Dominion Voting Systems Denies and Refutes Findings in Michigan Forensic Audit Report

Dominion Voting Systems, in response to a report from a company that performed a forensic audit in Michigan’s Antrim County, refuted the findings that were released Monday.

“There were no software ‘glitches’ that ‘switched’ votes in Antrim County or anywhere else,” the firm wrote. “The errors identified in Antrim County were isolated human errors not involving Dominion.”

“Extremely thorough and rigorous audits are performed on all EAC certified tabulation systems by third-party test labs, chosen by the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission and accredited by a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology,” the company wrote in an email. “Their tests include complete source code reviews, volume and accuracy tests, along with post-election audits and verifications.”

The firm went on to describe the alleged problems described by Allied Security Operations as routine and due to officials in Antrim County failing to update the tabulator software.

Dominion said, “Antrim County does not license nor use digital adjudication. To the extent Antrim County needed to resolve any absentee ballots, it was done manually … outside the tabulation system.”

The company also said that Antrim County and other areas where Dominion machines are used have a “paper ballot record” for all votes that were cast.

Allied Security and co-founder Russell Ramsland, however, found that ballot-adjudication logs and the security logs for the Nov. 3 general election appear to have been removed; logs for prior elections are still present on the machines.

It’s a simple thing, fellows. Just sue them for defamation, and then let’s proceed to discovery, shall we? That outta be fun.

[EvilCapitalist]

Just because Dominion denies the findings, doesn’t mean they aren’t true.

Does anyone really expect Dominion to say, “Well, hell yes, we rigged that machine to flip votes!!”

[LoveMyFreedom]

Should they only say anything different.

Dominion said, “Antrim County does not license nor use digital adjudication. To the extent Antrim County needed to resolve any absentee ballots, it was done manually … outside the tabulation system.”

I believe the claim being made against Dominion is something like this:

1) It was easy to feed ballots into the machines in a way that would require "adjudication".
2) Adjudication was a manual process that left no auditable trail.
3) If a poll worker wanted to manufacture votes, they could do it and no one would observe or be able to trace the theft.
4) Dominion left this door open, for this purpose, and they achieved plausible deniability.

I think if your election SW has a built-in facility to "adjudicate/change" votes without leaving any log of the action, then your SW is not appropriate for an honest election.

Dominion described the problems found as routine? Well, there is your problem.

Audit logs erased? Routine. Open passwords? Routine. Users utilize super user account? Routine. No logging of who changed which ballot and in what manner? Routine.

Hard to see what one would modify to make Dominion any more accessible to criminal fraud.

[Red Badger]

Well, of course they do.

Why would they admit to a criminal activity?...............

The issue here IS the integrity of the adjudication process.

The integrity is ONLY preserved when opposing parties participate and AGREE ON THE DISPOSITION!!

When no agreement is reached, it is to be registered as a NON-VOTE.

There is no circumstance where 68% of ballots should be sent for adjudication.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Never give up the con.

[livius]

Very good points.

[Texas Eagle]

Ahhhh, but there WERE errors.

Thank you. Now, how can these errors be identified? And, more importantly, what are the steps one must take to cause your machine to err?<>

“Extremely thorough and rigorous audits are performed on all EAC certified tabulation systems by third-party test labs, chosen by the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission and accredited by a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology,” the company wrote in an email. “Their tests include complete source code reviews"...

If it's true that Dominion's "proprietary" source code is reviewed by the so-called "bi-partisan Election Assisstance commission" third parties for accreditation, then they shouldn't mind a truly independent third-party expert review their source code ... right?

Dear Dominion,

Why was the ballot reject rate 68%, and where are the audit logs?

Thanks,

These statements are in opposition. Software needing an update is not ‘human error’. Software not performing correctly without an update is not ‘human error’.

[BuffaloJack]

This is exactly what one would expect Dominion to say.
Ask any felon in prison and they will all proclaim their innocence.

[Don@VB]

My question: Who was responsible for maintaining all these records that disappeared? Was it a single entity? Were any parties questioned?

[LastDayz]

If that’s the case, then why did Texas tell them to get bent.

[Ford4000]

One wonders what was tested and to what end. The software is obviously insecure and the logs are incomplete and easily delete-able.
