Quote:
Conradson: Do you guys have an update total for us?
Bennett: I think we're at over 800,000 ballots counted and things are running very smoothly. We've had some of the highest number of counting tables since the audit began, yesterday afternoon, 33, and 37 new people are being trained today. Over 300 new workers and volunteers were trained last week. The pace is starting to ramp up but the speed is not our goal, accuracy is our number one goal.
Conradson: So, what's going on with these deleted databases? Are we ever going to find out who did it?
Bennett: Well we don't know that it was inadvertent or intentional. We never tried to imply one or the other but the contractor that was looking at that data does have a confirmation that some directories were deleted on April 12th. And computers keep track of when you add things and when you delete things. So that there's a record of those being deleted but also happens in computers when you delete something it goes to a temporary file and they were able to recover it. If Maricopa County wants to see the data that proves that it was deleted, our contractor would be happy to share that.
Quote:
Conradson: The fake news reported that you guys backtracked those claims of deleted databases. Is that true?
Bennett: No, when we made the statement that we discovered the directory of databases deleted, that was a true statement. A few days later when we had the hearing at the senate and the same contractor stated that he was able to have recovered it between those times, that was also a true statement. There's no backtrack and any reference to him backtracking is false news. He emphaized that what happened happened.
Conradson: In a letter to Karen Fann, Allister Adel put the word "audit" in quotations every time she said the word audit. You guys said this is a real audit. How do you feel about that?
Bennett: Well, this is an audit. If you interestingly go to the Dominion website and look at their marketing materials for their democracy suite election management system, it has 4 components to the whole system and the 4th component is auditing the election. This IS an audit. The vendor that provided the equipment and the software to run the election for Maricopa County contemplates in their very marketing materials that the 4th of 4 steps in running an election is having an audit of the election so if the county attorneys office wants to put quotes around the word audit to make themselves feel better, then that's up to them.
Pullen: Ken is correct. As a CPA and former partner with Deloitte, I did a lot of audits including forensic audits, and I've seen the procedures they're following here, the process they're going through and it would qualify as an audit.
Quote:
Conradson: It really seems that Dominion was in complete and total control of our election, and complete and total control of the audits. Why is it that Maricopa County didn't have 100% control?
Bennett: I think you would have to say that Maricopa County shared some of that control
Conradson: But now where they don't have the admin passwords, only Dominion has that access.
Bennett: That's a good question that we're still trying to get an answer from Maricopa County.
Video at LinkQuote:
Pullen: There's 385 tabulators and there's a configuration and you have to have a password to get the configuration and only Dominion has that. We've asked for it and
Bennett: Maybe they need to send somebody over from Maricopa and Dominion and sit down with our IT guys. Our IT folks have told us that all they need is about a minute or two on each machine once that password is entered to print out the configuration data that's behind that password so if there's nothing to hide, which there shouldn't be anything to hide, then they should be able to give us access to that section of the computer.
Pullen: They're trying to prevent us from doing the audit.
Bennett: As a business that has been audited and as an auditor, when somebody doesn't want you to audit something, that's probably the biggest sign that something needs to be audited.

A judge in Georgia told parties in an election integrity case on May 27 that a previously scheduled meeting at a ballot storage warehouse was canceled after officials filed a flurry of motions in the case.
Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero said a May 28 meeting was no longer taking place because of motions filed by Fulton County, the county's Board of Registration and Elections, and the county's clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts, a spokesperson for the court confirmed to The Epoch Times.
Amero said the motions must be heard before the plaintiffs can gain access to the absentee ballots. He proposed a June 21 hearing, but the order scheduling the hearing hasn't yet been filed.
"It seems like a desperation move. The silver lining is that we now have more time to perfect the changes we had to make in our inspection plan," Garland Favorito, the lead petitioner, told The Epoch Times via email.
County officials argued that the complaint filed by voters should be dismissed because the petitioners failed to serve, or even attempt to serve, the county. They also said Fulton County doesn't have final control over elections, that petitioners aren't entitled to declaratory judgment, and that petitioners haven't complied with election contest requirements.
Whenever I read crap like that, I am reminded why I hate our overburdensome legal system that seems to be constructed specifically for lawyers to find procedural ways to stand in the way of a simple pursuit of justice.aggiehawg said:

Problem is that two highly crim defense attorneys are being paid from taxpayer funds. That won't continue too long, leading to a substitution of counsel and another massive delay. It's all a game of legal procedural one-up-man-ship to them.Quote:

