Introduction Points

I. SB202 made ballot images public record after our lobbying efforts in 2021
II. Our volunteer team performed a statewide analysis of Nov. 2020 ballot images
III. Our findings based on original ballot images obtained via ORR & legal discovery
IV. Fulton Co. is our example but other counties appear to have similar problems
V. Anyone can verify our findings based on ballot images available at GAballots.com,
other sites or through their own separate ORRs
VI. SOS Raffensperger could have done the same analysis and reached the same
conclusions we will reach today before he certified the 2020 election

How Ballot Image Creation Works

➢ Ballots are scanned to automatically


produce digital images and cast vote Mail-in

records that are tabulated


In Person

➢ Scans produce a .TIF image and a High Speed


.SHA signature file for the image

➢ In person images are stored on


redundant compact flash cards
Network Connect
➢ Mail-in ballot images are stored on
memory sticks and loaded to election
management server (EMS) or loaded
directly to the EMS Sealed EMS (.TIF, .SHA)

How Ballot is Processed

1. Scanning –
2020 Election Paper Ballots are scanned Auditmark
Ballot Image (.TIF) was created in two pages

2. Cast Vote Creation –


Ballot Image is analyzed using OCR
Cast vote record is created on Page 3 w/ Auditmark
signature file (.SHA) is created

3. Adjudication (Optional) –
If ballot has questionable marks it goes to adjudication
3-Member Review Panel should review & approve the
vote changes confirming the Voter’s intent
Adjudication section is created on Page# 3 Adjudication

Conclusion

➢Only one or two individuals with extensive voting system expertise needed to manipulate images

➢These manipulation activities were performed without ability for most officials to detect them

➢Fulton Co. allowed contractor and third party resources to run technical aspects or their election

➢Those resources were not sworn to uphold the GA Constitution and were not monitored properly

➢This evidence proves we must have an independent election audit. If not, why are we voting?

➢There is currently no mechanism for accountability and a bizarre double standard of justice
