U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
2 of 44

1 THE COURT: Good morning. I would like to point out

2 that this hearing is being audio streamed nationally, so

3 whatever you say near your microphones will be picked up for

4 the world to hear, so you might want to be discreet in what

5 you have to say this morning with the microphones. Also, I

6 would ask that -- each of y'all should have some plastic bags.

7 As you leave the lectern, take the bag with you, and the next

8 person who comes up should put a new bag. You all have bags,

9 right? Okay. So that is what we are going to do. All right.

10 In this case, the Plaintiffs are a group of

11 disappointed Republican presidential electors. They assert

12 that the 2020 presidential election in Georgia was stolen, and

13 that the results, Joe Biden winning, occurred only because of

14 massive fraud. Plaintiffs contend that this massive fraud was

15 manifest primarily, but not exclusively, through the use of

16 ballot stuffing. And they allege that this ballot stuffing

17 has been rendered virtually invisible by computer software

18 created and run by foreign oligarchs and dictators from

19 Venezuela to China to Iran.

20 The defendants deny all of Plaintiffs' accusations.

21 They begin in their motions to dismiss by rhetorically asking

22 what a lot of people are thinking, why would Georgia's

23 Republican Governor and Republican Secretary of State, who

24 were avowed supporters of President Trump, conspire to throw

25 the election in favor of the Democratic candidate for

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 President.

2 We are going to turn now to the legal arguments. We

3 have several motions today, but primarily they are grouped

4 into two. First we have a motion to dismiss that has been

5 filed by the State Defendants, the original defendants in the

6 case, and then we have another motion to dismiss filed by the

7 Intervening Defendants in the case. The Plaintiffs of course

8 oppose both of these motions. They've been fully briefed, and

9 I have read everything that has been filed in this case by the

10 Plaintiffs and everything pertaining to these motions. If the

11 Defendants are not successful on those motions to dismiss, we

12 will proceed to hear argument on the substantive merits of the

13 complaint and the claims in the complaint. The way that time

14 is going to be -- well let me begin it this way. In their

15 legal arguments the Defendants contend that Plaintiffs lack

16 standing to bring this suit, which is pretty much what the

17 11th Circuit just held in Mr. Woods's own separate suit

18 against the State on Saturday. The Defendants further argue

19 that under Georgia law this kind of suit, one for election

20 fraud, should be filed in State Court, not Federal Court.

21 This too is what the 11th Circuit held in a separate but

22 similar case recently. And next, Defendants assert that

23 Plaintiffs waited too long to file this suit which seeks an

24 order decertifying the election results. The Secretary of

25 State has already certified the election result, and there is

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
4 of 44

1 no mechanism that the Court is aware of of decertifying it,

2 but that is that the Plaintiffs seek.

3 And finally, the law is pretty clear that a party

4 cannot obtain the extraordinary remedy of injunctive relief

5 unless he acts quickly. And Defendants contend that the

6 Plaintiffs have failed to do that, pointing out that all of

7 Plaintiffs' claims about the Dominion voting machines, the

8 ballot marking devices, could have been raised months ago, and

9 certainly prior to the November 3 election, and certainly

10 before Plaintiffs filed this suit over three weeks after the

11 election took place.

12 So these are the procedural arguments that the

13 Defendants are making today, or at least the main ones, I

14 believe. And then the question is, assuming the Plaintiffs

15 can survive these procedural hurdles, what is the relief that

16 they want? They want me to agree with their allegations of

17 massive fraud. And what do they want me to do about it? They

18 want me to enter injunctive relief, specifically the

19 extraordinary remedy of declaring that the winner of the

20 election in Georgia was Donald Trump and not Joe Biden. They

21 ask me to order the Governor and the Secretary of State to

22 undo what they have done, which is certify Joe Biden as the

23 election winner. We will get to those merits if the

24 Plaintiffs survive the motion to dismiss.

25 At this time we're going to begin with the motion to

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 dismiss, and the time allotment will be as follows: The State

2 Defendants have 20 minutes -- let me back up. Each side gets

3 30 minutes. The Plaintiffs get all 30 of their minutes, and

4 the Defendants' 30 minutes are divided among the two sets of

5 Defendants. The State Defendants -- the State Defendants get

6 20 minutes, and then the Intervening Defendants get 10

7 minutes, following which we will hear the Plaintiffs'

8 response. They have up to 30 minutes. And then whatever time

9 was saved in -- reserved for rebuttal, the State Defendants

10 and Intervening Defendants will then have.

11 But before we go forward, is there any way we can

12 stop this fuzzy sound that is coming through up here? I don't

13 know if it is coming through in the whole courtroom. I don't

14 think has anything to do with my microphone. (pause). All

15 right, is that better? I think it was the speaker, one of the

16 two speakers up here on the bench. I talk loud enough and I

17 think the lawyers talk loud enough that I can hear what they

18 are going to say. I don't need a microphone. So at this time

19 I will turn the matter over to the State Defendants.

20 MR. MILLER: Good morning, Your Honor. Carey Miller

21 on behalf of the State Defendants. I am joined today by Josh

22 Belinfante, Charlene McGowan, and Melanie Johnson. Mr.

23 Belinfante will be handling the motion to dismiss. I do want

24 to raise with the Court, to the extent that we get there,

25 State Defendants would like to renew their motion to alter the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 TRO that is in place at this point. I understand that we can

2 address that in that section.

3 THE COURT: All right. Thank you, sir.

4 MR. BELINFANTE: I am not checking email, I am

5 trying to keep my time.

6 THE COURT: Okay.

7 MR. BELINFANTE: I would ask this. Would the Court

8 allow me to speak without the mask? Or do you prefer I keep

9 the mask on to speak?

10 THE COURT: I think I need to have everybody keep

11 the mask on.

12 MR. BELINFANTE: I'll be happy to do it. Good

13 morning, Your Honor. I think you have hit the nail on the

14 head in terms of what the issues are. This case simply does

15 not belong in this Court. The relief that Plaintiffs seek is,

16 as the Court described, extraordinary. It is to substitute by

17 judicial fiat the wishes of the Plaintiffs over presidential

18 election results that have been certified, that have been

19 audited, that have been looked over with a hand-marked count.

20 There is zero authority under the Federal law, under the

21 Constitution of the United States, or even under Georgia law

22 for such a remedy.

23 If the Plaintiffs wanted the relief they seek, they

24 are not without remedies. They could do what the campaign of

25 the President has done, which is file a challenge in Georgia

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
7 of 44

1 court under Georgia law challenging election irregularities.

2 There are three currently pending. I have with me two Rule

3 Nisi orders. One will proceed today at 3:30 in the Cobb

4 Superior Court sitting by designation. Another I believe is

5 Wednesday. And the President's, as I understand it, is to

6 proceed on Friday. That is where these claims should be

7 brought.

8 To the extent that the claims are about something

9 else, the Court need only look at what has happened in Georgia

10 since roughly 2019 and the passage of House Bill 316. It was

11 at that time that the Georgia legislature completely redid

12 Georgia election law. And there had been suit after suit

13 after suit, many of which brought by the Defendant

14 interveners, their allies, and others who question election

15 outcomes. And in every suit no relief has been ordered that

16 has been upheld by the 11th Circuit. In fact, no court has

17 ordered relief. And to the extent that two have, the Curling

18 case and the New Georgia Project case on discrete issues, the

19 11th Circuit stayed those because it concluded that there was

20 a strong likelihood of reversible error.

21 So what does this tell you? It tells you that

22 Georgia laws are constitutional, Georgia elections are

23 constitutional, and Georgia machines are constitutional. The

24 constitutional that the legislature has set forward is

25 constitutional. Now, that's where the Plaintiffs have backed

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
8 of 44

1 themselves into a corner from which they cannot escape. In

2 their reply brief, the claims, from the State's perspective,

3 got significantly crystallized. It became much clearer. And

4 they're relying heavily on Bush v. Gore. The problem is that

5 they are turning Bush v. Gore on its head.

6 In Bush v. Gore the challenge was that a Florida

7 Supreme Court decision was going to, as the Plaintiffs repeat

8 often, substitute its will for the legislative scheme for

9 appointing presidential elections. That is exactly what they

10 are asking this Court to do, substitute this Court for the

11 Florida Supreme Court, and you have Bush v. Gore all over

12 again. And that manifests itself in various different forms

13 that the Court has seen in our brief and the Court has already

14 identified. I will not go through all of them. I will try to

15 hit the high notes on some, but we will rely on our briefs.

16 We're not dropping or conceding arguments, but we will rely on

17 our briefs for those that I don't address expressly.

18 Let's talk briefly about what the complaint is,

19 because that has been I think significantly clarified with the

20 reply brief. One, the parties are presidential electors. And

21 they argue that that makes a significant difference. But what

22 are the acts of the State? Not Fulton County, not mullahs in

23 Iran, not dictators in Venezuela. What are the acts of the

24 State that are at issue? And it's in the discussion about

25 traceability and the Jacobson decision in the 11th Circuit

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 where that gets fleshed out really for the first time in the

2 reply brief, and there are three. And they tell you, and I

3 will keep coming back to it, on Page 20 of their reply brief.

4 The Plaintiffs, describing the State, say they

5 picked the Dominion system. Their policies led to de facto

6 abolition of the signature match requirement, their

7 regulations to permit early processing of absentee ballots is

8 unlawful and unconstitutional. Those are the three acts of

9 the State. Everything else is happening at a county level,

10 period. And from that they raise what appears to now be four

11 claims. One is the Elections and Electors Clause citing the

12 absentee ballot opening rule, I will refer to it as, the

13 settlement agreement. They raise equal protection claims

14 saying that the violation of the Election Clause has led to a

15 vote dilution and discrimination against Republican voters.

16 They argue that due process is violated because they have a

17 property interest in lawful elections, again, under the

18 Elections and Electors Clause. And finally, they raise a pure

19 State claim in Federal Court under a voter election challenge.

20 What is the relief they seek? The Court has

21 identified it. Why do they seek it? The Court is informed of

22 this on Page 25 of the reply brief. And it is -- if the Court

23 will not order a different result than what a certified

24 election has, they seek it through another means. They say on

25 Page 25 that allowing the electors to be chosen by the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
10 of 44

1 legislature under the plenary power granted to them for this

2 purpose by the elections and election laws. One way or the

3 another, the relief they seek is judicial fiat, changing

4 certified election results. And to evaluate these claims the

5 Court does need to consider aspects of State law. And this is

6 where the problem lies. I am going to keep going until you

7 tell me to stop.

8 (noise from courtroom audio system).

9 THE COURT: I am sorry, Mr. Belinfante. I don't

10 know what the issue is. We just have to bear through it

11 unless or until somebody fixes it. I've got six kids. It

12 doesn't bother me.

13 MR. BELINFANTE: I have three, I understand. I also

14 have the loudest dog in America. In any case, to evaluate the

15 claims, you have to look at State law. And because the

16 Plaintiffs raise Code Section 21-2-522 and the statutes that

17 surround it, it's those cases that are important. It allows a

18 challenge based on these grounds - in fact some are pending

19 now - misconduct, fraud, irregularity, illegal votes, and

20 error are all grounds to challenge an election in Georgia.

21 All of these issues can be brought in in those cases. Those

22 election challenges have to be decided promptly under

23 21-2-525. And, and this is critical, the relief sought is not

24 to declare someone else a winner, it is to have another

25 election. This goes to the point that there is simply no

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
11 of 44

1 authority for the relief that they seek.

2 Turning first, with that factual predicate in mind,

3 to standing. There has been a fair amount of briefing on

4 whether the status as a presidential elector guarantees

5 standing. The 8th Circuit said yes, the 3rd Circuit said no.

6 And I think the 3rd Circuit's analysis is more persuasive.

7 And to the extent that the Plaintiffs say the 3rd Circuit did

8 not consider their status as an electorate, that is true, but

9 the electorate is not what gives you unique status, it's if

10 the electorate is a candidate. And that is expressly what the

11 3rd Circuit considered in the Bognet decision, and we would

12 suggest that that is the more persuasive one that we rely on

13 in our briefs.

14 But I do want to address two other aspects of

15 standing that are more particularized. One is that when they

16 are seeking to invalidate a State rule or a consent decree

17 that the State has entered into, or anything truly under the

18 Elections Clause, the Bognet case speaks to this as well. And

19 it says that because Plaintiffs are not the General Assembly,

20 nor do they bear any conceivable relationship to the State

21 law-making process, they lack standing to sue over the alleged

22 usurpation of the General Assembly's rights under the

23 Elections and Electors Clauses. That is absolutely true here.

24 The Wood court, the 11th Circuit Wood opinion, says the same,

25 citing Walker, because Federal Courts are not constituted as

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
12 of 44

1 freewheeling enforcers of the Constitution and laws. And that

2 is the injury that underlies all of their claims, which is why

3 they lack standing.

4 I am not going to get into traceability as much

5 because I think the most useful aspect of the traceability

6 issue is the crystallizing of Plaintiffs' complaints, and as

7 I've indicated, the isolating of the State acts in particular.

8 On sovereign immunity, I only want to highlight that

9 a decision just came out in Michigan seeking very similar

10 relief. We will get you the cite. It is Michigan -- it is

11 against Whitmer, King versus Whitmer, in the Eastern District

12 of Michigan. Walks through all of the issues in this case and

13 rejects the claims, denies the relief. On sovereign immunity

14 they raise the point that under Young, you can only get

15 prospective injunctive relief. That is not decertification,

16 that is a retrospective. And so sovereign immunity would bar

17 that. They do seek to prevent the Governor from mailing the

18 results; that can be prospective, but there is just no relief

19 for it. So that is all I will says on sovereign immunity.

20 On laches, the Michigan Court also joined in with

21 Judge Grimberg on laches in the Wood case and said that there

22 is time that is inexcusable. The Court is well-aware of the

23 elements, was there a delay, was it not excusable, and did the

24 delay cause undue prejudice. Judge Grimberg has already

25 looked at this argument in the context of the Wood case and

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
13 of 44

1 the challenge to the consent order and said laches applied.

2 And it does here for all of the Plaintiffs' arguments, and all

3 you need to do, again, is go back to that Page 20 and see why.

4 They say that their policies, the State's policies, led to a

5 de facto abolition of the signature requirement. The

6 complaint at Paragraph 58 acknowledges in Exhibit A that that

7 happened in March of this year. There has been plenty of time

8 that they thought the Secretary overstepped his bounds to

9 bring a challenge in that case or to bring a challenge even

10 afterwards, challenge the OEB. They did not.

11 They say on Page 20 that they, the State, picked the

12 Dominion system. They tell you on Paragraph 12 that happened

13 in 2019. There has been significant litigation over the

14 Dominion system. Nothing has been held in order that the

15 Dominion system is unconstitutional, is flawed, or anything

16 else that has stuck.

17 Third, they said that their regulation, the absentee

18 ballot regulation, permitted absentee ballots as unlawful and

19 unconstitutional. They tell you in Paragraph 60 that happened

20 in April of 2020. Georgia law, in the Administrative

21 Procedures Act, specifically allows you to challenge rules,

22 50-13-10. That wasn't done. They certainly could have. And

23 you don't need the fraud, as they allege, to happen first,

24 because their argument is not based on the fraud, it is based

25 on usurpation of power by the Executive Branch. That can be

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
14 of 44

1 challenged when the rule has been promulgated, when the order

2 is out, and when the Dominion machines were selected.

3 We raise in our brief several forms of abstention.

4 And truly, Your Honor, they all kind of get to the same place

5 under different theories. And again, the reply brief made

6 this point to the clearest. I think at the end of the day,

7 while we will rely on our briefs in terms of why those matter,

8 and the Michigan court found that Colorado River abstention

9 should apply, there are parallel proceedings in State Court --

10 THE COURT: Did they even argue why it shouldn't?

11 MR. BELINFANTE: They argued that in voting rights

12 cases the 11th Circuit does not typically abstain. And those

13 cases are slightly different. They are challenging an

14 underlying statute, for the most part. Siegel is a slightly

15 -- it's a different case. But they are mostly challenging

16 underlying statutes. And there is not a pending election

17 challenge on the same thing in State Court. It's like the

18 other cases that we have seen that we've defended since the

19 gubernatorial election in 2018. So no, I don't think so. But

20 I think the Bush v. Gore analysis is the one that is most

21 critical, and it is that simply the Secretary -- the

22 legislative scheme for electing presidential electors is set

23 forth in the Code in Title 21, it has a means of challenging

24 fraudulent illegal votes, it has a means of allowing the

25 Secretary to address various issues, the State Election Board

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
15 of 44

1 to pass regulations. All of that authority has been delegated

2 by, first, Congress to the Georgia Legislature, and then to

3 the Executive Branch. That is the scheme that is put in

4 place, and that is exactly what they seek to turn on its head.

5 And what the three justice concurrence on which they rely

6 says, makes that impossible. Because the Supreme Court said

7 at Page 120, for the Court, in that case the Florida Court, to

8 step away from this established practice prescribed by the

9 Secretary, the State official charged by the Legislature with

10 the responsibility to obtain and maintain uniformity in the

11 application, operation, and interpretation of election laws

12 was to depart from the legislative scheme.

13 Read the proposed order. That is exactly what the

14 Plaintiffs seek here, and that is exactly what their own

15 authority says the Court cannot issue in terms of relief, and

16 that would actually trump the remaining claims because it

17 would violate the Elections Clause in order to arguably save

18 some other vague right in terms of due process.

19 Turning to that, let me talk briefly about the

20 absentee ballot regulation, the return of the ballots. There

21 is nothing that is inconsistent with that, number one, because

22 if you look in the Election Code, there are five times that

23 the General Assembly said something cannot occur earlier than

24 X date. This doesn't say that. This says beginning on this

25 date they can do this, but it doesn't say it can only happen.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
16 of 44

1 And the five times elsewhere in the Code would suggest that

2 the legislature knew how to change it if they wanted. That is

3 121-2-132, 133, 153, 187, and 384. They are simply reading

4 the regulation to create the conflict, when every piece of

5 Federal and State law says you should read it to avoid the

6 conflict. In terms of the settlement agreement itself, I

7 think Judge Grimberg has sufficiently analyzed that. And it

8 fills the gap. There is no conflict. They can't point to any

9 language that it does. And at the end of the day it is an

10 OEB, an Official Election Bulletin, not a statute and not a

11 regulation of the State Election Board anyway.

12 On the Dominion machines, I think we will rely on --

13 Mr. Miller is going to talk about that a good deal, but also

14 they argue that the audit somehow doesn't save it because of

15 Prohm and that we are estopped from raising Prohm. There are

16 two problems with that. One, estoppel doesn't apply. There

17 has been no final order. They're not estopped from doing

18 anything. That's the Community State Bank vs. Strong decision

19 from the 11th Circuit applying Georgia law 2011. And two,

20 there has not been an order in Curling saying that the

21 machines are unconstitutional. There have been nine

22 preliminary injunctions filed, no standard relief, and it

23 ignores -- the entire premise of the argument ignores that

24 when a voter gets a ballot from the machine they can read who

25 they voted for. And when the hand count took place, they

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
17 of 44

1 didn't scan it back in, they looked at what the ballot said

2 and who they voted for and that is why things were put in

3 different boxes. Their own affidavits talk about that

4 provision of separating the boxes by hand. It resolves the

5 issue.

6 The remaining theories fail -- again, I want to be

7 cognizant of time and save some time for rebuttal. We rely on

8 our briefs in terms of the merits of those, but the equal

9 protection and due process allegations I think are addressed

10 in Wood from the 11th Circuit. On procedural due process, to

11 the extent that that is the due process claim, they don't

12 challenge the Georgia election means of correcting as somehow

13 invalid or insufficient. In fact, they raised it. And so you

14 can't have a procedural due process claim if you have a

15 remedy. You can't have a substantive due process claim if it

16 doesn't shock the conscience, which having to use the remedy

17 here, they can do. Your Honor, with that, unless there are

18 questions, I would will reserve the rest of my time for

19 rebuttal.

20 THE COURT: Thank you, sir.

21 MS. CALLAIS: Good morning, Your Honor. I am Amanda

22 Callais on behalf of Intervenor Defendants, the Democratic

23 Party of Georgia, the DSCC and the DCCC, and I am mindful of

24 many of the points Mr. Belinfante just made, and I will not

25 repeat them, but for the record, Your Honor, I would just like

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
18 of 44

1 to say that for the statements that we've made in our motion

2 to dismiss, this case should be dismissed. The Plaintiffs in

3 this case lack standing. They bring their claims and assert

4 only generalized grievances. This Court also lacks

5 jurisdiction to hear their claims because this case is moot

6 now that the election has been certified, which is what the

7 11th Circuit found just this past Saturday in the Wood v.

8 Raffensperger case. And then Plaintiffs have also failed to

9 state any cognizable claim under the Election and Elections

10 Clause, Equal Protection Clause, and Due Process Clause.

11 Where I would like to begin though is where

12 Mr. Belinfante started, and I would like to bring us back to

13 this point about where we are in terms of Georgia elections

14 and with the remedy asked for in this case. Over a month ago

15 five million Georgians cast their ballots in the 2020

16 presidential election with the majority of them choosing

17 Joseph R. Biden, Jr. as their next President. Those votes,

18 both the ballots that were cast on Dominion machines and the

19 ballots that were cast by absentee were counted. Almost

20 immediately after that count took place, those votes were

21 counted again by hand, and then almost immediately after that

22 count finished, the recount began again, a third time, by

23 machine. Each and every one of those counts has confirmed

24 Georgia voters' choice. Joe Biden should be the next

25 President of The United States. At this point there is simply

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
19 of 44

1 no question that Joe Biden won Georgia's presidential election

2 and with it all of Georgia's 16 electoral votes. Despite

3 that, Plaintiffs have come to this Court eight months after a

4 settlement agreement they challenged was entered, three weeks

5 after the election is over, and days after certification took

6 place, and they asked this Court to take back that choice, to

7 set aside the choice that Georgia voters have made, and to

8 choose the next president by decertifying the 2020

9 presidential election results and ordering the governor to

10 appoint a new slate of electors.

11 THE COURT: Speaking of taking back, how do the

12 Intervening Defendants respond to the Plaintiffs' point in

13 their complaint that many people, including Stacey Abrams,

14 affiliated with the Democratic Party, opposed these machines

15 from the beginning and said that they are rife with the

16 possibility of fraud?

