It's a Start: At last! Dominion voting machines being forensically audited

Thanks to a court order by a judge in Michigan’s 13^th circuit, Dominion election equipment software and hardware in tiny (population: 23,000) Antrim County, Michigan is being examined by a team of experts brought in by the Trump lawyers. Jack Phillips of The Epoch Times reports:

President Donald Trump’s legal team began a forensic analysis of Dominion voting machines in Michigan after a judge on Dec. 4 permitted examination.

“Our team is going to be able to go in this morning at about 8:30 [a.m.] and will be there for about eight hours to conduct that forensic examination and we’ll have the results in about 48 hours, and that’ll tell us a lot about these machines,” attorney Jenna Ellis told Fox News on Dec. 6.

“A judge actually granted our team access … to conduct a forensic audit,” Ellis added.

Ellis was referring to a ruling from a judge in Antrim County, Michigan, who authorized the audit of 22 Dominion Voting Systems machines, said Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. It isn’t clear which of the several election lawsuits the order originated from.

Later, Antrim County spokesperson Jeremy Scott told the Detroit Free Press that forensic images will be taken from voting machines used during the Nov. 3 election. Judge Kevin Elsenheimer issued the order regarding a challenge from voter William Bailey, who filed a lawsuit alleging that ballots were damaged in a recounting of ballots in a marijuana proposal that narrowly passed, reported Fox News. Elsenheimer’s order doesn’t mention the presidential race, and it isn’t yet clear whether the order allows Trump’s team to examine the machines.

Curiously, Twitter is refusing to connect to (“blocking”)this tweet with video of Trump attorney Jenna Ellis commenting on the audit (screen grab from here below):

Antrim County is the strongly Republican-leaning county in northern Michigan, on the eastern shore of Grand Traverse Bay, where it was initially reported that Joe Biden had won, but where investigation revealed that 6,000 Trump votes had been credited to Biden, by a “glitch.”

There is nor report yet that I am aware of on the results of the audit, but this tweet by a Michigan-based writer would seem to indicate some … uh … irregularities:

🔴🔴BREAKING NEWS!🔴🔴 The forensic examination of Dominion voting machines and key cards has begun in Antrim County Michigan! @realDonaldTrump votes were first given to @JoeBiden - MAIN THUMB DRIVE LOST- THEN FOUND IN UNLOCKED DRAWER IN UNSECURED AREA! — Steve Gruber (@stevegrubershow) December 6, 2020

Cynicism is utterly warranted. We don’t know if the machines have been under seal, or whether they might have been altered. But let’s see what the audit produces before coming to a conclusion.

One month too late. More than Plenty of time to clean up the evidence of crimes.

[BenLurkin]

I fear you are correct.

[1Old Pro]

They need to be able to examine the ballots as well.

[rktman]

Lucky there hasn’t been time to modify anything since 11/4 huh...... Oh?!

[yoe]

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[elpadre]

Shouldn’t the state police forensic examiners be doing the investigation rather than the “team?”

[yoe]

Who do We The People turn to if our Department of Justice is too weak to do the job of cleaning up this election....? Joe Biden didn't win anything....President Trump is the glue that is holding this nation together - Why is Barr not acting on the evidence?

[reegs]

If the machines start smoking, we're screwed.

[Aliska]

Hopeful news. Not all have gone I over to the dark side.

[Ancesthntr]

That needs to go viral.

Perhaps our esteemed legal team should have been filing motions a month a ago, rather than tweeting and doing TV interviews.

The entire government is obviously DEEP STATE.

Government job benefits are far superior to private.
I should know, I worked for both. You will not believe my cushy retirement from the government funded job.

Almost ALL Gov’t employees (includes law enforcement) like the way it is. They do not trust a businessman to continue calling the shots for 4 more years after witnessing his success in 1st term. They are petrified and do not wish their gravy train ended.

It is NOT complicated. That is why FBI, DOJ, State Police, or any other gov’t employees want Trump gone.

“It is NOT complicated. That is why FBI, DOJ, State Police, or any other gov’t employees want Trump gone.”

A good reason why using the Insurrection Act could backfire on PDJT. The boots on the ground he would need to enforce the Act would turn on him and arrest us.

I seem to remember reading just this past weekend that two stacks of ballots — exactly half for Trump, half for Biden — were fed into a suspect counting device several times. The results should have been 50% - 50% but instead came up with the identical results showing Biden the winner. The same 50-50 batch was fed thru several times, and each time Biden was the winner by the same margin. C’mon man!

They have less than a week left to make something of this.

I think it is time for all States using these Machines to cancel whatever Contracts they have with Dominion and pursue alternatives. They might want to look to Texas and Florida for hints on future machines.

I prefer the term “Government Class” to “Deep State”.

As we have seen, it’s really is everyone employed by government at all levels that are the problem. That includes law enforcement and military. We have allowed the government class to act as a special interest for itself, and because of what it is, it has overwhelmed all of society, even to the point of co-opting the largest companies, fascist-style, in the supposed “free economy.”

Is it any wonder that they would react as they have to the rest of society trying to reign them in by putting a president in office that represents the rest of society, not the government class? They yearn for the Chinese system and a government of the government, by the government and for the government.

Nothing new under the sun, I suppose.

If there was such a 50:50 ballot stack that wasn’t getting counted correctly, don’t you think someone would take a video and post it online? Everyone has access to a 1080p cell phone video camera and social media account.

As far as I know, not one instance of a machine failing to correctly count ballots is on video.

Signature verification was disabled and undeliverable ballots were harvested and filled in.
