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.
You mean, like, with a cloth? /Hillary.
Look, they pinged google.com and it times out. Clearly it’s not on the internet. What more can you want??
This Law and Crime articles are leftist garbage WHY post them here don’t we get enough of this crap everywhere else??
How many votes were adjudicated? That is the number of votes that were modified. A real audit would perform involved tests including how many votes were changed, review the audit log to see why they were changed and by whom. Another test would be can the audit log be tampered with or replaced. Hint: the audit log does not document what was changed on the adjudicated ballots or by whom. Also, the audit log is completely open to tampering and even replacing. And those are just the tip of the spear of the issues.
Talk about letting the fox guard the hen house
The conflict of interest is obvious and since they were allowed to disassemble the machines and access the software and data on the machines it more likely they were there tamper with the machines to destroy the evidence.
The Maricopa Board of Supervisors did the audit in secret and violated AZ election laws by barring third party Republican or Democrat observers from witnessing the contractors to prevent them from tampering with the vote machines. This is obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence.
Ballot harvesting with questionable/borderline legal mail in ballots did...that’s quite frankly where the GOP has to improve or else Nov 3 will look a high school class president election
The time to have done this was on November 4th. As soon as the election became suspect (which was the evening of the 3rd) Trump should have turned out the Marshal’s Service to impound the machines in suspect States/Counties. Too much time has passed now to show any malfeasance — especially since the chain of custody (and connectivity) is now under doubt.
It’s one of the two most exasperating things about Trump. He hesitated too easily to take action on many issues that affected his term. The second was his abysmal selection of talent — which likely affected the first.
“N/A - Not in the scope of work”
Too bad, that. It’s the work that actually mattered here.
So someone, more than likely from the criminal DC government, got to them too.
Vote switching is a feature written into the software. It was used in 2014, 16 & 18. Two counties in south Texas had to shut down their machines in 2016 and hand out paper ballots for this reason. Machines were switching Trump votes to hillary. I heard about it by 10am that morning.
This might be the software, not the machine itself, but it has been documented since at least 2014, when a governor went in to vote for himself and found his vote switched to his opponent, who was a democrat. He went back to the start page and redid it 3 times, then brought in a video crew (already there do do a publicity stunt, gov votes today) and showed it on tv, Fox news was still trying to be honest. I saw that video several times.
Texas reviewed the Dominion machines for 2020 and said no way. They thought the Dominion machines were unacceptable. I don’t know what they did use, but it was not Dominion.
And why am I supposed to believe an audit done 3 months later, after they’ve had plenty time to cover their tracks? Oh sure, here look all you want...while his cronies are out back smashing the usb drives with ball pean hammers...
Could poll watchers even see the ballots?
Signatures not Verified?
Ballots arriving after deadline?
Host of other problems...
But one of the biggest scams was rejected ballots by the machines. The rejected ballots were counted without supervision. The person counting these ballots had complete freedom to adjust the vote anyway they wanted.
Don’t even get me started about military ballots going over 90% to Biden.
Anyone know if these machines had the Ranked Choice Voting software installed?
Bkmk
This entire report is therefore WORTHLESS.
Can you provide a reference to accusations Dominion voting system was “vote switching” in Arizona.
If everything is on the up and up in Maricopa County, why have they been fighting tooth and nail against the subpoena from the Arizona state legislature?
Re: #6 - Thank you for the link.
2020 Election - bump for later....
Adjudication set to reject 70%-80% of Trump ballots.
Those ballots are switched to Biden and reprinted.
Original ballots are shredded.
Logs at deleted.