17 MS. CALLAIS: I think, Your Honor, that the key

18 there is that when we talk about a possibility of fraud, that

19 does not mean that fraud has actually occurred. And here

20 Plaintiffs come after an election has taken place and they say

21 on very -- as we will talk about if we get to the TRO

22 portion -- on very limited specious evidence that there is a

23 possibility of fraud. A possibility of fraud does not mean

24 that fraud has actually occurred. And truthfully, Your Honor,

25 that is what the Plaintiffs would need to show to get some

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
20 of 44

1 sort of -- the relief that they are requesting here, that

2 there has been actual fraud. And that is just not in their

3 complaint, it is not in their evidence. It makes no

4 difference whether there has been a possibility of fraud or

5 issues with the machines. That is a case that is in front of

6 Judge Totenberg and that she is deciding. But that is not the

7 evidence that they have presented here, and it certainly does

8 not support their claims.

9 So with that, Your Honor, as the 3rd Circuit

10 explained just a little over a week ago when denying an

11 emergency motion to stop certification in a case similar to

12 this one brought by Donald J. Trump's campaign, voters not

13 lawyers choose the President. Ballots not briefs decide

14 elections. Plaintiffs' request for sweeping relief in this

15 case is unprecedented. It is unprecedented anywhere, and it

16 is particularly unprecedented in Georgia where the ballots

17 have been counted not once, not twice, but three times, and

18 the vote has been confirmed. Their request for relief is not

19 just unprecedented, but also provides a separate and

20 independent grounds for this Court to dismiss this case.

21 As we explained in our motion to dismiss, granting

22 Plaintiffs' remedy in and of itself would require the Court to

23 disenfranchise over 5 million Georgia voters, violating their

24 constitutional right to vote. Post-election

25 disenfranchisement has consistently been found to be a

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
21 of 44

1 violation of the Due Process Clause throughout the courts.

2 For example, in Griffin v. Burns the 1st Circuit found that

3 throwing out absentee votes post election that voters believed

4 has been lawfully cast would violate the Due Process Clause.

5 Similarly, in Marks v. Stinson, a number of years later, the

6 3rd Circuit found the same thing in their finding where they

7 found even if there is actual evidence of fraud, discarding

8 ballots that were legally cast or that voters believed to be

9 legally cast violates the Due Process Clause and is a drastic

10 remedy. This is precisely what would happen here if this

11 Court were to order the requested relief. That order would

12 violate the Due Process Clause. And because of that, this

13 Court cannot grant the remedy that Plaintiffs seek and the

14 Court should dismiss this suit.

15 In finding that the Court can't grant this relief,

16 this Court would not be alone, it would be in actually quite

17 good company, not just from the 1st Circuit and the 3rd

18 Circuit in Griffin and Stinson, but also from more recent

19 cases. In 2016 in Stein v. Cortes, the District Court

20 declined to grant Jill Stein's request to a recount because,

21 quote, it would well insure that no Pennsylvania vote counts,

22 which would be outrageous and unnecessary. Just this cycle,

23 in Donald J. Trump for President v. Boockvar the Plaintiffs

24 sought to invalidate 7 million mail ballots under the Equal

25 Protection Clause, and the Court explained that it has been

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
22 of 44

1 unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such

2 drastic remedy in the contest of an election in terms or the

3 sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. The Court also

4 promptly dismissed there.

5 Just this last Friday in Law v. Whitmer in Nevada

6 State Court, which actually would have the ability to hear a

7 contest, found that it would not decertify the election in

8 Nevada. And the list goes on, Your Honor. We could talk

9 about findings in State Court in Arizona on Friday. There

10 have been over 30 challenges to this election that have been

11 repeatedly dismissed since -- basically since election day.

12 Since election day.

13 So the Court is in good company, and it's not just

14 in company good company nationwide, but it is in good company

15 with the judge right down the hall from here who, just two

16 weeks ago, in a case nearly identical to this one, found a

17 request to disenfranchise nearly 1 million absentee voters in

18 Georgia to be extraordinary. Judge Grimberg explained that to

19 prevent Georgia certification of the votes cast in the general

20 election after millions of people have lawfully cast their

21 ballots, to interfere with the results of an election that has

22 already concluded would be unprecedented and harm the public

23 and in countless ways. Granting injunctive relief here would

24 breed confusion, undermine the public's trust in the election,

25 and potentially disenfranchise over 1 million Georgia voters.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
23 of 44

1 Viewed in comparison to the lack of any demonstrable harm,

2 this Court finds no basis in fact or law to grant Plaintiff

3 the relief he seeks.

4 That same reasoning applies here. And in fact, it

5 applies here even more because most of the claims that were

6 brought in front of Judge Grimberg are the same, but the

7 amount of votes that Plaintiffs here seek to decertify are far

8 greater in scope.

9 On this last point, Your Honor, about the inability

10 of the Court to order the remedy, I wanted to respond to

11 something that Plaintiffs raised in their brief last night.

12 In their brief last night they react to the briefing on

13 mootness that we included in our TRO and note that this

14 Court -- this case would not be moot because the Court can

15 decertify an election. And that Wood v. Raffensperger that

16 came out by the 11th Circuit didn't discuss decertification of

17 the election, only halting certification.

18 And I would just like to point out that if this

19 Court were to decertify the election and specifically to point

20 a new slate of electors, which is what is asked, that in and

21 of itself would also violate the law. The U.S. Constitution

22 empowers State Legislatures to choose the manner of appointing

23 presidential electors, and that is the Electors Clause that

24 Plaintiffs actually challenge. And pursuant to that clause,

25 the Georgia General Assembly has chosen to appoint electors

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
24 of 44

1 according to popular vote. Those are certified by the

2 governor through certificate of ascertainment. That popular

3 vote has already taken place, Your Honor, and if this Court

4 were to order a new slate of electors to be appointed, that

5 would -- that would violate the Electors Clause.

6 In addition, Congress has also provided that

7 electors shall be appointed in each and every state on the

8 Tuesday next after the first Monday in November in every 4th

9 year as also known as Election Day, which this year took place

10 on November 3rd. Georgia has held that election on Election

11 Day, and if this Court were to now, months after the -- over a

12 month after the election, to go and order that a new slate be

13 appointed, it would be violating that statute as well. So for

14 the very reasons that the Plaintiffs -- the very relief that

15 Plaintiffs ask is actually what prevents this Court from

16 issuing any relief in this case, and precisely why it should

17 be dismissed.

18 THE COURT: All right. Thank you. All right, I

19 will hear from the Plaintiffs.

20 MS. POWELL: May it please the Court. Sidney Powell

21 and Harry MacDougald for the Plaintiffs. We are here on a

22 motion to dismiss which requires the Court to view the

23 pleadings and all the facts alleged in the light most

24 favorable to the Plaintiff. In my multiple decades of

25 practice I have never seen a more specifically pled complaint

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
25 of 44

1 of fraud, and replete with evidence of it, both mathematical,

2 statistical, computer, expert, testimonial, video, and

3 multiple other means that show abject fraud committed

4 throughout the State of Georgia.

5 Forget that this machine and its systems originated

6 in Venezuela to ensure the election of Hugo Chavez and that it

7 was designed for that purpose. Look just at what happened in

8 Georgia. Let's start, for example, with the language, "the

9 insularity of the Defendants' and Dominion's stance here in

10 evaluation and management of the security and vulnerability of

11 the system does not benefit the public or citizens' confident

12 exercise of the franchise. The stealth vote alteration or

13 operational interference risk posed by malware that can be

14 effectively invisible to detection, whether intentionally

15 seeded or not, are high once implanted, if equipment and

16 software systems are not properly protected, implemented, and

17 audited. The modality of the system's capacity to deprive

18 voters of their cast votes without burden, long wait times,

19 and insecurity regarding how their votes are actually cast and

20 recorded in the unverified QR code makes the potential

21 constitutional deprivation less transparently visible as well;

22 at least until any portions of the system implode because of

23 system breach, breakdown, or crashes" -- all of which the

24 State of Georgia experienced -- "the operational shortcuts now

25 in setting up or running election equipment or software

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
26 of 44

1 creates other risks that can adversely impact the voting

2 process."

3 THE COURT: You don't have to get into any of the

4 evidence or any of the statements or averments of the

5 complaint because I have read it. And all these statements, I

6 am assuming that every word of it is true. My question -- the

7 first question I have for you, for the Plaintiffs in the case,

8 is why -- first of all, whether you can or cannot pursue these

9 claims in State Court, specifically in Georgia Superior

10 Courts. Just the question is, can you?

11 MS. POWELL: No, Your Honor, we can't. These are

12 exclusively Federal claims with the exception of the election

13 contest allegation. They are predominantly Federal claims,

14 they are brought in Federal Court for that purpose. We have a

15 constitutional right to be here under the Election and

16 Electors Clause. I was not reading evidence. What I was

17 reading to the Court was the opinion of Judge Totenberg that

18 was just issued on 10-11-20 which defeats any allegation of

19 laches or lack of concern over the voting machines. This has

20 been apparent to everyone who has looked at these machines or

21 discussed them in any meaningful way or examined them in any

22 meaningful way, beginning with Carolyn Maloney, a Democratic

23 Representative to Congress back in 2006 who objected to them

24 being approved by CFIUS. Judge Totenberg went on to say that

25 "the Plaintiffs' national cybersecurity experts convincingly

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
27 of 44

1 present evidence that it's not a question of might this

2 actually ever happen but, quote, when will it happen,

3 especially if further protective measures are not taken.

4 Given the masking nature of malware in the current systems

5 described here, if the State and Dominion simply stand by and

6 say we have never seen it, the future does not bode well."

7 And sure enough, exactly the fears articulated in her 147 page

8 opinion, and all the means and mechanisms and problems

9 discussed in that three day hearing she held have now

10 manifested themselves within the State of Georgia in the most

11 extreme way possible.

12 THE COURT: She did not address the question before

13 the Court today though as to the propriety of bringing this

14 suit in this Court, did she?

15 MS. POWELL: There is no other place to bring this

16 suit of Federal Equal Protection claims and the electors.

17 THE COURT: You couldn't bring all of these claims

18 in State Court? Is that your position?

19 MS. POWELL: We are entitled to bring these claims

20 in Federal Court, Your Honor. They are Federal constitutional

21 claims.

22 THE COURT: What do you do with the 11th Circuit's

23 holding in Wood on Saturday that we cannot turn back the clock

24 and create a world in which the 2020 election results are not

25 certified?

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
28 of 44

1 MS. POWELL: Actually we can, but we don't need to

2 because we are asking the Court to decertify.

3 THE COURT: Where does that exist?

4 MS. POWELL: Bush v. Gore. Bush v. Gore was a

5 decertification case. There are other cases we've cited in

6 our brief that allow the Court the decertify. And at the very

7 minimum this Court should order a preliminary injunction to

8 allow discovery and allow us to examine the forensics of the

9 machines. For example, we know that already in Ware County,

10 which is a very small precinct, there were 37 votes that were

11 admittedly flipped by the machines from Mr. Trump to

12 Mr. Biden. That is a 74 vote swing. That equates to

13 approximately the algorithm, our experts also believe, was run

14 across the State that weighed Biden votes more heavily than it

15 did Trump votes. That is a systemic indication of fraud that

16 Judge Totenberg was expressing concern about in her decision

17 just weeks before the election. We have witness after witness

18 who have explained how the fraud can occur within the

19 machines. We know for example that there were crashes, just

20 like she feared in the decision, and everybody expressed

21 concern about. We know machines were connected to the

22 internet which is a violation of their certification

23 requirements and Federal law itself. We could not have acted

24 more quickly. In fact, the certification issue wasn't even

25 ripe until it was actually certified.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
29 of 44

1 THE COURT: But you weren't limited in your remedies

2 to attacking the certification, you could have attacked the

3 machines months ago.

4 MS. POWELL: That is what happened in the Totenberg

5 decision, and that is why I read it to the Court. The

6 machines were attacked by parties, and the election was

7 allowed to go forward. And we have come forward with our

8 claims as fast as is humanly possible. This is a massive

9 case, and of great concern not just to the nation and to

10 Georgia, but to the entire world, because it is imperative

11 that we have a voting system that people can trust.

12 They talk about disenfranchising voters, well there

13 are over a million voters here in Georgia that will be

14 disenfranchised by the counting of illegal ballots that render

15 theirs useless. It's every legal vote that must be counted.

16 Here we have scads of evidence. And the vote count here is

17 narrow. I mean, the disparity now is just a little over

18 10,000 votes. Just any one of our categories of that we have

19 identified require decertification. For example, 20,311

20 nonresidents voted illegally. Between 16,000 and 22,000

21 unrequested absentee ballots were sent in in violation of the

22 legislative scheme. Between 21,000 and 38,000 absentee

23 ballots were returned by voters but never counted. 32,347

24 votes in Fulton County were identified to be statistically

25 anomalous. And the vote spike for Mr. Biden, that is

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
30 of 44

1 completely a mathematical impossibility, according to multiple

2 expert affidavits we provided, shows that it was like 120,000

3 Biden votes all of a sudden magically appear after midnight on

4 election night. That happens to coincide with the time we

5 have video of the Fulton County election workers running the

6 same stack of rather pristine-looking ballots through the

7 machine multiple times. And as for the recounts, that makes

8 no difference because if you recount the same fake ballots,

9 you achieve -- in the same machines, you achieve the same

10 results. That is why the hand count in Ware County that

11 revealed the 74 swing is so important and indicative of the

12 systemic machine fraud that our experts have identified, and

13 why it is so important that we at least get access for the

14 Department of Defense even, or our own experts, or jointly, to

15 examine the machines in Fulton County and the ten counties

16 that we requested in our protective order, or our motion

17 for --

18 THE COURT: How is this whole case not moot from the

19 standpoint of even if you were to win, and win Georgia, could

20 Mr. Trump win the election?

21 MS. POWELL: Well fraud, Your Honor, can't be

22 allowed by a Court of Law to stand --

23 THE COURT: That is not what I am asking. I am not

24 saying that there may not be other issues that need to be

25 addressed, and that there might not be questions that need to

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
31 of 44

1 be investigated, I am asking, as a practical matter, in this

2 particular election, can Mr. Trump even win the election even

3 if he wins Georgia?

4 MS. POWELL: Yes, he can win the election.

5 THE COURT: How would that happen?

6 MS. POWELL: Because there are other states that are

7 still in litigation that have even more serious fraud than we

8 have in Georgia. It is nowhere near over. And it doesn't

9 affect just the presidential election. This fraud affects

10 senate seats, congressional seats, gubernatorial seats, it

11 affects even local elections. Another huge statistic that is

12 enough by itself to change the result is the at least 96,000

13 absentee ballots that were voted but are not reflected as

14 being returned. All of these instances are violations of

15 Federal law, as well as Georgia law. And in addition,

16 Mr. Ramsland's report finds that the ballot marking machine

17 appears to have abnormally influenced election results and

18 fraudulently and erroneously attributed between thirteen

19 thousand seven hundred and twenty-five thousand and the

20 136,908 votes to Mr. Biden just in Georgia. We have multiple

21 witnesses who just saw masses of pristine ballots appearing to

22 be computer marked, not hand marked, and those were repeatedly

23 run through machines until votes were injected in the system

24 that night without being observed by lawfully required

25 observers in violation of Georgia and Federal law that

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
32 of 44

1 resulted in the mass shoot-up spike of votes for Mr. Biden.

2 Mr. Favorito's affidavit is particularly important. He talks

3 about the Ware County Waycross City Commission candidate who

4 reported that the Ware County hand audit is flipped those 74

5 votes. That is a statistically significant swing for a

6 precinct that small, and there is no explaining for it other

7 than the machine did it. We have testimony of witnesses who

8 saw that their vote did not come out the same way it was.

9 Mr. Favorito is a computer tech expert. He said that the vote

10 flipping malware was resident on the county election

11 management system of possibly one or more precinct or

12 scanners. There was also an instance where it came out of the

13 Arlo system changed, and there was no way to verify the votes

14 coming out of the individual precincts versus coming out of

15 Arlo because apparently they didn't keep the individual

16 results so that they can be compared. So there was a vote

17 swapping incident through the Arlo process also.

18 There was a misalignment of results, according to

19 Mr. Favorito, among all three presidential candidates. Rather

20 than just a swapping of the results for two candidates, in

21 other words, they would sometimes put votes into a third-party

22 candidate and take those out and put them in Mr. Biden's pile.

23 The system itself according to its own technological handbook

24 explains that it allows for votes to be put in, it can scan to

25 set or overlook anything it wants to overlook, put those in an

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
33 of 44

1 adjudication pile, and then in the adjudication process, which

2 apparently was conducted in top secret at the English Street

3 warehouse, where all kinds of strange things were going on,

4 were just thrown out. They could just literally drag and drop

5 thousands of votes and throw them out. That is why it is so

6 important that we at least get temporary relief to examine the

7 systems and to hold off the certification or decertify or ask

8 the Court to halt the proceedings continuing right now until

9 we can have a few days to examine the machines and get the

10 actual evidence off the machines and look at the ballots

11 themselves, because we know there were a number of counterfeit

12 ballots that were used in the Fulton County count that night.

13 It would be a simple matter to examine 100,000 or so ballots

14 and look at which ones are fake. It is possible to determine

15 that with relative ease.

16 This is not about who or which government officials

17 knew anything was wrong with the machine. It's entirely

18 possible that many people did not know anything was wrong with

19 them. But it is about ensuring the integrity of the vote and

20 the confidence of the people that the will they expressed in

21 their vote is what actually determines the election. Very few

22 people in this country have any confidence in that level right

23 now. Very few.

24 The standard is only preponderance of the evidence.

25 We have shown more than enough for a prima facie case to get

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
34 of 44

1 to -- meet the standard required -- this Court is required to

2 apply. It is crucial that we decertify and stop the vote. We

3 need to have discovery. It's so important to the American

4 people, particularly in a country that is built on the rule of

5 law, to know that their election system is fair and honest.

6 THE COURT: But that rule of law limits where these

7 suits can be filed and who can bring them. Specifically on

8 the standing issue, how does your -- how do your clients

9 survive the motion to dismiss with respect to the standing

10 issue if I don't follow the 8th Circuit's case opinion in

11 Carson?

12 MS. POWELL: Even the Court's decision in Wood is so

13 distinguishable it should make clear electors have standing.

14 In that case, for example, the State could not even say who

15 did have standing. But under the Constitution, electors

16 clearly do.

17 THE COURT: But Georgia, unlike Minnesota,

18 differentiates between candidates and Presidential electors.

19 Right?

20 MS. POWELL: I am not sure about that. But we also

21 have the Cobb County Republican Party official who is suing,

22 and the electors themselves are part of the Constitutional

23 Clause that entitles them to standing.

24 THE COURT: I just think you have a pretty glib

25 response to what the 11th Circuit has held regarding these

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
35 of 44

1 cases. I mean, the 11th Circuit has basically said, you know,

2 we are not -- the Federal Courts are courts of limited

3 jurisdiction and we are not open 24/7 to remedy every

4 freewheeling constitutional issue that comes up. They have

5 made it clear, the Appellate Courts have made it clear, they

6 don't want District Courts handling this matter, they want

7 State Courts handling State election disputes, even regarding

8 in Federal elections. The Federal Government has nothing to

9 do with the State election and how it is conducted. As you

10 said, it is the Secretary of State who is the chief election

11 officer, and decides it. Why shouldn't the State of Georgia

12 investigate this? Why should it be a Federal judge?

13 MS. POWELL: Because we raise Federal constitutional

14 issues that are paramount to --

15 THE COURT: They raised Federal constitutional

16 issues in Wood.

17 MS. POWELL: -- to equal protection. He did not

18 request decertification. That is one of the things that

19 distinguished that case. He was not an elector or

20 representative of a county. He was simply an individual. And

21 I am not sure that decision is correct because, in that case,

22 they were also wondering who could challenge it. Well

23 obviously the Federal Equal Protection Clause and the

24 constitutional issues we have raised here give this Court

25 Federal question jurisdiction. This Court's one of the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
36 of 44

1 primary checks and balances on the level of fraud that we are

2 experiencing here. It is extremely important that this Court

3 exercise its jurisdiction as a gatekeeper on these issues.

4 There were numerous departures from the State statute,

5 including the early processing of votes, and the de facto

6 abolition of signature matches that give rise to Federal Equal

7 Protection claims.

8 THE COURT: Well, back to the standing question.

9 You know, the Plaintiffs allege that their interests are the

10 same, basically one in the same, as any Georgia voters. In

11 Paragraph 156 of the complaint they aver that Defendants

12 diluted the lawful ballots of Plaintiffs and of other Georgia

13 voters and electors. Further, Defendants allege that -- the

14 Plaintiffs allege that Defendants further violated Georgia

15 voters's rights, and they allege, the Plaintiffs, that quote,

16 all candidates, political parties, voters, including without

17 limitation Plaintiffs, have a vested interest. It doesn't

18 sound like your clients are special, that they have some

19 unique status that they enjoy that allows them to bring this

20 suit instead of anyone else. How do they have standing?

21 MS. POWELL: They have the unique status of being

22 the Presidential electors selected to vote for Donald Trump at

23 the electoral college. They were not certified as -- and

24 decertification is required to make sure they can do their

25 jobs that they were selected to do.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
37 of 44

1 THE COURT: Under the 3rd Circuit case, does your

2 theory survive?

3 MS. POWELL: Our theory is -- I think the 3rd

4 Circuit decision is wrong, the 8th Circuit decision is

5 correct. There is no circumstance in which a Federal elector

6 should not be able to seek relief in Federal Court, thanks to

7 our Constitution. It is one of our most important principles.

8 There were multiple means of fraud committed here.

9 We have also the military intelligence proof of interference

10 in the election, the Ware County 37 votes being flipped, the

11 video of the Fulton City vote count, they lied about the water

12 leak, they ran off observers, they brought in unusually

13 packaged ballots from underneath a table. One person is seen

14 scanning the same QR code three different times in the machine

15 and big batch of ballots which would explain why the same

16 number of ballots gets injected repeated into the system.

17 That corresponds with the math and the algorithms showing a

18 spike of 26,000 Biden votes at that time. After Trump's lead

19 of 103,997 votes there were mysteriously 4800 votes injected

20 into the system here in Georgia multiple times, the same

21 number, 4800 repeatedly. That simply doesn't happen in the

22 absence of fraud. All of the facts we have laid out in our

23 well-pleaded complaint require that this Court decertify the

24 election results or at least, at the very least, stop the

25 process now in a timely fashion and give us an opportunity to

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
38 of 44

1 examine the machines in ten counties and get further

2 discovery, particularly of what happened in Fulton County.

3 Those things need to be resolved before any citizen of Georgia

4 can have any confidence in the results of this election.

