Unauthorized Remote Transmissions to External IP Addresses – Air-Gap Configuration Breached (PA)

Forensic imaging of the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 server utilized in Fulton County, Pennsylvania recovered definitive evidence of remote transmissions to external IP addresses during the election period. EAC certification of the Democracy Suite 5.5 series requires the system to operate in a strictly air-gapped configuration – meaning zero connectivity to any external network before, during, or after tabulation. This requirement is not aspirational; it is a hard certification condition because any external network connection creates a pathway through which ballots records, vote tallies, or configuration data can be exfiltrated, and through which unauthorized commands or database modifications can be introduced from outside the physical election environment. The documented existence of remote transmissions to external IPs is direct, forensic evidence that the Fulton County (PA) Dominion deployment was not operating in its certified air-gapped configuration. The identities of the external IP addresses – and their geographic or organizational attribution – have not been publicly disclosed.
