Unauthenticated RDP and VNC Remote Access Protocols Enabled on Certified EMS Workstations (PA)

Established Fact Forensic imaging of the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 server in Fulton County, PA discovered that VNC (Virtual Network Computing) and RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) protocols were actively enabled on secured election management workstations – creating open remote-access channels that permitted outward data routing to foreign IP addresses without authentication requirement. These misconfigurations nullified

Plaintext Master Cryptographic Key, 12-Year-Old Shared Password, and Two Anonymous Remote Logins with Escalated Privileges (MI)

Established Fact Forensic analysis of the Antrim County EMS revealed that the master cryptographic key used to encrypt all voting results transmitted from tabulators was stored in plaintext in a database table – identical to the vulnerability confirmed in Georgia. Additionally, all users relied on the generic, shared administrative account “EMSADMIN” with a 12-year-old password:

Dominion Stored Master Encryption Keys in Plaintext in Election Databases – Confirmed in 5+ Counties (GA)

Established Fact Independent forensic analysis confirmed that Dominion placed master cryptographic encryption keys unprotected and in plaintext within the same database used to store election data and produce contest results – in direct violation of FIPS 140-2, which requires cryptographic keys to be protected within a cryptographic module. This vulnerability was confirmed in election databases

Unhardened Election Servers – Unauthorized USB Use, Video Games Installed, No NIST Hardening (GA)

Established Fact Cybersecurity expert Harri Hursti, providing sworn testimony in Curling v. Raffensperger, documented severe operational security failures in Georgia county election offices. EMS and tabulation servers were not hardened according to NIST benchmark guidelines; servers exhibited frequent, untracked use of USB flash drives, and unauthorized software applications – including video games – were installed

EMS Security Event Log Configured to Auto-Overwrite – Election Day Logs Destroyed (AZ)

Established Fact The EMS server’s Windows Security Event Log was configured with a maximum retention size of 20 MB and set to automatically overwrite older entries when full. As a consequence, the earliest log entry preserved at the time of forensic audit was dated February 5, 2021 – not November 3, 2020. Every access event,

SQL Server Port 1433 Open to Any Global IP – Direct Database Modification Without Application Layer (CO)

Established Fact The Dominion EMS SQL Server was configured with firewall rules accepting inbound connections on port 1433 from any IP address worldwide, bypassing the certified application layer entirely. The Mesa County Forensic Team demonstrated this vulnerability empirically: a non-Dominion workstation – and even an iPhone SQL client – could directly query and modify election

Single Shared Password Across All EMS Components – Never Rotated Through 2020 Election (AZ)

Established Fact The credentials (usernames and passwords) for all EMS server components – EMS workstations, adjudication workstations, HiPro scanners, and ICC workstations – were created during the Dominion software installation on August 6, 2019, and were never changed from that date through the delivery of systems for forensic audit following the 2020 election: a period

Unpatched EMS Operating System and Plaintext FIPS Decryption Keys (AZ)

Established Fact The Dominion EMS server’s operating system and antivirus software were not patched or updated after August 6, 2019 – the date of initial installation – leaving the system exposed to all known exploits disclosed during the subsequent 14 months before the November 2020 election, including the entire pre-election deployment period. More critically, Dominion