5 Allowing voters to cast ballots that are solely

6 counted based on their voting designations and not on an

7 unencrypted humanly unverifiable QR code that can be subject

8 to external manipulation and does not allow proper voter

9 verification and ballot vote auditing cannot withstand the

10 scrutiny of a Federal Court and cannot pass muster as a

11 legitimate voting system in the United States of America. For

12 those reasons, we request the Court to deny the motion to

13 dismiss, allow us a few days, perhaps even just five, to

14 conduct an examination of the machines that we have requested

15 from the beginning, and find out exactly what went on and give

16 the Court further evidence it might want to rule in our favor,

17 because the fraud that has happened here has destroyed any

18 public confidence that the will of the people is reflected in

19 their vote, and just simply cannot stand.

20 THE COURT: Thank you, ma'am. All right, rebuttal?

21 This is Josh Belinfante.

22 MR. BELINFANTE: Just briefly, Your Honor. Your

23 Honor, just a few points. One, I want the get back to

24 Colorado River abstention. There was a means and a process to

25 do that. You had asked earlier about their response. I did

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
39 of 44

1 go back and check. The Siegel case they rely on cites to only

2 Burford and Pullman abstention, not Colorado River. It is

3 appropriate in this case, and as the Michigan Court concluded,

4 the Moses Cone case which establishes it says that there is

5 really not a reason not to do so when you have concurrent

6 jurisdiction.

7 And that is one of the problems with the Plaintiffs'

8 argument. They keep telling you that they can't go to State

9 Court because they have Federal constitutional claims. Those

10 can be litigated in State Court pursuant to 1983. They also

11 say on laches that -- it is interesting, they have cited to

12 you and read to you numerous aspects of the Curling case, and

13 they say that going back to 2006 somebody thought that there

14 was something wrong with these machines. Well if that's the

15 case, then it makes the laches argument even stronger. These

16 are the arguments that they are about the machines. They

17 certainly could have been litigated prior to after the

18 certification of the election.

19 The other big problem that they raise is that the

20 Curling case, everything that was read was stayed by the 11th

21 Circuit, presuming that it is reading the part of the opinion

22 that I think it is. If it is going back to a prior opinion,

23 that is about old machines which aren't even used anymore.

24 And then in Ware County, that was provided in an affidavit

25 that was new as part of the reply brief, it should not be

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
40 of 44

1 counted. There is authority for that, Sharpe v. Global

2 Security International from the Southern District of Alabama,

3 from 2011. But even still, that can be brought in the State

4 Court under the challenge mechanisms set.

5 You asked what is the authority for decertifying the

6 election. The citation was Bush v. Gore. Bush v. Gore stayed

7 a Florida recount, it did not decertify the election. But

8 most importantly, what Bush v. Gore said is, when there is a

9 State process, the Elections Clause says that has to continue.

10 And they have not shown you that the State process is

11 insufficient, invalid, whatsoever. On standing, they find

12 themselves in a bind. If they are candidates as electors, the

13 State election code says you can bring a challenge under

14 21-2-522. If they are not candidates and the 3rd Circuit

15 reasoning applies, then the 11th Circuit in Wood would apply

16 too, and say that when you are not a candidate you don't have

17 standing. So either way, they find themselves out of Federal

18 jurisdiction on these arguments.

19 Just a few points on closing. They tell you that

20 the voters lack confidence in the election system. Well,

21 since 2018 candidates that were not successful have tried to

22 overturn the rule of voters in the Courts. Since 2018 courts

23 have stayed with the State of Georgia and upheld Georgia's

24 election laws and Georgia's election machines. This Court

25 should do the same. The State is doing what it can to enhance

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
41 of 44

1 public confidence. That is why we went the extra step of a

2 hand count, not that pushes ballots through a machine, but

3 that looks at what the ballot says, and when the voter had

4 access to that ballot they could see too. And if they voted

5 for Donald Trump it will show it on the ballot; if they voted

6 for Joe Biden it will show it on the ballot. And if not, they

7 can correct it right there. That is the actions that instill

8 confidence, not this. And if they want to challenge those

9 election results, the State Courts are open for them to do it,

10 there are hearings scheduled now, and those hearings should

11 proceed and not this one. Thank you.

12 THE COURT: Thank you, sir. Ms. Callais, did you

13 have anything else?

14 MS. CALLAIS: No, Your Honor.

15 THE COURT: All right. Thank you very much. I have

16 considered the entire record in the case and I find that, even

17 accepting as true every averment of the complaint, I find that

18 this Court must grant the Defendants' motions to dismiss, both

19 of the motions to dismiss, beginning with the proposition that

20 Federal Courts are courts of limited jurisdiction; they are

21 not the legal equivalent to medical hospitals which have

22 emergency rooms that are open 24/7 to all comers. On the

23 contrary, the 11th Circuit has specifically held that Federal

24 Courts don't entertain post election contests about vote

25 counting and misconduct that may properly be filed in the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
42 of 44

1 State courts. So whether the Defendants have been subjected

2 to a Federal claim, which is Equal Protection, Due Process,

3 Elections Clause and Electors Clause, it does not matter. The

4 11th Circuit has said these claims in this circuit must be

5 brought in State court. There is no question that Georgia has

6 a statute that explicitly directs that election contests be

7 filed in Georgia Superior Courts, and that is what our Federal

8 Courts have said in this circuit, it is that is exactly right.

9 Sometimes Federal judges are criticized for

10 committing the sin of judicial activism. The appellate courts

11 have responded to that and said enough is enough is right. In

12 fact, enough is too much. And the courts have convincingly

13 held that these types of cases are not properly before Federal

14 Courts, that they are State elections, State courts should

15 evaluate these proceedings from start to finish.

16 Moreover, the Plaintiffs simply do not have standing

17 to bring these claims. This Court rejects the 8th Circuit's

18 nonbinding persuasive-value-only holding in Carson vs Simon

19 and I find that the Defendants -- excuse me -- the Plaintiffs

20 don't have standing, because anyone could have brought this

21 suit and raised the exact same arguments and made the exact

22 same allegations that the Plaintiffs have made in their

23 complaint. The Plaintiffs have essentially alleged in their

24 pleading that their interests are one and the same as any

25 Georgia voter. I do not believe that the 11th Circuit would

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
43 of 44

1 follow the reasoning of the 8th circuit in Carson.

2 Additionally, I find that the Plaintiffs waited too

3 late to file this suit. Their primary complaint involves the

4 Dominion ballot marking devices. They say that those machines

5 are susceptible to fraud. There is no reason they could not

6 have followed the Administrative Procedure Act and objected to

7 the rule-making authority that had been exercised by the

8 Secretary of State. This suit could have been filed months

9 ago at the time the machines were adopted. Instead, the

10 Plaintiffs waited until over three weeks after the election to

11 file the suit. There is no question in my mind that if I were

12 to deny the motions to dismiss, the matter would be brought

13 before the 11th Circuit and the 11th Circuit would reverse me.

14 The relief that the Plaintiffs seek, this Court cannot grant.

15 They ask the Court to order the Secretary of State to

16 decertify the election results as if such a mechanism even

17 exists, and I find that it does not. The 11th Circuit said as

18 much in the Wood case on Saturday.

19 Finally, in their complaint, the Plaintiffs

20 essentially ask the Court for perhaps the most extraordinary

21 relief ever sought in any Federal Court in connection with an

22 election. They want this Court to substitute its judgment for

23 that of two-and-a-half million Georgia voters who voted for

24 Joe Biden, and this I am unwilling to do.

25 The motion for temporary restraining order that was

U.S. DISTRICT COURT

2 are granted. And we are adjourned.

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY, EMERGENCY, AND


PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 2 of 104

NATURE OF THE ACTION

This civil action brings to light a massive election fraud, multiple

violations of Georgia laws, including O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-30(d), 21-2-31, 21-2-

33.1 and §21-2-522, and multiple Constitutional violations, as shown by fact

witnesses to specific incidents, multiple expert witnesses and the sheer

mathematical impossibilities found in the Georgia 2020 General Election. 1

1.

As a civil action, the plaintiff’s burden of proof is a “preponderance of

the evidence” to show, as the Georgia Supreme Court has made clear that, “[i]

was not incumbent upon [Plaintiff] to show how the [] voters would have voted

if their [absentee] ballots had been regular. [Plaintiff] only had to show that

there were enough irregular ballots to place in doubt the result.” Mead v.

Sheffield, 278 Ga. 268, 272, 601 S.E.2d 99, 102 (2004) (citing Howell v. Fears,

275 Ga. 627, 571 S.E.2d 392 (2002).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 3 of 104

2.

The scheme and artifice to defraud was for the purpose of illegally and

fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe

Biden as President of the United States.

3.

The fraud was executed by many means, 2 but the most fundamentally

troubling, insidious, and egregious is the systemic adaptation of old-fashioned

“ballot-stuffing.” It has now been amplified and rendered virtually invisible

by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that

very purpose. Mathematical and statistical anomalies rising to the level of

impossibilities, as shown by affidavits of multiple witnesses, documentation,

and expert testimony evince this scheme across the state of Georgia.

Especially egregious conduct arose in Forsyth, Paulding, Cherokee, Hall, and

Barrow County. This scheme and artifice to defraud affected tens of

thousands of votes in Georgia alone and “rigged” the election in Georgia for

Joe Biden.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 4 of 104

4.

The massive fraud begins with the election software and hardware

from Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (“Dominion”) only recently

purchased and rushed into use by Defendants Governor Brian Kemp,

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Georgia Board of Elections.

Sequoia voting machines were used in 16 states and the District of Colombia

in 2006. Smartmatic, which has revenue of about $100 million, focuses on

Venezuela and other markets outside the U.S. 3

After selling Sequoia, Smartmatic's chief executive, Anthony Mugica.

Mr. Mugica said, he hoped Smartmatic would work with Sequoia on projects

in the U.S., though Smartmatic wouldn't take an equity stake.” Id.

5.

Smartmatic and Dominion were founded by foreign oligarchs and

dictators to ensure computerized ballot-stuffing and vote manipulation to

whatever level was needed to make certain Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez

never lost another election. (See Redacted whistleblower affiant, attached as

Exh. 2) Notably, Chavez “won” every election thereafter.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 5 of 104

6.

As set forth in the accompanying whistleblower affidavit, the

Smartmatic software was designed to manipulate Venezuelan elections in

favor of dictator Hugo Chavez:

Smartmatic’s electoral technology was called “Sistema de Gestión


Electoral” (the “Electoral Management System”). Smartmatic was a
pioneer in this area of computing systems. Their system provided for
transmission of voting data over the internet to a computerized
central tabulating center. The voting machines themselves had a
digital display, fingerprint recognition feature to identify the voter,
and printed out the voter’s ballot. The voter’s thumbprint was linked
to a computerized record of that voter’s identity. Smartmatic created
and operated the entire system.

7.

A core requirement of the Smartmatic software design was the

software’s ability to hide its manipulation of votes from any audit. As the

whistleblower explains:

Chavez was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a


way that the system could change the vote of each voter without
being detected. He wanted the software itself to function in such a
manner that if the voter were to place their thumb print or
fingerprint on a scanner, then the thumbprint would be tied to a
record of the voter’s name and identity as having voted, but that voter
would not be tracked to the changed vote. He made it clear that the
system would have to be setup to not leave any evidence of the
changed vote for a specific voter and that there would be no evidence
to show and nothing to contradict that the name or the fingerprint or
thumb print was going with a changed vote. Smartmatic agreed to
create such a system and produced the software and hardware that
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 6 of 104

accomplished that result for President Chavez. (See Id., see also Exh.
3, Aff. Cardozo, attached hereto)).

8.

The design and features of the Dominion software do not permit a

simple audit to reveal its misallocation, redistribution, or deletion of votes.

First, the system's central accumulator does not include a protected real-time

audit log that maintains the date and time stamps of all significant election

events. Key components of the system utilize unprotected logs. Essentially

this allows an unauthorized user the opportunity to arbitrarily add, modify,

or remove log entries, causing the machine to log election events that do not

reflect actual voting tabulations—or more specifically, do not reflect the

actual votes of or the will of the people. (See Hursti August 2019 Declaration,

attached hereto as Exh. 4, at pars. 45-48; and attached hereto, as Exh. 4B,

October 2019 Declaration in Document 959-4, at p. 18, par. 28).

9.

Indeed, under the professional standards within the industry in

auditing and forensic analysis, when a log is unprotected, and can be altered,

it can no longer serve the purpose of an audit log. There is incontrovertible

physical evidence that the standards of physical security of the voting

machines and the software were breached, and machines were connected to

the internet in violation of professional standards and state and federal laws.

Moreover, lies and conduct of Fulton County election workers about a

delay in voting at State Farm Arena and the reasons for it evince the fraud.

11.

Specifically, video from the State Farm Arena in Fulton County shows

that on November 3rd after the polls closed, election workers falsely claimed

a water leak required the facility to close. All poll workers and challengers

were evacuated for several hours at about 10:00 PM. However, several

election workers remained unsupervised and unchallenged working at the

computers for the voting tabulation machines until after 1:00 AM.

12.

Defendants Kemp and Raffensperger rushed through the purchase of

Dominion voting machines and software in 2019 for the 2020 Presidential

Election 4. A certificate from the Secretary of State was awarded to Dominion


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 8 of 104

Voting Systems but is undated. (See attached hereto Exh. 5, copy

Certification for Dominion Voting Systems from Secretary of State).

Similarly a test report is signed by Michael Walker as Project Manager but is

also undated. (See Exh. 6, Test Report for Dominion Voting Systems,

Democracy Suite 5-4-A)

13.

Defendants Kemp and Raffensperger disregarded all the concerns that

caused Dominion software to be rejected by the Texas Board of Elections in

2018, namely that it was vulnerable to undetected and non-auditable

manipulation. An industry expert, Dr. Andrew Appel, Princeton Professor of

Computer Science and Election Security Expert has recently observed, with

reference to Dominion Voting machines: "I figured out how to make a slightly

different computer program that just before the polls were closed, it switches

some votes around from one candidate to another. I wrote that computer

program into a memory chip and now to hack a voting machine you just need

7 minutes alone with it and a screwdriver." (Attached hereto Exh. 7, Study,

Ballot-Marking Devices (BMDs) Cannot Assure the Will of the Voters by

Andrew W. Appel Princeton University, Richard A. DeMillo, Georgia Tech

Philip B. Stark, for the Univ. of California, Berkeley, December 27, 2019). 5
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 9 of 104

14.

As explained and demonstrated in the accompanying redacted

declaration of a former electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military

Intelligence with experience gathering SAM missile system electronic

intelligence, the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf

of China and Iran in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the

most recent US general election in 2020. This Declaration further includes a

copy of the patent records for Dominion Systems in which Eric Coomer is

listed as the first of the inventors of Dominion Voting Systems. (See

Attached hereto as Exh. 8, copy of redacted witness affidavit, 17 pages,

November 23, 2020).

15.

Expert Navid Keshavarez-Nia explains that US intelligence services

had developed tools to infiltrate foreign voting systems including Dominion.

He states that Dominion’s software is vulnerable to data manipulation by

unauthorized means and permitted election data to be altered in all

battleground states. He concludes that hundreds of thousands of votes that

were cast for President Trump in the 2020 general election were transferred

to former Vice-President Biden. (Exh. 26).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 10 of 104

16.

Additionally, incontrovertible evidence Board of Elections records

demonstrates that at least 96,600 absentee ballots were requested and

counted but were never recorded as being returned to county election boards

by the voter. Thus, at a minimum, 96,600 votes must be disregarded. (See

Attached hereto, Exh. 9, R. Ramsland Aff.).

17.

The Dominion system used in Georgia erodes and undermines the

reconciliation of the number of voters and the number of ballots cast, such

that these figures are permitted to be unreconciled, opening the door to ballot

stuffing and fraud. The collapse of reconciliation was seen in Georgia’s

primary and runoff elections this year, and in the November election, where

it was discovered during the hand audit that 3,300 votes were found on

memory sticks that were not uploaded on election night, plus in Floyd county,

another 2,600 absentee ballots had not been scanned. These “found votes”

reduced Biden’s lead over Donald Trump 6.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 11 of 104

18.

Georgia’s election officials and poll workers exacerbated and helped,

whether knowingly or unknowingly, the Dominion system carry out massive

voter manipulation by refusing to observe statutory safeguards for absentee

ballots. Election officials failed to verify signatures and check security

envelopes. They barred challengers from observing the count, which also

facilitated the fraud.

19.

Expert analysis of the actual vote set forth below demonstrates that at

least 96,600 votes were illegally counted during the Georgia 2020 general

election. All of the evidence and allegation herein is more than sufficient to

place the result of the election in doubt. More evidence arrives by the day

and discovery should be ordered immediately.

20.

Georgia law, (OCGA 21-5-552) provides for a contest of an election

where:

(1) Misconduct, fraud, or irregularity by any primary or election


official or officials sufficient to change or place in doubt the result; . .
. (3) When illegal votes have been received or legal votes rejected at
the polls sufficient to change or place in doubt the result; (4) For any
error in counting the votes or declaring the result of the primary or
election, if such error would change the result; or (5) For any other
cause which shows that another was the person legally nominated,
elected, or eligible to compete in a run-off primary or election.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 12 of 104

21.

As further set forth below, all of the above grounds have been satisfied

and compel this Court to set aside the 2020 General Election results which

fraudulently concluded that Mr. Biden defeated President Trump by 12,670

votes.

22.

Separately, and independently, there are sufficient Constitutional

grounds to set aside the election results due to the Defendants’ failure to

observe statutory requirements for the processing and counting of absentee

ballots which led to the tabulation of more than fifty thousand illegal ballots.

THE PARTIES

23.

Plaintiff Coreco Ja’Qan (“CJ”) Pearson, is a registered voter who

resides in Augusta, Georgia. He is a nominee of the Republican Party to be a

Presidential Elector on behalf of the State of Georgia. He has standing to

bring this action under Carson v. Simon, 2020 US App Lexis 34184 (8th Cir.

Oct. 29, 2020). He brings this action to set aside and decertify the election

results for the Office of President of the United States that was certified by

the Georgia Secretary of State on November 20, 2020. The certified results

showed a plurality of 12,670 votes in favor of former Vice-President Joe Biden

over President Trump.

Plaintiff Jason M. Shepherd is the Chairman of the Cobb County

Republican Party and brings this action in his official capacity on behalf of

the Cobb County Republican Party.

30.

Plaintiff Brian Jay Van Gundy is registered voter in Gwinnett County,

31.

Defendant Governor Brian Kemp (Governor of Georgia) is named

herein in his official capacity as Governor of the State of Georgia. On or

about June 9, 2019, Governor Kemp bought the new Dominion Voting

Systems for Georgia, budgeting 150 million dollars for the machines. Critics

are quoted, “Led by Abrams, Democrats fought the legislation and pointed to

cybersecurity experts who warned it would leave Georgia's elections

susceptible to hacking and tampering.” And “Just this week, the Fair Fight

voting rights group started by [Stacy] Abrams launched a television ad

critical of the bill. In a statement Thursday, the group called it “corruption at

its worst” and a waste of money on “hackable voting machines.” 7


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 15 of 104

32.

Defendant Brad Raffensperger ("Secretary Raffensperger") is named

herein in his official capacity as Secretary of State of the State of Georgia and

the Chief Election Official for the State of Georgia pursuant to Georgia’s

Election Code and O.C.G.A. § 21-2-50. Secretary Raffensperger is a state

official subject to suit in his official capacity because his office "imbues him

with the responsibility to enforce the [election laws]." Grizzle v. Kemp, 634

F.3d 1314, 1319 (11th Cir. 2011). Secretary Raffensperger serves as the

Chairperson of Georgia's State Election Board, which promulgates and

enforces rules and regulations to (i) obtain uniformity in the practices and

proceedings of election officials as well as legality and purity in all primaries

and general elections, and (ii) be conducive to the fair, legal, and orderly

conduct of primaries and general elections. See O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-30(d), 21-2-

31, 21-2-33.1. Secretary Raffensperger, as Georgia's chief elections officer, is

further responsible for the administration of the state laws affecting voting,

including the absentee voting system. See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-50(b).

33.

Defendants Rebecca N. Sullivan, David J. Worley, Matthew Mashburn,

and Anh Le (hereinafter the "State Election Board") are members of the State

Election Board in Georgia, responsible for "formulating, adopting, and

promulgating such rules and regulations, consistent with law, as will be


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 16 of 104

conducive to the fair, legal, and orderly conduct of primaries and elections."

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-31(2). Further, the State Election Board "promulgate[s] rules

and regulations to define uniform and nondiscriminatory standards

concerning what constitutes a vote and what will be counted as a vote for

each category of voting system" in Georgia. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-31(7). The State

Election Board, personally and through the conduct of the Board's employees,

officers, agents, and servants, acted under color of state law at all times

relevant to this action and are sued for emergency declaratory and injunctive

relief in their official capacities.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

34.

This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1331 which

provides, “The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil

actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.

35.

This Court also has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1343

because this action involves a federal election for President of the United

States. “A significant departure from the legislative scheme for appointing

Presidential electors presents a federal constitutional question.” Bush v.

Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 113 (2000) (Rehnquist, C.J., concurring); Smiley v. Holm,

285 U.S. 355, 365 (1932).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 17 of 104

36.

The jurisdiction of the Court to grant declaratory relief is conferred by

28 U.S.C. 2201 and 2202 and by Rule 57 and 65, Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.

37.

This Court has jurisdiction over the related Georgia Constitutional

claims and State law claims under 28 U.S.C. 1367.

38.

In Georgia, the "legislature" is the General Assembly. See Ga. Const.

Art. III, § I, Para. I.

39.

Because the United States Constitution reserves for state legislatures

the power to set the time, place, and manner of holding elections for Congress

and the President, state executive officers, including but not limited to

Secretary Raffensperger, have no authority to exercise that power

unilaterally, much less flout existing legislation or the Constitution itself.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

40.

Plaintiffs bring this action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988, and

under Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-522 to remedy deprivations of rights,


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 18 of 104

privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws of the United

States and to contest the election results.

41.

The United States Constitution sets forth the authority to regulate

federal elections, the Constitution provides:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and
Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature
thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such
Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators. U.S.
CONST. art. I, § 4 (“Elections Clause”).

42.

With respect to the appointment of presidential electors, the

Constitution provides: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the

Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole

Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled

in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an

Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an

Elector. U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1 (“Electors Clause”).

43.

