“This is BIG NEWS. Dominion Voting Machines are a disaster all over the Country. Changed the results of a landslide election. Can’t let this happen,” Trump wrote in a social media statement, sharing a post that included the report.
In another, he wrote that “many Trump votes were routed to” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, adding: “True all over the Country. This Fake Election can no longer stand. Get moving Republicans.”
In an initial post about the report on Monday, Trump said it “shows massive fraud.”
The report in question alleged that Dominion’s voting system “is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”
“The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified,” Russell Ramsland Jr., co-founder of Allied Security Operations Group, wrote in the document.
Ramsland and others inspected and performed forensic duplication on the county’s election management server, which was running Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5.3-002. They also obtained flash cards and USB sticks.
The examination was approved by 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer earlier this month. The judge on Monday agreed to remove a protective order that had been blocking the public release of the report, as long as code that it contained was redacted for the time being.
Trump praised the judge, calling him “highly respected.”
“Thank you for the genius, bravery, and patriotism of the Judge. Should get a medal!” he added.
State officials challenged the report. In a court filing, Michigan Elections Director Jonathan Brater said it “attributes changes in reported vote totals, all of which appear to be a result of human error and which appear to have been identified and corrected during the county canvass, to alleged ‘intentional’ design elements in Dominion Voting Systems, without explicating why this would be the explanation.”
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel alleged the report lacked “credible evidence in widespread fraud or wrongdoing.”
Dominion has not responded to requests for comment.
Trump’s lawyers had hyped the report before it was published, with one, Jenna Ellis, calling it “incredibly important to the election integrity effort as a whole.”
Biden has declared victory in the election. On Monday night, he alleged voter fraud did not occur in the Nov. 3 election and called on Trump to concede.
Trump and his campaign are contesting results in key battleground states and say the election is not over. The Epoch Times is not calling the race at this time.
Reactions from Dominion CEO
Dominion CEO: No 'Switched or Deleted Votes' Involving Company's Machines
Reporter : Zachary Stieber / Publisher : The Epoch Times
Dominion Voting Systems CEO said Tuesday (December 15) that the company’s machines were not involved in any “switched or deleted votes.”
John Poulos told legislators in Michigan via video link that any discrepancies with the counts from its machines can be investigated by referencing paper ballots. He said all audits and recounts of Dominion technology used in the 2020 election have “validated the accuracy and reliability” of the election results.
Poulos cited a statement released by the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency, which last month called the election the “most secure in American history.”
The statement was issued with the executive committee of the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council. The agency failed to note that Dominion is part of one of the council’s. President Donald Trump fired the agency’s director, alleging the statement was inaccurate.
Poulos told lawmakers in Michigan: “No one has produced credible evidence of vote fraud or vote switching on Dominion systems because these things have not occurred.”
He was testifying to the state Senate Oversight Committee just one day after a preliminary report of an audit of Dominion machines in Antrim County concluded the company’s system “is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”
Poulos called the report “severely flawed” and called the Allied Security Operations Group, which conducted the audit, “a biased, non-independent investigation.” He alleged that it is “impossible” to “vote switch” using Dominion’s machines.
But Poulos later admitted he’d only had a chance to do a “cursory review” of the report, and that the company had no access to the county’s systems and is not in possession of any logs, databases, or election material.
“I haven’t seen any of the files, so I can’t comment on what it is they’re looking for, other than some of the conclusions were wrong, and false,” he said.
Russell Ramsland Jr., co-founder of Allied, said in the report that Dominion’s system “intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors.”
“The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud,” he added.
Officials in Antrim County initially reported that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden earned more votes in the county than President Donald Trump. They later said Trump won by nearly 4,000 votes, a difference of some 7,000 votes from the original reported results.
Poulos echoed state and county officials in blaming what happened on “human errors.”
The errors came after an October change to election rules forced Dominion to create a new election project, he testified. Officials in Antrim County did not update all of the tabulator memory cards and forgot to conduct testing on the project, he said.
“If all tabulators would have been updated, there would have been no error,” he added.
The hearing was led by state Sen. Edward McBroom, a Republican who chairs the committee. Poulos was the only person slated to testify, a spokesman told The Epoch Times via text message.
McBroom said last month that he had heard “some very troubling reports and witness testimony.”
“I recommend believers pray for, and all people work for, seeing truth revealed and being patient in waiting for it. This is what I will continue to do as chair of the Senate Oversight Committee as we investigate alleged election improprieties,” he added.
