Michigan House Committee Threatens Dominion CEO with Subpoena
The Michigan House committee looking into alleged vote fraud in the 2020 election is threatening Dominion Voting Systems with a subpoena to appear and testify.
When your software has been proven to flip votes, it is not a great look to ignore requests to attend.
Neither is threatening “lawsuits against Antrim County and its 22 townships for violating … contracts with The State of Michigan.”
ReproBertie
“When your software has been proven to flip votes”
Which is has not.
SOQ
Yes it has- 6000 of them- no question about that.
Cian
Evidence please?
Cian
I read this from your search results page 1:
Benson explained that while Antrim County did experience a minor election tech issue this week, the GOP’s explanation is highly misleading. For one, local authorities caught and reported the problem early on in the vote tabulating process, so the error was never reflected in the state’s official results. It also wasn’t the result of a “glitch” in the software’s programming either, but rather an embarrassing human error that I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of before: putting off a software update for too long.
Apparently, an Antrim County clerk didn’t update the software used to aggregate voting machine data and generate unofficial results, an accidental oversight that caused a miscalculation in the county’s unofficial results, Benson said. However, she added that existing election safeguards worked as intended and ensured the issue was swiftly corrected before the county submitted its official tally.
6000 votes got flipped- changed- call it what you will.
Given the importance of this software, that it was left to county employees to ensure updates were loaded was at best, shoddy- they would have needed full admin to do so?
ReproBertie
The important point is that it was user error. Not the software. Not the machines. User error. User error that was spotted and corrected.
Everything else is water-muddying to try and bolster the illusion of election fraud when, in fact, Trump just lost.
Bodger
They have it all.
SOQ
No- the important point is that votes got changed- everything else is how and why.
Nigel
Uh, how and why are pretty important. It’s the difference between error and fraud. Unless you don’t care about the difference, I suppose. Oh! You don’t.
ReproBertie
Not when the process spotted the user error and corrected it.
Did the software flip votes? No. User error did.
Which means “your software has been proven to flip votes” is an untrue statement and when you base the case on something that is proven to be untrue then you have no case.
Nigel
‘They have it all.’
Just like Bogart and Bacall.
SOQ
Bretie,
Unless a DBA went in and wrote directly to the database tables- the software DID make the changes. Why it done it is another story but it was most definitely the software which amended those values.
The answer is probably in the schema but why 6000 and not 600 or 60 000?
ReproBertie
No it hasn’t. Repeatedly debunked. It was user error. Ignoring the basic facts does not make the claims true. The voting machines did not flip any votes. Nor did the software.
Well that’s convinced me….. yer off yer noggin Bodger. Nothing else to be said for it.

From an IT perspective I find it all really interesting. It is quite clear that Dominion were far from best practice when it came to security- which is quite shocking given the importance of the data.
They obviously did not have the boots on the ground supporting their product- especially as those machines were supposed to be completely offline.
Bodger
Trump’s team knew about Dominion and watched the fraud occur in real time. It was a sting.

From an IT perspective you don’t think there’s a difference between user error and software error, but sure, interesting.

No I don’t- good software design should prevent user errors like that. No matter what way you look at it, the software house is liable.

But it did prevent it. The error was corrected.

I’ve had users ring me to say the website wouldn’t remember their username for them after they cleared cookies but you think software design can prevent user error. I’ve had users complain that they couldn’t access the website when their internet was down but you think software design can prevent user error. I’ve had users complain that they couldn’t see their statements two weeks before they were produced but you think software design can prevent user error.
You either have zero experience of designing and developing software for mass use or you are choosing to ignore the realities of user stupidity to try and make a point.

Nope the error was caught by external checks- not the actual software.
Now you could say that is grand but lets face it- this software is a glorified calculator with a bit of OCR fed from scanners- it is not rocket science.

“If it is proved that these machines were feeding data out onto the internet”
Did your goalposts come with wheels or did you attach them yourself?

