Paper Warned About the Software Company at Center of Ballot Glitches in Swing States; UPDATE: MI SOS Responds

ORIGINAL:

The Michigan State Republican Party on Friday revealed that a software glitch caused 6,000 Republican ballots to be counted toward Democrat's totals. The issue was eventually corrected when officials in Antrim County hand-counted the ballots, which caused their county to flip to President Donald Trump. According to the Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman, 48 of the state's 83 counties use the same software from Dominion Voting Systems.

There are now issues arising in Georgia in Spalding and Morgan Counties after it was revealed that a software update Monday night caused voting machines to crash on Election Day.

Spalding County Board of Elections Supervisor Marcia Ridley told POLITICO Dominion Voting Systems performed an update on machines. KnowInk, which makes electronic poll books to sign voters, also created an update. Both are something that is out of the norm, Ridley said.

"That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election,” Ridley explained, saying she had no idea what was in the update.

Dominion Voting Systems said the software had no impact in Georgia.

“Re Gwinnett – There is no evidence of any system software problem,” Kay Stimson, Dominion Voting Systems vice president of government affairs, in told The Washington Times in an email. “My understanding is that the system was hanging at certain points in processing adjudicated ballots due to a workstation set-up issue. Our technicians worked with the county to address it, and election officials moved on to re-adjudicating ballots by the next day.” ....MORE

UPDATE: The Michigan Secretary of State released a statement saying there was "no merit" to the glitch in Antrim County.

"The erroneous reporting of unofficial results from Antrim county was a result of accidental error on the part of the Antrim County Clerk. The equipment and

The execrable Gretchen Whitmer and her AG and Sec. of State are all activel working for the Dems to win all the time. They are as guilty as the vote fraud agents and will never admit to any crime by a Dem involving an election. Totally biased.

So this is like asking the Union officials in the first Civil War to rule on a Confederate election. Or vice versa. Active participants in a war.

In a battle between law and politics, most politicians will choose politics.

Incompetence for allowing a software change without thoroughly understanding why and then not testing to make sure that it really works.

Yes! Benson, the SOS is a true POS. Brazenly corrupt and arrogant. She’s worse than Whitmer.

Scott Adams details the likelihood that software algorithms are the best way to manipulate an election. Fast forward to the 30 minute mark to get to the meat of his hypothesis.

The one place that did an actual audit ended up having to reverse and give the precinct to Trump and We still have not heard one mention of this from any of Trumps team.

Dominion Voting Systems said the software had no impact in Georgia.

Given the announcements coming out of the GA SOS office, that statement didn't age well.

in re: post #12

Adams spends the first 30 minutes or so debunking the likelihood that dead voters and ballot harvesting could generate enough votes to overturn an election.

In short, employing Occam's Razor (my words, not Adams's) the simplest explanation to be preferred is that software programs, not glitches, produced the votes for Biden.

In short, the talk of ballot harvesting and dead voters are distractions. The question is, who CODED the software and why.

I am a retired IT professional, and I state emphatically that there is no such thing as a computer "glitch".

Computer programs are written to accomplish a task. This software was programmed to count and tabulate votes. If the program does anything else, such as assigning votes to the wrong candidate, someone programmed that function into the software! Don't believe the nonsense. The computer didn't have a 'glitch'. The whole thing was vote fraud, plain and simple!

Interesting document. The question is what did the IT experts in Texas find why this software/ hardware Democracy 5.5 was flawed and not secured?

Anything that takes 2 pages to deny is suspect. The more detail the easier it is verify..or not.
