A forensic audit report of Dominion voting machines in Michigan’s Antrim County, which received national attention after an “error” “flipped” 6,000 votes for President Donald Trump to Joe Biden was released Monday after a judge allowed the report to be unsealed! To which we ask, "How much of this goes on?"
The report, produced by a group
working on behalf of Antrim County resident William Bailey, who filed a
lawsuit against the County challenging the integrity of the election equipment,
claims the “error” that “flipped” 6,000 votes was “machine error.”
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson previously concluded that the problem was
caused by "...human error!"
The audit was produced by Allied Security Operations Group, a firm that has worked with lawyers for Trump and his allies on election challenges. The report was under protective order until Monday when 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ordered that the group could release the findings.
Elsenheimer, a former Republican lawmaker, allowed the release after state and county officials withdrew their objections. The Michigan Secretary of State, a Democrat, has dismissed the report as “inaccurate, incomplete and misleading.”
“The Antrim County Clerk and Secretary of
State Jocelyn Benson have stated the election night error detailed above
by the vote ‘flip’ from Trump to Biden, was the result of human error caused by
the failure to update the Mancelona Township tabulator prior to election night
for a down ballot race,” reads the report by Allied Security Operations Group.
“We disagree and conclude that the vote flip occurred because of machine error
built into the voting software designed to create error.” What? This is shocking!!!
“We conclude that the Dominion Voting System
is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create
systemic fraud and influence election results,” the audit report charged. “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 creates an opportunity for election fraud and it is written into the computer program code!
Allied Security Operations Group concludes the Dominion system “should not be used in Michigan” and the Antrim County
results “should not have been certified" and this is not the first time an official election supervising body has come to this conclusion.
Last weekend, Judge Eisenheimer ordered Antrim County election officials to preserve all election materials and refrain from operating any of the county’s Dominion Voting Systems machines ahead of a forensic audit by the Trump campaign.
“Antrim County election officials
discovered that ‘human error’ flipped 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden after
Bailey alerted them to some inconsistencies in the county’s reporting of the
vote,” The
Daily Wire noted earlier this month. “The Michigan Secretary of
State’s office said that ‘the clerk accidentally did not update the software
used to collect voting machine data and report unofficial results.'” As one who has had a 40 year association with computers and their programming let me that statement is BS.
“The erroneous reporting of unofficial
results from Antrim county was a result of accidental error on the part of the
Antrim County Clerk,” the state said. “The equipment and software did not
malfunction and all ballots were properly tabulated. However, the clerk
accidentally did not update the software used to collect voting machine data
and report unofficial results.” Again, whatever "updating" there would have been would be minor and done in minutes. This is a dodge.
Assistant Attorney General Erik
Grill claims the audit analysis is “inaccurate, incomplete and
misleading,” the Detroit Free Press reported Monday. “There’s no reason to hide,” Grill
said. “There is nothing to hide.” "Methinks thy protestith too much." Shakespeare, King Lear.
Benson withdrew her objection to releasing the report, said Grill, because the attorney representing Bailey had given interviews to the press in which he leveled allegations about the election results and Benson. “Any attempt to suppress the report now would only incorrectly be seen as an attempted coverup, he said,” the Free Press reports.
“Dominion Voting Systems and
the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office continue to urge caution about false
information related to Antrim County,” notes the Detroit Free Press.
Dominion said in a statement released Monday that the error was caused when officials did not update the programming, emphasizing that the error was caught in the post-election canvass process.
“The post-election canvass process is designed to catch errors, which is exactly where these errors were discovered,” the company said.
“It is disappointing, though not surprising, that the primary goal of this group is to continue spreading false information designed to erode the public’s confidence in the election,” said Jake Rollow, spokesman for Benson.
Trump won Antrim County by about 4,000 votes but lost the state by approximately 154,000 votes but in any case this machine, which is notorious as it can easily be programmed to produce whatever outcome is desired and has been turned down by a significant number of our states for it to be outlawed nationally. And, especially since 60% of our citizens think this election was manipulated.

Why would these machines need to be updated during the election? It's not like an issue was found in Outlook or a spreadsheet pivot table didn't work correctly. These machines had one purpose, they should have been ready to go.
ReplyDeleteRight, and isn't interesting that the Democrats who claim Russian intrusion in the 2016 election would want to put voting machines on line? All they have to do is find the right space in the program to insert "IF V$ = "TRUMP" V$ = "BIDEN"" and Trump gets no votes! 23 characters in code and Trump loses! Give us a break!!!