Neither Defendant is a “Legislature” as required under the Elections

Clause or Electors Clause. The Legislature is “‘the representative body which

ma[kes] the laws of the people.’” Smiley 285 U.S. 365. Regulations of

congressional and presidential elections, thus, “must be in accordance with


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 19 of 104

the method which the state has prescribed for legislative enactments.” Id. at

367; see also Ariz. State Legislature v. Ariz. Indep. Redistricting Comm’n, 576

U.S. 787, 135 S. Ct. 2652, 2668 (U.S. 2015).

44.

While the Elections Clause "was not adopted to diminish a State's

authority to determine its own lawmaking processes," Ariz. State Legislature,

135 S. Ct. at 2677, it does hold states accountable to their chosen processes

when it comes to regulating federal elections, id. at 2668. "A significant

departure from the legislative scheme for appointing Presidential electors

presents a federal constitutional question." Bush, 531 U.S. at 113 (Rehnquist,

C.J., concurring); Smiley, 285 U.S. at 365.

45.

Plaintiffs also bring this action under Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-522,

Grounds for Contest:

A result of a primary or election may be contested on one or more of


the following grounds:

(1) Misconduct, fraud, or irregularity by any primary or election


official or officials sufficient to change or place in doubt the result;

(2) When the defendant is ineligible for the nomination or office in


dispute;

(3) When illegal votes have been received or legal votes rejected at
the polls sufficient to change or place in doubt the result;

(4) For any error in counting the votes or declaring the result of the
primary or election, if such error would change the result; or
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 20 of 104

(5) For any other cause which shows that another was the person
legally nominated, elected, or eligible to compete in a run-off primary
or election.

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-522.

46.

Under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-10, Presidential Electors are elected.

47.

Under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(l)(B), the Georgia Legislature instructed

the county registrars and clerks (the "County Officials") to handle the

absentee ballots as directed therein. The Georgia Legislature set forth the

procedures to be used by each municipality for appointing the absentee ballot

clerks to ensure that such clerks would "perform the duties set forth in this

Article." See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-380.1.

48.

The Georgia Election Code instructs those who handle absentee ballots

to follow a clear procedure:

Upon receipt of each [absentee] ballot, a registrar or clerk shall write


the day and hour of the receipt of the ballot on its envelope. The
registrar or clerk shall then compare the identifying information
on the oath with the information on file in his or her office, shall
compare the signature or make on the oath with the signature or
mark on the absentee elector's voter card or the most recent update
to such absentee elector's voter registration card and application for
absentee ballot or a facsimile of said signature or maker taken from
said card or application, and shall, if the information and signature
appear to be valid and other identifying information appears to be
correct, so certify by signing or initialing his or her name below the
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 21 of 104

voter's oath. Each elector's name so certified shall be listed by the


registrar or clerk on the numbered list of absentee voters prepared
for his or her precinct.

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(l )(B) (emphasis added).

49.

Under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(l)(C), the Georgia Legislature also

established a clear and efficient process to be used by County Officials if

they determine that an elector has failed to sign the oath on the outside

envelope enclosing the ballot or that the signature does not conform with

the signature on file in the registrar's or clerk's office (a "defective absentee

ballot").

50.

The Georgia Legislature also provided for the steps to be followed by

County Officials with respect to defective absentee ballots:

If the elector has failed to sign the oath, or if the


signature does not appear to be valid, or if the elector has failed
to furnish required information or information so furnished does
not conform with that on file in the registrar's or clerk's office,
or if the elector is otherwise found disqualified to vote, the registrar
or clerk shall write across the face of the envelope "Rejected," giving
the reason therefor. The board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk
shall promptly notify the elector of such rejection, a copy of which
notification shall be retained in the files of the board of registrars or
absentee ballot clerk for at least one year.

O.C.G.A. § 21-2 -386(a) (l)(C) (emphasis added).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 22 of 104

I. DEFENDANTS' UNAUTHORIZED ACTIONS VIOLATED THE


GEORGIA ELECTION CODE AND CAUSED THE PROCESSING OF
DEFECTIVE ABSENTEE BALLOTS.

51.

Notwithstanding the clarity of the applicable statutes and the

constitutional authority for the Georgia Legislature's actions, on March 6,

2020, the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, Secretary Raffensperger,

and the State Election Board, who administer the state elections (the

"Administrators") entered into a "Compromise and Settlement Agreement

and Release" (the "Litigation Settlement") with the Democratic Party of

Georgia, Inc., the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (collectively, the "Democrat

Party Agencies"), setting forth different standards to be followed by the clerks

and registrars in processing absentee ballots in the State of Georgia8.

52.

Under the Settlement, however, the Administrators agreed to change

the statutorily prescribed manner of handling absentee ballots in a manner

that is not consistent with the laws promulgated by the Georgia Legislature

for elections in this state.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 23 of 104

53.

The Settlement provides that the Secretary of State would issue an

"Official Election Bulletin" to county Administrators overriding the statutory

procedures prescribed for those officials. That power, however, does not

belong to the Secretary of State under the United States Constitution.

54.

The Settlement also changed the signature requirement reducing it to a

broad process with discretion, rather than enforcement of the signature

requirement as statutorily required under O.C.G.A. 21-2-386(a)(l).

55.

The Georgia Legislature instructed county registers and clerks (the

“County Officials”) regarding the handling of absentee ballots in O.C.G.A. S

21-2-386(a)(1)(B), 21-2-380.1. The Georgia Election Code instructs those who

handle absentee ballots to follow a clear procedure:

Upon receipt of each absentee ballot, a registrar or clerk shall write


the day and hour of the receipt of the ballot on its envelope. The
registrar or clerk shall then compare the identifying information on
the oath with the information on file in his or her office, shall
compare the signature or make on the oath with the signature or
mark on the absentee elector’s voter card or the most recent update
to such absent elector’s voter registration card and application for
absentee ballot or a facsimile of said signature or maker taken from
said card or application, and shall, if the information and signature
appear to be valid and other identifying information appears to be
correct, so certify by signing or initialing his or her name below the
voter’s oath …
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 24 of 104

O.C.G.A. S 21-2-386(a)(1)(B).

56.

The Georgia Legislature prescribed procedures to ensure that any

request for an absentee ballot must be accompanied by sufficient

identification of the elector's identity. See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-38 l(b )(1)

(providing, in pertinent part, "In order to be found eligible to vote an

absentee ballot in person at the registrar's office or absentee ballot clerk's

office, such person shall show one of the forms of identification listed in Code

Section 21-2-417 ... ").

57.

An Affiant testified, under oath, that “It was also of particular interest

to me to see that signatures were not being verified and that there were no

corresponding envelopes seen in site.” (Attached hereto as Exh. 10, Mayra

Romera, at par. 7).

58.

To reflect the very reason for process, it was documented that in the

primary election, prior to the November 3, 2020 Presidential election, many

ballots got to voters after the election. Further it was confirmed that “Untold

thousands of absentee ballot requests went unfulfilled, and tens of thousands

of mailed ballots were rejected for multiple reasons including arriving too late
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 25 of 104

to be counted. See the Associated Press, Vote-by-Mail worries: A leaky

pipeline in many states, August 8, 2020. 9

59.

Pursuant to the Settlement, the Administrators delegated their

responsibilities for determining when there was a signature mismatch by

considering in good faith only partisan-based training - "additional guidance

and training materials" drafted by the Democrat Party Agencies’

representatives contradicting O.C.G.A. § 21-2-31.

B. U N L A W F U L E A R L Y P R O C E S S I N G O F A B S E N T E E B A L L O T S

60.

In April 2020, the State Election Board adopted on a purportedly

“Emergency Basis” Secretary of State Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15, Processing

Ballots Prior to Election Day. Under this rule, county election officials are

authorized to begin processing absentee ballots up to three weeks befoe

election day. Thus, the rule provides in part that “(1) Beginning at 8:00 AM

on the third Monday prior to Election Day, the county election

superintendent shall be authorized to open the outer envelope of

accepted absentee ballots …” (Emphasis added).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 26 of 104

61.

Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 is in direct and irreconcilable conflict with

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(2), which prohibits the opening of absentee ballots

until election day:

After the opening of the polls on the day of the primary, election,
or runoff, the registrars or absentee ballot clerks shall be
authorized to open the outer envelope on which is printed the
oath of the elector in such a manner as not to destroy the oath printed
thereon; provided, however, that the registrars or absentee ballot
clerk shall not be authorized to remove the contents of such outer
envelope or to open the inner envelope marked “Official Absentee
Ballot,” except as otherwise provided in this Code section.

(Emphasis added).

62.

In plain terms, the statute clearly prohibits opening absentee ballots

prior to election day, while the rule authorizes doing so three weeks before

election day. There is no reconciling this conflict. The State Election Board

has authority under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-31 to adopt lawful and legal rules and

regulations, but no authority to promulgate a regulation that is directly

contrary to an unambiguous statute. Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 is therefore

plainly and indisputably unlawful.

63.

The State Election Board re-adopted Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 on

November 23, 2020 for the upcoming January 2021 runoff election.

64.

According to Secretary Raffensperger, in the presidential general

election, 2,457,880 votes were cast in Georgia for President Donald J. Trump,

and 2,472,002 votes were cast for Joseph R. Biden, which narrowed in

Donald Trump’s favor after the most recent recount.

65.

Secretary Raffensperger declared that for the Hand Recount:

Per the instructions given to counties as they conduct their audit


triggered full hand recounts, designated monitors will be given
complete access to observe the process from the beginning. While the
audit triggered recount must be open to the public and media,
designated monitors will be able to observe more closely. The general
public and the press will be restricted to a public viewing area.
Designated monitors will be able to watch the recount while standing
close to the elections’ workers conducting the recount.

Political parties are allowed to designate a minimum of two monitors


per county at a ratio of one monitor per party for every ten audit
boards in a county... Beyond being able to watch to ensure the
recount is conducted fairly and securely, the two-person audit boards
conducting the hand recount call out the votes as they are recounted
, providing monitors and the public an additional way to keep tabs
on the process. 10
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 28 of 104

66.

The audit was conducted O.C.G.A. § 21-2-498. This code section

requires that audits be completed “in public view” and authorizes the State

Board of Elections to promulgate regulations to administer an audit “to

ensure that collection of validly cast ballots is complete, accurate and

trustworthy throughout the audit.”

67.

Plaintiffs can show that Democrat-majority counties provided political

parties and candidates, including the Trump Campaign, no meaningful

access or actual opportunity to review and assess the validity of mail-in

ballots during the pre-canvassing meetings. While in the audit or recount,

they witnessed Trump votes being put into Biden piles.

68.

69.

The Affidavits set forth various conduct amounting to federal crimes,

clear improprieties, insufficiencies, and improper handling of ballots by

County Officials and their employees that Ms. Coleman and Ms. Diedrich

personally observed while monitoring the Hand Recount. (See Exh. 11,

Coleman Aff., 3-10; Exh. 12, Diedrich Aff., 4-14.)

70.

As a result of her observations of the Hand Recount as a Republican

Party monitor, Ms. Diedrich declared, "There had been no meaningful way to

review or audit any activity" at the Hand Recount. (See Exh. 12, Diedrich

Aff.,14.)

71.

As a result of their observations of the Hand Recount as Republican

Party monitors, Ms. Coleman likewise declared, "There was no way to tell if

any counting was accurate or if the activity was proper." (See Exh. 12,

Coleman Aff.,10).

72.

On Election Day, when the Republican poll watchers were, for a limited

time, present and allowed to observe in various polling locations, they


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 30 of 104

observed and reported numerous instances of election workers failing to

follow the statutory mandates relating to two critical requirements, among

other issues:

(1) a voter’s right to spoil their mail-in ballot at their polling

place on election day and to then vote in-person, and

(2) the ability for voters to vote provisionally on election day

when a mail-in ballot has already been received for them, but when

they did not cast those mail-in ballots, who sought to vote in person

during early voting but was told she already voted; she emphasized

that she had not. The clerk told her he would add her manually with

no explanation as to who or how someone voted using her name.

(Attached hereto as Exh. 13, Aff. Ursula Wolf)

73.

Another observer for the ballot recount testified that “at no time did I

witness any Recounter or individual participate in the recount verifying

signatures [on mail-in ballots].” (Attached hereto as Exh. 14, Nicholas Zeher

Aff).

74.

In some counties, there was no actual "hand" recounting of the ballots

during the Hand Recount, but rather, County Officials and their employees
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 31 of 104

simply conducted another machine count of the same ballots. (See. Exh. 9,

10). That will not reveal the massive fraud of which plaintiffs complain.

75.

A large number of ballots were identical and likely fraudulent. An

Affiant explains that she observed a batch of utterly pristine ballots:

14. Most of the ballots had already been handled; they had been
written on by people, and the edges were worn. They showed obvious
use. However, one batch stood out. It was pristine. There was a
difference in the texture of the paper - it was if they were intended
for absentee use but had not been used for that purposes. There was
a difference in the feel.

15. These different ballots included a slight depressed pre-fold so


they could be easily folded and unfolded for use in the scanning
machines. There were no markings on the ballots to show where they
had com~ from, or where they had been processed. These stood out.

16. In my 20 years of experience of handling ballots, I observed that


the markings for the candidates on these ballots were unusually
uniform, perhaps even with a ballot-marking device. By my estimate
in observing these ballots, approximately 98% constituted votes for
Joe Biden. I only observed two of these ballots as votes for President
Donald J. Trump.” (See Exh. 15 Attached hereto).

76.

The same Affiant further testified specifically to the breach of the chain

of custody of the voting machines the night before the election stating:

we typically receive the machines, the ballot marking devices – on


the Friday before the election, with a chain of custody letter to be
signed on Sunday, indicating that we had received the machines and
the counts on the machines when received, and that the machines
have been sealed. In this case, we were asked to sign the chain
of custody letter on Sunday, even though the machines were
not delivered until 2:00 AM in the morning on Election Day.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 32 of 104

The Milton precinct received its machines at 1:00 AM in the morning


on Election Day. This is unacceptable and voting machines should
[not] be out of custody prior to an Election Day. Id.

II. EVIDENCE OF FRAUD

A PATTERN SHOWING THE ABSENCE OF MISTAKE

77.

The stunning pattern of the nature and acts of fraud demonstrate an

absence of mistake.

78.

The same Affiant further explained, in sworn testimony, that the

breach included: “when we did receive the machines, they were not sealed or

locked, the serial numbers were not what were reflected on the related

documentation…” See Id.

79.

An affiant testified that “While in Henry County, I personally

witnessed ballots cast for Donald Trump being placed in the pile for Joseph

Biden, I witnessed this happen at table “A”.’ (See Exh. 14, par. 27).

80.

The Affiant further testified, that “when this was brought to Ms. Pitts

attention, it was met with extreme hostility. At no time did I witness any

ballot cast for Joseph Biden be placed in the pile for Donald Trump. (See

Exh. 14, par. 28).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 33 of 104

81.

Another Affiant in the mail-in ballot and absentee ballot recounting

process, testified in her sworn affidavit, that “on November 16, 2020 … It was

also of particular interest to me to see that signatures were not being verified

and there were no corresponding envelopes seen in sight.” (See Exh. 10, at

Par. 7).

82.

Yet another Affiant, in the recount process, testified that he received

push back and a lack of any cooperation and was even threatened as if he did

something wrong, when he pointed out the failure to follow the rules with the

observers while open mail-in ballot re-counting was occurring, stating:

“However, as an observer, I observed that the precinct had twelve


(12) counting tables, but only one (1) monitor from the Republican
Party. I brought it up to Erica Johnston since the recount rules
provided for one (1) monitor from each Party per ten (10) tables or
part thereof…”

(See Attached hereto, Exh. 16, Ibrahim Reyes Aff.)


83.

Another Affiant explains a pattern of behavior that is alarming, in his

position as an observer in the recount on absentee ballots with barcodes, he

testified:

I witnessed two poll workers placing already separated paper


machine receipt ballots with barcodes in the Trump tray,
placing them in to the Biden tray. I also witnessed the same two
poll workers putting the already separated paper receipt ballots in
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 34 of 104

the “No Vote” and “Jorgensen” tray, and removing them and putting
them inside the Biden tray, They then took out all of the ballots out
of the Biden tray and stacked them on the table, writing on the count
ballot sheet.

(See Attached hereto, Exh.17, pars. 4-5, Aff. of Consetta Johson).

84.

Another Affiant, a Democrat, testified in his sworn affidavit, that

before he was forced to move back to where he could not see, he had in fact

seen “absentee ballots for Trump inserted into Biden’s stack, and counted as

Biden votes. This occurred a few times”. (See attached hereto, Exh. 18 at

Par. 12, Aff. of Carlos Silva).

85.

Yet another Affiant testified about the lack of process and the hostility

only towards the Republican party, which is a violation of the Equal

Protection Clause. He testified:

I also observed throughout my three days in Atlanta, not once did


anyone verify these ballots. In fact, there was no authentication
process in place and no envelopes were observed or allowed to be
observed. I saw hostility towards Republican observers but never
towards Democrat observers. Both were identified by badges.

(See Id., at pars. 13-14).

86.

Another Affiant explained that his ballot was not only not processed in

accordance with Election law, he witnessed people reviewing his ballot to

decide where to place it, which violated the privacy of his ballot, and when he
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 35 of 104

tried to report it to a voter fraud line, he never received any contact or

cooperation stating:

“I voted early on October 12 at the precinct at Lynwood Park …


Because of irregularities at the polling location, I called the voter
fraud line to ask why persons were discussing my ballot and
reviewing it to decide where to place it. When I called the state fraud
line, I was directed to a worker in the office of the Secretary of
State…”

(See Attached hereto, Exh. 19, Andrea ONeal Aff, at par. 3).

87.

He further testified that when he was an Observer at the Lithonia

location, he saw many irregularities, and specifically “saw an auditor sort

Biden votes that he collected and sorted into ten ballot stacks, which [the

auditor] did not show anyone.” Id. at p. 8.

88.

Another Affiant testified about the use of different paper for ballots,

that would constitute fraud stating:

I noticed that almost all of the ballots I reviewed were for Biden.
Many batches went 100% for Biden. I also observed that the
watermark on at least 3 ballots were solid gray instead of
transparent, leading me to believe the ballot was counterfeit. I
challenged this and the Elections Director said it was a legitimate
ballot and was due to the use of different printers. Many ballots had
markings for Biden only, and no markings on the rest of the ballot.

(See Attached hereto, Exh. 20, Aff of Debra J. Fisher, at pars. 4, 5, 6).
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 36 of 104

89.

An Affiant testified, that while at the Audit, ‘While in Henry County,

I personally witnessed ballots cast for Donald Trump being placed in

the pile for Joseph Biden. I witnessed this happen at table “A”’. (See

attached hereto as Exh. 22, Kevin Peterford, at par. 29). Another Affiant

testified, that “I witnessed two poll workers placing already separated

paper machine receipt ballots with barcodes in the Trump tray,

placing them in to the Biden tray. I also witnessed the same two poll

workers putting the already separated paper receipt abllots in the “No

Vote” and “Jorgensen” tray, and removing them and putting them

inside the Biden tray, They then took out all of the ballots out of the

Biden tray and stacked them on the table, writing on the count ballot

sheet. (See Exh. 17, Johnson, pars. 4-5).

90.

Another Affiant, a Democrat, testified in his sworn affidavit,

before he was forced to move back to where he could not see, he had

in fact seen, “I also saw absentee ballots for Trump inserted


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 37 of 104

into Biden’s stack, and counted as Biden votes. This occurred

a few times”. (See Exh. 18, Par. 12).

91.

A Republican National Committee monitor in Georgia’s election

recount, Hale Soucie, told an undercover journalist there are individuals

counting ballots who have made continuous errors,” writes O’Keefe. Project

B. THE VOTING MACHINES, SECRECY

SOFTWARE USED BY VOTING MACHINES THROUGHOUT GEORGIA


IS CRUCIAL

92.

These violations of federal and state laws impacted the election of

November 3, 2020 and set the predicate for the evidence of deliberate

fraudulent conduct, manipulation, and lack of mistake that follows. The

commonality and statewide nature of these legal violations renders

certification of the legal vote untenable and warrants immediate


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 38 of 104

impoundment of voting machines and software used throughout Georgia for

expert inspection and retrieval of the software.

93.

An Affiant, who is a network & information cyber-security expert,

under sworn testimony explains that after studying the user manual for

Dominion Voting Systems Democracy software, he learned that the

information about scanned ballots can be tracked inside the software

system for Dominion:

(a) When bulk ballot scanning and tabulation begins, the


"ImageCast Central" workstation operator will load a batch of ballots
into the scanner feed tray and then start the scanning procedure
within the software menu. The scanner then begins to scan the
ballots which were loaded into the feed tray while the "ImageCast
Central" software application tabulates votes in real-time.
Information about scanned ballots can be tracked inside the
"ImageCast Central" software application.

(See attached hereto Exh 22, Declaration of Ronald Watkins, at par. 11).

94.

Affiant further explains that the central operator can remove

or discard batches of votes. “After all of the ballots loaded into the

scanner's feed tray have been through the scanner, the "ImageCast Central"

operator will remove the ballots from the tray then have the option to either

"Accept Batch" or "Discard Batch" on the scanning menu …. “(Id. at par. 8).
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 39 of 104

95.

Affiant further testifies that the Dominion/ Smartmatic user manual

itself makes clear that the system allows for threshold settings to be set to

mark all ballots as “problem ballots” for discretionary determinations on where

the vote goes. It states:

During the scanning process, the "ImageCast Central" software will


detect how much of a percent coverage of the oval was filled in by the
voter. The Dominion customer determines the thresholds of which the
oval needs to be covered by a mark in order to qualify as a valid vote.
If a ballot has a marginal mark which did not meet the specific
thresholds set by the customer, then the ballot is considered a
"problem ballot" and may be set aside into a folder named
"NotCastImages". Through creatively tweaking the oval coverage
threshold settings it should be possible to set thresholds in such a way
that a non-trivial amount of ballots are marked "problem ballots" and
sent to the "NotCastImages" folder. It is possible for an administrator
of the ImageCast Central work station to view all images of scanned
ballots which were deemed "problem ballots" by simply navigating via
the standard "Windows File Explorer" to the folder named
"NotCastImages" which holds ballot scans of "problem ballots". It is
possible for an administrator of the "ImageCast Central" workstation
to view and delete any individual ballot scans from the
"NotCastImages" folder by simply using the standard Windows delete
and recycle bin functions provided by the Windows 10 Pro operating
system.

Id. at pars. 9-10.

96.

