@ClintLHickman, you may not be aware of imp key facts

My observations & research pt by pt in your letter:

1. We have no evidence of an accurate or reliable election since @maricopacounty has yet to publish any formal technical or security analysis docs re Dominion
1/

https://twitter.com/maricopacounty/status/1328852710318239744

2. Equipment Certification Advisory Committee allowed for a DOMINION-DRIVEN sales demo as their functionality test

1st demo included an unknown small number of ballots; 2nd test was only with 16 ballots

There's no tech reports published

Minutes: azsos.gov/elections/voti…
2/

3. Mandatory requirements do not include a security test
➡️Top voter concern

Tech code can change & there's no analysis or reporting published by Maricopa County on this

AZ vote count requirements are not statistically significant and purely a ceremonial statute requirement
3/

4. This is wildly inaccurate
➡️Only 2,917 election day ballots were counted. That's less than 2% req
🚫2% of 167,878 election day ballots = 3,358 ballots

➡️Only 5,165 early ballots were counted
🚫1% of 1,915,487 early ballots = 19,155 ballots

Report: documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri…

4. (cont'd)
A statistically significant hand count with 99% confidence and 1% margin of error ⤵️

✅Early Ballots = 16,498
✅Election Day Ballots = 15,141

The current hand count conducted by @MaricopaVote is ceremonial at best

5/

5. The concerns highlighted by the FEDERAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION CHAIR have alerted voters all across this nation regarding the security of our election

@maricopacounty BOS did not present a technical or security analysis when you conducted the $6.1M allocation vote for DOMINION

5. (cont'd) There was no discussion by the Board of Supervisors re other software providers you considered, no reports why Dominion was superior from a technical or security standpoint, no reports considering TX security concerns

BOS did a motion, 2nd, and a unanimous vote

7/

From May 20 '19 request for RFP, it took only 26 days to conduct RFP, conduct technical analysis, negotiate contract, and make a vendor selection

Incredible speed with most details not shared with the public

No docs of analysis were published after the pilot

8/

5. (cont'd) In comparison, the City of Phoenix is currently conducting an RFP for a new election tabulation system

Notice, PHX public record includes 3 vendors and a scoring system with a presentation of analysis for the City Council and public with transparency

9/

The top security concern by Texas was DOMINION'S open USB ports

5.5A TX DOMINION is virtually the same software package as AZ 5.5B

Main difference is hardware configuration

MC kept USB ports available, unsealed during election

@MaricopaVote published videos showing ports open

Indeed, there is evidence of fraud!

TN voter that left Maricopa County over a year ago to train in the Olympics somehow had a ballot released and someone harvested it, voted, the fraudulent signature approved, and ballot counted by your Election Dept

.@ClintLHickman, I hope these additional facts enlighten you on the current situation in Maricopa County and the lack of transparency to the public with the selection, review, and process with DOMINION

The trust with MC elections for many constituents is legitimately broken

When BOS approved $6.1m, @ClintLHickman, you said you didn't take the job to take the easy way out & you committed to an election based on INTEGRITY

@Steve_Chucri, you said voting is sacrosanct and it's your job to protect that freedom to ensure it's being done justly
13/

Voter confidence has collapsed with the 3rd election cycle being called into serious question

Statute for hand count requirement by precinct is not fulfilled

Plz reconsider a pause for a statistically significant hand count, instead of optics taking easy way out

Thank you for your time and consideration

Maricopa County voters deserve transparency, accountability, and integrity

We must protect against future voter suppression due to a lack of trust with the Elections process
