Late nite bullnost — blank ballots fed in and Dominion machines used to count them for Biden.
2. Fractional Vote Counts in Raw Data Strongly Indicate Voting
Manipulation through “Ranked Choice Voting Algorithm”
129. Mr. Ramsland’s analysis of the raw data , which provides votes counts, rather
than just vote shares, in decimal form provides highly probative evidence that, in his
professional opinion, demonstrates that Dominion manipulated votes through the use of an
“additive” or “Ranked Choice Voting” algorithm (or what Dominion’s user guide refers to as
the “RCV Method”). See id. at ¶12.
12 Mr. Ramsland presents the following example of this data
– taken from “Dominion’s direct feed to news outlets” – in the table below. Id.

130. Mr. Ramsland describes how the RCV algorithm can be implemented, and the
significance of the use of fractional vote counts, with decimal places, rather than whole numbers,
in demonstrating that Dominion did just that to manipulate Michigan votes.
12See id. (quotingDemocracy Suite EMS Results Tally and Reporting User Guide, Chapter 11,
Settings 11.2.2., which reads, in part, “RCV METHOD: This will select the specific method of
tabulating RCV votes to elect a winner.”).

For instance, blank ballots can be entered into the system and treated as “writeins.” Then the operator can enter an allocation of the write-ins among candidates
as he wishes. The final result then awards the winner based on “points” the
algorithm in the compute, not actual votes. The fact that we observed raw vote
data that includes decimal places suggests strongly that this was, in fact, done.
Otherwise, votes would be solely represented as whole numbers. Below is an
excerpt from Dominion’s direct feed to news outlets showing actual calculated
votes with decimals. Id.
3. StrongEvidence That Dominion Shifted Votes from Trump to Biden.
131. A third red flag identified by Mr. Ramslund is the dramatic shift in votes between
the two major party candidates as the tabulation of the turnout increased, and more importantly,
the change in voting share before and after 2 AM on November 4, 2020, after Wayne County and
other Michigan election officials had supposedly halted counting.
Until the tabulated voter turnout reached approximately 83%, Trump was
generally winning between 55% and 60% of every turnout point. Then, after the
counting was closed at 2:00 am, the situation dramatically reversed itself,
starting with a series of impossible spikes shortly after counting was
supposed to have stopped. Id. at ¶13.
132. Once again the means through which Dominion appears to have implemented this
scheme is through the use of blank ballots that were all, or nearly all, cast for Biden.
The several spikes cast solely for Biden could easily be produced in the Dominion
system by pre-loading batches of blank ballots in files such as Write-Ins, then
casting them all for Biden using the Override Procedure (to cast Write-In ballots)
that is available to the operator of the system. A few batches of blank ballots
could easily produce a reversal this extreme, a reversal that is almost as
statistically difficult to explain as is the impossibility of the votes cast to number
of voters described in Paragraph 11 above.Id.
4. The November 4 Ballot Dumps Wayne County and Other Michigan
Counties Was “Physically Impossible” Because There Were More
Ballots Than Machines in Those Four Counties Could Have Counted
Or Processed.
133. Mr Ramsland and his team analyzed the sudden injection of totaling 384,733
ballots by four Michigan counties (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Kent) in a 2 hour 38 minute
period in the early morning of November 4 (which would have included the first ballot dump

described above in Paragraph 72), and concluded that “[t]his is an impossibility, given the
equipment available at the 4 reference locations (precincts/townships).” Id. at ¶14.
134. Specifically, Mr. Ramslund calculated that “94,867 ballots as the maximum
number of ballots that could be processed” in that time period, and thus that “[t]here were
289,866 more ballots processed in the time available for processing in four precincts/townships,
than the capacity of the system allows.” Id. Mr. Ramsland concludes that “[t]he documented
existence of the spikes are strongly indicative of a manual adjustment either by the operator of
the system (see paragraph 12 above) or an attack by outside actors.” Id. The vote totals added
for all Michigan counties, including Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Kent counties, for the period
analyzed by Mr. Ramsland are reproduced in the figure below.

