The Antrim Michigan Forensics Report done by the Allied Security Operations group (Click for link to report) was, to any IT person, a nearly nauseating indictment of the Dominion Voting System and its setup and execution in Antrim County, Michigan.
It was appalling. Any IT person who was involved in setting up a system in this fashion to be used for anything more than storing cat and dog videos would never be able to get a job in a respectable IT organization.
Personally, I was astonished to read it. Astonished and angry.
I have not easily found on the Internet a cogent explanation of the workflow followed to get election results from a voter to the eyes of the viewing public, so I thought I would take a stab at it, and request the assistance of knowledgeable Freepers who may have more knowledge about it than I do, both from an IT perspective and a Dominion systems perspective.
I had found this diagram of a generic Dominion System setup:
I don't know precisely how things are set up, but this statement from the forensic report linked above gives a clue: "...Ballots sent to adjudication can be altered by administrators, and adjudication files can be moved between different Results Tally and Reporting (RTR) terminals with no audit trail of which administrator actually adjudicates (i.e. votes) the ballot batch..."
On the basis of that, I assume that probably each county has a NAS, Database, and Document server installed. (It could be one for the whole state that all the RTR (Result Tally and Reporting workstation) but since they looked at one "Server" for Antrim County, I assume each county has its own "server farm" consisting of a NAS, Database, and Document Servers.
These servers in this county "node" (don't know if that is the correct term or not) are booted off of a USB drive and run on Linux. All the "Democracy Suite" applications which design and configure the election parameters are done on these.
The legal team got their hands on the Antrim County server system to do a forensic analysis on.
It looks like a person's vote has two main pathways into the system, one for the mail in/Absentee voters (on the Left side) and one for the standard polling locations. The "RTR" system (which I presume is a "Democracy Suite EMS Results Tally and Reporting system) and when you look at the setup, that is obviously a key area (at the bottom of the graphic, just to the right of center). Everything goes through that component of the system.
So, nobody really explains this anywhere the workflow I could easily find, so I think the workflow goes as I describe below (note: I don't know if this is exact, but this is very similar to systems I am familiar with that store images, so this is my best guess):
What was happening here was that the voting machines at the polls and the scanners for mail in ballots were getting errors reading huge numbers of ballot images (overall it was 68% errored, and in one precinct, it was more than 80% errored)
ALL these errored ballots were thrown into a status requiring them to be adjudicated by a human. Watch this video below to see how easy it was to go to the scanners (which were not being watched the same way a polling machine was) where a user could take a blank ballot and feed it in over and over and over again, and all these blank ballots would show up in the database as requiring adjudication by a human, who could batch adjudicate them ALL for one candidate if they wished to do so.
Think about it. All the audit trails are gone. Probably all the ballot images too. (My state deletes them within days after the election as many states apparently do, even though the law requires them to be preserved for 20 months...I think)
As an IT person, this paragraph from the report filled me with the most anger:
"...Super User Administrator account is the primary account used to operate the Dominion Election Management System which is a major security risk. The user logged in has the ability to make major changes to the system and install software which means that there is no oversight to ensure appropriate management controls - i.e. anyone who has access to the shared administrator user names and passwords can make significant changes to the entire voting system. The shared usernames and passwords mean that these changes can be made in an anonymous fashion with no tracking or attribution..."
I hope this helps us as citizens to understand what I see to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest Constitutional crisis in our history. Please feel free to poke holes in it or add to it.
I skimmed the Antrim report and was OUTRAGED that ALL accounts shared the same password. Anybody could sit down and use any logon ID with the common password and get in to do all sorts of mischief.
I was OUTRAGED by the completely missing log files. As you know, these just don’t go missing by themselves...unless Dominion has a script running to disable logging or delete the files.
I’m also OUTRAGED that we are using proprietary systems as opposed to open source that can be reviewed and improved by everybody. There’s no justifiable reason to use proprietary software other than to make wholesale cheating possible.
It is also OUTRAGEOUS that citizens cannot find the block flow diagrams and business processes used to tabulate and report votes.
Bkmk
Did you see the video interview of Joe Biden saying they had set up the most extensive vote fraud network, ever? It is prolly the only truthful recorded statement by the Biden team this election cycle. Why is anyone surprised at where we are at?
We need to use paper ballots. The trick, however, is to keep secrecy and transparency at the same time, not to mention integrity. This bastion of freedom should have had this figured out decades ago.
Fake paper ballots trucked in at 3AM on Nov 4th proves my point that counting paper ballots proves nothing. Once the outer envelopes with voter signature and ID are separated from the ballot itself, there is no way to know if the ballot is legit or fake.
Why would the damn dirty dems do that?
Loosy Goosy Easzy Peazy
You feel exactly as I do.
In a system where both security and accountability are the two most important and vital factors, both have been removed deliberately.
When Hillary Clinton set up her own email server, there was an assumption by some that perhaps it was set up in a sloppy manner deliberately but that she was entirely lazy in her efforts and had sent classified documents over an unsecure system without knowing it, forgetting she was using this half-baked personal mail system instead of the secure government one, or some blather like that.
When it was seen that the classification tags had been deliberately removed before sending certain documents, it removed all doubt. She was not only sloppy and lazy, but deliberately and purposefully breaking the law so that her emails could not be obtained under a FOIA request.
Same here. When I saw that the log files were missing, the thought that people were using the same password out of laziness (and the entire system was set up so insecurely out of ineptitude and laziness) was completely ruled out.
