Required L&A Testing Not Conducted – Forensic Exam Found Pre-Election EMS Changes Three Weeks Before Election (PA)

Established Fact The Speckin Forensics examination of Fulton County’s Dominion voting machines – conducted in 2022 as part of Fulton County v. Dominion Voting Systems – documented that required Logic and Accuracy inspections had not been conducted and that changes were made to the EMS three weeks before the 2020 election. A system that has

Standard L&A Testing Structurally Unable to Detect Test-Aware Malware (PA)

Reasonable Inference Technical cybersecurity evaluations of Pennsylvania voting system deployments – most concretely illustrated by the Northampton County ESS ExpressPoll failure in 2019, which produced zero votes for one candidate in a contested race despite those votes having been cast – demonstrated a documented pattern: systems passing L&A testing subsequently suffered massive tabulation failures in

110% Ballot Reversal Rate Observed During L&A Testing – Anomaly Not Investigated (MI)

Established Fact ASOG’s forensic examination of Antrim County L&A records revealed a 110% ballot reversal rate in adjudication log records during the L&A testing phase for Warner Township. A reversal rate exceeding 100% is mathematically indicative of systematic error, configuration failure, or software anomaly – it means more ballots were reversed in adjudication than were

Mandatory L&A Test Skipped After October 23, 2020 Database Modification – 7,060-Vote Discrepancy Resulted (MI)

Established Fact Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy uploaded a modified election project file to the Dominion ImageCast Precinct tabulators on October 23, 2020 – replacing the original project built on September 25, 2020 – without conducting the required public accuracy test on the newly programmed system as required by MCL § 168.798. This statutory violation

EMS, Adjudication Workstations, and RTM Laptops Excluded from L&A Testing – 172,000+ Absentee Votes Affected (MI)

Established Fact The City of Detroit deployed central Election Management System (EMS) workstations, Remote Tally Management (RTM) laptops, and adjudication workstations at the TCF Center to process over 172,000 absentee ballots. None of these centralized, high-risk systems were subjected to public accuracy testing before the election. MCL § 168.798 requires public testing of voting equipment;

Fulton County L&A Testing for Advance Voting Tabulators Not Independently Verified – Dominion Personnel Conducted Testing (GA)

Reasonable Inference Dominion Voting Systems personnel, operating under a nearly $2 million on-site staffing contract with Fulton County, were directly involved in programming, testing, and post-election support for the county’s voting equipment, including participation in L&A testing procedures. Official L&A testing conducted by a vendor with a financial interest in the system’s continued deployment cannot

Late-Stage BMD Software Update Nullified Prior L&A Testing on All 30,000 Devices (GA)

Established Fact Shortly after L&A testing began across Georgia’s counties in advance of the November 2020 general election, a display bug was discovered in the Dominion ICX BMD software. The Secretary of State’s office coordinated a software patch – described as correcting the visual display of ballots – that was distributed and installed on all

Truncated L&A Test Decks – Only One Race Per BMD Tested Statewide (GA)

Established Fact The Georgia Secretary of State’s L&A procedures manual, issued in January 2020, directed counties to test only one candidate race per Ballot Marking Device (BMD) for each ballot style, rather than all contests on the ballot. This truncated testing protocol directly contradicts O.C.G.A. § 21-2-379.25(c), which requires L&A testing to verify accurate recording

COVID-19 Restrictions Invoked to Limit Observation of L&A Testing (AZ)

Reasonable Inference Maricopa County leveraged COVID-19 social-distancing protocols to restrict the number and proximity of public observers permitted to witness L&A testing sessions. The practical effect was that observers were unable to verify machine serial numbers against test tapes, confirm that the same machines tested were the same machines deployed, or meaningfully observe the testing

Failure to Test Production Tabulators – Only Five Spare Units Tested (AZ)

Established Fact Contrary to representations made to the district court and the public, Maricopa County did not conduct statutorily mandated pre-election L&A testing on all its active vote-center tabulators prior to the November 2020 election. Instead, county officials tested only five spare tabulators – units not deployed to vote centers – leaving the actual production
