Dominion Audit Contains Bad News: Ballot Error Rate Was At Least 85,000 Times Higher Than FEC Allows

A Michigan judge ordered the release Monday of an independent forensic audit report of the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in Antrim County, which flipped from a win for Democrat Joe Biden to President Donald Trump after a glitch was discovered and corrected.

The audit, which was led by Russell Ramsland of the Dallas-based Allied Security Operations Group, revealed over a 68 percent ballot error rate — at least 85,000 times higher than the Federal Election Commission guidelines allow.

Additionally, Ramsland’s team reported the “extremely suspicious” absence of logs regarding the abnormally high number of digitally adjudicated ballots.

Antrim County in northern Michigan made headlines last month after the discovery of an Election Day computer “glitch” that had falsely switched the county from a win for Trump to a Biden victory.

The amended results showed the president winning the county with 9,748 votes to Biden’s 5,960.

Ramsland’s report said that of the 15,676 individual voting events recorded on the Dominion Voting Systems in Antrim County, 10,667 ballots — 68.05 percent — were errors.

The allowable election error rate established by the FEC guidelines is 1 in 500,000 ballots, but Ramsland’s team used 1 in 125,000 or 0.0008 percent, making the requirement less strict to account for vagueness in the law, Ramsland said in a text to The Western Journal.

In other words, what occurred in Antrim County was at least 85,000 times higher than what is allowable.

Ramsland’s team also said it found that a “staggering number” of votes were digitally adjudicated in 2020.

The report explains that Dominion software classifies ballots in two categories: normal and adjudicated.

Ballots sent to adjudication can be altered by administrators, as was demonstrated by an election worker in Georgia last week.

“A staggering number of votes required adjudication,” the report said. “This was a 2020 issue not seen in previous election cycles still stored on the server. This is caused by intentional errors in the system. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency and no audit trail.”

“Significantly, the computer system shows vote adjudication logs for prior years; but all the adjudication logs log entries for the 2020 election cycle are missing,” Ramsland’s team said. “The adjudication process is the simplest way to manually manipulate votes. The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability, and their conspicuous absence is extremely suspicious since the files exist for previous years using the same software.

“Removal of these files violates state law and prevents a meaningful audit, even if the [secretary of state] wanted to conduct an audit. We must conclude that the 2020 election cycle records have been manually removed.”

The audit also found Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s statement on Nov. 6 that “the correct results [in Antrim] always were and continue to be reflected on the tabulator totals tape” to be false.

Sixty-four Michigan counties use Dominion Voting Systems, according to WLNS-TV in Lansing.

Attorneys for the state of Michigan sought to prevent the Ramsland audit from being released, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.

Assistant Attorney General Erik Grill called it “inaccurate, incomplete and misleading.”

However, Judge Kevin Elsenheimer of the 13th Circuit Court in Michigan approved the release with some references to software coding redacted.

Current results in the state show Biden leading Trump by approximately 154,000 votes.

In an interview in the spring, Ramsland told The Western Journal those seeking to swing a U.S. presidential election electronically would just have to focus on a few key swing states.

“So if you want to change the presidency of this country, all you really have to do is put your whole team on making sure that your guy wins precinct by precinct in at least a semi-believable number in five states and probably only the big metropolitan areas of five states,” he said.

The Arizona Republican Party has filed suit to gain access to review the digitally adjudicated and duplicated ballots in Maricopa County, which encompasses Phoenix and also uses Dominion Voting Systems.

An initial review of 100 random ballots allowed by a judge found a 3 percent variance in favor of Biden.

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward said Monday that the case is being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court after being rejected by the Arizona Supreme Court.

Biden’s current lead in the Grand Canyon State is 10,457 votes.

Correction: An earlier version of this story misspelled the first name of Russell Ramsland.

It appears that fraud doesn’t matter.

The rule of law appears to be a dead letter.

It’s OK, just ignore. The Senate Majority Leader has not only declared Biden the winner but has warned Senate Republicans to “not question the election results”.

85,000 times higher allowed error rate is not enough to change the outcome of the election.

Until we see it was 100,000 times higher. Then, we’d be talking serious errors that *might* change the election outcome.

“at least 85,000 times higher than the Federal Election Commission guidelines allow”

So, what is the consequence if that guideline is violated?

A sternly worded letter from the FEC?

Do you know what 85000 times higher means?
If you don’t go study statistics!
TRUMP WON.

Very possible we are seeing how the 80 million votes were made.

Maybe We The People should take a stand, say boycott leftist industry products like Apple, (check out this company), or maybe demand a complete account of the Biden Crime Families holdings, where they get their wealth etc.....America's president elect is Joe Biden, the official head of the BCF - Biden Crime Family making We The People subject to slavery by the Chinese should the courts continue to refuse to hear evidence about the BCF.

Whatever, either We The People fight for our Republic, our Constitution, those laws, and President Trump as our duly elected President, again, OR we submit to tyranny.

I’m not getting the math here. 85,000*0.0002 = 17, not .6805 (the 0.0002 comes from 1/500,000*100).

Near as I can tell it’s .6805/.0002 = 3402.5 times greater.

Anyone care to explain how the 85,000 times greater number is arrived at or what is wrong with the 3402.5 number I arrived at?

Get with the program, Citizen. These leftists and their
enabling quislings want you to only face their truth. To do otherwise is to be unpatriotic.

I think I might see how they are getting there, but it is still wrong...

.6805/.0008 = 850 (dividing percentage by percentage). If you then multiply this number by 100 you get 85K.

I don’t believe the math is correct there and they are still using the report number, which is stated to be incorrect. If you take .6805/.0002 you get 3,402.5 (3400 times greater than the [correct] Fed allowance).

.0002*3402.5 = .6805, or the same percentage in the report.

The 85,000 is correct. 68.05/.0008=850625.

You converted 68.05% to .6805 but did not convert .0008% to .000008. They used the higher .0008 in the calculation.

I meant to respond to you in my post above where I show the math and how I believe they got there incorrectly.