The Affiant further explains the vulnerabilities in the system when the

copy of the selected ballots that are approved in the Results folder are made
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 40 of 104

to a flash memory card – and that is connected to a Windows computer

stating:

It is possible for an administrator of the "ImageCast Central"


workstation to view and delete any individual ballot scans from the
"NotCastImages" folder by simply using the standard Windows delete
and recycle bin functions provided by the Windows 10 Pro operating
system. … The upload process is just a simple copying of a "Results"
folder containing vote tallies to a flash memory card connected to the
"Windows 10 Pro" machine. The copy process uses the standard drag-
n-drop or copy/paste mechanisms within the ubiquitous "Windows
File Explorer". While a simple procedure, this process may be error
prone and is very vulnerable to malicious administrators.

Id. at par. 11-13 (emphasis supplied).

97.

It was announced on “Monday, [July 29, 2019], [that] Governor Kemp

awarded a contract for 30,000 new voting machines to Dominion Voting

Systems, scrapping the state’s 17-year-old electronic voting equipment and

replacing it with touchscreens that print out paper ballots.” 12 Critics are

quoted: “Led by Abrams, Democrats fought the legislation and pointed to

cybersecurity experts who warned it would leave Georgia's elections

susceptible to hacking and tampering.” And “Just this week, the Fair Fight

voting rights group started by [Stacy] Abrams launched a television ad


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 41 of 104

critical of the bill. In a statement Thursday, the group called it “corruption at

its worst” and a waste of money on “hackable voting machines.”13

98.

It was further reported in 2019 that the new Dominion Voting

Machines in Georgia “[w]ith Georgia’s current voting system, there’s no way

to guarantee that electronic ballots accurately reflect the choices of

voters because there’s no paper backup to verify results, with it being

reported that:

(a) Recounts are meaningless on the direct-recording electronic


voting machines because they simply reproduce the same numbers
they originally generated.

(b) But paper ballots alone won’t protect the sanctity of elections
on the new touchscreens, called ballot-marking devices.

(c) The new election system depends on voters to verify the printed
text of their choices on their ballots, a step that many voters might
not take. The State Election Board hasn't yet created regulations for
how recounts and audits will be conducted. And paper ballots embed
selections in bar codes that are only readable by scanning machines,
leaving Georgians uncertain whether the bar codes match their
votes. 14
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 42 of 104

i. As part of the scheme and artifice to defraud the plaintiffs, the


candidates and the voters of undiminished and unaltered voting
results in a free and legal election, the Defendants and other persons
known and unknown committed the following violations of law:

50 U.S.C. § 20701 requires the retention and preservation of records

and papers by officers of elections under penalty of fine and imprisonment:

§ 20701. Retention and preservation of records and papers by


officers of elections; deposit with custodian; penalty for
violation

Every officer of election shall retain and preserve, for a period of


twenty-two months from the date of any general, special, or primary
election of which candidates for the office of President, Vice
President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the
House of Representatives, or Resident Commissioner from the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are voted for, all records and
papers which come into his possession relating to any
application, registration, payment of poll tax, or other act
requisite to voting in such election, except that, when required
by law, such records and papers may be delivered to another officer
of election and except that, if a State or the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico designates a custodian to retain and preserve these records and
papers at a specified place, then such records and papers may be
deposited with such custodian, and the duty to retain and preserve
any record or paper so deposited shall devolve upon such custodian.
Any officer of election or custodian who willfully fails to comply with
this section shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not
more than one year, or both.

50 U.S.C.§ 20701.

99.

In the primaries it was confirmed that, “The rapid introduction of new

technologies and processes in state voting systems heightens the risk of


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 43 of 104

foreign interference and insider tampering. That’s true even if simple human

error or local maneuvering for political advantage are more likely threats 15.

100.

A Penn Wharton Study from 2016 concluded that “Voters and their

representatives in government, often prompted by news of high-profile voting

problems, also have raised concerns about the reliability and integrity of the

voting process, and have increasingly called for the use of modern technology

such as laptops and tablets to improve convenience.” 16

101.

As evidence of the defects or features of the Dominion Democracy Suite,

as described above, the same Dominion Democracy Suite was denied

certification in Texas by the Secretary of State on January 24, 2020

specifically because of a lack of evidence of efficiency and accuracy and

to be safe from fraud or unauthorized manipulation.17

17
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 44 of 104

102.

Plaintiffs have since learned that the "glitches" in the Dominion

system–that have the uniform effect of taking votes from Trump and shifting

them to Biden—have been widely reported in the press and confirmed by the

analysis of independent experts.

103.

Plaintiffs can show, through expert and fact witnesses that:

c. Dominion/ Smartmatic Systems Have Massive End User


Vulnerabilities.

1. Users on the ground have full admin privileges to machines and


software. Having been created to “rig” elections, the Dominion
system is designed to facilitate vulnerability and allow a select few
to determine which votes will be counted in any election. Workers
were responsible for moving ballot data from polling place to the
collector’s office and inputting it into the correct folder. Any
anomaly, such as pen drips or bleeds, results in a ballot being
rejected. It is then handed over to a poll worker to analyze and
decide if it should count. This creates massive opportunity for purely
discretionary and improper vote “adjudication.”

2. Affiant witness (name redacted for security reasons18), in his sworn


testimony explains he was selected for the national security guard
detail of the President of Venezuela, and that he witnessed the
creation of Smartmatic for the purpose of election vote manipulation
to insure Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez never lost an election
and he saw it work. Id.

“The purpose of this conspiracy was to create and operate a voting


system that could change the votes in elections from votes against
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 45 of 104

persons running the Venezuelan government to votes in their


favor in order to maintain control of the government.”

(See Exh. 2, pars. 6, 9, 10).

104.

Smartmatic’s incorporators and inventors have backgrounds evidencing

their foreign connections, including Venezuela and Serbia, specifically its

identified inventors:

Applicant: SMARTMATIC, CORP.

Inventors: Lino Iglesias, Roger Pinate, Antonio Mugica, Paul Babic,


Jeffrey Naveda, Dany Farina, Rodrigo Meneses, Salvador Ponticelli,
Gisela Goncalves, Yrem Caruso. 19

105.

The presence of Smartmatic in the United States—owned by foreign

nationals, and Dominion, a Canadian company with its offices such as the

Office of General Counsel in Germany, would have to be approved by CFIUS.

CFIUS was created in 1988 by the Exon-Florio Amendment to the Defense

Production Act of 1950. CFIUS’ authorizing statute was amended by the

Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA).

As amended, section 721 of the DPA directs "the President, acting


through [CFIUS]," to review a "covered transaction to determine
the effects of the transaction on the national security of the
United States." 50 U.S.C. app. § 2170(b)(1)(A). Section 721 defines
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 46 of 104

a covered transaction as "any merger, acquisition, or takeover …, by


or with any foreign person which could result in foreign control of any
person engaged in interstate commerce in the United States." Id. §
2170(a)(3). Ralls Corp. v. Comm. on Foreign Inv., 758 F.3d 296, 302,
411 U.S. App. D.C. 105, 111, (2014). Review of covered transactions
under section 721 begins with CFIUS. As noted, CFIUS is chaired by
the Treasury Secretary and its members include the heads of
various federal agencies and other high-ranking Government
officials with foreign policy, national security and economic
responsibilities.

106.

Then Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney wrote October 6, 2006 to the

Secretary of Treasury, Henry M. Paulson, Jr., Objecting to approval of

Dominion/Smartmatic by CFIUS because of its corrupt Venezuelan

origination, ownership and control. (See attached hereto as Exh. 24, Carolyn

Maloney Letter of October 6, 2006). Our own government has long known of

this foreign interference on our most important right to vote, and it had

either responded with incompetence, negligence, willful blindness, or abject

corruption. In every CFIUS case, there are two TS/SCI reports generated.

One by the ODNI on the threat and one by DHS on risk to critical

infrastructure. Smartmatic was a known problem when it was nonetheless

approved by CFIUS.

107.

The Wall Street Journal in 2006 did an investigative piece and found

that, “Smartmatic came to prominence in 2004 when its machines were used
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 47 of 104

in an election to recall President Chávez, which Mr. Chávez won handily --

and which the Venezuelan opposition said was riddled with fraud.

Smartmatic put together a consortium to conduct the recall elections,

including a company called Bizta Corp., in which Smartmatic owners had a

large stake. For a time, the Venezuelan government had a 28% stake in Bizta

in exchange for a loan.’ 20 …“Bizta paid off the loan in 2004, and Smartmatic

bought the company the following year. But accusations of Chávez

government control of Smartmatic never ended, especially since Smartmatic

scrapped a simple corporate structure, in which it was based in the U.S. with

a Venezuelan subsidiary, for a far more complex arrangement. The company

said it made the change for tax reasons, but critics, including Rep. Carolyn

Maloney (D., N.Y.) and TV journalist Lou Dobbs, pounded the company for

alleged links to the Chávez regime. Id. Since its purchase by Smartmatic,

Sequoia's sales have risen sharply to a projected $200 million in 2006, said

Smartmatic's chief executive, Anthony Mugica.” Id.

108.

Indeed, Mr. Cobucci testified, through his sworn affidavit, that he born

in Venezuela, is cousins with Antonio (‘Anthony’) Mugica, and he has


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 48 of 104

personal knowledge of the fact that Anthony Mugica incorporated

Smartmatic in the U.S. in 2000 with other family members in Venezuela

listed as owners. He also has personal knowledge that Anthony Mugica

manipulated Smartmatic to ensure the election for Chavez in the 2004

Referendum in Venezuela. He also testified, through his sworn affidavit, that

Anthony Mugica received tens of millions of dollars from 2003- 2015 from the

Venezuelan government to ensure Smartmatic technology would be

implemented around the world, including in the U.S. (See attached hereto,

Exh. 25, Juan Carlos Cobucci Aff.)

109.

Another Affiant witness testifies that in Venezuela, she was in an

official position related to elections and witnessed manipulations of petitions

to prevent a removal of President Chavez and because she protested, she was

summarily dismissed. Corroborating the testimony of our secret witness, and

our witness Mr. Cobucci, cousin of Anthony Mugica, who began Smartmatic,

and this witness explains the vulnerabilities of the electronic voting system

and Smartmatica to such manipulations. (See Exh. 3, Diaz Cardozo Aff).

110.

Specific vulnerabilities of the systems in question that have been

documented or reported include:


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 49 of 104

a. Barcodes can override the voters’ vote: As one University of California,

Berkeley study shows, “In all three of these machines [including

Dominion Voting Systems] the ballot marking printer is in the same

paper path as the mechanism to deposit marked ballots into an

attached ballot box. This opens up a very serious security

vulnerability: the voting machine can make the paper ballot (to add

votes or spoil already-cast votes) after the last time the voter sees the

paper, and then deposit that marked ballot into the ballot box without

the possibility of detection.” (See Exh. 7). 21

b. Voting machines were able to be connected to the internet by way of

laptops that were obviously internet accessible. If one laptop was

connected to the internet, the entire precinct was compromised.

c. We … discovered that at least some jurisdictions were not aware that

their systems were online,” said Kevin Skoglund, an independent

security consultant who conducted the research with nine others, all of

them long-time security professionals and academics with expertise in

election security. Vice. August 2019. 22


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 50 of 104

d. October 6, 2006 – Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney called on Secretary

of Treasury Henry Paulson to conduct an investigation into Smartmatic

based on its foreign ownership and ties to Venezuela. (See Exh. 24)

e. Congresswoman Maloney wrote that “It is undisputed that Smartmatic

is foreign owned and it has acquired Sequoia … Smartmatica now

acknowledged that Antonio Mugica, a Venezuelan businessman has a

controlling interest in Smartmatica, but the company has not revealed

who all other Smartmatic owners are.” Id.

f. Dominion “got into trouble” with several subsidiaries it used over

alleged cases of fraud. One subsidiary is Smartmatic, a company “that

has played a significant role in the U.S. market over the last decade,”

according to a report published by UK-based AccessWire 23.

g. Litigation over Smartmatic “glitches” alleges they impacted the 2010

and 2013 mid-term elections in the Philippines, raising questions of

cheating and fraud. An independent review of the source codes used in

the machines found multiple problems, which concluded, “The software


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 51 of 104

inventory provided by Smartmatic is inadequate, … which brings into

question the software credibility…” 24

h. Dominion acquired Sequoia Voting Systems as well as Premier Election

Solutions (formerly part of Diebold, which sold Premier to ES&S in

2009, until antitrust issues forced ES&S to sell Premier, which then

was acquired by Dominion). 25.

i. Dominion entered into a 2009 contract with Smartmatic and provided

Smartmatic with the PCOS machines (optical scanners) that were used

in the 2010 Philippine election—the biggest automated election run by

a private company. The international community hailed the

automation of that first election in the Philippines. 26 The results’

transmission reached 90% of votes four hours after polls closed and

Filipinos knew for the first time who would be their new president on

Election Day. In keeping with local election law requirements,

Smartmatic and Dominion were required to provide the source code of


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 52 of 104

the voting machines prior to elections so that it could be independently

verified. 27

j. In late December of 2019, three Democrat Senators, Warren,

Klobuchar, Wyden, and House Member Mark Pocan wrote about their

‘particularized concerns that secretive & “trouble -plagued

companies”’ “have long skimped on security in favor of

convenience,” in the context of how they described the voting machine

systems that three large vendors – Election Systems & Software,

Dominion Voting Systems, & Hart InterCivic – collectively provide

voting machines & software that facilitate voting for over 90% of all

eligible voters in the U.S.” (See attached hereto as Exh. 26, copy of

Senator Warren, Klobuchar, Wyden’s December 6, 2019 letter).

k. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) said the findings [insecurity of voting

systems] are “yet another damning indictment of the profiteering

election vendors, who care more about the bottom line than protecting

our democracy.” It’s also an indictment, he said, “of the notion that

important cybersecurity decisions should be left entirely to county


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 53 of 104

election offices, many of whom do not employ a single cybersecurity

specialist.” 28

111.

An analysis of the Dominion software system by a former US Military

Intelligence expert concludes that the system and software have been

accessible and were certainly compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran and

China. By using servers and employees connected with rogue actors and

hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked

credentials, Dominion neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data

and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor

and manipulate elections, including the most recent one in 2020. (See Exh.

7).

112.

An expert witness in pending litigation in the United States District

Court, Northern District Court of Georgia, Atlanta Div., 17-cv-02989

specifically testified to the acute security vulnerabilities, among other facts,

by declaration filed on October 4, 2020, (See Exh. 4B, Document 959-4


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 54 of 104

attached hereto, paragraph. 18 and 20 of p. 28, Exh. 4, Hursti Declaration).

wherein he testified or found:

1) The failure of the Dominion software “to meet the methods and

processes for national standards for managing voting system problems and

should not be accepted for use in a public election under any circumstances.”

2) In Hursti’s declaration he explained that “There is evidence of

remote access and remote troubleshooting which presents a grave security

implication and certified identified vulnerabilities should be considered an

“extreme security risk.” Id. Hari Hursti also explained that USB drives with

vote tally information were observed to be removed from the presence of poll

watchers during a recent election. Id. The fact that there are no controls of

the USB drives was seen recently seen the lack of physical security and

compliance with professional standards, " in one Georgia County, where it is

reported that 3,300 votes were found on memory sticks not loaded plus in

Floyd county, another 2,600 were unscanned, and the “found votes” reduced

Biden’s lead over Donald Trump 29.

(a) In the prior case against Dominion, supra, further

implicating the secrecy behind the software used in Dominion Systems,


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 55 of 104

Dr. Eric Coomer, a Vice President of Dominion Voting Systems,

testified that even he was not sure of what testing solutions were

available to test problems or how that was done, “ I have got to be

honest, we might be a little bit out of my bounds of understanding the

rules and regulations… and in response to a question on testing for

voting systems problems in relation to issues identified in 2 counties,

he explained that “Your Honor, I’m not sure of the complete test plan…

Again Pro V&V themselves determine what test plan in necessary based

on their analysis of the code itself.” (Id. at Document 959-4, pages 53,

62 L.25- p. 63 L3).

113.

Hursti stated within said Declaration:

“The security risks outlined above – operating system risks, the


failure to harden the computers, performing operations directly on
the operating systems, lax control of memory cards, lack of
procedures, and potential remote access are extreme and destroy the
credibility of the tabulations and output of the reports coming from a
voting system.”

(See Paragraph 49 of Hursti Declaration).

114.

Rather than engaging in an open and transparent process to give

credibility to Georgia’s brand-new voting system, the election processes were


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 56 of 104

hidden during the receipt, review, opening, and tabulation of those votes in

direct contravention of Georgia’s Election Code and federal law.

115.

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 2722 in an attempt to

address these very risks identified by Hursti, on June 27, 2019:

This bill addresses election security through grant programs and


requirements for voting systems and paper ballots.

The bill establishes requirements for voting systems, including that


systems (1) use individual, durable, voter-verified paper ballots; (2)
make a voter's marked ballot available for inspection and verification
by the voter before the vote is cast; (3) ensure that individuals with
disabilities are given an equivalent opportunity to vote, including
with privacy and independence, in a manner that produces a voter-
verified paper ballot; (4) be manufactured in the United States; and
(5) meet specified cybersecurity requirements, including the
prohibition of the connection of a voting system to the internet.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC FRAUD

116.

On November 4, 2020, the Georgia GOP Chairman issued the following

statement:

“Let me repeat. Fulton County elections officials told the media and
our observers that they were shutting down the tabulation center at
State Farm Arena at 10:30 p.m. on election night to continue counting
ballots in secret until 1:00 a.m. 30
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 57 of 104

117.

It was widely reported that "As of 7 p.m. on Wednesday Fulton County

Elections officials said 30,000 absentee ballots were not processed due to a

pipe burst.” 31 Officials reassured voters that none of the ballots were

damaged and the water was quickly cleaned up. But the emergency delayed

officials from processing ballots between 5:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Officials say

they continued to count beginning at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. The statement

from Fulton County continues:

"Tonight, Fulton County will report results for approximately 86,000


absentee ballots, as well as Election Day and Early Voting results.
These represent the vast majority of ballots cast within Fulton
County.

"As planned, Fulton County will continue to tabulate the remainder


of absentee ballots over the next two days. Absentee ballot processing
requires that each ballot is opened, signatures verified, and ballots
scanned. This is a labor-intensive process that takes longer to
tabulate than other forms of voting. Fulton County did not anticipate
having all absentee ballots processed on Election Day." Officials said
they will work to ensure every vote is counted and all laws and
regulations are followed.32
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 58 of 104

118.

Plaintiffs have learned that the representation about “a water leak

affecting the room where absentee ballots were counted” was not true. The

only water leak that needed repairs at State Farm Arena from November 3 –

November 5 was a toilet overflow that occurred earlier on November 3. It

had nothing to do with a room with ballot counting, but the false water break

representation led to “everyone being sent home.” Nonetheless, first six (6)

people, then three (3) people stayed until 1:05 a.m. working on the

computers.

119.

An Affiant recounts how she was present at State Farm Arena on

November 3, and saw election workers remaining behind after people were

told to leave. (See Exh. 28, Affidavit of Mitchell Harrison; Exh. 29, Affid. of

Michelle Branton)

120.

Plaintiffs have also learned through several reports that in 2010 Eric

Coomer joined Dominion as Vice President of U.S. Engineering. According to

his bio, Coomer graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a

Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. Eric Coomer was later promoted to Voting Systems

Officer of Strategy and Security although Coomer has since been removed

from the Dominion page of directors. Dominion altered its website after
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 59 of 104

Colorado resident Joe Oltmann disclosed that as a reporter he infiltrated

ANTIFA, a domestic terrorist organization where he recorded Eric Coomer

representing: “Don’t worry. Trump won’t win the election, we fixed that.” – as

well as social media posts with violence threatened against President Trump.

(See Joe Oltmann interview with Michelle Malkin dated November 13, 2020

which contains copies of Eric Coomer’s recording and tweets). 33

121.

While the bedrock of American elections has been transparency, almost

every crucial aspect of Georgia’s November 3, 2020, General Election was

shrouded in secrecy, rife with “errors,” and permeated with anomalies so

egregious as to render the results incapable of certification.

MULTIPLE EXPERT REPORTS AND STATISTICAL


ANALYSES PROVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VOTES
WERE LOST OR SHIFTED THAT COST PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES OF
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS 6 AND 7 THEIR RACES.

122.

As evidenced by numerous public reports, expert reports, and witness

statements, Defendants egregious misconduct has included ignoring

legislative mandates concerning mail-in and ordinary ballots and led to


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 60 of 104

disenfranchisement of an enormous number of Georgia voters. Plaintiffs

experts can show that, consistent with the above specific misrepresentations,

analysis of voting data reveals the following:

(a) Regarding uncounted mail ballots, based on evidence

gathered by Matt Braynard in the form of recorded calls and

declarations of voters, and analyzed by Plaintiff’s expert, Williams M.

Briggs, PhD, shows, based on a statistically significant sample, that

the total number of mail ballots that voters mailed in, but were

never counted, have a 95% likelihood of falling between 31,559

and 38,886 total lost votes. This range exceeds the margin of loss of

President Trump of 12,670 votes by at least 18,889 lost votes and by as

many as 26,196 lost votes. (See Exh. 1, Dr. Briggs’ Report, with

attachments).

(b) Plaintiff’s expert also finds that voters received tens of

thousands of ballots that they never requested. (See Exh. 1).

Specifically, Dr. Briggs found that in the state of Georgia, based on a

statistically significant sample, the expected amount of persons that

received an absentee ballot that they did not request ranges from

16,938 to 22,771. This range exceeds the margin of loss of


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 61 of 104

President Trump by 12,670 votes by at least 4,268 unlawful

requests and by as many as 10,101 unlawful requests. Id.

(c) This widespread pattern, as reflected within the population

of unreturned ballots analyzed by Dr. Briggs, reveals the unavoidable

reality that, in addition to the calculations herein, third parties voted

an untold number of unlawfully acquired absentee or mail-in ballots,

which would not be in the database of unreturned ballots analyzed

here. See O.G.C.A. 21-2-522. These unlawfully voted ballots

prohibited properly registered persons from voting and reveal

a pattern of widespread fraud down ballot as well.

(d) Further, as calculated by Matt Braynard, there exists

clear evidence of 20,311 absentee or early voters in Georgia that

voted while registered as having moved out of state. (See Id.,

attachment to report). Specifically, these persons were showing on the

National Change of Address Database (NCOA) as having moved, or as

having filed subsequent voter registration in another state also as

evidence that they moved and even potentially voted in another state.

