Established Fact
Independent forensic examination of Fulton County’s Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 server found:
- open external network interfaces;
- actively enabled remote-desktop protocols (VNC and RDP); and
- data routing to foreign networks including a Canadian IP address – nullifying the required air gap.
The Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth subsequently decertified Fulton County’s machines – not for the forensic violations found, but purportedly because Fulton County had permitted an independent audit. Fulton County sued, characterizing the decertification as unlawful retaliation.
