An elections supervisor in Coffee County, Georgia, demonstrated in recent videos posted online how Dominion Voting Systems voting software allows votes to be changed through an “adjudication” process. The process allows the operator to add vote marks to a scanned ballot as well as invalidate vote marks already on the ballot.

Adjudication should only serve to resolve issues of voters marking ballots incorrectly, such as filling the bubbles in a way that doesn’t clearly show who he or she voted for. Yet it appears a substantial number of ballots went through that process, at least in some Georgia counties. As the Coffee County supervisor, Misty Martin, showed, the system can be set to allow adjudication of all scanned ballots, even blank ones, and effectively allow the operator to vote those ballots.

How Dominion Software Allows Changing, Adding Votes
[Interesting.

The article makes it sounds like tampering with the vote is fairly easy and perhaps undetectable.

After thinking about this problem for all of 30 seconds… If I were writing the software for this feature it would print out a copy of the original ballot with the adjudicated vote indicated, a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) and a hash of votes and the GUID. The GUID and hash would be stored in the database with the other vote results. This would make an audit relatively easy and resistant to tampering.

Perhaps they did that or even something far better. But the article doesn’t indicate that. Concerns such as this need to be investigated.—Joe]

Supreme Court Denies to Block Pennsylvania From Certifying Election Results
[For some reason I find it amusing this is the entire order from the court on this case.—Joe]

Upon arrival in the processing room located on Level S of State Farm Arena, we were supposed to watch the processing of the Absentee Ballots from the observation area which was delineated by a fenced area of roping secured by posts. This observation area we were put in was very distant from the staff actually processing the ballots. The room where the ballot processing took place is a very large room, and this distance effectively prevented our actual observation of the process. In addition other areas of this – again very large – room were not visible at all from our observation area.

For example, the machine that copied the UOCAVA electronically received ballots (sometimes called military ballots) onto a paper copy of the same could only be viewed from the side and the doors to that area were positioned in a way that prevented us from viewing of this process. Additionally, the scanners that scanned the absentee ballots were not visible to us at all.

…

Sometime after 10 o’clock p.m., the counting activity slowed. Shortly afterward, a younger lady with long braided but blog hair yelled out to all of them they should stop working and come back tomorrow (the next day, November 4th) at 8:30 A.M.. Thereafter all but 4 election employees left State Farm, leaving just the blond haired lady (who Michelle and I assumed was the supervisor), to older ladies and Regina Waller at the location. This lady had appeared through the night and Michelle and I believed her to be the supervisor.

Another task we had been given by Brandon was to inquire how many ballots had been processed and how many were still left to go. We posed these questions to Regina Waller, the Public Affairs Manager for Elections. She seem uncomfortable at times answering us, and she called someone which we interpreted as asking for help on how to respond to us. Ultimately she refused to answer our questions and told us we had to “look it up on the website”. In all, we asked Regina Waller for this information at least three separate times and she would not give us an answer.

Attachment 28 Exhibit Affidavit of Mitchell Harrison
[This is directly related to this post.

I post this in response to those who say:

Nobody told them to stay. Nobody told them to leave. Nobody gave them any advice on what they should do. And It was still open for them or the public to come back in to view at whatever time they wanted to, as long as they were still working.

I would like to point out that to the best of my knowledge none of the responses from the poll workers are under oath or submitted such that they can be punished for perjury if they lied. If the affidavits in the court documents are knowingly in error then the providers of those documents are subject to criminal prosecution.

While it may be true the observers were not specifically told to leave the observation area there was no meaningful observation possible. The behavior toward of the poll workers was very suspicious (read Michelle Branton’s affidavit as well).

If they want to reassure the public the ballot counting was honest they should:

• Provide the video showing appropriate chain of custody of the ballot boxes from opening to when they were scanned and stored for recount.
• Do signature verification of all ballots with functional observation
• Recount the ballots with functional observation.

[Read the whole thing, less than five pages, and attempt to convince me that there should not be a bunch of people, including members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, going to prison over the crap they pulled.

I was talking to a friend yesterday. And a friend of his lives in Pennsylvania and saw a lot of unethical, if not illegal, stuff. Among other things, there were people wheeling people that were total “vegetables” in on wheelchairs to vote. Their “helper” would get them through the voter ID stuff and then vote for them. They were also also places where people could vote and votes were being counted but were called something other than a “polling place”. And because they where a “polling place” there were no observers required.

I urged that this person report the activities to law enforcement. My friend said he would forward the suggestion to his friend.

Despite poor recent performances, media and academic polls have an impressive 80 percent record predicting the winner during the modern era. But, when the polls err, non-polling metrics do not; the latter have a 100 percent record. Every non-polling metric forecast Trump’s reelection. For Trump to lose this election, the mainstream polls needed to be correct, which they were not. Furthermore, for Trump to lose, not only did one or more of these metrics have to be wrong for the first time ever, but every single one had to be wrong, and at the very same time…

Reasons why the 2020 presidential election is deeply puzzling
[Via Scott Adams and daughter Jaime.

We live in interesting times.—Joe]

I conclude with high confidence that the election 2020 data were altered in all battleground states resulting in a hundreds of thousands of votes that were cast for President Trump to be transferred to Vice President Biden. These alterations were the result of systemic and widespread exploitable vulnerabilities in DVS, Scytl/SOE Software and Smartmatic systems that enabled operators to achieve the desired results. In my view, the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible.

11. Despite DVS’s constant denial about the flaws of its systems, the company’s ImageCast Precinct optical scanner system was totally hacked in August 2019. This occurred during the largest and most notable hacker convention, called DEFCON Voting Machine Hacking Village in Nevada. The DVS ImageCast Precinct is an integrated hybrid voting equipment by combining an optical paper ballot and ballot marking device to allow accessibility for the visually impaired. The system runs the Busybox Linux 1.7.4 operating system, which has known medium to high level exploitable vulnerabilities to allow remote attackers to compromise the VDS. (J. Moss, H. Hurtsi, M. Blaze et al., Voting Village Report, DEFCON Village Report in association with and Georgetown University Law Studies; Online Source: https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2027/voting-village-report-defcon27.pdf). The report indicated that “many of the specific vulnerabilities reported over a decade earlier (in the California and Ohio studies, for example) are still present in these systems today (A. Padilla, Consolidated report by California Secretary of State, Top-to-Bottom Review summary and detailed report, Page 4 (Online Source: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ovsta/frequently-requested-information/top-bottom-review)

The operating system software is Busybox Linux 1.7.4. This was released in 2008. Yes, the O/S of the voting software in states of the most interest to the entire nation has not been updated in over 12 years. In the computer security world this is regarded as something close to highly radioactive and the hardware using this software should be immediately removed from network connections then decommissioned or updated.

In my job I report, on a weekly basis, computers which I have found that have reached end of life and are no longer supported when they are just one day past the date of last support. Something 12 years past support with a connection to the Internet would have my VP talking to someone else’s VP in a very stern tone of voice.

I know of some cases where the offending computer has been immediately disconnected from the network with no effort to contact the owners. The attitude being something along the lines of, “If they are this ignorant, stupid, and/or careless, they don’t deserve to be notified. Let them figure it out on there own—if they can.”

In this case the company has known for “over a decade” the system was insecure. My inclination is that this was no accident or carelessness. There is a high probability this was deliberate. People should go to prison for this.

It looks as if the Kraken has been released.—Joe]

It’s unfortunate, but short of a judge ordering a do-over, another election … short of that, I really don’t see how you fix this.

This election, it appears to me, has been decided by ballots that are highly questionable. They’re anomalous.

I cannot say with confidence who won this election. I don’t think anybody can.
