My review of DOMINION Maricopa County AZ RFP is complete

HIGHLIGHTS⤵
✅System does not need to be connected to internet
✅Interface designed for simplified hand counts, recounts, & audits
✅Features accommodate full transparency
⚠Security concerns exist

Details⤵

PLZ NOTE

My review at this point consists of publicly published information, which only includes:
1️⃣ Maricopa County AZ Solicitation
maricopa.gov/DocumentCenter…

2️⃣County contract RFP
countycontracts.maricopa.gov/?QueryID=&OBKe…

I will begin with the Solicitation document...

2/

At May 20 '19 Election Committee meeting w/MC Board of Supervisors, all RFP proposals had been recv'd, rev'd, & a short list decision completed

▪RFP began March 28 '19

▪Proposals due April 30 '19

⚠Why was there no mention of DOMINION or other vendors in May 20 BOS meeting?

TRANSPARENCY

Pg 18 describes pass/fail requirement w/screening process by procurement

⚠Why were these details not included in the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors May 20 '19 presentation or the June 26 '19 vote for $6.1M allocation by BOS

⚠Why only Dominion in RFP

4/

SECURITY

Pg 7 is the ONLY mention of SECURITY in entire RFP Solicitation

⚠Why do we not ask any questions re
➡Ownership of election of company
➡Where software is coded
➡Where servers exist
➡Redundancy
➡Foreign interference
➡Subsidiaries
➡Donations
➡Affiliations, etc.

Now we move on to the RFP Contract Document

SECURITY

@katiehobbs' committee 10/29/19 minutes PG 4 says that the login is by team

▪DOMINION RFP PG 24 says login can be at the tabulator's user level

⚠Why wouldn't Maricopa BOS have login at tabulator level so we can identify and track bad actors during adjudication?

SECURITY

Pg24,35✅Maricopa County election systems not connected to Internet

▪Likely alleviates concerns data is sent out of the country to be manipulated
⚠MC DOMINION system USB-driven
➡For theory to be true, many bad actors needed at each center (possible but unlikely)

SECURITY

Pg 31⚠Why MUST Dominion "FULLY PARTICIPATE" in security review

➡In my ~2 decades of tech vendor/customer experience, I never made this request of my tech vendors & my customers' never made this request from me

▪Always an arms-length distance for security purposes

HAND COUNT FEATURES

Pg 35⚠Since Dominion simplifies a hand count and recount process by precinct, why won't @maricopacounty Board of Supervisors, @GeneralBrnovich, @katiehobbs accommodate Statute calling for a precinct hand count

#SecureTheVote

10/

TRANSPARENCY

PG 37✅DOMINION can accommodate Maricopa County posting ALL BALLOTS on public website

⚠Why won't @MaricopaVote ease voter concerns by posting ballots publicly so the public can do their own hand count audit and confirm election is secure?

#SecureTheVote

11/

CONCLUSION

⚠️W/DOMINION'S advertised capabilities for TRANSPARENCY, very concerning @MaricopaVote won't be forthright with voters

⚠️RFP not robust on security

⚠️Potential for fraud still exists but diminished by lack of access to internet

⚠️USB security concerns exist
