Ah yes, another talking point gone bye bye.

TexAgs doubters: "There was no fraud, Trump was just that unlikeable. See, even the republican's in Georgia say it is all hooey."

Nope. Now we know why the GA "republicans" were joining in on "no fraud" bandwagon......

Even Blitzer got really worried because he saw this threshold surpassed, and said it's not normal to see figures like this.

Duh...

102% voter turnouts, too...

Trump Endorsed Candidate for Secretary of State Mark Finchem and Trump-endorsed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake are seeking a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit against Maricopa and Pima Counties and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs to ban the use of "black box" voting machines in Arizona.

The new motion filed Wednesday in federal court seeks to prevent the use of unsecure electronic voting machines in future elections, including the 2022 election.

---

Alan Dershowitz is listed as counsel (pro hac vice pending) for the plaintiffs.

Quote:

---

Testimony by Professor J. Alex Halderman, who discovered these machine vulnerabilities, is cited numerous times in Lake and Finchem's new petition.

Electronic voting machines are proven to be compromised and cannot be trusted. "Arizona voters no longer know whether their vote has been accurately tabulated or manipulated," contends the new pleading.

Today, we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the use of these unsecure black box voting machines while the case is pending. For this, the law requires us to show that (1) we are likely to succeed on the merits, (2) we will likely suffer irreparable harm if these machines are used, (3) that the balance of equities tips in our favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public interest.

The motion for a preliminary injunction includes evidence and sworn declarations from five top former military and civilian cyber and cyber-security experts.

For specific relief, the lawsuit proposes a secure alternative to electronic voting machines involving precinct-level hand counting procedures of ballots on secure paper and cameras allowing total transparency to the public including an auditable tabulation.

On Tuesday, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.

Defendants claim that it's too late to fix thisthat we are stuck with these BLACK BOX voting machines.

Oh really? Here's the twist. Has anyone asked Runbeck if they can timely print the ballots for Maricopa and Pima Counties? They are right down the road in Maricopa. I'd wager they can handle that task.

One to watch to see what the judge does.

Yea, it's effed. I don't see where 85% corresponds to 3 stdev?

Sorry but I'm confused. Do you dispute that an algo caused the changes, or not?

No, I do not dispute. I'm just not following the statistics argument from PeaceDude.

OK

CEPhD said:

There's no argument.

It's called the 85% Power Rule, because when a huge sample size strays away from what a "high-confidence" statistician would expect to be normal, it's used to show that once it got to >15% of the sample acting completely abnormal, the results are null, void, obsolete, skewed, off, laughable, etc.

In short, the results are > 3 standard deviations away from any normal (or even possible) occurrence (normal = your emperical percentages), so they're comical.

Ex: 20K people voted in Jane's election, but somehow >3K of them voted for a dog, log, mop, etc. A "No Confidence" vote is what comes next, and recounts/revotes are needed to correct the problem.

Weights and probabilities elude most people, so no worries. Congrats on the PhD, btw.

Add: My exact major was APICS related (supply chain mgmt), so we spent a lot of time calculating present and forecasted errors using the rule mentioned above: https://blog.minitab.com/en/understanding-statistics/how-much-data-do-you-really-need-check-power-and-sample-size

Conservatives should have an 'insurrection' in every State that uses Dominion machines and smash them with sledgehammers.

Damn!

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for election officials in Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots whose envelopes are missing a handwritten date, as required by state law.

The disputed ballots relate to a contested 2021 judicial election, but the broader legal fight over mailed ballot requirements could have implications for future elections in the state, including the upcoming midterms.

The court's brief order Thursday did not provide a rationale, but the court's three most conservative members wrote in dissent.

The justices' latest move comes after the Supreme Court last week temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that instructed election officials in the Keystone State to count mail-in ballots that arrived on time but lacked a handwritten date, which is required by state law.

---

Quote:

---

That ruling, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, found that the Pennsylvania law that required mailed ballots without a date to be discarded violated federal election protections.

Justice Samuel Alito, who handles emergency matters arising from Pennsylvania, issued a brief administrative stay of the 3rd Circuit ruling last week to allow the justices additional time to consider more formal action in the case.

The Thursday order effectively reinstated the 3rd Circuit decision, over a dissent by Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

"When a mail-in ballot is not counted because it was not filled out correctly, the voter is not denied the right to vote," Alito wrote. "Rather, that individual's vote is not counted because he or she did not follow the rules for casting a ballot. Casting a vote, whether by following the directions for using a voting machine or completing a paper ballot, requires compliance with certain rules."

Back to Georgia.

Quick backstory. Suit was filed requesting inspection of 148,000 absentee/mail in ballots from 2020 in Fulton County. Due to Georgia law, the case was assigned to a judge outside of Fulton County to Judge Amero.

