Dominion Voting Machines

According to Verified Voters, 25.1% of US voters were in a region containing Dominion voting equipment.

As a potential avenue for fraud in the US 2020 Presidential Election, researchers have raised the following concerns about Dominion:

• A 2019 report by Texas’s Attorney General recommended that Dominion machines were fragile, error-prone, extremely complex to install, and should not be used ¹

• Reports of Dominion’s VP and Director of Security and Strategy, Eric Coomer, telling Antifa activists “Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f**king sure of that!” Coomer showed a history of strong anti-Trump and anti-American sentiment. He also held the patents for “adjudication” used by Dominion Voting Systems, which defines the process for how an unclear ballot is judged. ²

• The way in which they permit tampering and overriding of results. ³ This was clearly demonstrated on video. ⁴

• A forensic audit of the Antrim County vote tabulation found that the Dominion system had an astonishing error rate of 68 percent. By way of comparison, the Federal Election Committee requires that election systems must have an error rate no larger than 0.0008 percent. ⁵

• A forensic report in Mesa County Colorado proved that a “system update” applied by Dominion after the election wiped dozens of log files, databases and other election data from their machines, in breach of state and federal laws

• Dominion’s Democracy Suite machines typically use “commercial off-the-shelf” (COTS) hardware which has no special security hardening ⁶

• Connection to the internet/wifi. ⁷ Patrick Colbeck’s affidavit cites evidence that internet connectivity was present during voting in Detroit, contradicting Dominion CEO testimony, given under oath, to Congress. ⁸ System manuals also explicitly refer to internet and ethernet connectivity. ⁸

• Ownership issues – potentially being owned by foreign entities, outside the US who may have motive to sway the results of an election

• Potential connections to Smartmatic (Sequoia) and ES&S, all of which may have been influenced or undermined by partisan bias. ⁹

• The contracts that Dominion makes with US counties have restrictive rules such that the county must: ¹⁰

  • Resist Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests wherever possible
  • Inform Dominion whenever these occur
  • Not reverse engineer or even analyze the software – something that would be necessary when tally errors occur

• According to Professor David K. Clements, Dominion’s legal contracts specify that counties must not cooperate with outside organizations, including auditors. They need to “Let them handle it”. Dominion, strangely, even offer to pay the legal fees in such scenarios. ¹¹

• Dominion repeatedly refuse in-depth audits based on the legal defense of “protecting their intellectual property” (IP). They’ve been accused of using this as a way of hiding their malfeasance. ¹¹

• Counties that started using Dominion machines, on average, saw a 2 to 3 percentage point vote migration toward the Democrat presidential candidate and away from the Republican opponent even when adjusted for demographic variances. ¹²

• Emerging reports that Dominion, through their lobbyist Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, have made over 30 donations to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold who has been implicated in election malpractice including deletion of data and log files from the 2020 election in violation of both state and federal laws for retention of election-related materials. ^{13 14} They also donated to Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s re-election campaign. ¹⁴

• Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klovich expressed concern about the machines: lack of transparency, security, and the ability to change votes. ¹⁵

• Dominion CEO John Poulos testified under oath that Ranked Choice Voting module which allows fractional voting was not enabled in Antrim County. This testimony conflicts with forensic analysis findings. Fractional votes were evident in a data stream from Dominion servers to Edison servers. ⁸

• Encryption keys stolen ⁸

• Dominion Systems passwords were seen to be available on the Dark Web. ⁸ But worse than that, the passwords between Antrim County, Michigan, and Maricopa County, Arizona were not only shared between multiple users, but followed the same basic structure, meaning that knowing the passwords in one state would allow you to reasonably guess the passwords for another state. ¹⁶

• Other audit logs deleted ⁸

• Original ballot images deleted ⁸

• Alleged reports of a large, coordinated hacking attempt in Italy with the aim of modifying election results (nicknamed “ItalyGate”) ¹⁷

I test [the security of] applications for a living — I’ve probably tested 3 or 4 thousand applications — and [the Dominion software I audited in Antrim County] was some of the worst software I’ve seen, in the way it was chosen to be designed. Just stupid, bad programming practices.”

— Doug Logan, Cyber Ninjas CEO, Maricopa County Forensic Audit Lead ^{18 19}

Dominion has released statements on their website that deny many of the above allegations, however most have not been presented to the courts, under oath, in order to determine the truth.

Video demonstration of vote switching

The following 7-minute video is one (of several) that demonstrates how the Dominion voting machines can be easily manipulated and corrupted, via direct SQL queries to the database.

A similar demonstration was also run live at Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium, showing how easy the system is to manipulate via SQL queries:

Matthew DePerno, an attorney involved with the Antrim County, Michigan, Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG) audit, has released a detailed report on how fraudulent actors can utilize this process, and how they likely did during the November 2020 election.

There is also a clear video demonstration of how an election worker, sitting solo in a secluded office can scan ballots multiple times, adjudicate and override votes, all without oversight, and without the actions being logged to them individually. ⁴

J. Alex Halderman’s Report on Dominion Vulnerabilities, July 2021

J. Alex Halderman produced a report on numerous vulnerabilities within Dominion ICX ballot-marking devices (BMDs) as used in Georgia, Nevada, Louisiana, Arizona, California, Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Washington State.

Unfortunately in Aug 2021, a Georgia District Court judge sealed the report and prevented it from being released to the public:

Then in Feb 2022, the report was suppressed further in a federal court:

Here is a short court excerpt that describes the report, and what we know about it so far:

Which states used Dominion voting systems during 2020 election?

The following states use Dominion systems (although not all counties within these states do):

Source: Politics Stack Exchange

In list form, these states are: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan (in 65 out of 83 counties), Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, & Wisconsin. ²⁰

A review of 10 key states (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) finds that Dominion systems were used in 351 of 731 counties.

MSN reports that Trump won 283 of those counties, 81 percent of the total, while he won 79 percent of the counties that didn’t use Dominion systems. However this statistic hides the fact that Democrats appear to have injected votes in far greater numbers in the most populated counties (they only need to do so in the largest 1 or 2 counties in each state in order to swing the results). Read The Battle for the Largest Counties for more on this phenomenon.

Further Background

The article Colorado: The Election Fraud Test Kitchen by Holly at Altitude (Jan 27, 2021) covers the history of how Dominion entered the US from Canada, became entrenched in the state of Colorado, and eventually spread to many other states that adopted Colorado’s broken-but-well-branded strategy.