The 20,311 votes by persons documented as having moved exceeds the

margin by which Donald Trump lost the election by 7,641 votes.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 62 of 104

(e) Applying pro-rata the above calculations separately to Cobb

County based on the number of unreturned ballots, a range of 1,255

and 1,687 ballots ordered by 3rd parties and a range of 2,338 and 2,897

lost mail ballots, plus 10,684 voters documented in the NCOA as

having moved, for a combined minimum of 14,276 missing and

unlawful ballots, and maximum of 15,250 missing and unlawful

ballots, which exceeds the statewide Presidential race total

margin by a range of as few as 1,606 ballots and as many as

2,580 in the County of Cobb alone impacting the Cobb County

Republican Party (“Cobb County Republicans”).

123.

As seen from the expert analysis of Eric Quinnell, mathematical

anomalies further support these findings, when in various districts within

Fulton County such as vote gains that exceed reasonable expectations

when compared to 2016, and a failure of gains to be normally distributed

but instead shifting substantially toward the tail of the distribution in

what is known as a platykurtic distribution. Dr. Quinell identifies

numerous anomalies such as votes to Biden in excess of 2016 exceed the

registrations that are in excess of 2016. Ultimately, he identifies the

counties in order of their excess performance over what would have fit in a
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 63 of 104

normal distribution of voting gains, revealing a list of the most anomalous

counties down to the least. These various anomalies provide evidence of

voting irregularities. (See Exh.27, Declaration of Eric Quinnell, with

attachments).

124.

In sum, with the expert analysis of William M. Briggs PhD based on

recorded calls and declarations, the extent of missing AND unlawfully

requested ballots create substantial evidence that the mail ballot system has

fundamentally failed to provide a fair voting mechanism. In short, tens of

thousands of votes did not count while the pattern of fraud makes clear that

tens of thousands were improperly counted. This margin of victory in the

election for Mr. Biden was only 12,670 and cannot withstand most of these

criticisms individually and certainly not in aggregate.

125.

Cobb county, based on lost votes, unlawfully requested votes and

NCOA data on these facts alone would consume more than the entire margin

of the statewide difference in the Presidential race. These election results

must be reversed.

126.

Applying pro-rata the above calculations separately to Cobb County

based on the number of unreturned ballots, a range of 1,255 and 1,687 ballots
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 64 of 104

ordered by 3rd parties and a range of 2,338 and 2,897 lost mail ballots, plus

10,684 voters documented in the NCOA as having moved, for a combined

minimum of 14,276 missing and unlawful ballots, and maximum of

15,250 missing and unlawful ballots, which exceeds the statewide

Presidential race total margin by a range of as few as 1,606 ballots

and as many as 2,580 in the County of Cobb alone impacting the

Cobb County Republican Party (“Cobb County Republicans”). (See

Exh. 1).

127.

Mr. Braynard also found a pattern in Georgia of voters registered at

totally fraudulent residence addresses, including shopping centers, mail drop

stores and other non-residential facilities 34.

128.

In sum, with the expert analysis of William M. Briggs PhD based on

extensive investigation, recorded calls and declarations collected by Matt

Braynard, (See attachments to Exh. 1, Briggs’ report) the extent of missing

and unlawfully requested ballots create substantial evidence that the mail

ballot system has fundamentally failed to provide a fair voting mechanism. In


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 65 of 104

short, tens of thousands of votes did not count while the pattern of fraud and

mathematical anomalies that are impossible absent malign human agency

makes clear that tens of thousands were improperly counted. This margin of

victory in the election for Mr. Biden was only 12,670 and cannot withstand

most of these criticisms individually and certainly not in aggregate.

129.

Cobb county, based on lost votes, unlawfully requested votes and

NCOA data on these facts alone would consume more than the entire margin

of the statewide difference in the Presidential race.

130.

Russell Ramsland confirms that data breaches in the Dominion

software permitted rogue actors to penetrate and manipulate the

software during the recent general election. He further concludes

that at least 96,600 mail-in ballots were illegally counted as they

were not cast by legal voters.

131.

In sum, as set forth above, for a host of independent reasons, the

Georgia certified election results concluding that Joe Biden received 12,670

more votes that President Donald Trump must be set aside.

COUNT I

D E F E N D A N T S VIOLATED T H E E L E C T I O N S C L A U S E A N D 42 U.S.C. §
1983

132.

Plaintiffs reallege all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

133.

The Electors Clause states that “[e]ach State shall appoint, in such

Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors” for

President. Art. II, § 1, cl. 2 (emphasis added). Likewise, the Elections Clause

of the U.S. Constitution states that “[t]he Times, Places, and Manner of

holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in

each State by the Legislature thereof.” Art. I, § 4, cl. 1 (emphasis added).

134.

The Legislature is “‘the representative body which ma[kes] the laws of

the people.’” Smiley, 285 U.S. at 193. Regulations of congressional and

presidential elections, thus, “must be in accordance with the method which

the state has prescribed for legislative enactments.” Id. at 367; see also Ariz.

State Legislature v. Ariz. Indep. Redistricting Comm’n, 135 S. Ct. 2652, 2668

(2015).
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 67 of 104

135.

Defendants are not part of the General Assembly and cannot exercise

legislative power. Rather, Defendants’ power is limited to “tak[ing] care that

the laws be faithfully executed.” Pa. Const. Art. IV, § 2. Because the United

States Constitution reserves for the General Assembly the power to set the

time, place, and manner of holding elections for the President and Congress,

county boards of elections and state executive officers have no authority to

unilaterally exercise that power, much less to hold them in ways that conflict

with existing legislation.

136.

Defendants are not the legislature, and their unilateral decision to

create a “cure procedure” violates the Electors and Elections Clauses of the

United States Constitution.

137.

The Secretary of State and the State Election Board are not the

legislature, and their decision to permit early processing of absentee ballots

in direct violation of the unambiguous requirements of O.C.G.A. § 21-2-

386(a)(2) violates the Electors and Elections Clauses of the United States

Constitution.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 68 of 104

138.

Many Affiants testified to many legal infractions in the voting process,

including specifically switching absentee ballots or mail-in ballots for Trump

to Biden. Even a Democrat testified in his sworn affidavit that before he was

forced to move back to where he could not see, he had in fact seen, “I also saw

absentee ballots for Trump inserted into Biden’s stack, and counted as Biden

votes. This occurred a few times”. (See Exh. 18, Par. 12).

139.

Plaintiff’s expert also finds that voters received tens of thousands of

ballots that they never requested. (See Exh. 1, Dr. Briggs’ Report).

Specifically, Dr. Briggs found that in the state of Georgia, based on a

statistically significant sample, the expected amount of persons that received

an absentee ballot that they did not request one ranges from 16,938 to

22,771. This range exceeds the margin of loss of President Trump by 12,670

votes by at least 4,268 unlawful requests and by as many as 10,101 unlawful

requests.

140.

This widespread pattern, as reflected within the population of

unreturned ballots analyzed by Dr. Briggs, reveals the unavoidable reality

that, in addition to the calculations herein, third parties voted an untold

number of unlawfully acquired absentee or mail-in ballots, which would not


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 69 of 104

be in the database of unreturned ballots analyzed here. See O.G.C.A. 21-2-

522. These unlawfully voted ballots prohibited properly registered persons

from voting and reveal a pattern of widespread fraud.

141.

Further, as shown by data collected by Matt Braynard, there exists

clear evidence of 20,311 absentee or early voters in Georgia that voted while

registered as having moved out of state. Specifically, these persons were

showing on the National Change of Address Database (NCOA) as having

moved, or as having filed subsequent voter registration in another state also

as evidence that they moved and even potentially voted in another state. The

20,311 votes by persons documented as having moved exceeds the margin by

which Donald Trump lost the election by 7,641 votes.

142.

Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law and will suffer serious and

irreparable harm unless the injunctive relief requested herein is granted.

Defendants have acted and, unless enjoined, will act under color of state law

to violate the Elections Clauses of the Constitution. Accordingly, the results

for President and Congress in the November 3, 2020 election must be set

aside. The results are infected with Constitutional violations.

DENIAL OF EQUAL PROTECTION

INVALID ENACTMENT OF REGULATIONS AFFECTING


OBSERVATION AND MONITORING OF THE ELECTION

143.

Plaintiffs refer to and incorporate by reference each of the prior

paragraphs of this Complaint as though the same were repeated at length

herein.

144.

The Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides

“nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without

due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal

protection of the laws. See also Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 104 (2000)(having

once granted the right to vote on equal terms, the State may not, by later

arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one person’s vote over the value of

another’s). Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, 383 U.S. 663, 665 (1966)

(“Once the franchise is granted to the electorate, lines may not be drawn

which are inconsistent with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth

Amendment.”).
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 71 of 104

145.

The Court has held that to ensure equal protection, a “problem inheres

in the absence of specific standards to ensure its equal application. The

formulation of uniform rules to determine intent based on these recurring

circumstances is practicable and, we conclude, necessary.” Bush v. Gore, 531

U.S. 98, 106, 121 S. Ct. 525, 530, 148 L. Ed. 2d 388 (2000).

146.

The equal enforcement of election laws is necessary to preserve our

most basic and fundamental rights. The requirement of equal protection is

particularly stringently enforced as to laws that affect the exercise of

fundamental rights, including the right to vote.

147.

In statewide and federal elections conducted in the State of Georgia,

including without limitation the November 3, 2020, General Election, all

candidates, political parties, and voters, including without limitation

Plaintiffs, have a vested interest in being present and having meaningful

access to observe and monitor the electoral process in each County to ensure

that it is properly administered in every election district and otherwise free,

fair, and transparent.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 72 of 104

148.

Moreover, through its provisions involving watchers and

representatives, the Georgia Election Code ensures that all candidates and

political parties in each County, including the Trump Campaign, have

meaningful access to observe and monitor the electoral process to ensure that

it is properly administered in every election district and otherwise free, fair,

and transparent. See, e.g. In plain terms, the statute clearly prohibits

opening absentee ballots prior to election day, while the rule authorizes doing

so three weeks before election day. There is no reconciling this conflict. The

State Election Board has authority under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-31 to adopt lawful

and legal rules and regulations, but no authority to promulgate a regulation

that is directly contrary to an unambiguous statute. Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 is

therefore plainly and indisputably unlawful.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 73 of 104

Plaintiffs also bring this action under Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-522,

Grounds for Contest:

149.

A result of a primary or election may be contested on one or more of the

following grounds:

150.

(1) Misconduct, fraud, or irregularity by any primary or election official or

officials sufficient to change or place in doubt the result;

(2) When the defendant is ineligible for the nomination or office in dispute;

(3) When illegal votes have been received or legal votes rejected at the polls

sufficient to change or place in doubt the result;

(4) For any error in counting the votes or declaring the result of the

primary or election, if such error would change the result; or

(5) For any other cause which shows that another was the person legally

nominated, elected, or eligible to compete in a run-off primary or election.

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-522.

151.

Several affiants testified to the improper procedures with absentee

ballots processing, with the lack of auditable procedures with the logs in the

computer systems, which violates Georgia law, and federal election law. See
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 74 of 104

also, 50 U.S.C. § 20701 requires the retention and preservation of records and

papers by officers of elections under penalty of fine and imprisonment.

152.

The State Election Board re-adopted Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 on

November 23, 2020 for the upcoming January 2021 runoff election.

153.

A large number of ballots were identical and likely fraudulent. An

Affiant explains that she observed a batch of utterly pristine ballots:

14. Most of the ballots had already been handled; they had been
written on by people, and the edges were worn. They showed obvious
use. However, one batch stood out. It was pristine. There was a
difference in the texture of the paper - it was if they were intended
for absentee use but had not been used for that purposes. There was
a difference in the feel.

15. These different ballots included a slight depressed pre-fold so


they could be easily folded and unfolded for use in the scanning
machines. There were no markings on the ballots to show where they
had com~ from, or where they had been processed. These stood out.

16. In my 20 years of experience of handling ballots, I observed that


the markings for the candidates on these ballots were unusually
uniform, perhaps even with a ballot-marking device. By my estimate
in observing these ballots, approximately 98% constituted votes for
Joe Biden. I only observed two of these ballots as votes for President
Donald J. Trump.” (See Exh. 15).

154.

The same Affiant further testified specifically to the breach of the chain

of custody of the voting machines the night before the election stating:
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 75 of 104

we typically receive the machines, the ballot marking devices – on


the Friday before the election, with a chain of custody letter to be
signed on Sunday, indicating that we had received the machines and
the counts on the machines when received, and that the machines
have been sealed. In this case, we were asked to sign the chain
of custody letter on Sunday, even though the machines were
not delivered until 2:00 AM in the morning on Election Day.
The Milton precinct received its machines at 1:00 AM in the morning
on Election Day. This is unacceptable and voting machines should
[not] be out of custody prior to an Election Day. Id.

155.

Defendants have a duty to treat the voting citizens in each County in

the same manner as the citizens in other counties in Georgia.

156.

As set forth in Count I above, Defendants failed to comply with the

requirements of the Georgia Election Code and thereby diluted the lawful

ballots of the Plaintiffs and of other Georgia voters and electors in violation of

the United States Constitution guarantee of Equal Protection.

157.

Specifically, Defendants denied the plaintiffs equal protection of the

law and their equal rights to meaningful access to observe and monitor the

electoral process enjoyed by citizens in other Georgia Counties by:

(a) mandating that representatives at the pre-canvass and


canvass of all absentee and mail-ballots be either Georgia barred
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 76 of 104

attorneys or qualified registered electors of the county in which


they sought to observe and monitor;
(b) not allowing watchers and representatives to visibly see and
review all envelopes containing official absentee and mail-in
ballots either at or before they were opened and/or when such
ballots were counted and recorded; and
(c) allowing the use of Dominion Democracy Suite software and
devices, which failed to meet the Dominion Certification Report’s
conditions for certification.
158.

Instead, Defendants refused to credential all of the Trump Republican’s

submitted watchers and representatives and/or kept Trump Campaign’s

watchers and representatives by security and metal barricades from the

areas where the inspection, opening, and counting of absentee and mail-in

ballots were taking place. Consequently, Defendants created a system

whereby it was physically impossible for the candidates and political parties

to view the ballots and verify that illegally cast ballots were not opened and

counted

159.

Many Affiants testified to switching absentee ballots or mail-in ballots

for Trump to Biden, including a Democrat. He testified in his sworn

affidavit, that before he was forced to move back to where he could not see, he
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 77 of 104

had in fact seen, “absentee ballots for Trump inserted into Biden’s stack, and

counted as Biden votes. This occurred a few times”. (See Exh. 18, Par. 12).

160.

Other Georgia county boards of elections provided watchers and

representatives of candidates and political parties, including without

limitation watchers and representatives of the Republicans and the Trump

Campaign, with appropriate access to view the absentee and mail-in ballots

being pre-canvassed and canvassed by those county election boards and

without restricting representatives by any county residency or Georgia bar

licensure requirements.

161.

Defendants intentionally and/or arbitrarily and capriciously denied

Plaintiffs access to and/or obstructed actual observation and monitoring of

the absentee and mail-in ballots being pre-canvassed and canvassed by

Defendants, depriving them of the equal protection of those state laws

enjoyed by citizens in other Counties.

162.

Defendants have acted and will continue to act under color of state law

to violate Plaintiffs’ right to be present and have actual observation and

access to the electoral process as secured by the Equal Protection Clause of

the United States Constitution.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 78 of 104

163.

Defendants further violated Georgia voters’ rights to equal protection

insofar as Defendants allowed the Georgia counties to process and count

ballots in a manner that allowed ineligible ballots to be counted, and through

the use of Dominion Democracy Suite, allowed eligible ballots for Trump and

McCormick to be switched to Biden or lost altogether. Defendants thus failed

to conduct the general election in a uniform manner as required by the Equal

Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Georgia Election

Code.

164.

Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief holding that the

election, under these circumstances, was improperly certified and that the

Governor be enjoined from transmitting Georgia’s certified Presidential

election results to the Electoral College. Georgia law forbids certifying a tally

that includes any ballots that were not legally cast, or that were switched

from Trump to Biden, through the unlawful use of Dominion Democracy

Suite software and devices.

165.

Alternatively, Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief holding

that the election, under these circumstances, was improperly certified and

that the Governor be required to recertify the results declaring that Donald
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 79 of 104

Trump has won the election and transmitting Georgia’s certified Presidential

election result in favor of President Trump.

166.

Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law and will suffer serious and

irreparable harm unless the declaratory and injunctive relief requested

herein is granted. Indeed, the setting aside of an election in which the people

have chosen their representative is a drastic remedy that should not be

undertaken lightly, but instead should be reserved for cases in which a

person challenging an election has clearly established a violation of election

procedures and has demonstrated that the violation has placed the result of

the election in doubt. Georgia law allows elections to be contested through

litigation, both as a check on the integrity of the election process and as a

means of ensuring the fundamental right of citizens to vote and to have their

votes counted accurately. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-520 et seq.

167.

In addition to the alternative requests for relief in the preceding

paragraphs, hereby restated, Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction

requiring the County Election Boards to invalidate ballots cast by: 1) voters

whose signatures on their registrations have not been matched with ballot,

envelope and voter registration check; 2) all “dead votes”; and 4) all 900

military ballots in Fulton county that supposedly were 100% for Joe Biden.

Plaintiffs incorporate each of the prior allegations in this Complaint.

Voting is a fundamental right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment

to the United States Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment protects the

right to vote from conduct by state officials which seriously undermines the

fundamental fairness of the electoral process. Marks v. Stinson, 19 F.3d 873,

889 (3d Cir. 1994); Griffin, 570 F.2d at 1077-78. “[H]aving once granted the

right to vote on equal terms, the State may not, by later arbitrary and

disparate treatment, value one person’s vote over that of another.” Bush, 531

U.S. at 104-05.

169.

Defendants are not part of the General Assembly and cannot exercise

legislative power. Rather, Defendants’ power is limited to executing the laws

as passed by the legislature Although the Georgia General Assembly may

enact laws governing the conduct of elections, “no legislative enactment may
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 81 of 104

contravene the requirements of the Georgia or United States Constitutions.”

Shankey, 257 A. 2d at 898.

170.

Federal courts “possess broad discretion to fashion an equitable

remedy.” Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Inc. v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

781 F.3d 1271, 1290 (11th Cir. 2015); Castle v. Sangamo Weston, Inc., 837

F.2d 1550, 1563 (11th Cir. 1988) (“The decision whether to grant equitable

relief, and, if granted, what form it shall take, lies in the discretion of the

district court.”).

171.

Moreover, “[t]o the extent that a voter is at risk for having his or her

ballot rejected due to minor errors made in contravention of those

requirements, … the decision to provide a ‘notice and opportunity to cure’

procedure to alleviate that risk is one best suited for the Legislature[,] . . .

particularly in light of the open policy questions attendant to that decision,

including what the precise contours of the procedure would be, how the

concomitant burdens would be addressed, and how the procedure would

impact the confidentiality and counting of ballots, all of which are best left to

the legislative branch of Georgia's government.” Id.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 82 of 104

172.

The disparate treatment of Georgia voters, in subjecting one class of

voters to greater burdens or scrutiny than another, violates Equal Protection

guarantees because “the right of suffrage can be denied by a debasement or

dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote just as effectively as by wholly

prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise.” Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 555. Rice

v. McAlister, 268 Ore. 125, 128, 519 P.2d 1263, 1265 (1975); Heitman v.

173.

Defendants are not the legislature, and their unilateral decision to

create and implement a cure procedure for some but not all absentee and

mail-in voters in this State violates the Due Process Clause of the United

States Constitution. Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law and will

suffer serious and irreparable harm unless the injunctive relief requested

herein is granted.

DENIAL OF DUE PROCESS ON THE RIGHT TO VOTE

174.

Plaintiffs refer to and incorporate by reference each of the prior

paragraphs of this Complaint as though the same were repeated at length

herein.

175.

The right of qualified citizens to vote in a state election involving

federal candidates is recognized as a fundamental right under the Fourteenth

Amendment of the United States Constitution. Harper, 383 U.S. at See also

Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 554 (The Fourteenth Amendment protects the “the

right of all qualified citizens to vote, in state as well as in federal elections.”).

Indeed, ever since the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873), the United

States Supreme Court has held that the Privileges or Immunities Clause of

the Fourteenth Amendment protects certain rights of federal citizenship from

state interference, including the right of citizens to directly elect members of

Congress. See Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U.S. 78, 97 (1908) (citing Ex parte

Yarbrough, 110 U.S. 651, 663-64 (1884)). See also Oregon v. Mitchell, 400

U.S. 112, 148-49 (1970) (Douglas, J., concurring) (collecting cases).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 84 of 104

176.

The fundamental right to vote protected by the Fourteenth Amendment

is cherished in our nation because it “is preservative of other basic civil and

political rights.” Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 562. Voters have a “right to cast a

ballot in an election free from the taint of intimidation and fraud,” Burson v.

Freeman, 504 U.S. 191, 211 (1992), and “[c]onfidence in the integrity of our

electoral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory

democracy.” Purcell v. Gonzalez, 549 U.S. 1, 4 (2006) (per curiam).

177.

“Obviously included within the right to [vote], secured by the

Constitution, is the right of qualified voters within a state to cast their ballots

and have them counted” if they are validly cast. United States v. Classic, 313

U.S. 299, 315 (1941). “[T]he right to have the vote counted” means counted

“at full value without dilution or discount.” Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 555, n.29

(quoting South v. Peters, 339 U.S. 276, 279 (1950) (Douglas, J., dissenting)).

178.

“Every voter in a federal . . . election, whether he votes for a candidate

with little chance of winning or for one with little chance of losing, has a right

under the Constitution to have his vote fairly counted, without its being

distorted by fraudulently cast votes.” Anderson v. United States, 417 U.S.

211, 227 (1974); see also Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 208 (1962). Invalid or
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 85 of 104

fraudulent votes “debase[]” and “dilute” the weight of each validly cast vote.

See Anderson, 417 U.S. at 227.

179.

The right to an honest [count] is a right possessed by each voting

elector, and to the extent that the importance of his vote is nullified, wholly

or in part, he has been injured in the free exercise of a right or privilege

secured to him by the laws and Constitution of the United States.” Anderson,

417 U.S. at 226 (quoting Prichard v. United States, 181 F.2d 326, 331 (6th

Cir.), aff'd due to absence of quorum, 339 U.S. 974 (1950)).

180.

Practices that promote the casting of illegal or unreliable ballots or fail

to contain basic minimum guarantees against such conduct, can violate the

Fourteenth Amendment by leading to the dilution of validly cast ballots. See

Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 555 (“[T]he right of suffrage can be denied by a

debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote just as effectively as

by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise.”).

181.