Monkey business with the Dominion systems
E. Additional Independent Findings of Dominion Flaws.
136. Further supportive of this pattern of incidents, reflecting an absence of mistake,
Plaintiffs have since learned that the “glitches” in the Dominion system — that have the uniform
effect of hurting Trump and helping Biden — have been widely reported in the press and
confirmed by the analysis of independent experts.
1. Central Operator Can Remove, Discard or Manipulate Votes.
137. Plaintiffs have also learned of the connection between Dominion Voting Systems,
Smartmatic and the voting systems used in Venuezela and the Phillipines.
a. Dominion Voting has also contradicted itself in a rush to denial a pattern of errors
that lead to fraud. For example, Dominion Voting Systems machines can read all
of these instruments, including Sharpies.https://www.dominionvoting.com/

138. An Affiant, who is a network & Information cybersecurities expert, under sworn
testimony explains that after studying the user manual for Dominion Voting Systems Democracy
software, he learned that the information about scanned ballots can be tracked inside the
software system for Dominion:
(a) When bulk ballot scanning and tabulation begins, the “ImageCast Central”
workstation operator will load a batch of ballots into the scanner feed tray and
then start the scanning procedure within the software menu. The scanner then
begins to scan the ballots which were loaded into the feed tray while the
“ImageCast Central” software application tabulates votes in real-time. Information
about scanned ballots can be tracked inside the “ImageCast Central” software
application.
(See Exh.Aff. of Watkins __, at par.11).
139. The Affiant further explains that the central operator can remove or discard
batches of votes. “After all of the ballots loaded into the scanner’s feed tray have been through
the scanner, the “ImageCast Central” operator will remove the ballots from the tray then have the
option to either “Accept Batch” or “Discard Batch” on the scanning menu …. “Id. at ¶ 12.
140. Affiantfurther testifies that the user manual makes clear that the system allows for
threshold settings to be set to find all ballots get marked as “problem ballots” for discretionary
determinations on where the vote goes stating:
“During the voting process, the voter will mark an oval on the ballot using a
writing device. During the scanning process, the “ImageCast Central” software
will detect how much of a percent coverage of the oval was filled in by the voter.
The Dominion customer determines the thresholds of which the oval needs to be
covered by a mark in order to qualify as a valid vote. If a ballot has a marginal
mark which did not meet the specific thresholds set by the customer, then the
ballot is considered a “problem ballot” and may be set aside into a folder named
“NotCastImages”. Through creatively tweaking the oval coverage threshold
settings it should be possible to set thresholds in such a way that a non-trivial
amount of ballots are marked “problem ballots” and sent to the “NotCastImages”

folder. It is possible for an administrator of the ImageCast Central work station
to view all images of scanned ballots which were deemed “problem ballots” by
simply navigating via the standard “Windows File Explorer” to the folder named
“NotCastImages” which holds ballot scans of “problem ballots”. It is possible for
an administrator of the “ImageCast Central” workstation to view and delete any
individual ballot scans from the “NotCastImages” folder by simply using the
standard Windows delete and recycle bin functions provided by the Windows 10
Pro operating system.
Id. at ¶¶ 13-14.
141. The Affiant further explains the vulnerabilities in the system when the copy of the
selected ballots that are approved in the Results folder are made to a flash memory card – and
that is connected to a Windows computer stating:
It is possible for an administrator of the “ImageCast Central” workstation toview
and delete any individual ballot scans from the “NotCastImages” folder by simply
using the standard Windows delete and recycle bin functions provided by the
Windows 10 Pro operating system. … The upload process is just a simple copying
of a “Results” folder containing vote tallies to a flash memory card connected to
the “Windows 10 Pro” machine. The copy process uses the standard drag-n-drop
or copy/paste mechanisms within the ubiquitous “Windows File Explorer”. While
a simple procedure, this process may be error prone and is very vulnerable to
malicious administrators.
