Dominion refutes forensic reports of voting machine vulnerabilities and irregularities

On January 9, 2020 in Washington, d.c., the house administration committee hearing on Capitol hill, from left to right, respectively, the election system with the software company President and CEO Tom Burt (Burt) Tom, gas-centred company President and CEO John prologis (John Poulos), Hart InterCivic company President and CEO Julie Matisse alliance special action group (ASOG) on Monday (Dec. 14) open to Michigan gas-centred voting machines and software method of the audit results, It said the machines were “deliberately” and “purposefully” designed to create fraud that could affect election results.

Russell Ramsland, an election security expert and co-founder of ASOG, told the press, “The voting system is deliberately generating a large number of ballot errors. The electronic ballot is then forwarded for adjudication. These deliberate errors resulted in a large number of votes being counted — without oversight, transparency, or audit trails. This encourages voter fraud or election fraud. Based on our research, we concluded that the Dominion Voting system should not be used in Michigan. Our further conclusion is that the results for Antrim county should not be verified.”

Ramsland was a Reagan administration official who worked for NASA. He and other ASOG members inspected the Dominion Machine in Antrim County, Mich., earlier this month.

“There has been no software ‘failure’ to ‘switch’ ballots in Antrim County or anywhere else,” Dominion counters. “Errors found in Antrim County are isolated human errors and do not involve Dominion Corporation.”

The company said in an email: “The third-party testing lab selected by the bipartisan Election Assistance Committee has conducted an extremely thorough and rigorous audit of all election-certified tabulating systems and has been accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for a program. These tests include full source code reviews, quantitative and accuracy tests, and post-election audits and validation.”

Dominion said the problem ASOG described was a “routine problem” because Antrim County officials had not updated the tabulating machine software. It goes: “Antrim County does not accept or use digital adjudication. Any absentee ballot that antrim County needs to resolve is done manually outside of the tabulating system.”

The company also says Antrim County and other areas using the Dominion’s machines have all paper voting records.

In a variation of the forensic audit report, however, Dominion’s story was challenged by Ramsland, ASOG’s co-founder, who found that anslim County had had ballot records and security logs removed from the November 3 election, while previous election records and logs remained on the machines.

“The adjudicative process is the simplest way to manipulate the vote by hand. The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability, and their apparent absence is highly questionable as documents from previous years using the same software still exist.” Mr Ramsland said they concluded after the investigation that “the record for the 2020 election cycle was manually deleted”.

Forensic auditors said they were particularly shocked to discover that the records were missing because the machines rejected so many ballot decisions that election workers manually determined the final result of each ballot. In Antrim County, meanwhile, they checked a machine error rate of 68.05 percent, well above the 0.0008 percent allowed by the Federal Election Commission.

Ramsland went further and described the machines as a “national security issue” and suggested that President Trump take executive action.

Rumsfeld said, “because (machine) deliberately appear high error rate, resulting in a large number of votes needed by the election staff to rule, we should infer that the batch ruling (authenticity), however, because of the lacking of archives and the ruling records, where we have not yet determined the batch ruling, also not sure who is in charge.”

In another development, an attorney for the Michigan elections case said last week that an investigation found that the error in the Dominion voting machine in Antrim County, Michigan, that initially claimed Mr. Biden’s lead was caused by problems with the Dominion voting machine, not by what state election officials called human error.
