Dominion Voting Systems Personnel in Operational Control of Voting Systems During Election and Post-Election (GA)

[Established Fact – Dominion operational control confirmed; FIPS violation confirmed; EAC certification timing confirmed] The EOG Report concluded that Dominion Voting Systems personnel were in operational control of voting systems in nearly every Georgia county during the election period. This determination is critical to the record destruction findings: the personnel with the greatest access to the machines whose images were subsequently destroyed were not government officials subject to statutory duties of preservation, but private contractor employees whose records retention obligations were defined by contract rather than statute. The EOG Report characterizes the failure to preserve ballot images statewide as “almost certainly no accident” given the extent of Dominion’s operational presence. Additionally, the EOG Report and forensic analysis confirmed that Dominion stored encryption keys in plain text within election databases – a confirmed violation of FIPS 140-2 federal cryptographic standards – and that Dominion installed software on 30,000+ Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) before obtaining EAC certification, in violation of federal certification requirements.
