An independent forensic audit of the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in Maricopa County, Arizona found that there was “no evidence of vote switching and concluded that the equipment tabulated and adjudicated ballots accurately” in the 2020 presidential election, according to government reports produced Tuesday.
“The audits clearly dispel the notion that somehow the November election was rigged,” said County Supervisor Steve Gallardo. “Whether you liked the results or not, the will of the people was represented. Our equipment worked. Our people were above reproach. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: 2020 elections in Maricopa County were safe, secure, and accurate. End of story.”
The Maricopa Board of Supervisors in January unanimously voted to conduct the audits in response to false conspiracy theories propagated by Donald Trump and other Republicans, who claimed that Dominion’s machines were used to steal votes from Trump so Joe Biden would win. The former president and his allies filed several post-election lawsuits challenging election results in Arizona, none of which have succeeded.
The audits of the tabulation equipment’s software and hardware were conducted by SLI Compliance and Pro V&V, the only two firms approved by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to perform such certification tests.
According to the reports, the firms utilized a four-step evaluation process to analyze the equipment for hacking vulnerabilities, verify that no malicious software was installed, ensure voting tabulators were not being manipulated over the internet, and confirm that no votes were switched.
The firms examined all nine of the county’s central tabulators, which are used for processing large quantities of ballots, all four workstations and two servers used to operate the county’s election management system. They also did random testing of 35 out of the 350 precinct-based tabulators, and four of 20 adjudication stations, which allow ballots with exceptions or outstack conditions such as over-votes, blank ballots, write-ins and marginal marks, to be resolved.
Both firms found no evidence of malicious software and no evidence the tabulators were connected to the internet. Pro V&V found no indication that any votes were switched.
“The work of these two qualified firms, combined with the work done by our Elections Department, confirms that 2.1 million ballots in the November election were counted as they were cast,” said County Supervisor Clint Hickman. “Our entire team put so much time and energy into running good elections in 2020. These audits are an affirmation of everyone’s hard work and prove what my colleagues and I have been saying all along: our elections were run with integrity and the results we canvassed were accurate.”
The Board also hired Berry Dunn, a Certified Public Accounting firm, to review county contracts with Dominion to verify that the county leased the equipment in accordance with state and county procurement regulations.
A summary of the report and the full report are available on the county’s website.
Focusing on the machines was a big red-herring.
Dominion Software didn’t steal the election. Questionable mail-in ballots with even more questionable signature verification standards stole the election.
Just as DJT said...
* Software was certified? Check
* Malware? Check. (are they qualified to find root-kits? or just run some AV checker?)
* Internet connection? Check.
* Logic and Accuracy check to determine if vote switching COULD occur? FAIL - no forensic audit conducted!
Reconcile with Leonardi and the STOLEN ELECTION
and that Malta's Roberts PROUDLY KNEW (like Bidan)
that Trump could not win .... even with more votes.
SCOTUS STOLE THE ELECTION before the election.
The ELECTION WAS STOLEN a priori by BIDEN AND SCOTUS
and COVERED UP BY BIDEN, PELOSI, SCOTUS and McConnell.
and THAT is why they could not take the case THEY CAUSED.
LOL - what a lie. Not exactly an independent audit. First, this was the same audit that certified these machines to begin with, not bloody likely they would find a problem now!
When was this audit done? Were the machines locked down securely immediately after the election? If not the software could have been updated.
And fraudulent ballots fed into the machines. Eyewitnesses reported ballots with only Jao Bai-Din and Kamala Harris because the con artists couldn't print batches down to the municipal level. (They'll do that next time though).
Of course, who would trust a computer audit from the same company that committed the crime? It's like asking a counterfeiter to verify the legitimacy of one of their documents.
Those machines were immediately wiped clean. JMHO
Exactly. Dominion didn’t switch or miscount any ballots at all — or their error rate was minuscule. The real issue is that the machines CORRECTLY counted potentially millions of FRAUDULENT ballots.
This last week’s story. Everything has changed now that we can see ballots and machines. AND., And examined by peeps with no incentive to cover up.
Check back in a week or 2.
If they were just tabulating machines then their results were dependent on the garbage fed them. Garbage in and garbage out.
They aren’t done with that either (as part of the Senate ordered audit, not Maricopa County self checking).
These auditors are the same company that certified the Dominion machines in the first place before the election. They would be crazy to suddenly find discrepancies in the paperwork that they produced already.
What we don’t see is the actual adjudication rates for each machine and the adjudication logs that show who changed what votes if any. If there were no internet connection from the tabulators how did the vote totals get processed by the Scytl servers in Germany?
This is just more media spin and cover up. Until ASOG people review the machines I’m not buying a word of it.
Yes they do. I am a Technology auditor and the test performed are laughable.
or old fashioned just running the same ballots through the machine......
Or fake signature verification on fake ballots.....
Maybe just giving the voting list to a foreign country, figuring out who didn’t vote by midnight, and then having pre-printed ballots (all for Joe Biden) then assigned to those non-voters in the middle of the night.
Or just tossing or damaging Trump ballots....
Or all of the above.
The machines worked exactly as Dominion intended them to work. The audit verified they did as Dominion designed them to work.
That doesn’t mean there wasn’t any fraud. It’s the same thing they did with the FISA scandal. All the paperwork was filed properly. Doesn’t answer the question about criminal fraud however.