External checks seem like a good way to catch user errors but I’m not a fancy IT-talking guy.
If there’s a single credible source for the internet connection angle I’ve yet to see it.
SOQ
As above- there are reports of both tech support and state employees remoting in? If true then at least some of those machines were connected to the internet for sure.
Fraud or no fraud- I just think that system has security holes in it all over the place- desperate stuff.
ReproBertie
Based on “reports” you “think” the system has security holes in it all over the place.
You don’t know anything about what anyone remoting in was doing, how secure their connection was or what they were accessing but you’re happy to ignore all the things you don’t know just to muddy the waters some more.
Do you know who might know? Christopher Krebs, the director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. What was it he said again? Oh yeah, he said the “November 3rd election was the most secure in American history”.
Nigel
There were ‘reports’ of Dominion servers being siezed in Spain and Germany by US military forces. ‘Reports’ don’t mean a thing.
SOQ
Either the machines were connected to the internet or they were not- it really is that simple.
The gold standard of IT security is within the banking sector and they place a physical divide between their systems and the outside world- NOTHING beats that.
Don’t tell me that a situation where everyone and their dog has local admin and was loading updates was a secure system- it was not. The usb drives were not even locked down? That is basic Group Policy stuff for any office environment.
Transferring vote records by USB sticks- really? In this day and age?
Nigel
I’m not telling you it’s a secure system. I’m telling you there is no evidence that any breaches of security leading to electronic voter fraud occurred, and that Republicans ignored security issues until they lost and now want to overturn the result. Bodger claims that a Trump team watched electronic fraud occurring in real time. But there is no evidence. He also seems to think that mail-in ballots were faked. But there is no evdence. I think it’s safe to assume these claims are false. Because there is no evidence.

@SOQ
you can’t have it both ways.
You either have a air-gaped PC (i.e. no network connection) but then you need to use USB to get information in/out

@ Cian- all of those machines would have been connected to the local area network or Active Directory credentials could not have been presented- if there was no AD login then that is even worse.
There was absolutely no reason to be transferring data via USB sticks- they should been locked down for both read and write.
I’ll go further and say that each batch of votes should have been recorded as an official item of record on a register when they were moved from the local machine- this is bog basic record management for over twenty years now.
ReproBertie
“There was absolutely no reason to be transferring data via USB sticks”

I know enough to know that those machines were either Windows 7 or 10 and that when you open a USB port, you have no control what is downloaded from or up loaded to that machine.
It can be limited to a specific AD account but is usually not. That is why any half decent IT department will lock them down and you need special authorisation from management in order to be allowed to do so.
Cian
From an IT perspective there isn’t enough verifiable evidence of what Dominion were or weren’t doing.
There are a lot of baseless (and malicious) accusations against Dominion – which you seem to be totally happy to spread.
But, and I think this is the most important fact., when Georgia did a hand-recount they got the same result as the Dominion software had produced.
Bodger
‘when Georgia did a hand-recount they got the same result as the Dominion software had produced’.
Which is why they are seeking a signature audit. To be sure, to be sure.
Nigel
Are signature audits even a thing?
Cian
Stop trying to muddy the water.
We are talking about the accuracy of the Dominion system not signatures.
The Dominion is accurate. It didn’t flip votes.
SOQ
Are signature audits even a thing?
I don’t know how they could match the signatures to the votes as once separated that is it. But they can do a count- and if there more votes than signatures then the extra votes would be discarded- which is fair enough as they should be exactly the same.
If there is a big discrepancy however, that raises questions.
Nigel
Whose votes would you discard dear Liza dear Liza whose votes would you discard dear Liza whose votes?
SOQ
From an IT perspective it is not a question of fraud- it is a question of anomalies which should be investigated.
Council officials loading updates should ring alarm bells for a start- likewise people having remote access.
ReproBertie
“From an IT perspective I find it all really interesting.”
Yeah, sure. From an actual IT perspective we stop investigating when user error is determined. We may look at the processes and seek more user training but we stop worrying about our software at that point.
You, on the other hand, think that user error is enough to justify a subpoena against the makers of the voting machines.
SOQ
So far, it is only the word of the software house as to how that discrepancy occurred.
They are the only ones who legally could review what happened- until now.
Nigel
But you have no grounds for suspecting any kind of foul play other than known liars screaming fraud.