Amero allowed a preliminary inspection of scanned images of the ballots but it was a low resolution. Nevertheless an evidentiary hearing was held (which I watched) in which several experts testified in person saying they found irregularities and abnormalities to significant portion of them, and a request for a higher resolution scan and/or access under court instructions to the ballots themselves and the envelopes. Plaintiffs needed to match the number of ballots with the number of envelopes. Amero initially orally ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, with some exceptions as to the envelopes that contained voter signatures.

Additional motions were filed by defendants and Amero, some weeks later, abruptly dismissed the case.

It is now in Georgia Court of Appeals. Trump issued a letter.

Quote:

---

Last week, on June 1, a three-judge panel of the Georgia Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in a vital case involving the public's right to know the truth about the makeup of 148,000 absentee ballots, many of which were harvested and dumped into drop boxes in the dark of night in the period leading up to the November 3, 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia.

This case is being closely watched by millions of Georgia voters and American patriots all across the country who are demanding transparency!

Petitioners who filed the case are Caroline Jeffords and Robbin Sotir, registered voters who argue that their votes were diminished and diluted, and who are supported by affidavits of eyewitnesses who observed that many absentee ballots were never folded (which is required in order to be mailed inside an envelope!), that other ballots were filled out with a printer rather than by a person using a pen (which is obviously corrupt and illegal), along with other disqualifying "irregularities." Greatly respected Georgia attorney Bob Cheeley and his law firm are fighting on the side of the Petitioners and our Democracy, itself.

The appeals court panel of Presiding Judge Christopher J. McFadden, Judge Elizabeth Gobeil and Judge Andrew A. Pinson, were asked by Mr. Cheeley to reverse the trial court which, after originally granting the Petitioners' motion to unseal the ballots and permit an inspection of the absentee ballots and the envelopes, stated that there needs to be a one-to-one ratio of envelopes to ballots.

Cheeley urged the appeals court to recognize that the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held, as far back as 1942, that if a citizen alleges that there is evidence of vote dilution due to "ballot stuffing," then a "particularized injury" has been established and the courts have routinely allowed an inspection. He also made the key points that Georgia law allows a Superior Court judge to unseal ballots for inspection and that ballots are not protected under the state's Open Records Act.

Therefore, it is crystal clear that citizens of Georgia should be permitted to see the ballots and the envelopes that those ballots should have been inserted into prior to mailing or being placed into a drop box.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies should be very interested in the Jeffords/Sotir case, because the Federalist Society is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.

I join with millions of Georgians and implore these fine jurists to reverse the trial court and send the case back to the lower court which previously determined that Petitioners, through expert testimony, had established a strong case justifying the unsealing of Fulton's absentee ballots from the November 2020 elections.

Why don't they want to show the ballots and the envelopes?

What are they hiding?

The very foundation of our Country is at stake and the people of Georgia, and our Nation, deserve to know the truth about who won the 2020 election!

AG Barr's deposition is very telling. Turns out he decided not to investigate based on his "opinion" from 30,000 feet that there was no election fraud in Atlanta,Detroit,Philly &Milwaukee. He never actually inspected any ballots on the ground. (He audibly laughed at "2000 Mules")

Not only that but Barr forbid his US Attorney in PA from investigating the truck driver that swore he was transporting ballots (for the USPS) from New York to Philly. Instructed him to turn everything over to the corrupt PA AG.

On Election Day and afterwards, our Ofce received various allegations of voter fraud

AttorneyGeneral Barr, however, instructed me not to make any public statements or put out anypress releases regarding possible election irregularities. I was also given a directive to passalong serious allegations to the State Attorney General for investigation the same StateAttorney General who had already declared that you could not win.

Letter is HERE

This gets pretty far into the weeds but the issue in Antrim County in 2020 also appear to have occurred in DeKalb County in the 2022 primary. Both Dominion and ballot alignment issues.

Quote:

---

In simpler terms, all of the precincts in a particular county are incorporated in the ballot design using Dominion's Election Event Designer (EED). Let's say you have precincts A, B, C, D, and E. Precinct A would start with 1-20 (with each number representing a candidate and their respective "bubble"). Precinct B, rather than starting with 1 as a new ballot, continues on from A and starts with 21. So B is now 21-40 even though the top of the ticket may be the same on B as it is on A. C is now 41-60, D is 61-80, and E is 81-100.

Now, say a candidate drops out of a race in Precinct C. You update the EMS, precinct tabulators (ICPs) and the BMDs at C to reflect this addition but you don't update D or E. So now C has 41-61 (instead of 41-60) on its ballot and the EMS reflects this if properly updated.