In Georgia, the signature verification requirement is a dead letter. The

signature rejection rate for the most recent election announced by the

Secretary of State was 0.15%. The signature rejection rate for absentee ballot

applications was .00167% - only 30 statewide. Hancock County, Georgia,


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 86 of 104

population 8,348, rejected nine absentee ballot applications for signature

mismatch. Fulton County rejected eight. No other metropolitan county in

Georgia rejected even a single absentee ballot application for signature

mismatch. The state of Colorado, which has run voting by mail for a number

of years, has a signature rejection rate of between .52% and .66%. 35 The State

of Oregon had a rejection rate of 0.86% in 2016. 36 The State of Washington

has a rejection rate of between 1% and 2%. 37If Georgia rejected absentee

ballots at a rate of .52% instead of the actual .15%, approximately 4,600 more

absentee ballots would have been rejected.

Plaintiffs contest the results of Georgia’s election, with Standing

conferred under pursuant to O.G.C.A. 21-2-521.

184.

Therefore, pursuant to O.G.C.A. 21-2-522, for misconduct, fraud, or

irregularity by any primary or election official or officials sufficient to change

or place in doubt the result. The foundational principle that Georgia law

“nonetheless allows elections to be contested through litigation, both as a

check on the integrity of the election process and as a means of ensuring the

fundamental right of citizens to vote and to have their votes counted

accurately.” Martin v. Fulton County Bd. of Registration & Elections, 307 Ga.

193, 194, 835 S.E.2d 245, 248 (2019). The Georgia Supreme Court has made

clear that Plaintiffs need not show how the [] voters would have voted if their

[absentee] ballots had been regular. [] only had to show that there were

enough irregular ballots to place in doubt the result.” See OCGA § 21-2-520 et

seq., Mead v. Sheffield, 278 Ga. 268, 272, 601 S.E.2d 99, 102 (1994) the

Supreme Court invalidated an election, and ordered a new election because it

found that,

Thus, [i]t was not incumbent upon [the Plaintiff] to show how the
[481] voters would have voted if their [absentee] ballots had
been regular. He only had to show that there were enough irregular
ballots to place in doubt the result. He succeeded in that task.

Id. at 271 (citing Howell v. Fears, 275 Ga. 627, 571 SE2d 392, (2002) (primary

185.

The "glitches" in the Dominion system—that seem to have the uniform

effect of hurting Trump and helping Biden have been widely reported in the

press and confirmed by the analysis of independent experts.

186.

Prima facie evidence in multiple affidavits shows specific fraudulent

acts, which directly resulted in the flipping of the race at issue:

a) votes being switched in Biden’s favor away from Trump during the

recount;

b) the lack of procedures in place to follow the election code, and the

purchase and use, Dominion Voting System despite evidence of serious

vulnerabilities;

c) a demonstration that misrepresentations were made about a pipe burst

that sent everyone home, while first six, then three, unknown

individuals were left alone until the morning hours working on the

machines;
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 89 of 104

d) further a failure to demonstrate compliance with the Georgia’s Election

Codes, in maintaining logs on the Voting system for a genuine and

sound audit, other than voluntary editable logs that prevent genuine

audits. While the bedrock of this Democratic Republic rests on citizens’

confidence in the validity of our elections and a transparent process,

Georgia’s November 3, 2020 General Election remains under a pall of

corruption and irregularity that reflects a pattern of the absence of

mistake. At best, the evidence so far shows ignorance of the truth; at

worst, it proves a knowing intent to defraud.

187.

Plaintiff’s expert also finds that voters received tens of thousands of

ballots that they never requested. (See Exh. 1, Dr. Briggs’ Report).

Specifically, Dr. Briggs found that in the state of Georgia, based on a

statistically significant sample, the expected amount of persons that received

an absentee ballot that they did not request ranges from 16,938 to

22,771. This range exceeds the margin of loss of President Trump by 12,670

votes by at least 4,268 unlawful requests and by as many as 10,101 unlawful

requests.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 90 of 104

188.

This widespread pattern, as reflected within the population of

unreturned ballots analyzed by Dr. Briggs, reveals the unavoidable reality

that, in addition to the calculations herein, third parties voted an untold

number of unlawfully acquired absentee or mail-in ballots, which would not

be in the database of unreturned ballots analyzed here. See O.G.C.A. 21-2-

522. These unlawfully voted ballots prohibited properly registered persons

from voting and reveal a pattern of widespread fraud.

189.

Further, there exists clear evidence of 20,311 absentee or early voters

in Georgia that voted while registered as having moved out of state.

Specifically, these persons were showing on the National Change of Address

Database (NCOA) as having moved, or as having filed subsequent voter

registration in another state also as evidence that they moved and even

potentially voted in another state. The 20,311 votes by persons documented

as having moved exceeds the margin by which Donald Trump lost the

election by 7,641 votes.

190.

Plaintiffs’’ expert Russell Ramsland concludes that at least 96,600

mail-in ballots were fraudulently cast. He further concludes that up to


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 91 of 104

136,098 ballots were illegally counted as a result of improper manipulation of

the Dominion software. (Ramsland Aff).

191.

The very existence of absentee mail in ballots created a heightened

opportunity for fraud. The population of unreturned ballots analyzed by

William Briggs, PhD, reveals the probability that a far greater number of

mail ballots were requested by 3rd parties or sent erroneously to persons and

voted fraudulently, undetected by a failed system of signature verification.

The recipients may have voted in the name of another person, may have not

had the legal right to vote and voted anyway, or may have not received the

ballot at the proper address and then found that they were unable to vote at

the polls, except provisionally, due to a ballot outstanding in their name.

192.

When we consider the harm of these uncounted votes, and ballots not

ordered by the voters themselves, and the potential that many of these

unordered ballots may in fact have been improperly voted and also prevented

proper voting at the polls, the mail ballot system has clearly failed in the

state of Georgia and did so on a large scale and widespread basis. The size of

the voting failures, whether accidental or intentional, are multiples larger

than the margin of votes between the presidential candidates in the


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 92 of 104

state. For these reasons, Georgia cannot reasonably rely on the results of the

mail vote.

193.

The right to vote includes not just the right to cast a ballot, but also the

right to have it fairly counted if it is legally cast. The right to vote is infringed

if a vote is cancelled or diluted by a fraudulent or illegal vote, including

without limitation when a single person votes multiple times. The Supreme

Court of the United States has made this clear in case after case. See, e.g.,

Gray v. Sanders, 372 U.S. 368, 380 (1963) (every vote must be “protected

from the diluting effect of illegal ballots.”); Crawford v. Marion Cnty. Election

Bd., 553 U.S. 181, 196 (2008) (plurality op. of Stevens, J.) (“There is no

question about the legitimacy or importance of the State’s interest in

counting only the votes of eligible voters.”); accord Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S.

533, 554-55 & n.29 (1964).

194.

Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law. As seen from the expert

analysis of William Higgs, PhD, based on actual voter data, tens of thousands

of votes did not count, and tens of thousands of votes were unlawfully

requested.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 93 of 104

195.

The Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause protects the right to

vote from conduct by state officials which seriously undermines the

fundamental fairness of the electoral process. Marks v. Stinson, 19 F.3d 873,

889 (3d Cir. 1994); Griffin v. Burns, 570 F.2d 1065, 1077-78 (1st Cir. 1978).

196.

Separate from the Equal Protection Clause, the Fourteenth

Amendment’s due process clause protects the fundamental right to vote

against “the disenfranchisement of a state electorate.” Duncan v. Poythress,

657 F.2d 691, 702 (5th Cir. 1981). “When an election process ‘reaches the

point of patent and fundamental unfairness,’ there is a due process

violation.” Florida State Conference of N.A.A.C.P. v. Browning, 522 F.3d

1153, 1183-84 (11th Cir. 2008) (quoting Roe v. Alabama, 43 F.3d 574, 580

(11th Cir.1995) (citing Curry v. Baker, 802 F.2d 1302, 1315 (11th Cir.1986))).

See also Griffin, 570 F.2d at 1077 (“If the election process itself reaches the

point of patent and fundamental unfairness, a violation of the due process

clause may be indicated and relief under § 1983 therefore in order.”); Marks

v. Stinson, 19 F.3d 873, 889 (3d Cir. 1994) (enjoining winning state senate

candidate from exercising official authority where absentee ballots were

obtained and cast illegally).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 94 of 104

197.

Part of courts’ justification for such a ruling is the Supreme Court’s

recognition that the right to vote and to free and fair elections is one that is

preservative of other basic civil and political rights. See Black, 209 F.Supp.2d

at 900 (quoting Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 561-62 (“since the right to exercise the

franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil

and political rights, any alleged infringement of the right of citizens to vote

must be carefully and meticulously scrutinized.”)); see also Yick Wo v.

Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 370 (1886) (“the political franchise of voting … is

regarded as a fundamental political right, because [sic] preservative of all

rights.”).

198.

“[T]he right to vote, the right to have one’s vote counted, and the right

to have ones vote given equal weight are basic and fundamental

constitutional rights incorporated in the due process clause of the Fourteenth

Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.” Black, 209 F. Supp. 2d

at 900 (a state law that allows local election officials to impose different

voting schemes upon some portions of the electorate and not others violates

due process). “Just as the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth

Amendment prohibits state officials from improperly diluting the right to

vote, the due process clause of the Fourteenth amendment forbids state
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 95 of 104

officials from unlawfully eliminating that fundamental right.” Duncan, 657

F.2d at 704. “Having once granted the right to vote on equal terms,

[Defendants] may not, by later arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one

person's vote over that of another.” Bush, 531 U.S. at 104-05.

199.

In statewide and federal elections conducted in the State of Georgia,

including without limitation the November 3, 2020 General Election, all

candidates, political parties, and voters, including without limitation

Plaintiffs, have a vested interest in being present and having meaningful

access to observe and monitor the electoral process to ensure that it is

properly administered in every election district and otherwise free, fair, and

transparent.

200.

Moreover, through its provisions involving watchers and

representatives, the Georgia Election Code ensures that all candidates and

political parties, including without limitation Plaintiff, Republicans, and the

Trump Campaign, shall be “present” and have meaningful access to observe

and monitor the electoral process to ensure that it is properly administered in

every election district and otherwise free, fair, and transparent.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 96 of 104

201.

Defendants have a duty to guard against deprivation of the right to

vote through the dilution of validly cast ballots by ballot fraud or election

tampering. Rather than heeding these mandates and duties, Defendants

arbitrarily and capriciously denied the Trump Campaign and Republicans

meaningful access to observe and monitor the electoral process by: (a)

mandating that representatives at the pre- canvass and canvass of all

absentee and mail-ballots be either Georgia barred attorneys or qualified

registered electors of the county in which they sought to observe and monitor;

and (b) not allowing watchers and representatives to visibly see and review

all envelopes containing official absentee and mail-in ballots either at the

time or before they were opened and/or when such ballots were counted and

recorded. Instead, Defendants refused to credential all of the Trump

Campaign’s submitted watchers and representatives and/or kept Trump

Campaign’s watchers and representatives by security and metal barricades

from the areas where the inspection, opening, and counting of absentee and

mail-in ballots were taking place. The lack of meaningful access with actual

access to see the ballots invited further fraud and cast doubt of the validity of

the proceedings.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 97 of 104

202.

Consequently, Defendants created a system whereby it was physically

impossible for the candidates and political parties to view the ballots and

verify that illegally cast ballots were not opened and counted.

203.

Defendants intentionally and/or arbitrarily and capriciously denied Plaintiffs

access to and/or obstructed actual observation and monitoring of the absentee

and mail-in ballots being pre-canvassed and canvassed by Defendants, and

included the unlawfully not counting and including uncounted mail ballots,

and that they failed to follow absentee ballot requirements when thousands

of voters received ballots that they never requested. Defendants have

acted and will continue to act under color of state law to violate the right to

vote and due process as secured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United

States Constitution.

204.

Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law and will suffer serious and

irreparable harm unless the injunctive relief requested herein is granted.

205.

When we consider the harm of these uncounted votes, and ballots not

ordered by the voters themselves, and the potential that many of these
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 98 of 104

unordered ballots may in fact have been improperly voted and also prevented

proper voting at the polls, the mail ballot system has clearly failed in the

state of Georgia and did so on a large scale and widespread basis. The size of

the voting failures, whether accidental or intentional, are multiples larger

than the margin in the state. For these reasons, Georgia cannot reasonably

rely on the results of the mail vote.

206.

Relief sought is the elimination of the mail ballots from counting in the

2020 election. Alternatively, the Presidential electors for the state of Georgia

should be disqualified from counting toward the 2020 election.

207.

The United States Code (3 U.S.C. 5) provides that,

“[i]f any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day
fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination
of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or
any of the electors of such State, by judicial or other methods or
procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least
six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such
determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day,
and made at least six days prior to said time of meeting of the
electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the
electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter
regulated, so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by
such State is concerned.

3 USCS § 5.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 99 of 104

REQUEST FOR RELIEF

208.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs seek an emergency order instructing

Defendants to de-certify the results of the General Election for the Office of

President.

209.

In the alternative, Plaintiffs seek an emergency order prohibiting

Defendants from including in any certified results from the General Election

the tabulation of absentee and mailing ballots which do not comply with the

Election Code, including, without limitation, the tabulation of absentee and

mail-in ballots Trump Campaign’s watchers were prevented from observing

or based on the tabulation of invalidly cast absentee and mail-in ballots

which (i) lack a secrecy envelope, or contain on that envelope any text, mark,

or symbol which reveals the elector’s identity, political affiliation, or

candidate preference, (ii) do not include on the outside envelope a completed

declaration that is dated and signed by the elector, or (iii) are delivered in-

person by third parties for non-disabled voters.

210.

When we consider the harm of these uncounted votes, and ballots not

ordered by the voters themselves, and the potential that many of these

unordered ballots may in fact have been improperly voted and also prevented
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 100 of 104

proper voting at the polls, the mail ballot system has clearly failed in the

state of Georgia and did so on a large scale and widespread basis. The size of

the voting failures, whether accidental or intentional, are multiples larger

than the margin in the state. For these reasons, Georgia cannot reasonably

rely on the results of the mail vote. Relief sought is the elimination of the

mail ballots from counting in the 2020 election. Alternatively, the electors for

the state of Georgia should be disqualified from counting toward the 2020

election. Alternatively, the electors of the State of Georgia should be directed

to vote for President Donald Trump.

211.

For these reasons, Plaintiff asks this Court to enter a judgment in

their favor and provide the following emergency relief:

1. An order directing Governor Kemp, Secretary Raffensperger and the

Georgia State Board of Elections to de-certify the election results;

2. An order enjoining Governor Kemp from transmitting the currently

certified election results to the Electoral College;

3. An order requiring Governor Kemp to transmit certified election

results that state that President Donald Trump is the winner of the

election;
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 101 of 104

4. An immediate order to impound all the voting machines and

software in Georgia for expert inspection by the Plaintiffs.

5. An order that no votes received or tabulated by machines that were

not certified as required by federal and state law be counted.

6. A declaratory judgment declaring that Georgia Secretary of State

Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 violates the Electors and Elections Clause,

U.S. CONST. art. I, § 4;

7. A declaratory judgment declaring that Georgia’s failed system of

signature verification violates the Electors and Elections Clause by

working a de facto abolition of the signature verification

requirement;

8. A declaratory judgment declaring that current certified election

results violates the Due Process Clause, U.S. CONST. Amend. XIV;

9. A declaratory judgment declaring that mail-in and absentee ballot

fraud must be remedied with a Full Manual Recount or statistically

valid sampling that properly verifies the signatures on absentee

ballot envelopes and that invalidates the certified results if the

recount or sampling analysis shows a sufficient number of ineligible

absentee ballots were counted;


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 102 of 104

10. An emergency declaratory judgment that voting machines be

Seized and Impounded immediately for a forensic audit—by

plaintiffs’ expects;

11. A declaratory judgment declaring absentee ballot fraud occurred

in violation of Constitutional rights, Election laws and under state

law;

12. A permanent injunction prohibiting the Governor and Secretary

of State from transmitting the currently certified results to the

Electoral College based on the overwhelming evidence of election

tampering;

13. Immediate production of 36 hours of security camera recording of

all rooms used in the voting process at State Farm Arena in Fulton

County, GA from 12:00am to 3:00am until 6:00pm on November 3.

14. Plaintiffs further request the Court grant such other relief as is

just and proper, including but not limited to, the costs of this action

and their reasonable attorney fees and expenses pursuant to 42

U.S.C. 1988.

Respectfully submitted, this 25th day of November, 2020.

An Analysis of Surveys Regarding Absentee Ballots Across Several States


William M. Briggs
November 23, 2020

1 Summary
Survey data was collected from individuals in several states, sampling those who the states listed as not returning absentee
ballots. The data was provided by Matt Braynard.
The survey asked respondents whether they (a) had ever requested an absentee ballot, and, if so, (b) whether they had
in fact returned this ballot. From this sample I produce predictions of the total numbers of: Error #1, those who were
recorded as receiving absentee ballots without requesting them; and Error #2, those who returned absentee ballots but
whose votes went missing (i.e. marked as unreturned).
The sizes of both errors were large in each state. The states were Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona where
ballots were across parties. Pennsylvania data was for Republicans only.

2 Analysis Description
Each analysis was carried out separately for each state. The analysis used (a) the number of absentee ballots recorded as
unreturned, (b) the total responding to the survey, (c) the total of those saying they did not request a ballot, (d) the total
of those saying they did request a ballot, and of these (e) the number saying they returned their ballots. I assume survery
respondents are representative and the data is accurate.
From these data a simple parameter-free predictive model was used to calculate the probability of all possible outcomes.
Pictures of these probabilities were derived, and the 95% prediction interval of the relevant numbers was calculated. The
pictures appear in the Appendix at the end. They are summarized here with their 95% prediction intervals.
Error #1: being recorded as sent an absentee ballot without requesting one.
Error #2: sending back an absentee ballot and having it recorded as not returned.
State Unreturned ballots Error #1 Error #2
Georgia 138,029 16,938–22,771 31,559–38,866
Michigan 139,190 29,611–36,529 27,928–34,710
Pennsylvania⇤ 165,412 32,414–37,444 26,954–31,643
Wisconsin 96,771 16,316–19,273 13,991–16,757
Arizona 518,560 208,333–229,937 78,714–94,975

Number for Pennsylvania represent Republican ballots only.
Ballots that were not requested, and ballots returned and marked as not returned were classed as troublesome. The
estimated average number of troublesome ballots for each state were then calculated using the table above and are presented
next.
State Unreturned ballots Estimated average Percent
troublesome ballots
Georgia 138,029 53,489 39%
Michigan 139,190 62,517 45%
Pennsylvania⇤ 165,412 61,780 37%
Wisconsin 96,771 29,594 31%
Arizona 518,560 303,305 58%

Number for Pennsylvania represent Republican ballots only.

3 Conclusion
There are clearly a large number of troublesome ballots in each state investigated. Ballots marked as not returned that were
never requested are clearly an error of some kind. The error is not small as a percent of the total recorded unreturned ballots.

1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 3 of 33
Ballots sent back and unrecorded is a separate error. These represent votes that have gone missing, a serious mistake.
The number of these missing ballots is also large in each state.
Survey respondents were not asked if they received an unrequested ballot whether they sent these ballots back. This is
clearly a lively possibility, and represents a third possible source of error, including the potential of voting twice (once by
absentee and once at the polls). No estimates or likelihood can be calculated for this potential error due to absence of data.

William M. Briggs, PhD


Statistician to the Stars!
matt@wmbriggs.com
917-392-0691

1. Experience
(1) 2016: Author of Uncertainty: The Soul of Modeling, Probability & Sta-
tistics, a book which argues for a complete and fundamental change in the
philosophy and practice of probability and statistics. Eliminate hypothesis
testing and estimation, and move to verifiable predictions. This includes
AI and machine learning. Call this The Great Reset, but a good one.
(2) 2004-2016 Adjunct Professor of Statistical Science, Cornell
University, Ithaca, New York
I taught a yearly Masters course to people who (rightfully) hate statistics.
Interests: philosophy of science & probability, epistemology, epidemiology
(ask me about the all-too-common epidemiologist fallacy), Bayesian sta-
tistics, medicine, climatology & meteorology, goodness of forecasts, over-
confidence in science; public understanding of science, limitations of science,
scientism; scholastic metaphysics (as it relates to epistemology).
(3) 1998-present. Statistical consultant, Various companies
Most of my time is spent coaxing people out of their money to tell them
they are too sure of themselves. All manner of analyses cheerfully un-
dertaken. Example: Fraud analysis; I created the Wall Street Journal’s
College Rankings. I consultant regularly at Methodist and other hospitals,
start-ups, start-downs, and with any instition willing to fork it over.
(4) 2003-2010. Research Scientist, New York Methodist Hospital,
New York
Besides the usual, I sit/sat on the Institutional Review Committee to assess
the statistics of proposed research. I was an Associate Editor for Monthly
Weather Review (through 2011). Also a member of the American Meteoro-
logical Society’s Probability and Statistics Committee (through 2011). At
a hospital? Yes, sir; at a hospital. It rains there, too, you know.
(5) Fall 2007, Fall 2010 Visiting Professor of Statistics, Depart-
ment of Mathematics, Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleas-
ant, MI
Who doesn’t love a visit from a statistician? Ask me about the di↵erence
between “a degree” and “an education.”
(6) 2003-2007, Assistant Professor Statistics, Weill Medical Col-
lege of Cornell University, New York, New York
Working here gave me a sincere appreciation of the influences of government
money; grants galore.
(7) 2002-2003. Gotham Risk Management, New York
A start-up then, after Enron’s shenanigans, a start-down. We set future
weather derivative and weather insurance contract prices that incorporated
information from medium- and long-range weather and climate forecasts.
(8) 1998-2002. DoubleClick, New York
Lead statistician. Lot of computer this and thats; enormous datasets.
(9) 1993-1998. Graduate student, Cornell University
1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-1 Filed 11/25/20 Page 22 of 33

Meteorology, applied climatology, and finally statistics. Was Vice Chair of


the graduate student government; probably elected thanks to a miracle.
(10) 1992-1993. National Weather Service, Sault Ste. Marie, MI
Forecast storms o’ the day and launched enormous balloons in the name of
Science. My proudest moment came when I was able to convince an ancient
IBM-AT machine to talk to an analog, 110 baud, phone-coupled modem,
all using BASIC!
(11) 1989-1992. Undergraduate student, Central Michigan Univer-
sity
Meteorology and mathematics. Started the local student meteorology group
to chase tornadoes. Who knew Michigan had so few? Spent a summer at
U Michigan playing with a (science-fiction-sounding) lidar.
(12) 1983-1989. United States Air Force
Cryptography and other secret stu↵. Shot things; learned pinochle. I
adopted and became proficient with a fascinating and versatile vocabulary.
Irritate me for examples. TS/SCI, etc. security clearance (now inactive).