They also said Fulton County doesn't have final control over elections, that petitioners aren't entitled to declaratory judgment, and that petitioners haven't complied with election contest requirements.
Amero heard in a hearing last week that petitioners weren't able to properly examine ballot images they've received because of their low resolution200 dots per inch (DPI). Amero granted the petitioners' request to unseal the mailed ballots and said they could go to where they were stored in order to observe county workers create higher resolution images of the ballots.
Amero mentioned during the hearing that no parties had filed a motion to dismiss, allowing petitioners to obtain some discovery.
During the hearing, lawyers for the county urged the judge not to grant access to the ballots.
Those are separate motions, suggesting different counsel. Having different counsel for the subagency of the county, the Board of Registration and Elections, suggests their legal interests are not aligned but the Board is still a part of the County's operations. So how can Fulton County not be a proper party??Quote:

Wait, what? Who turned that function off? If they knew in advance that folds in the mail in ballots could be misinterpreted as "votes" wouldn't they want that function on?? So the ballots would get kicked back to the election workers and addressed by hand?Quote:
This revelation is news to the public, but our trusted politicians and Jeff Silvestro of LHS Associates knew this would happen months before the election occurred.
Irrespective of their knowledge, they collectively committed gross negligence when they failed to implement corrections that would have protected the voters of New Hampshire.
Moreover, Philip J. Abirached, Chairman of the Windham Republican Town Committee reported yesterday that "the function of rejecting overvotes was turned off per the state's request."
Again, wouldn't they want the overvote feature on? They knew they would have problems.Quote:
Found on the Secretary of State's website under sos.nh.gov.minutes-may-19-2 were the transcribed minutes for the "Meeting of the Select Committee on 2020 Emergency Election Support" held on May 19th, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.
This meeting was convened to determine how to implement Covid-19 mandates such as PPE requirements and sanitizing protocol for the November 3rd election proceedings.
The meeting style was a "question and answer" format that also included discussion surrounding the anticipated influx of mail-in ballots.
All of the participants were clearly listed at the top of the minutes to include House Election Law Committee Chair, Rep. Barbara J. Griffin; David Scanlan, Deputy Secretary of State; Orville "Bud" Fitch, Legal Counsel to the Secretary of State; Nicholas Chong Yen, Assistant Attorney General; among others.
Except one. There is one person not listed as either "Member" or "Participating", but who piped into the meeting unexpectedly pages deep into the transcribed scroll.
That person was Jeff Silvestro, President of LHS Associates. (AKA Dominion.) The transcription refers to him as Jeff Silvestro of AHI Associates. (AHI is not a keystroke combination indicative of a typo. Not even close.) His participation in the meeting though seemingly covert was instrumental toward the production and decision-making concerns of the ballots used in the 2020 General Election.
When a question was posed about the absentee ballots and whether or not they ought to consider using manila envelopes for people to remit the ballots to avoid having to fold them, Silvestro drew from his pre-existing knowledge.
"Folded ballots always have a higher possibility of being misread or rejected. The creases can cause shadowing and result in misreading/rejection," Silvestro said.
"I'd like to see less folded ballots, but I don't think it's possible with what we're trying to accomplish", he said.
What were they trying to accomplish? Why did they not eliminate the problem entirely and go with manila envelopes?
Silvestro, as it turns out, had advised the committee that the November ballots would likely be 17" or 18" at which point "postage would probably get cost-prohibitive".
Quote:
The design and printing of these ballots as it would square with the manner in which the machines were programmed to receive them, would prove integral to the Windham audit results.
So, who printed the ballots?
It has also been reported that Evans Printing Company in Bow, New Hampshire is the non-certified company that prints our federal election ballots. But who provides them with the design and copy?
Buried deeper within the scroll of the transcribed Minutes of May 19th, 2020, Silvestro provides the seminal information.
"There are technical limitations within the programming software that designs the ballots and the code which goes around the perimeter and back of the ballot," he said.
I found that in the Runbeck Election Services materials as well. The graphic design of the particular ballots and how they are to be printed is done by the voting machine vendor. In NH, that would be LHS using machines owned by Dominion.Quote:
Strangely, and out of nowhere, Barbara Griffin (whose involvement we'll discuss later) changed the subject completely when she asked Silvestro about putting a sheet of paper onto each voting station's surface for the in-person booths.
Not so fast, Barbara. What about his answer? Programming software? Codes around the perimeter and backs of the ballots?
That's a pretty sophisticated answer coming from the very Dominion supplier who Bud Fitch, Deputy to the Secretary of State, initially denied was involved in the printing of our ballots. (Phone interview of April 2, 2021.)
When pressed on the matter, Fitch admitted that LHS would have to be involved in order to make certain the ballots were compatible with the machines.
Does it matter, really, what company actually prints the ballots or would it be more relevant to our concerns who provides the "programming software that designs the ballots and the code which goes around the perimeter and backs of the ballots"?
Quote:
Back to Windham and the preliminary results of the audit. Some machines, not all, misread the ballotsthe very same ballots that Silvestro (at the very least) helped to configure.
The Windham Forensic Audit Team led by Harri Hursti, in a genius and unexpected move, proceeded to feed leftover absentee ballots (which they had filled out) to replicate resultant voting machine readings that can't possibly be accidental.
It is difficult to describe in writing how the configuration of the candidates and the staggering of parties contributed to the lop-sided misreadings but suffice it to saythat crease zeroed over a democrat's target bubble causing over-votes for straight-ticket republican votes for that particular race.
Quizzically, not all the machines read the ballots with identical results.
Perhaps a discovery in Bedford could help to explain the discrepancy.
It has been conclusively determined that Bedford consigned three machines, in particular, to tally the mail-in votes exclusively. Other towns report the same or similar protocol.
All of the mail-in ballots were dedicated exclusively to certain machines and certain machines only. It cannot be determined if every single town in New Hampshire followed this method, but it definitely was the case in several towns.
LINKQuote:
Why were the mail-in ballots (replete with creases) fed into specific machines? One would hope that those machines were custom programmed by LHS to correctly handle and eliminate the anticipated problem since they also decided to disable the feature that would have alerted election workers.

