Judge Releases Dominion Audit Report: System ‘Designed’ to ‘Create Systemic Fraud’
Court unseals details of audit on machines in Michigan’s Antrim County
A Michigan judge has released the bombshell report on the audit of Dominion Voting Systems, revealing that the machines and their software were “designed” to “create systemic fraud.”
The report covers the forensic audit of Dominion’s machines in Michigan’s Antrim County — which received national attention after it was discovered that 6,000 votes for President Donald Trump were “flipped” to Democrat Joe Biden due to an “error.”
13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ordered the report’s protective order to be lifted on Monday night, allowing the details of the audit to be unsealed and released to the public. The data firm that conducted the forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems determined that the machines and software in Michigan showed that they were designed to create fraud and influence election results, the report reveals.
The ruling is a major blow for Dominion’s CEOs who hoped to keep the report sealed.
“The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication,” the report continues.” The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan,” he added. “We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.”
Ramsland, a former Reagan administration official who has worked for NASA, and the team of cybersecurity experts examined Dominion products in Antrim County earlier this month as part of an ongoing case.
The team inspected and performed forensic duplication on the county’s election management server, which was running Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5.3-002, compact flash cards used by local precincts in their Dominion ImageCast system, USB memory sticks used by Dominion Voter Assist Terminals, and USB memory sticks used for the poll book.
They used X-Ways Forensics and other tools including Blackbag-Blacklight Forensic Software, and Virtual Box.
Judge Elsenheimer approved the forensic examination in Bailey v. Antrim County, which alleges the infamous vote flip county officials reported last month may have not been the result of human error, as officials had alleged.
Antrim County resident William Bailey filed the lawsuit against the county that challenges the integrity of the election equipment.
On Monday, Elsenheimer ruled that the report on the examination must be published. Elsenheimer unsealed the report after state and county officials withdrew their objections.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, has attempted to dismiss the report as “inaccurate, incomplete, and misleading.”
Allied Security Operations Group concludes that the Dominion system “should not be used in Michigan” and the Antrim County results “should not have been certified.”
Last weekend, Judge Eisenheimer ordered Antrim County election officials to preserve all election materials and refrain from operating any of the county’s Dominion Voting Systems machines ahead of a forensic audit by the Trump campaign.
“Antrim County election officials discovered that ‘human error’ flipped 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden after Bailey alerted them to some inconsistencies in the county’s reporting of the vote,” The Daily Wire noted earlier this month. Michigan Secretary of State Benson’s office attempted to dismiss the inconsistencies as “human error.”
In a statement, Benson’s office said that “the clerk accidentally did not update the software used to collect voting machine data and report unofficial results.”
“The erroneous reporting of unofficial results from Antrim county was a result of accidental error on the part of the Antrim County Clerk,” the statement said.
“The equipment and software did not malfunction and all ballots were properly tabulated.”
“However, the clerk accidentally did not update the software used to collect voting machine data and report unofficial results.”
Assistant Attorney General Erik Grill claims the audit analysis is “inaccurate, incomplete and misleading,” The Detroit Free Press reported Monday. “There’s no reason to hide,” Grill said. “There is nothing to hide.”

The event is 14 months old and has so many times been debunked it's tiresome, eg
- At this point, I feel confident to assert the results of the Michigan election are accurately represented by the certified and audited results. While the Committee was unable to exhaust every possibility, we were able to delve thoroughly into enough to reasonably reach this conclusion. The strongest conclusion comes in regard to Antrim County. All compelling theories that sprang forth from the rumors surrounding Antrim County are diminished so significantly as for it to be a complete waste of time to consider them further.

So what your suggesting Redrob is that the item DB008 quoted was a deliberate misconstruction by whatever source was used to mount a spurious attack on the Washington Post.
And also that the story paraded about the Michigan election is essentially a total and proven lie.
Is there any post that DB has thrown up that has any resemblance to reality ?

It was written as an online "obituary" rather than a headline and was immediately corrected once brought to the editor's attention. The obituary made it clear he was an extremist, but began with his earlier life to give a fuller picture of the person.
@DB008 lives in an alternative reality when it comes to Trump.

