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.
Not the contract itself but read this announcement regarding Georgia's awarding the contract to Dominion. Tell me what stands out to you.

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.

Though ES&S scored higher on the government's criteria for a replacement voting system, Dominion came out on top when the price of its system was taken into account.
So ES&S, who had complaints of malfunctioning machines and unverifiable results scored higher than Dominion, but since they were cheaper, Dominion got the contract. (Although the link to the scoresheet looks to have been deleted so we cannot see how they compared).

Quote:

One of Dominion's lobbyists, Jared Thomas, has worked on Kemp's political campaigns since he first won a state Senate seat in 2002. He also worked previously for Kemp in the Secretary of State's Office.
Quote:

Another Dominion lobbyist, Barry Herron, was vice president of Diebold Election Systems, the company that originally sold Georgia its electronic voting machines in 2002.

... and did I understand the article correctly. Did it insinuate ES&S came to the table with Windows 7 systems? ROFLMAO

ETA: I haven't followed all the links because I have to clean up my keyboard after reading the "Nail Fail" and little people article.

And there's this:

Quote:

Printed-out ballots will include the text of voters' choices, but scanning machines will read computerized bar codes to count ballots.
My understanding is that using QR codes is against Georgia law.

But the incestuous relationships between politicians and these election companies is very concerning to me. Has to be some sort of kickbacks going on there.

And anybody who was in the C Suite of Diebold should not be in the business anymore.

I mean, does any of that really matter? It should, but there are multiple state voting laws broken/ignored in multiple states. As if COVID trumped everything.

This is what the ballot reader reads.

The printed out part is for the voter to verify their ballot, but who knows what the QR code reads.

I scanned that QR Code and it took me to a message that said "Straight Ticket Democrat vote confirmed".

Quote:

Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) has overtaken billionaire developer Rick Caruso in the primary race for mayor of Los Angeles, thanks to vote-by-mail that has led to an eight-point swing in the results.


Quote:

Caruso, a Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat, is running as a political outsider promising to fix homelessness and crime in the city. Bass, a left-wing activist-turned-Washington insider, is the favorite of the party establishment.

On Election Night, Caruso had more votes, leading Bass by a proportion of 41% to 38%.
Quote:

In the week since, that proportion has reversed itself. The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday evening:
Quote:

Rep. Karen Bass pulled ahead of rival Rick Caruso in the primary election for Los Angeles mayor on Tuesday after a surge of vote-by-mail ballots boosted the congresswoman and several other progressive candidates.

Over the last week, a flood of late-arriving mail ballots propelled left-of-center candidates in races for mayor, city attorney and multiple council seats.

Quote:

Regardless, the shift in L.A. underscores the power of Bass's turnout machine, and the great challenge that faces Caruso in the general election.

Here's a fun fact. Guess who created the Los Angeles County voting system from the ground up, just for them?

Wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if they get to the bottom of mail in ballot fraud in a Democrat primary?

Doubtful, but would be hilarious.

Back to Georgia and 2020.

Quote:

ATLANTA, March 7, 2022 VoterGA announced at a press conference today a 15-point analysis that documents clear, irrefutable evidence of how the November 2020 Fulton County election results were electronically manipulated. The analysis was based on a year-long study of ballot images conducted by an expert-laden volunteer research team. The ballot image research was made possible last year when the Georgia legislature passed SB202, which made ballot images public records. The ballot images were collected statewide by a VoterGA Open Records Request team. The 15-point analysis that can be verified through public ballot images at GAballots.com or other sites found the following problems in Fulton County:

1. 17,724 final certified Fulton votes have no ballot images
2. All 374,128 in-person ballot images for the original count are missing
3. 132,284 mail-in ballot images are missing their authentication files
4. 4,000+ tabulator images have impossible duplicate time stamps
5. 104,994 image files in 1,096 batches have impossible, duplicate time stamps
6. All ballot batches were improperly forced to adjudication to facilitate tampering
7. 10 ballots were impossibly adjudicated in one minute by one user
8. 941 Iiage files were backdated prior to adjudication
9. All 16,034 mail-in image authentication files were added days after scanning
10. Same 12 tabulators closed 148 early voting polls masking identity of scanning tabulator
11. One tabulator serial# impossibly closed two polls in same overlapping times
12. One tabulator was never closed and may have added many illegitimate votes
13. Images in 288 batches have backfilled time stamps out of scanning chronological order
14. 85 closing tapes for 12,024 Election Day ballots are unsigned or missing
15. All but two tabulator closing tapes for early voting are unsigned

VoterGA emphasized that while one or two of these may be procedural issues, the electronic tampering found so far is not limited to Fulton. Co-founder Garland Favorito said: "In fairness to Fulton County, they did preserve enough of their ballot images to make some of our research possible. Other counties, like Cobb, destroyed most or all of their original November 2020 images despite federal and state law. This tampering and destruction is proof positive why Georgians cannot trust the 2020 election results. We desperately need an independent multi-county audit immediately to secure our elections before 2022 primaries."

Why the need to erase those records? Especially when they are required to be kept as a matter of federal law?

Also, those errors don't sound to me like user error, software glitches more like or someone just trying to mess up as many of the records as they could.

Since Trump won the state, you know if those fraud cases were consequential, the media would be saying Trump stole the state of Texas.

Interestingly enough, CTCL did do some of their grants in Texas. IIRC, Travis Harris and Tarrant counties, maybe a couple of more.

Well, the Otero County NM County Commission was ordered by the State Supreme Court to certify the primary vote, so they did. It's WaPo so of course they editorialize to protect Dominion.

Quote:

Commissioners in New Mexico's Otero County voted 2 to 1 Friday to comply with a state Supreme Court order and certify primary-election results, reversing an earlier rejection of vote totals over unfounded claims that voting machines were insecure.
Quote:

In an afternoon meeting, Republican County Commissioners Vickie Marquardt and Gerald Matherly voted to certify the results from the state's June 7 primary over the objections of the third commissioner, Couy Griffin.

Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, spoke by phone from Washington, where he had been sentenced earlier Friday to 14 days in jail on one count of entering a restricted area during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In his remarks, Griffin refused to back down from assertions that the machines were not secure or apologize for leading a charge against a normally straightforward procedural vote that caused a week-long uproar.

Is that not a separation of powers issue?

A court can just order an election to be certified?

Not really a separation of powers issue because the reason the Commission balked at the certification was due to their interpretation of state law, i.e Dominion was out of compliance with EAC guidelines and hence not certified under state law.

NM Supreme Court can address that issue and say they were incorrectly interpreting the state statute.

That's the difference there.

They were also arrested in January 2021, and were helping a Republican candidate, but of course a grifter like Dinesh would try and frame the tweet as if it was recent and as if there was some connection to his movie.

Never been a fan of Dinesh. This just reinforces it. Plenty of fraud occurred without making misleading claims like that.

TTV would have been much better off using someone else to make their case.

That's the problem. Due to a complete absence of any evidence of significant fraud, they have to manufacture evidence. Making misleading claims is the easiest and safest way to do that without encountering legal consequences.

Another oldie, but goodie, is careful editing video footage, like they did with Rachel Rodriguez and "suitcases full of ballots," and countless others. Oh, and don't forget "there were more votes cast than registered voters," that one's always good for a headline or two.

The inconvenient truth is there is no good evidence. As Giuliani said, "we don't have any evidence, but we have a lot of theories."

Here in SA, one of these mules that kept setting off the geolocation marker worked for Cornyn, was busted by Veritas, and then went on working filling out ballots for dims after coercing little old ladies that conservatives are evil.

John just got done talking up gun control today, didn't he?
