How to Bust Dominion Vote-Flipping in Your State: Citizens Demand the Ballot Images

Evidence of 2020 ^ | NOVEMBER 12, 2020 | PUBLIUS

FOIA the ballot images

 

Evidence is growing that the Trump campaign was the target of a massive vote-counting machine-hack fraud, Gateway Pundit has reported.    An independent researcher has compiled data showing the forensics of the hacks.

 

Machine-hacking has been an ongoing issue for election integrity activists.

 

Most voters have no idea of what actually happens when they, or a poll worker, feeds a paper ballot into a Dominion Voting Systems, or similar, optical scan vote-counting machine.  The short course might go something  like this.

 

1. Paper ballot gets fed into slot.  Slot accepts paper ballot.

 

2. The machine automatically takes a digital image of ballot, at lighting speed.  In other words, it snaps a picture.

 

3. The specialized “electronic eye” in the machine now reads the voter marks from the digital image, not from the paper ballot.  This is the way all modern generation optical scan vote-counting machines work, including the machines belonging to the Dominion systems Democracy Suite.

 

The digital images of the ballots are then automatically saved in the machine’s memory.  Because they are the primary record of what the machine has actually counted, in all federal elections they must be saved, by law, for 22 months.  (See: “Saving All Ballot Images Would Increase Election Security”)

 

Ballot images have been touted as an “audit feature” by some companies.  They are meant to provide an initial check on the totals that the machine has arrived at.   Votes on the digital images can be read and counted by election workers, or the public, to verify the counts, without actually accessing or touching the paper ballots.  Election integrity activists have recommended they be made available to the public to instill confidence in election results.

If a sharp-eyed grandma with time on her hands finds a count to be terribly off, that provides a solid basis for demanding a paper ballot hand-recount.  It must be a hand-recount, because there is no point to simply running the same ballots through the same type of machine which made the error in the first place.

 

The ballot images are all anonymous, of course, because the ballots are.  This is the principle of the secret ballot.  Some election departments have attempted to keep ballot images secret by using the argument that posting the ballot images, or making them available to the public on a flash drive or DVD, violates the principle of the secret ballot.

 

But that argument deliberately misunderstands what the principle of the secret ballot means, and is frankly idiotic.  The secret ballot means no one can ever trace who cast that ballot.  The secret ballot was never meant to equal secret counting.

 

Voting is secret.  Counting the votes should not be.

 

What could cause such an error?  The fact is that the technology of vote-counting machines is impressive, and known to be fantastically accurate in counting.  Ballots with stray marks or ambiguous markings are rejected for manual adjudication.  The machines are about as accurate as cash-counting machines at ATMs.

 

Unless.  And it is a big unless.  Unless they are hacked and programmed with malicious instructions to illegally add votes to some candidates, while subtracting them from others.

 

In 2016, an election integrity activist and computer programmer made the discovery that vote-counting machines can assign fractional numeric values to votes, making it possible to actually decide what margin of victory one desires beforehand, from a particular vote total, and work the math backwards.  

 

In computer programming, variables are “declared” as either fractions or integers.  In short, there is no such thing as a fractional vote. The only reason for it to exist in a program is to enable the perpetration of machine fraud.

 

Now “glitches” in Dominion systems are popping up across the nation.  It is time to ask the question: why are ballot images, made with machines paid for with public dollars and stored on publicly-owned hard-drives, not made available to the public?  An entire city would fit on a flash drive or DVD.  These are what the machine has counted.

 

The Trump legal team should immediately, as a first step, demand the ballot images from all Dominion vote-counting machines.  Citizens can also demand ballot images on their own, through a FOIA request.  In New York a court ruled that digital ballot images were to be accessible to the public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

 

The logic for demanding and releasing the ballot images is simple: There is no reason not to, that is not a bad reason.  If there is nothing to hide, then election departments should be happy to oblige.

 

As of September 2019, Dominion voting machines are used in 2,000 jurisdictions in 33 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.  They are used significantly in all the key swing states of GA, AZ, PA, NV, and MI.

 

Bloomberg reports:

“Dominion Voting Systems — which commands more than a third of the voting-machine market without having Washington lobbyists — has hired its first, a high-powered firm that includes a longtime aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”

 

AuditElectionsUSA.org publishes a database of the counties and cities in the US whose voting systems use ballot imaging technology.