This insecurity was malignantly designed into it.
What they found in the report if I read it correctly was that the Dominion voting machines used in polling areas where people actually "pulled a lever" were marking two thirds of the votes as "errors", which automatically placed them into a status to be adjudicated.
And that meant that a person, any person, under a generic System Administrator login, could simply batch adjudicate (yes, you read that right...BATCH ADJUDICATE!!!!) an entire block of ballots for one candidate without examining a single ballot (in this case, Joe Biden) by simply doing a SELECT ALL, clicking a button to select a candidate to assign the votes to (in this case, Joe Biden) and then clicking an "ADJUDICATE" button, and you are done.
The system logs that would say something like:
11/03/2020 17:27:13-BALLOT IMAGE C12P4DEV18825B30291 ERROR 938771-OUT OF BOUNDS IMAGE-STATUS 7
11/03/2020 23:52:44-BATCH ADJUDICATION PERFORMED BY USER SMITH17. 10667 ADJUDICATIONS ASSIGNED TO CANDIDATE 1127BIDENJOSEPH. ADJUDICATION COMPLETE.
Are all gone, but in the event they were there, it would have said uselessly from an audit perspective:
11/03/2020 23:52:00-BATCH ADJUDICATION PERFORMED BY USER ADMINISTRATOR. 10667 ADJUDICATIONS COMPLETE.
So, if the logs had not been removed, and they didn't get a useless message with the SYSADMIN as the user, any real auditor could look at a secure un-tampered server run by people observing real security using their own passwords, and they would be able to say something like this from simply examining the logs if they were intact and not anonymized by the use of a SYSADMIN account"
AUDITOR: Hmm. All those ballots had a 938771 error where the image was out of bounds and uninterpretable, and all ended up in status 7 which means someone had to adjudicate them. That looks like it was user SMITH17. Find out who that is, and bring that user in for an interview. ask Mr. or Ms. Smith why all the votes adjudicated went to Joe Biden. I would also like to impound and examine the IMAGECAST PRECINCT machine 18825 from Precinct 4 in Antrim County to find out why it errored 10,667 ballots from a total of 15,676 ballots cast there. That is two thirds. We need to drill down on that. Maybe a torn piece of paper was obscuring part of the image lens, or maybe a deformed ballot, knocked it out of alignment, but we need to look at that. We should also get our hands on another machine from that precinct and from another one as well to perform an analysis on to see if this problem with errored ballots is more widespread. Get going.
Instead, they might have no idea what machine was error prone, what kind of error it encountered, what precinct or machine it was, what status the error sent it to, and who adjudicated it.
Apparently, they found out the errors were from one ballot machine (an ImageCast type "Precinct" machine they audited, that showed the errors in a log-I think) otherwise, the logs weren't on the Servers in the Dominion Democracy Suite EMS system and they wouldn't have seen the errors. I think, but am not sure about this.
They were belt and suspenders secure all right. Secure in making sure they covered their tracks.
I am in complete agreement.
Yes. This should all be public record and EASILY accessible. Again, I don’t know exactly how much of this workflow I got right or wrong, but I shouldn’t have to noodle it out.
I would go so far as to suggest inking a finger is compulsory for having voted, including that presentation of UN-inked finger and ID are prerequisite.
PLUS a whistleblower statute for election fraud with both a compensatory outcome for whistleblowers and vastly increased mandatory penalties for the actors (no different than how the drug courts work, including lower sentences for turning on the ‘management’).
Late arriving ballots were supposed to have been sequestered, but this was ignored in violation of law.
Even with the separation of envelope and ballot, ballots can be optically and spectrographically examined to identify pressure points from ink pens and folds as well as ink chemistry to identify machine-manufactured vs human made ballots.
Statistical analyses can rule out hastily made ballots with no down-ballot votes.
All these safeguards have been proposed, but none of them has been executed all pointing to wide scale fraud.
the way the system is now wi mail-ins counted last, all election day in person voting does is tell them how many votes they have to forge.
Exactly. Which is why, in four major battleground states, they all stopped counting around the same time, and there were huge influxes of Biden votes after that.
Nothing to see here.
I spent 37 years living in Chicago area. So I got to observe the democrats in action close and center. Very familiar with their tactics in city of Chicago under mayor Daley and Cook County chair George Dunne. Just take my word, those political machines were powerful and ran the system their way.
I KNEW we were in big trouble when that Chicago political machine hack Obama was headed to POTUS. He brought the “Chicago Way” with him and we are still reeling from it. It looks like Obama Episode 3 is headed our way, too, unless God intervenes.
Thing is, EVERYONE (including the AntAms the name I now call the collective group of Leftists, Democrats, and RINOs) knows what should be done to have a secure election.
EVERYONE knows these things.
There are many, many more, but these are just examples. We ALL know this. But the AntAms fight fiercely against implementing ANY of these things.
To any dispassionate observer, they would rightly ask the questions like "Why do the AntAms fight restrictions on Mail-In voting, Voter ID, voting windows, and keeping the rolls up to date?"
We all know the answer to that: Because they don't want a secure and fair election process. I don't give a crap what anyone thinks, I state unequivocally that Election Fraud and Voter Fraud is the SOLE DOMAIN OF THE ANTAMS. Anything illegal that happens on the Republican side is so small in comparison as to be completely insignificant.
