Voting machines remain a serious threat to honest, accurate, fair, and free elections, including next month’s (November 8th).
An outside, independent, forensic IT audit by the Allied Security Operations Group of the Dominion Voting System used in Antrim County, Michigan for the November 2020 election found that they were used to change the outcome of several races, including those for President (Trump actually won even though the Dominion systems initially made it look like Biden did), county supervisor, and others.
There were several other key audit conclusions from Allied’s December 13, 2020 report. “Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results” (page 1).
Allied continued on page 1, “The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.”
In addition, in conjunction with noting that Dominion voting systems were in use in 48 other Michigan counties, Allied concluded, “This is a national security imperative. … We recommend that an independent group should be empaneled to determine the extent of the adjudication errors throughout the State of Michigan. This is a national security issue” (pages 5 and 6).
It should be noted that Dominon Voting Systems were in use all six key swing states, including Wisconsin, in the November 2020 election. Just a couple of years earlier, Texas rejected Dominion due to serious concerns that they were not secure. Biden and Harris supposedly won all six states; however, an objective and diligent review of the evidence proves that President Trump and VP Pence actually won.
Other grave concerns surround the voting machines and software used in many U.S. states. For instance, the injection of structure query language (SQL) can be used to tamper with election results. On June 26, 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported, “The same SQL software found on voting machines in Michigan and Pennsylvania is likely on the voting machines in Arizona and Georgia.”
The report continued while covering an article in The Epoch Times on an Election System Analysis performed on Fulton County, Pennsylvania voting systems. “The review was conducted by Wake Technology Services, Inc. (‘Wake TSI’), whose report detailed the presence of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (‘SSDT’), on the Dominion Election Management System (‘EMS’) server. As noted on page 25 of Wake TSI’s report, “…Dominion has installed the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) on the server. This software is not part of the EAC (Election Assistance Commission) certified configuration and makes the system certification invalid.”
Writing election-hacking SQL scripts is relatively easy. As noted by blogger, Arthur Hicken, at a 2018 DefCon Hackathon, within 10 minutes, an 11-year-old was able to access election results data on a test system by using SQL injection. Even the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA; the agency whose notorious but shortly-fired-thereafter director, Chris Krebs, untruthfully called the November 2020 election the most secure in U.S. history) admitted in early June that voting machines are vulnerable to tampering and hacking.
Not even the alleged “reconciliation” of the number of paper ballots to voting machine totals ensures election integrity. This is because the actual image of each ballot marking can now be changed by the voting software to a programmed “winner.” So, for example, suppose in a town that 3,500 people actually voted for Trump, and 1,500 voted for Biden. Machine totals can’t validate those results. They simply show that 5,000 votes were cast, but not for whom.
Further, the author verified during the spring 2021 primary in Milwaukee that there is no actual IT system control in Dominion, ES&S, or any other voting machine or software that prevents a single physical ballot from being scanned multiple times and running up vote totals for a candidate. This is exactly what happened in Democrat-heavy downtown Atlanta on the evening of November 3, 2020, when all election observers and the media were illegally kicked out for about 100 minutes. Four hidden suitcases of illegal ballots were pulled out from under skirted tables and scanned and rescanned multiples times each, which conservatively estimated could have run up the ballot totals for a candidate by over 20,000. Biden supposedly won Georgia by 11,800-some votes.
Advocates for eliminating the high fraud potential of voting machines and software (e.g., ACT for America, John Birch Society, Heritage Action, etc.) support doing away with them and instead using secure, currency-grade paper ballots with concert-ticket technology, so each ballot can be accurately scanned and counted only once.