 

The only stronger evidence of machine vote-hacking than large discrepancies revealed by examination of the ballot images, would be if election departments, as they have been wont to do lately, suddenly announced that the images, or even the paper ballots themselves, had been, illegally, destroyed.  In a Massachusetts Republican primary this year, the Massachusetts Secretary of State, William Galvin, told an outsider candidate that his ballot images had been destroyed, when he asked for verification of his vote.   (See: “Making Digital Ballot Files Public Is Key to Transparency”)

Great post—thanks.

It might be helpful to identify which states (or part of states) used this hardware/software.

In my state (CT) it was not used, for example.

This would show the perfect pre-printed circles, Biden only votes and fake watermarks that were in one of the affidavits.

I’ve wondered lately if there is any way to find out if my vote was recorded AS CAST.

I live in a state where it probably doesn’t matter, and I voted in person on a machine, and then fed the slip the machine churned out into another machine, to be ‘counted’.

I wasn’t given any record of my vote; and can’t remember if it had a number, or anything besides my votes for Trump-Pence, and a couple of down-ballot things.

I’ve read that people can find out if their mail-in or absentee ballots were actually received; but nothing indicating whether there is any way to find out if one’s vote was recorded properly.

I have a feeling this is dwarfed by the fraudulent mail in votes. Methinks lots of people voted early and often.

[Jeepers43]

Thanks, very informative.

One of Trump's attorneys (I think) correctly asserted that this was a top to bottom steal. In other words, yes the voting machines themselves were manipulated. But the back end processing aggregators were also employed (e.g. Dominion Canada, Scytl Barcelona).

All methods were used, in order to obfuscate and cover the fraud. Throughout the election system.

However there was also a central locus to monitor results, so that fine-tuning could be done to ensure the proper outcome.

I'm most curious about that particular criminal conspiracy.

[cgbg]

We are probably talking over a million fraudulent machine votes and well over a million fraudulent mail in votes.

Then there is probably another million or so of vote harvesting and blatant ballot box stuffing (dead people, out of state people, duplicate votes, etc).

The Democrats went “all of the above” on voter fraud this year!

"I’ve read that people can find out if their mail-in or absentee ballots were actually received"

Correct, my state does provide online confirmation that absentee ballots have been properly received and accepted.

[algore]

if this is true and the machine reads the digital images, then the sharpies given to latina women in Arizona should not matter.

first I would make sure a count of the paper ballots matched the number of digital ballots

then, I would want a code review to make sure it did not instantly photoshop a % of ballots according to the algo.

one could print out all of the snapshots and do a hand count of those, and compare it to the original paper ballots.

(first I would look at the image sizes because if the image was shopped it might be a different size than the non modified ones, if the programmers did not think of this)

but if the hand count agrees with the machine count in the first place then it is probably not where the fraud occurred

Massachusetts deletes the ballot images after the election.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Oopsie! They were accidentally erased just a couple of hours ago. Sorry!

[volunbeer]

Several of us have been asking for this since the day after the election even prior to all of the machine hacking allegations.

It would seem that there SHOULD be a physical ballot for each vote tallied and a count would show evidence to corroborate the claims of Sidney and others that the machines changed the vote. It would also corroborate claims that poll workers scanned Biden ballots multiple times and did not scan Trump ballots.

I would bet my first born male child that the Minnesota race for president was corrupt as well. We already know that a number of politicians in Minnesota have been cheating for years and the justice department has done nothing. The rebellion against the police budget cutbacks was offset by ballot stuffing and voting violations. With Keith Ellison as attorney general the left will never lose a major office again in the State.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But what if 139,000 ballots with Joe were fed in?

But what if 139,000 ballots with Joe were fed in?

That would be perfectly OK.

Biden boasted in a video about having the most extensive Voter Fraud program ever. Of course, the MSM took it as a gaffe. The said he really meant “Voter Outreach”. Yeah, sure. That’s quite the gaffe. Like telling my wife I want to divorce her when I really mean I love her. Who makes a mistake like that?

[cgbg]

It is just common sense that the audit trail of every ballot should be kept for a _long_ time.

Given modern data storage capacity, I would think historians would want it preserved in perpetuity.

It would be cool to look at a twenty year old state rep race to see if there were voter fraud (long after passions had cooled).

Right now the system seems rigged to maximize the opportunity for fraud.

[Bayard]

A.I. Systems could easily auto Photoshop images like that, but they would also be very visible in the source code for the device.
