on the ballot twice, leading to more votes than were possible," Blosser said. "Some voters could take the time to correct the ballots, but others wouldn't worry about the alert and left them as is, which created a problem for us on the back end."
Quote:

The county previously used Hart Intercivic voting systems for 13 years, and Blosser said he hopes Fayette will receive a "better quality of service" from Dominion. DREs, or direct-recording electronic voting machines, will also be replaced.
So they switched from Hart Intercivic to Dominion. One would expect the county to maintain whatever info from the Hart Intercivic machines they needed and then turn them back in to Hart, right?

Quote:

"The voters should realize that this is a paper-based system with paper ballots, which will eliminate those problems we saw in the past," he said. "Moving forward, we'll only have one DRE voting system at each precinct for people with disabilities."

Dominion Senior Manager Jason Frank said parts of the new system will be delivered next week, and the outdated hardware will be put through the state's official decommissioning process.

"You'll receive a certificate of destruction, and they'll recycle most of the plastic and other parts they can salvage," Frank said. "There's a whole process, so nothing ends up in a landfill and all the data will be destroyed."

Frank will work with Pennsylvania's Customer Relations Manager Frank Dutton, who will serve as Fayette County's project manager, to implement the new system and teach election officials how to use it.
So all of the info is destroyed but is the software extracted before hand? Or is it bleach bit and wiped? And how much would Dominion be involved, if at all?

Quote:

"You all know what kinds of problems you've had in previous elections, and those should be eliminated. We're going to work with you on something we call 'train the trainer,'" Frank told meeting attendees. "We teach you guys how to do everything so you can then go and teach all your poll workers."

Part of that training will include working with example ballots in a mock election, which election bureau employees will build from the ground up.

"We're super excited to be able to come down here and work with you guys," Frank said. "I'm really looking forward to demonstrating how everything works and getting hands-on. We're excited to show you what we're made of."
Quote:

Blosser said the county is on a strict deadline to have the new system in place, as Pennsylvania's Presidential Primary Election is April 28.

"We've got a big job to do and it's complicated," Blosser said. "I hope the voters will be patient with us while we work out the bugs in the system so we can offer them something better than we had before."
Yeah, how is that working out?

Well considering Michigan bureaucrats and courts ignored the law as written in legislation, I hold little hope for honest transparent elections in the future.

It seems to be up to legislators to step in and write laws and back them up with accountability and criminal liabilities.

Quote:

Judge Elsenheimer ruled that Michigan's dishonest Secretary of State Joselyn Benson can initiate any type of audit she wants to, so her limited audit after the 2020 election satisfies the requirement that any Michigan citizen can demand an audit of an election. The problem is that Attorney DePerno has uncovered numerous cases of irregularities that would require a deeper audit, and Michigan's highly partisan Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has falsely alleged that she's already performed an audit on the election in Antrim County.

Former MI Senator Patrick Colbeck slammed the judge's decision, reminding everyone that a "hand recount," is NOT a forensic audit of the vote:

Supreme Court getting involved in state matters like this which I believe are considered sovereign could be a major problem down the road. Its a damned of you do, damnes if you don't scenario. If they don't go the way you hope, the republic is completely ****ed.

The original ballots that cannot be read by the tabulators have to have a unique number that matches the same number as on the duplicate ballots. Bennett says the original ballots do not have the serial numbers as required by law.

Thus they have duplicate ballots with zero reference matching an original And the early tally sheets for batches of 200 have a space wherein if a defective ballot is sent to duplication, it is to be noted on those tally forms. They are not so noted.

They can't match the batches.

16621-Duplicate ballots. That's what I'm attacking. If they can't provide the original with the same unique identifier, it's going to hurt. We know they did it, but that'll prove they were printing ballots like they're printing money.

MCBOS only provided basic poll worker access passwords. What Mr. Cotton says he needs is either the admin passwords or technicians passwords.

Without those, the MCBOS cannot validate any of the configuration of any of those systems. Says the MCBOS can only rely what on what Dominion and Pro V&V tells. Zero verification possible.

They don't want to because they know they will never be held liable.

I wish somebody would step forward with an offering of a huge reward for information that leads to the crooks that did this. Screw this "proper" *****

Have the admins and technicians been given directives to not provide that information?

Yes because they work for Dominion and Dominion has said no.

I'm sure you've addressed this already, but how can they legally do that. The data in those machines is government property, right?

Bennett says the only attempted security breach was by Ryan Macias. Lied saying he was press twice but then Sec of State Hobbs appointed him as her observer. LOL. Dem operative tried to breach security, twice.

Gray area with claims of proprietary information, sadly. The data should belong to the customer, but being able to access that data during an audit to verify it becomes a proprietary trade secret...or so the argument goes.

Both Logan and Cotton from Cyber Ninjas say the passwords they need for the tabulators would not lead to any type of source code. That was a lie.

Meeting adjourned. Senator Fann expressed her disappointment that MCBOS has indulged in personal attacks against her and others. Praised the professionalism of the audit team. Pointed out the any "waste" of taxpayers funds was due to the actions of MCBOS refusing access in the already secured MTEC building that they control.

Thus the were forced to rent the coliseum, pay for all of the additional security, etc. that would not have been necessary had the MCBOS allowed the audit to place in situ.

They still do need a password for the tabulators though. (Possible algo issue, I presume?)

I want to come back to the for a second.

Bennett said he saw a box of Braille ballots that literally are ringed binders. Obviously those have to be duplicated to be tabulated. Even the original Braille ballots were missing the identifying number that should be matched to the number on the duplicate ballot reflecting that voter's choices. That galled me to no end.

Hopefully the data he recovered was NOT files of Dominion reconstructed data to obfuscate or replace the original data.
