One IT expert reached out to us a few days after the election and shared some information on the voting systems used in US elections. This IT expert located a previous audit report from an audit of the Dominion voting system in California. In the audit report the state of California showed a high-level diagram of the Dominion system which is likely similar to the set up in Pennsylvania and other locations:
This diagram showed that there are laptops or workstations onsite that some of the workers can access after the ballot images are scanned in.
Our expert stated that he kept thinking about the USB drives and immediately noticed this is where election data (i.e. forged/faked images) could be inserted or changed.
When a number of USBs in a location go missing or are lost, the proper response would be for the location or district where the USBs went missing to replace all USBs in the locations or districts with similar credentials as the missing USBs. There is no indication that this happened in the 2020 Election.
In addition, per a discussion with one top security expert, the protocol related to the transfer of USBs in Arizona and other states appears to have changed for this election. Rather than individuals from each location transporting the USB to the tabulation centers and signing off on their activities which provides the proper chain of control, this year something different took place. Individuals from the state or from some election-related entity picked up the USBs at all locations and transported them to the location where the results were tabulated. The reason for this change was blamed on COVID or rather, COVID was used to make this change.
This whole scenario opened the door to manipulation of votes through the USBs before they were delivered to the location where they were to be counted.
The safekeeping and security of USBs used in the 2020 Election were very weak or even absent. There is evidence showing a pattern of USB abuse in swing states where Biden was eventually awarded the win.
