Valfusk under USA-valet 2020? Rapporterade incidenter.

While Arizona law requires that voting systems, including components that capture ballot images, must be tested by a federal Voting System Testing Laboratory (VSTL), including for accuracy, reliability, and security, and certified by the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and my Office, the hardware and software supplied by Cyber Ninjas to capture and display the ballot images in this counting process are untested and uncertified. This fact raises serious concerns because it means the systems used have not been tested or certified to ensure, for example, that the system is not preloaded with inaccurate ballot images or that the system’s software is not written to manipulate specific images of scanned ballots. Testing and certification by federal and state authorities is designed specifically to protect against such risks, including through a thorough source code review to ensure these risks cannot occur.

Though the “Modifications to Standard CyFIR Evidence Handling Procedures for AZ Audit” document, which was among the policies and procedures the court ordered Cyber Ninjas to make public, indicated that there would be “24/7 live video monitoring...on both the evidence storage area and the forensic imaging area,” which will be “live streamed to the internet for transparency,” there has been no live streaming of, and the observers were not permitted to observe in, any forensic imaging area or where the Maricopa County election equipment was otherwise handled. This is a violation of your own requirements and means that neither election officials, experts, nor the public had any transparency into how the election equipment was handled.

The audit procedures describe a counting process whereby each ballot is scanned and an image of the ballot is displayed on a monitor above each counter’s seat. During the days in which this method was used, prior to the screens being removed for uncertain reasons (and prior to my Office gaining access to the Coliseum), it appeared in the livestream that counters were conducting their count based the displayed images, as the carousel holding the paper ballots were being spun too fast to allow counters to confirm that the projected image matched the paper ballot.

Fann has said the audit is not meant to attempt to overturn the general election results, but to find areas where the state can improve its voting process.

1 — Arizona GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward tweeted out on Wednesday that devices that held data during the election in Maricopa County were sneaked offsite nightly. And it’s not clear who took them at this point!
2 — The Maricopa County Election team admitted this week that they do not have ‘Admin’ access to their county’s voting machines.
3 — And Maricopa County officials are refusing to turn over routers or router images to the election auditors. They are defying a judge’s orders.
