How Ohio elections can SELECT rather than ELECT and escape post-election audit detection.

Dominion Image Cast X (ICX) voting machines have been tested in a Georgia lawsuit by a computer science and engineering professor JR Halderman who has made a career studying electronic voting security. The Professor issued Security Analysis of Georgia's ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices, also known as The Halderman Report in July 2021 identifying nine critical national security vulnerabilities, including malware which can be installed by remote access while subverting all security procedures and Logic & Accuracy testing. These voting machines are utilized in 12 Ohio counties: Adams, Butler Fairfield, Greene, Hancock, Hardin, Perry, Richland, Scioto, Stark, Wayne, Wood.

The Dominion ICX voting machines print a cash register type receipt known as the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail. Votes cast are printed in English text on the receipt, along with a QR code. The problem lies wherein the voting machine reads the QR code to count the votes, not the English text on the receipt. The voter really has no idea if their vote is counted as desired, which is against federal law.

The following is a hypothetical example of an election in Ohio that changes a candidate from being ELECTED to a candidate being SELECTED all the while making it virtually impossible for a post-election audit to detect the cheat.

130,000 votes cast in an election in which candidate A is Elected

65,260 (50.2%) votes were cast for candidate A

64,480 (49.6%) votes were cast for candidate B

260 ( 0.2%) votes were cast for candidate C

In the example, malware is installed by remote access and changes 975 (0.75%) votes for candidate A to candidate B. Even though the elector sees candidate A printed on the text of the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail, the QR code that also prints on the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail is created to indicate a vote for candidate B.

Can you read QR code?

129,025 votes remain the same, but now candidate B is Selected, not Elected. Results after malware infiltration:

64,285 (49.45%) votes for candidate A

65,455 (50.35%) votes for candidate B

260 ( 0.2%) votes for candidate C

No worries, the post-election audit will catch this, right?

5% of the 130,000 total votes are audited, which is 6,500 votes. 123,500 votes are not audited. It only took 975 votes to flip the election.

The odds that 1 of the 975 votes changed are included in the 6,500 total votes audited across the county in which 130,000 total votes were cast is less than 1%.

What about a full hand recount of the votes?

An accurate full hand recount would catch the 975 votes for candidate A that the voting machine changed on the QR code as candidate B. At least 13 of the 975 votes changed must be audited to attain less than a 99.8% SOS defined post-election 'accuracy rate' to qualify for a full recount, which is virtually impossible. Therefore, a full hand recount likely will never happen, the 975 changed votes will never be detected, and candidate B will be SELECTED as the winner of the race.

How is an address verified when using a passport as identification when voting in person?

HB458 went into law in April 2023 which allows a passport to be used as a photo-id when voting in person at the polls. Since there is no address on a passport, how can poll workers verify the person's address is their current permanent residential address?

THEY CAN'T. This is one of the many flaws in the new law.

At least one county Board of Elections Director gave assurance that voters would still be asked to confirm their current address by saying it out loud. Does saying an address out loud verify the address is their current residential address? NO.

Can an individual who is registered at more than one address in Ohio use a passport to vote at both addresses? YES.

But wait, how can an individual be registered to vote at more than one address in Ohio? It happens. In fact, the current voter registration system is designed to have duplicate voter registrations for a period of time when moving from one Ohio precinct or county to another. A new voter record with the new address is created without the voter record at the old address being removed within a day, potentially allowing a person to vote at both addresses. The voter record for the old address is supposed to be flagged in order for the voter to provide identification to verify their current residential address before being allowed to vote; however, this process doesn't always happen.

SOLUTION:

Issue changes to Ohio law that requires ALL eligible voters to show a valid Ohio driver's license or state id when registering to vote and when voting.

Were Ohio's Voting Machines Legally 'Certified' for Use in 2020 Election?

"The Board of Advisors supposedly exists to assist the EAC in setting standards and guidelines to help states comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) through their certification program. Oddly enough, . . . the accreditations for the election equipment testing labs, Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, had lapsed. The lapse in accreditation effectively shut down the ability of all states to legally certify their election systems as required by HAVA. No vendors, anyone in the EAC, or anyone on their Board of Advisors appeared to have noticed this indefensible oversight. As a result, most of the country's election systems were not legally "certified" for the 2020 election."