Agree. And that is a part of what Pulitzer has been saying since the beginning. The machine does what the coding tells it to do and by coding, I mean on the ballot itself. Those codes (bars, squares, diamonds whatever) direct the machine where to look on the paper.Quote:
This was purposely done. The machine misreading folds is cover for this blatant cheat. The tell is in the design of the ballot.

Remember when I posted the press release from Fulton County lauding the efforts of Runbeck Election Systems and Dominion to assist the county in their absentee (mail-in) ballot efforts?Quote:
An attorney representing Georgia citizens who secured the right to review over 145,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County in November told the judge overseeing the case that a top county election official could not say how many absentee ballots were printed.
Plaintiff's attorney Bob Cheeley told Judge Brian Amero on Friday that Fulton County Registration Chief Ralph Jones, during a pretrial deposition, estimated the county printed 20,000 absentee ballots through a vendor in the 10 days leading up to the election.
Jones could not give the attorney a precise number.
Quote:
"So I asked for the invoice, during the deposition, for those ballots. ... As of now, I don't have the invoice yet, so we still don't know if it's 20,000 or some other number," Cheeley told Amero.
"I asked Mr. Jones questions about chain of custody of those papers [ballots] and who was limited access to those papers because that's very, very important that you keep that under close scrutiny," the attorney continued.
"And I asked him also how many of those papers were actually printed and sent out to voters, and he didn't know."
Cheeley further recounted that he queried Jones about whether any of the ballots were left over, but the official could not say.
Hmm. Maybe that's why the defendants filed to stop discovery pending the resolution of those (questionable) motions to dismiss?Quote:
Cheeley told The Western Journal via email Wednesday that he had yet to receive those figures from the county concerning the ballots printed and used, or a copy of the printing invoice, despite the deposition of Jones taking place back on May 17.
"I have served a Request for Production of Documents for these in order to force the county to do so," the lawyer wrote.
Quote:
An independent report contracted by the Georgia State Election Board and released on Jan. 12 determined that there were many abnormalities in Fulton County's November election, including some matters that involved Jones himself.
"There were persistent chain of custody issues throughout the entire absentee ballot processing system," the report said.
It added that "the fact that ballots were delivered to State Farm Arena in unsecured mail carts is very concerning."
"Protocol for securing ballots exists not only in securing the ballots themselves but also ensuring no ballot stuffing occurred," it said.
"The problem was exacerbated by poor managerial processes by Ralph Jones, who failed to do intake counts for provisional ballots."
The report also noted that some staff seemed to not understand that absentee ballots needed to be verified before they were counted.
Quote:
While standing with election observers, "Jones had to intervene to stop a temporary staffer from moving a pile of recently-accepted but unverified absentee ballots into the stack going straight to State Farm Arena for scanning and counting."
"Had Jones not been there with me (the election observer) to catch the mistake, it is safe to assume that those ballots would've been counted as if they had been verified."

The way I understand it, the crease creates and over-vote or a condition that the machine can't reconcile. It doesn't have anything to do with that particular office.

The way that ballot is arranged has to be purposeful with the democrats for that race being the only misaligned entry. On the other side of the coin, what makes a state house race in NH worth the trouble? What the hell is going on?
