1) Georgia Years-long Court Battle Reveals Dominion’s Security and Audit Flaws, Weak Testing

Rushed implementation of voting system questioned as experts raised fundamental concerns
theepochtimes.com/georgia-years-…
2) A review of court documents and sworn expert testimonies raise troubling questions regarding the Dominion voting system and its rushed implementation by the State of Georgia.
3) Among the many issues raised was the inability to accurately audit Dominion’s systems in order to verify that the intended votes were cast as intended.
4) Experts also demonstrated to the court how the Dominion system inherently prevented the successful use of Risk-Limiting Audits (RLAs) - the method employed by Georgia & VotingWorks during the recount.
5) Judge Totenberg agreed with the inability to successfully perform a RLA, noting in her ruling that “there is no audit remedy that can confirm the reliability and accuracy of the BMD system, as Dr. Stark has stressed.”
6) Cybersecurity experts provided evidence to the court that Dominion’s QR system wasn’t secure, was subject to duplication, and that the ability to generate fake QR codes existed.
7) A cybersecurity expert also found that during Georgia’s August 2020 elections, servers at two county election offices he visited “enabled unsafe remote access to the system through a variety of means,” including the use of flash drives.
8) This same expert found that in one of these counties, “server logs were not regularly recording or updated in full and that Dominion’s technical staff maintained control over the logs and made deletions in portions of the logs.”
9) Experts also found significant problems with the testing processes used by Pro V&V.

In a case that involved last-minute updates to Dominion software, the court was told that the testing lab “performed only cursory testing of this new software.”
10) A Dominion system experienced a “memory lockup” after scanning only 4,500 ballots during testing in 2019.

Dominion determined that a “power cycle” is required after scanning more than 4,000 ballots.

It isn’t known if this issue was fixed prior to the 2020 elections.
11) The court also found that the manner in which the Dominion system functions failed to meet the requirements of Georgia election law.

As U.S. District Judge Amy Judge Totenberg noted, Dominion’s system “does not produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot."

"Justices concluded that it’s up to each voter - not the county clerks or anyone else - to decide if and when they qualify as indefinitely confined."

"After a string of defeats in court, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling comes as much needed victory for President Trump."
"Under Wisconsin law, a voter may receive a ballot by mail and bypass Wisconsin’s voter ID law"

IF

"the voter, by his own determination, concludes he is “confined” based on age, physical illness, or infirmity."
"This fall, roughly 215,000 voters in Wisconsin said they were indefinitely confined, nearly a four-fold increase from the 2016 election."

GA Court has discussed inherent flaws:

"Georgia’s use of the new Dominion machines created a particular problem regarding the performance of a successful RLA, precisely because the system “by its nature, erases all direct evidence of voter intent.”"
theepochtimes.com/georgia-years-…
Judge Totenberg: “There is no way to tell from a BMD printout what the voter actually saw on the screen, what the voter did with the device, or what the voter heard through the audio interface.”
Totenberg stated in her ruling that a BMD printout “is not trustworthy” and the application of an RLA to an election that used BMD printouts “does not yield a true risk-limiting audit.”

"The only date in the Constitution is January 20th, so we have more than enough time."

"As we speak today an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote, and we're going to send those results up to Congress."
"...This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means that if we mean these cases in the courts that we can direct that the ultimate slate of electors be certified."

"The State legislatures in Georgia, Wisconsin & Pennsylvania can do the same."
"If you just cured 3 simple Constitutional defects, Donald Trump's the winner of this election. Whether it's the signature matching in Georgia, that was illegally changed as a result of the consent decree w/out the legislature's approval..."

2) IG Horowitz: “Although we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence of intentional misconduct, we also did not receive satisfactory explanations for any of the errors or omissions we identified."
3) Horowitz: “There is such a range of conduct here that is inexplicable and the answers we got were not satisfactory, that we’re left trying to understand how could all these errors have occurred over a nine-month period or so."

1) There's an ongoing selective addressing of facts from GA Secretary of State's office.

And it appears to continue in the declaration from the Chief Investigator for GA Sec of State.

2) As Hans rightly notes, why would there even be a select group to only open envelopes?

But even if that's correct, it does not seem to gel with the investigator's own words.
3) Note the intentional conflation of dates in Item #6:

"...between November 3 and 4, 2020. Our investigation discovered that observers and media were not asked to leave..."