But because D and E weren't updated, they still have 61-80, and 81-100. This means every race on their ballot has dropped down one, so a vote for the candidate on line 63 now becomes 64 and a vote for 87 becomes 88. This is why they claim the ballot change in Antrim Co caused a down-ballot miscounting of votes. And it did. Antrim Co did not just flip the Presidential race.

---

Quote:

---

This is eerily similar to the issue in Dekalb Co., where candidate Don Broussard withdrew from the race on April 11, 2022. It was reported by Decaturish.com that Don Broussard did not appear on the early voting ballots. This is a half-truth. He did appear on the ballot according to Dekalb Co's webpage (on the wayback machine…2nd page, middle right side of ballot) but he had a strike through his name with "WITHDRAWN" written below, but still a voteable bubble appeared next to his name.

Because of this "withdrawal", candidate Michelle Long Spears was originally reported in 3rd place. However, after a hand recount, it was discovered she actually was in 1st place and the first place candidate was now in third. We'll discuss this in more detail later on.

---

Quote:

---

This is not how ballot design works. Not even close. There is no "three people into four slots". Every candidate has a numerical value assigned to their "bubble" on the ballot. It is not divided into "slots". The candidates in this race may be, for example, 221, 222, 223, 224 with the candidates in the next completely separate race being 225, 226, 227, etc. There is no "slot" where they could be exclusively removed without impacting the down-ballot candidates positioning on the ballot unless ALL precincts and EMS are updated to show the removal of Don Broussard.

---

Quote:

---

So just to clarify where we are at right now: we know that the Dekalb Co Commissioner D2 race was inaccurately reported from the machine count. We know that Michelle Long Spears, one of the candidates, raised red flags when her precinct showed "0" votes despite her and her husband voting for her. We know that on May 28th, Dekalb began a machine recount for Spears but abruptly stopped the count after spending almost the entire day conducting a Logic and Accuracy test. Inexplicably, on May 29th, they began a *hand* recount instead of a machine count. They finished the recount on May 31st, but waited over 24 hours before posting those official (and shocking) results. We also know they did another hand recount that yielded even great discrepancies.

EVERY programmer has experienced this error at some point in their career--starting an array at 1 instead of zero, or ending the array at 255 instead of 256 or similar. Complete rookie error, and no doubt could have been done on purpose to exploit the system as an "innocent" mistake.

One time I was showing a product demo in front of my prospective customer team installed on their system btly their sys admin. Every time I launched my software it crashed their unix machine--every single time! A few days later as we were debugging the sys admin says "oh..." he had specified the starting sector of one partition to overlap the ending sector of another partition. My software was installed in that sector and caused a catastrophic error. Much easier to debug than a subtle undetected error...

Many lessons learned that day...

Would some rando election worker even know to do this? No.

Dominion should have done it. But they did not. Why?

Dominion has a scaled version of what they call 'support' and everytime an election body asks for said 'support' it will cost them more money. "Yeah, we can adjust the ballot image, but it will cost you." "Oh you want the EED adjusted too? It will cost you."

Dominion will not stand behind either their machines nor their version of "technical assistance." They witnessed election workers screwing up by not clearing when a jam happened and the idiot election workers rescanning the batch again. Dominion supervisor onsite in Detroit? "We don't run their elections."

Then why is tech support even there? Paid to be there, millions I suppose because most of those contracts are not publicly available, but what are they there for???

Remember Dominion contract with Georgia (and I assume their standard contract) has an escrow provision for the source code so a third party is supposed to be holding it. (I'm beginning to have my doubts if that company exists) And there are contractual precipitating events where Georgia (or any other customer) could demand access to the source code from that escrow agent.

I mention Georgia for the main reason that Judge Totenberg is still sitting on Alex Halderman's report on Dominion. And several counties appear to have issues with their recent primaries besides DeKalb.

It is insane, but the more I dig, the more I find these vulnerabilities existing LONG before this thread. There were documentaries out there exposing this before Trump was elected and before Obama was elected. There is even information about international elections where these vulnerabilities were exploited.

As embarrassed as I am to say I am late to the game, I cannot believe all of this evidence is out there.....has been out there.....and continues to be ignored. Well, MSM was reporting on it full tilt when the elections didn't fall to the democrats.

Have you come across that contract or any of the language in that agreement? There should be "events" specified in the contract as to when the release could occur. Beyond the standard, 'hey, we are out of business and will no longer be updating/maintaining the code, so it is now yours to view.'

If there is a maintenance clause, then it should be on. Meaning, there is ample evidence they have defaulted on maintenance by not doing anything to correct these vulnerabilities. Who am I kidding....nobody is going to hold these people accountable.

I was only 19 in 2004 and wasn't quite in to following politics, except for voting at the time, but I do remember quite a bit of handwringing around Diebold machines, saying they weren't secure, etc.
