In this VIDEO clip, DeKalb Board of Elections Attorney, Brent Herrin explains to the State Election Board that: “…TABULATING MACHINES WERE NOT ACCURATE. A decision by the board was made to do a HAND RECOUNT to ensure accurate results of the election,” Keisha Smith, DeKalb Elections Director, nods her head repeatedly in agreement. Duh! Isn’t that what we have been saying for 20+ years? Georgia’s Dominion voting system declared the wrong winners for the May 22, 2024 DeKalb Co. District 2 Commission primary. It only became known because a candidate received no votes in the precinct where she and her husband lived and voted. When she reported the problem to the DeKalb Election Board, they ordered a machine recount that produced the same results again. They then conducted a hand count of the race that proved the voting system shorted the candidate 3049 of her actual 4078 votes, over 74% of her total votes. The system gave 1456 of her votes to one of her opponents and failed to count another 1805 of her votes. The July 15, 2022 DeKalb Co. Election Board materials attributed the massive miscount to a complex ballot alignment error after one candidate withdrew from the race. However, no one has ever been willing to explain why the system failed to count 1805 votes.
So what really happened?
Logic and accuracy testing obviously did not catch the error (we told you it is unreliable);
There were a combination of problems due to candidate withdrawal, restricting changes, inadequate testing and unhelpful instructions from the SOS office;
We now know the SOS office told DeKalb to disable the counting of one candidates votes which did not resolve the issue and complicated the problem even further;
We also know that Georgia still suffers from the QR Code Signature Mismatch Error that caused entire ballots to be rejected in Tennessee;
The Tennessee SOS recommended discontinuing the use of the nearly identical Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 system we use in Georgia.
But what if the candidate received zero votes in her own precinct? How many times has this happened without detection? We will never know. This is a national security issue.
That is why we need to UNPLUG VOTING SYSTEMS throughout America and replace them with publicly recorded hand counts. No secret counts, no disputes, no machine errors. Just honest, accurate results.
Duh! Isn’t that what we have been saying for 20+ years?