Pence says Trump is 'wrong': 'I had no right to overturn the election'
by Daniel Chaitin, Deputy News Editor |
| February 04, 2022 04:07 PM
| Updated Feb 04, 2022, 06:03 PM
Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered a stern rebuke to former President Donald Trump, who decried him for not trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
"President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election," Pence said Friday at a Federalist Society event in Florida. "The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president."
- He was referencing a statement Trump made on Sunday that many observers took as an admission that Trump sought to overturn a legitimate loss to President Joe Biden rather than challenging the contest over concerns about widespread fraud and irregularities.
"If the Vice President [Mike Pence] had 'absolutely no right' to change the Presidential Election results in the Senate, despite fraud and many other irregularities, how come the Democrats and RINO Republicans, like Wacky Susan Collins, are desperately trying to pass legislation that will not allow the Vice President to change the results of the election? Actually, what they are saying, is that Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away," Trump argued in a statement released by his Save America PAC.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...wrong-i-had-no-right-to-overturn-the-election - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...wrong-i-had-no-right-to-overturn-the-election
Headline is true
The Washington Post faced criticism on Sunday for calling Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group who had died the day before, an "austere religious scholar".
The newspaper amended its headline to call him an "extremist leader".
Vice president of communications Kristine Coratti Kelly said the headline "should never have read that way and we changed it quickly".

Wisconsin: Dirty Voter Rolls, the ERIC Scam, and WEC the Fraud Enabler
? ? ?Wisconsin: Dirty Voter Rolls, the ERIC Scam, and WEC the Fraud Enabler
The Wisconsin Assembly on Campaigns and Elections held an informational hearing on Wednesday in which Peter Bernegger presented compelling red flag analysis of Wisconsin’s voter rolls and voter registration system.
Bernegger’s team, comprised of 1,500 (soon to be 5,500) volunteers across the state, purchased $60K worth of Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) statewide and county voter registration lists spanning 4 different dates and secured access to a “super computer” to help analyze the data. Here’s what they’ve found so far:
• The Wis Vote database has 7.1M registrants despite the fact that the state only has 4M adults (Jeff O’Donnell reported the same shocking finding in December).
• The Wis Vote statewide voter database has never been audited in its 16-year existence.
• There are “625K dead people on the voter rolls statewide and that number grows weekly.”
• There are 1M voters with a 1918 registration date (Jeff O’Donnell also noticed this “glitch”).
• The city of Milwaukee alone has 264K voters with a 1918 registration date, 66K deceased voters, and 20K voters at an undeliverable address.
• “You can switch an inactive person to active with 2 clicks. It opens the door to fraud. You can flip 100K people, vote them, and flip them back and no one would ever know. We’ve seen how easy it is to do.”
• There are tens of thousands of addresses with large excess registrations, including 45K single family homes (for example, 26 people registered to a 2 bedroom apartment).
• There are thousands of voters with missing or inaccurate key information. For example some have no last name, others are missing a first name or an address, or they have a fake voter ID (a symbol or a word), or an address that doesn’t exist (like 0 Airport Rd).
• The Department of Transportation (DOT aka DMV) could not verify 46K voters who voted in the 2020 election (this issue was also identified by the LAB audit, which released its findings in October).
• The team found 1.5M illegally registered voters in the the state, 155K suspected fake voters, and 50K illegally cast ballots “that can be proven.”
Bernegger then addressed the ERIC voter registration “scam.”
ERIC, the false flag “voter roll accuracy system” used by 30 states, was funded by a Soros Open Society grant and founded by David Becker, who also founded CEIR, which received $70M from Zuckerberg to help Democrats “fortify” the 2020 election.
ERIC’s bylaws effectively require the WEC and election clerks to function as ERIC voter registration drive volunteers. ERIC identifies “eligible residents who are not registered to vote,” and Wisconsin is required “at a minimum to initiate contact [with those] citizens and inform them how to register to vote.”
Who is ERIC registering?
He points out that ERIC recently lost a lawsuit in DC that ruled the conditions imposed by ERIC’s bylaws are illegal. Bernegger also noted that Louisiana has dropped ERIC, Arizona is expected to dump the ERIC system soon, and Florida is pushing to ditch ERIC.
Bernegger concluded by recommending that WEC be gutted and rebuilt. Their illegal “guidance” enabled fraud.
For example WEC:
• Told clerks to stop counting on election night
• Declared that drop boxes were legal
• Decided that clerks could cure ballots
• Encouraged machine vendors to wipe system logs clean
• Overruled the requirement for Special Voting Deputies at nursing homes, which protects against ballot harvesting
• And permitted 46K voters without DOT verification to vote.
Bernegger’s team is also investigating: “Human mules,” drop boxes, indefinitely confined voters, National Vote at Home, and Zuckerberg’s CTCL.

Who is Bernegger ?
How about a convicted fraudster just making up complete and utter rubbish with absolutely no proof in any form for his statements DB ?
How about people who then accept and pass on this rubbish without any effort at checking it becasue, after all it suits their God held belief that the the US elections were wildly corrupted?
This is who Berneggar is. And his story is just part of the outright lies that have been promulgated ever since Trump decreed before the elections that the only way he could lose would be through Fraud.

Alex Brandon/AP, FILE
Former President Donald Trump's accounting firm, Mazars USA, cut ties with Trump last week, saying his financial disclosures from 2011-2020 can no longer be relied upon, according to a letter the firm sent to the Trump Organization.
The letter was included in a court document filed Monday by the New York Attorney General's office, which is conducting a civil investigation into the way the Trump Organization valued its real estate portfolio.
"We write to advise that the Statements of Financial Condition for Donald J. Trump for the years ending June 30, 2011 - June 30, 2020, should no longer be relied upon and you should inform any recipients thereof who are currently relying upon one or more of those documents that those documents should not be relied upon," the letter to Trump's namesake company said.
"We have come to this conclusion based, in part, upon the filings made by the New York Attorney General on January 18, 2022, our own investigation, and information received from internal and external sources," said the letter. "While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances, we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate."

Clinton Campaign Lawyer Gave ‘Sensitive’ Trump Data to CIA, Special Counsel Claims
A lawyer for the Clinton campaign in early 2017 gave computer data to the CIA that was obtained from the Trump White House and Trump Tower’s computer servers through a "sensitive" government contract, according to Special Counsel John Durham.
Durham alleged in a court filing that Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for the Clinton campaign, met with the CIA in February 2017 to provide the agency with a dossier of purported computer links between Trump and Russia. Sussmann obtained the sensitive data from a tech executive whose firm monitored web traffic for the White House executive office. Rodney Joffe, the executive, "exploited" the White House data, as well as that of Trump Tower and Donald Trump’s apartment building in Manhattan, in order to find "derogatory" information about Trump’s ties to Russia, according to Durham. The prosecutor said his investigators have found no evidence to support the information Sussmann passed to the CIA.
Durham leveled the explosive allegation in a court filing Friday as part of the federal case against Sussmann. He is charged with lying to the FBI in September 2016 about the extent of his efforts to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. He is also accused of withholding information from the CIA during his February 2017 meeting that undercut the theory of nefarious web links between Trump and Russia. Durham refers to the CIA as "Agency-2" throughout court filings, but news outlets have confirmed the identity of the agency.
The court filing shows the extent to which Clinton operatives went to portray Trump as an agent of Russia. Sussmann’s fellow Clinton campaign lawyer, Marc Elias, commissioned the Steele dossier, which falsely accused Trump of colluding with Russia in order to win the 2016 election. Elias briefed Clinton campaign officials, including current national security adviser Jake Sullivan, about the investigation of Trump. Sussmann and Elias also provided their findings to media outlets in order to prompt investigations into Trump.
Sussmann’s meeting with the CIA has been previously reported, but it was not known that he provided the agency with information taken from White House web servers. According to Durham, Sussmann gave the CIA data purportedly showing a series of suspicious Internet lookups between Russian mobile phones and Trump associates at the White House. But according to Durham, the lookups were common and had also occurred during President Barack Obama’s tenure. Sussmann failed to provide the additional context about the Internet lookups to the CIA, Durham alleges.
It is unclear whether Sussmann knew that Joffe obtained the data from his company’s federal contract. Joffe served as chief technology officer at Neustar until he retired last year. He had long worked with the FBI and other federal agencies on cybersecurity issues. He received the prestigious FBI Director’s Award in 2013.
Sussmann began working with Joffe beginning in mid-2016 to investigate possible links between Donald Trump’s real estate company and Russia’s Alfa Bank. Joffe and a team of computer scientists, some working at Georgia Tech, claimed they found a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank. They gave the information to Sussmann who in turn provided it to the FBI and media outlets prior to the 2016 election. Several media outlets reported the Alfa Bank allegation, adding to the narrative that Trump had illicit contacts with Russia. It was not revealed until December 2019 that the FBI had debunked the Alfa Bank connection in early 2017.
Joffe has not been charged in the Durham probe, and his motives for accessing Trump’s data remain unclear. According to Durham, Joffe told associates that he was investigating Trump in order to please "VIPs" on the Clinton campaign. Joffe also allegedly told associates he hoped for a position in the Hillary Clinton administration.
Blows the whole Trump/Russia collusion out of the water.

Yep, be interesting to see where this leads.