DECLARATION OF

I, , hereby state the following:

1.

2. I am an adult of sound mine. All statements in this declaration are based


on my personal knowledge and are true and correct.

3. I am making this statement voluntarily and on my own initiative. I have


not been promised, nor do I expect to receive, anything in exchange for my
testimony and giving this statement. I have no expectation of any profit
or reward and understand that there are those who may seek to harm me
for what I say in this statement. I have not participated in any political
process in the United States, have not supported any candidate for office
in the United States, am not legally permitted to vote in the United
States, and have never attempted to vote in the United States.

4. I want to alert the public and let the world know the truth about the
corruption, manipulation, and lies being committed by a conspiracy of
people and companies intent upon betraying the honest people of the
United States and their legally constituted institutions and fundamental
rights as citizens. This conspiracy began more than a decade ago in
Venezuela and has spread to countries all over the world. It is a conspiracy
to wrongfully gain and keep power and wealth. It involves political
leaders, powerful companies, and other persons whose purpose is to gain
and keep power by changing the free will of the people and subverting the
proper course of governing.

5.
Over the course of my career, I
specialized in the marines

6. Due to my training in special operations and my extensive military and


academic formations, I was selected for the national security guard detail
of the President of Venezuela.

sophisticated electronic voting system that permitted the leaders of the


Venezuelan government to manipulate the tabulation of votes for national
and local elections and select the winner of those elections in order to gain
and maintain their power.

10. Importantly, I was a direct witness to the creation and operation of an


electronic voting system in a conspiracy between a company known as
Smartmatic and the leaders of conspiracy with the Venezuelan
government. This conspiracy specifically involved President Hugo Chavez
Frias, the person in charge of the National Electoral Council named Jorge
Rodriguez, and principals, representatives, and personnel from
Smartmatic which included . The
purpose of this conspiracy was to create and operate a voting system that
could change the votes in elections from votes against persons running
the Venezuelan government to votes in their favor in order to maintain
control of the government.

11. In mid-February of 2009, there was a national referendum to change the


Constitution of Venezuela to end term limits for elected officials, including
the President of Venezuela. The referendum passed. This permitted Hugo
Chavez to be re-elected an unlimited number of times.

12. After passage of the referendum, President Chavez instructed me to make


arrangements for him to meet with Jorge Rodriguez, then President of the
National Electoral Council, and three executives from Smartmatic.
Among the three Smartmatic representatives were

President Chavez had multiple meetings with Rodriguez


and the Smartmatic team at which I was present. In the first of four
meetings, Jorge Rodriguez promoted the idea to create software that
would manipulate elections. Chavez was very excited and made it clear
that he would provide whatever Smartmatic needed. He wanted them
immediately to create a voting system which would ensure that any time
anything was going to be voted on the voting system would guarantee
results that Chavez wanted. Chavez offered Smartmatic many
inducements, including large sums of money, for Smartmatic to create or
modify the voting system so that it would guarantee Chavez would win
every election cycle. Smartmatic eam ag eed to create such a system
and did so.

13. I arranged and attended three more meetings between President Chavez
and the representatives from Smartmatic at which details of the new
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-2 Filed 11/25/20 Page 5 of 9

voting system were discussed and agreed upon. For each of these
meetings, I communicated directly with on details of
where and when to meet, where the participants would be picked up and
delivered to the meetings, and what was to be accomplished. At these
meetings, the participants called their project the Chavez revolution.
From that point on, Chavez never lost any election. In fact, he was able
to ensure wins for himself, his party, Congress persons and mayors from
townships.

14. Smartmatic electoral technology was called Sistema de Gestión


Electoral (the Electoral Management System ). Smartmatic was a
pioneer in this area of computing systems. Their system provided for
transmission of voting data over the internet to a computerized central
tabulating center. The voting machines themselves had a digital display,
fingerprint recognition feature to identify the voter, and printed out the
voter ballot. The voter thumbprint was linked to a computerized record
of that voter iden i . Sma ma ic c ea ed and e a ed he en i e
system.

15. Chavez was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a way
that the system could change the vote of each voter without being
detected. He wanted the software itself to function in such a manner that
if the voter were to place their thumb print or fingerprint on a scanner,
then the thumbprint would be tied to a record of the voter name and
identity as having voted, but that voter would not tracked to the changed
vote. He made it clear that the system would have to be setup to not leave
any evidence of the changed vote for a specific voter and that there would
be no evidence to show and nothing to contradict that the name or the
fingerprint or thumb print was going with a changed vote. Smartmatic
agreed to create such a system and produced the software and hardware
that accomplished that result for President Chavez.

16. After the Smartmatic Electoral Management System was put in place, I
closely observed several elections where the results were manipulated
using Smartmatic software. One such election was in December 2006
when Chavez was running against Rosales. Chavez won with a landslide
over Manuel Rosales - a margin of nearly 6 million votes for Chavez versus
3.7 million for Rosales.

17. On April 14, 2013, I witnessed another Venezuelan national election in


which the Smartmatic Electoral Management System was used to
manipulate and change the results for the person to succeed Hugo Chávez
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-2 Filed 11/25/20 Page 6 of 9

as President. In that election, Nicolás Maduro ran against Capriles


Radonsky.

Inside that location was a control room in which there were


multiple digital display screens TV screens for results of voting in each
state in Venezuela. The actual voting results were fed into that room and
onto the displays over an internet feed, which was connected to a
sophisticated computer system created by Smartmatic. People in that
room were able to see in eal ime hether the vote that came through
the electronic voting system was in their favor or against them. If one
looked at any particular screen, they could determine that the vote from
any specific area or as a national total was going against either candidate.
Persons controlling the vote tabulation computer had the ability to change
the reporting of votes by moving votes from one candidate to another by
using the Smartmatic software.

18. By two o'clock in the afternoon on that election day Capriles Radonsky
was ahead of Nicolás Maduro by two million votes. When Maduro and his
supporters realized the size of Radonsky s lead they were worried that
they were in a crisis mode and would lose the election. The Smartmatic
machines used for voting in each state were connected to the internet and
reported their information over the internet to the Caracas control center
in real-time. So, the decision was made to reset the entire system.
Maduro s and his supporters ordered the network controllers to take the
internet itself offline in practically all parts in Venezuela and to change
the results.

19. It took the voting system operators approximately two hours to make the
adjustments in the vote from Radonsky to Maduro. Then, when they
turned the internet back on and the on-line reporting was up and running
again, they checked each screen state by state to be certain where they
could see that each vote was changed in favor of Nicholas Maduro. At that
moment the Smartmatic system changed votes that were for Capriles
Radonsky to Maduro. By the time the system operators finish, they had
achieved a convincing, but narrow victory of 200,000 votes for Maduro.

20. After Smartmatic created the voting system President Chavez wanted, he
exported the software and system all over Latin America. It was sent to
Bolivia, Nicaragua, Argentina, Ecuador, and Chile countries that were
in alliance with President Chavez. This was a group of leaders who
wanted to be able to guarantee they maintained power in their countries.
When Chavez died, Smartmatic was in a position of being the only
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-2 Filed 11/25/20 Page 7 of 9

company that could guarantee results in Venezuelan elections for the


party in power.

21. I want to point out that the software and fundamental design of the
electronic electoral system and software of Dominion and other election
tabulating companies relies upon software that is a descendant of the
Smartmatic Electoral Management System. In short, the Smartmatic
software is in the DNA of every vote tabulating company software and
system.

22. Dominion is one of three major companies that tabulates votes in the
United States. Dominion uses the same methods and fundamentally same
software design for the storage, transfer and computation of voter
identification data and voting data. Dominion and Smartmatic did
business together. The software, hardware and system have the same
fundamental flaws which allow multiple opportunities to corrupt the data
and mask the process in a way that the average person cannot detect any
fraud or manipulation. The fact that the voting machine displays a voting
result that the voter intends and then prints out a paper ballot which
reflects that change does not matter. It is the software that counts the
digitized vote and reports the results. The software itself is the one that
changes the information electronically to the result that the operator of
the software and vote counting system intends to produce that counts.
That how it is done. So the software, the software itself configures the
vote and voting result -- changing the selection made by the voter. The
software decides the result regardless of what the voter votes.

23. All of the computer controlled voting tabulation is done in a closed


environment so that the voter and any observer cannot detect what is
taking place unless there is a malfunction or other event which causes the
observer to question the process. I saw first-hand that the manipulation
and changing of votes can be done in real-time at the secret counting
center which existed in Caracas, Venezuela. For me it was something
very surprising and disturbing. I was in awe because I had never been
present to actually see it occur and I saw it happen. So, I learned first-
hand that it doesn ma e ha he e decides or what the paper
ballot says. It he f a e e a and he f a e ha decide what
counts not the voter.

24. If one questions the reliability of my observations, they only have to read
the words of
a time period in
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-2 Filed 11/25/20 Page 8 of 9

which Smartmatic had possession of all the votes and the voting, the votes
themselves and the voting information at their disposition in Venezuela.

he was assuring that the voting system implemented or used


by Smartmatic was completely secure, that it could not be compromised,
was not able to be altered.

25. But later, in 2017 when there were elections where Maduro was running
and elections for legislators in Venezuela, and Smartmatic broke
their secrecy pact with the government of Venezuela. He made a public
announcement through the media in which he stated that all the
Smartmatic voting machines used during those elections were totally
manipulated and they were manipulated by the electoral council of
Venezuela back then. stated that all of the votes for Nicholas
Maduro and the other persons running for the legislature were
manipulated and they actually had lost. So I think that's the greatest
proof that the fraud can be carried out and will be denied by the software
company that admitted publicly that Smartmatic had created,
used and still uses vote counting software that can be manipulated or
altered.

26. I am alarmed because of what is occurring in plain sight during this 2020
election for President of the United States. The circumstances and events
are eerily reminiscent of what happened with Smartmatic software
electronically changing votes in the 2013 presidential election in
Venezuela. What happened in the United States was that the vote
counting was abruptly stopped in five states using Dominion software. At
the time that vote counting was stopped, Donald Trump was significantly
ahead in the votes. Then during the wee hours of the morning, when there
was no voting occurring and the vote count reporting was off-line,
something significantly changed. When the vote reporting resumed the

27. I have worked in gathering


information, researching, and working with information technology.

was up-to-date information in as far as how all these businesses are
acting, what actions they are taking.

DECLARATION OF HARRI HURSTI

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, HARRI HURST! declares under penalty of

perjury that the following is true and correct:

1. This declaration supplements my prior declarations (Docs. 680-1,

800-2, 809-3, 860-1, 877, and 923-2) and I stand by the statements in those

declarations.

2. I arrived at the Fulton County Election Preparation Center ("EPC") on

October 1, 2020 around 3 :45pm. I was there in my capacity as an expert engaged by

the Coalition Plaintiffs to conduct a Rule 34 inspection. (Exhibit 1) . I was

accompanied during part of my visit by Marilyn Marks of Coalition for Good

Governance.

3. My goal for this observation and inspection was to review the ongoing

updating of the Dominion software for Fulton County ballot marking device

("BMD") touchscreen units to ICX software version 5.5.10.32. It is my

understanding that Fulton has an inventory of over 3,300 BMD touchscreens, all of

which are to be updated with this software. A number of the machines were in the

EPC warehouse and were staged to be updated or marked after the update had been

completed.

4. Upon our arrival, Ms. Marks and I were informed by Derrick Gilstrap,

the manager of EPC, that all of the people working to upgrade the devices were

Dominion technicians. Mr. Gilstrap stated that he did not feel comfortable

installing a last-minute software change, and did not want Fulton County staff to

be responsible for installing it. He told us that he told Dominion to conduct this

operation, prior to having his staff install the November 2020 election

programming and Logic and Accuracy testing ("LAT").

5. Mr. Gilstrap told us that after the software update step that LAT

would immediately begin, and made no mention of Acceptance Testing that should

occur prior to LAT.

6. Acceptance Testing is an almost universally mandated basic test of

the hardware and software when a change or repair to either has been made before

counties are permitted to install election programming and deploy voting system

components. Acceptance testing must be performed on each unit, and cannot be

performed on a sample basis. Fulton's failure to conduct such testing should be a

serious warning sign of further recklessness in the installation of inadequately

tested software.

7. Mr. Gilstrap stated that Dominion had started the software update

project with four workers, but soon realized that the task would take extended

periods of time. Mr. Gilstrap stated that Dominion had accordingly increased the

workforce to 14 and expected the installation work to be completed on Monday,

October 5.

8. The new software was contained on USB sticks. However, there was

no inventory management present for the USB sticks. There also was no inventory

control for the technician authorization smartcards, which provide access to the

controls of the touchscreen. Workers did not sign or otherwise document when

they took possession or returned the technician cards and software upgrade USB

sticks. Those items were in an open plastic bag which was sometimes placed on

table, and sometimes carried around the working area by the manager. Anyone was

able to pick up a USB stick or drop them there freely, permitting the easy

substitution ofUSB sticks containing malware or to leave the premises with copies

of the software update.

9. Some workers worked one BMD touchscreen machine at the time,

while others simultaneously worked on 2 or 3 machines. There was no

accountability for how many sticks and technician smart-cards each worker had in

their possession. Clearly, the USB sticks were not considered to be security

sensitive items at all.

10. Some of the workers had instructions for software update visible in

their pockets, while others did not seem to have the instructions readily available.

One worker showed me the instructions, but it was different from the instructions I

had seen that were sent to the counties. None of the technicians that I observed

were following the instructions as they installed the new software.

11. Technicians were not following a common process, and they all made

their own variations on the workflow. In my experience, this can negatively affect

the quality and reliability of the software installation. Many workers were texting

and making phone calls while working and not focusing on their work. As a result,

I observed repeated human errors such as skipping steps of the process.

12. Some workers consistently took an extra step to destroy previous

application data before uninstalling the old version of the software. Uninstalling

software packages results in destroying application data, but that is known to be

unreliable in old versions of Android. The step they took is ensuring, among other

things, destruction of forensic evidence of Fulton's use of the equipment in prior

elections.

13. To avoid destruction of all forensic evidence from the BMDs, a

number of images of the electronic data contained on the BMDs should be taken

from a sample of them before installation of the new software.

14. As part of the updating process, the workers are directed to enable the

"Install from Unknown Sources" setting. This is an insecure mode because it turns

off the operating system verification of trusted sources and therefore allows

software from any source to be installed. During the 45 minutes of my observation,

I observed that many units had been left in insecure mode. I estimate 15% of the

units were already in the insecure mode when the work began on them, having

been left that way during the last software installations, or because of interim

tampering.

15. As described before, most workers I observed were not focusing on

the work they were tasked to do, and as result, they were accidentally skipping

steps. I observed that, as result of these human errors, the units were erroneously

left in the insecure mode either by the workers skipping the step to place the

machine into the secure mode after upgrade, or doing the step at such a fast pace

that the system did not register the touch to toggle the switch and the worker did

not stop to verify the action.

16. The State Defendants and Dominion have repeatedly overstated the

value of their hash test, but my observation showed that they themselves are not

relying on such test as a control measure. Dominion workers are not even

checking the hash value. I deliberately followed many workers when they

processed the units. During over 45 minutes of observation, none of the workers

took the step of verifying the hash value. Some workers did not realize that the

upgrade had failed and the mistake was only caught by persons who were closing

the cabinets when and if they looked at the software version numbers before

closing the doors.

17. I also observed random errors that were not caused by humans. For

example, software sometimes refused to uninstall because the uninstall button was

disabled, or the installation silently failed. The technicians treated devices with

issues by simply rebooting them. Technicians made no effort to diagnose or

document the cause of the issues. The casual nature of dealing with the

irregularities caused me to conclude that these abnormal incidents are

commonplace.

18. Based on my observations of the software update, I would anticipate

that these machines are likely to behave inconsistently in the polling place,

depending on a number of factors including the care taken in the software

installation process.

19. The current abbreviated LAT protocol adopted by Fulton County and

the State cannot be relied on to identify problems created by the new software or

its installation (or other problems with programming and configuration unrelated to

the new software). Even if counties were conducting the full LAT required, it is

but one step that is needed, and is quite insufficient for ensuring the reliability of

the BMD touchscreens-which at the end of the day, simply cannot be done.

20. In my professional opinion, the methods and processes of adopting

and installing this software change is completely unacceptable. The methods and

processes adopted by Dominion and Fulton County do not meet national standards

for managing voting system technical problems and remedies, and should not be

accepted for use in a public election under any circumstances.

21. It is important that full details of the software change made be

available for analysis and testing to determine the potential impact of the changes. I

concur with Dr. Halderman's opinion in Paragraph 8 of his September 28, 2020

declaration (Doc. 923-1 ), in which he states that if the problem is as limited as

described by Dominion, it could have been addressed with far less risk by the State

without making an uncertified, untested software change.

22. In my opinion, the installation of the last-minute software change adds

intolerable risk to the upcoming election, and the simple solution of removing the

BMD units from the process and adopting hand marked paper ballots is imperative.

23. I note that I wanted to document the upgrading process, but Mr.

Gilstrap told me that I was prohibited from taking photographs or video. I showed

him the Rule 34 inspection document and pointed out the paragraph permitting

photographing. He read that carefully but told me that he needed to clear that with

his superiors before I could start taking pictures. He never cleared this with his

superiors while we were there.

I declare under penalty of the perjury laws of the State of Georgia and

the United States that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration

was executed this 4 th day of October, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Ballot-Marking Devices (BMDs)


Cannot Assure the Will of the Voters

Abstract

The complexity of U.S. elections usually requires computers to count ballots—


but computers can be hacked, so election integrity requires a voting system in
which paper ballots can be recounted by hand. However, paper ballots provide no
assurance unless they accurately record the votes as expressed by the voters.
Voters can express their intent by indelibly hand-marking ballots, or using
computers called ballot-marking device (BMDs). Voters can make mistakes in
expressing their intent in either technology, but only BMDs are also subject to
hacking, bugs, and misconfiguration of the software that prints the marked bal-
lots. Most voters do not review BMD-printed ballots, and those who do often fail
to notice when the printed vote is not what they expressed on the touchscreen.
Furthermore, there is no action a voter can take to demonstrate to election offi-
cials that a BMD altered their expressed votes, nor is there a corrective action that
election officials can take if notified by voters—there is no way to deter, contain,
or correct computer hacking in BMDs. These are the essential security flaws of
BMDs.
Risk-limiting audits can assure that the votes recorded on paper ballots are
tabulated correctly, but no audit can assure that the votes on paper are the ones
expressed by the voter on a touchscreen: Elections conducted on current BMDs
cannot be confirmed by audits. We identify two properties of voting systems,
contestability and defensibility, necessary for audits to confirm election outcomes.
No available EAC-certified BMD is contestable or defensible.

1 Introduction: Criteria for Voting Systems

Elections for public office and on public questions in the United States or any democ-
racy must produce outcomes based on the votes that voters express when they indicate
their choices on a paper ballot or on a machine. Computers have become indispens-
able to conducting elections, but computers are vulnerable. They can be hacked—
compromised by insiders or external adversaries who can replace their software with
fraudulent software that deliberately miscounts votes—and they can contain design
errors and bugs—hardware or software flaws or configuration errors that result in mis-
recording or mis-tabulating votes. Hence there must be some way, independent of any
software in any computers, to ensure that reported election outcomes are correct, i.e.,
consistent with the expressed votes as intended by the voters.

Voting systems should be software independent, meaning that “an undetected change
or error in its software cannot cause an undetectable change or error in an election out-
come” [30, 31, 32]. Software independence is similar to tamper-evident packaging: if
somebody opens the container and disturbs the contents, it will leave a trace.

The use of software-independent voting systems is supposed to ensure that if some-


one fraudulently hacks the voting machines to steal votes, we’ll know about it. But we
also want to know the true outcome in order to avoid a do-over election.1 A voting
system is strongly software independent if it is software independent and, moreover,
a detected change or error in an election outcome (due to change or error in the soft-
ware) can be corrected using only the ballots and ballot records of the current election
[30, 31]. Strong software independence combines tamper evidence with a kind of re-
silience: there’s a way to tell whether faulty software caused a problem, and a way to
recover from the problem if it did.

Software independence and strong software independence are now standard terms in
the analysis of voting systems, and it is widely accepted that voting systems should be
software independent. Indeed, version 2.0 of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines
(VVSG 2.0) incorporates this principle [11].

But as we will show, these standard definitions are incomplete and inadequate, be-
cause the word undetectable hides several important questions: Who detects the change
or error in an election outcome? How can a person prove that she has detected an er-
1
Do-overs are expensive; they may delay the inauguration of an elected official; there is no assurance
that the same voters will vote in the do-over election as voted in the original; they decrease public trust.
And if the do-over election is conducted with the same voting system that can only detect but not correct
errors, then there may need to be a do-over of the do-over, ad infinitum.

2
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 4 of 34

ror? What happens when someone detects an error—does the election outcome remain
erroneous? Or conversely: How can an election administrator prove that the election
outcome not been altered, or prove that the correct outcome was recovered if a software
malfunction was detected? The standard definition does not distinguish evidence avail-
able to an election official, to the public, or just to a single voter; nor does it consider
the possibility of false alarms.

Those questions are not merely academic, as we show with an analysis of ballot-
marking devices. Even if some voters “detect” that the printed output is not what they
expressed to the BMD—even if some of those voters report their detection to election
officials—there is no mechanism by which the election official can “detect” whether a
BMD has been hacked to alter election outcomes. The questions of who detects, and
then what happens, are critical—but unanswered by the standard definitions.

We will define the terms contestable and defensible to better characterize properties
of voting systems that make them acceptable for use in public elections.2

A voting system is contestable if an undetected change or error in its software that


causes a change or error in an election outcome can always produce public evidence
that the outcome is untrustworthy. For instance, if a voter selected candidate A on the
touchscreen of a BMD, but the BMD prints candidate B on the paper ballot, then this
A-vs-B evidence is available to the individual voter, but the voter cannot demonstrate
this evidence to anyone else, since nobody else saw—nor should have seen—where the
voter touched the screen.3 Thus, the voting system does not provide a way for the voter
who observed the misbehavior to prove to anyone else that there was a problem, even if
the problems altered the reported outcome. Such a system is therefore not contestable.

While the definition of software independence might allow evidence available only
to individual voters as “detection,” such evidence does not suffice for a system to be
contestable. Contestibility is software independence, plus the requirement that “detect”
implies “can generate public evidence.” “Trust me” does not count as public evidence.
If a voting system is not contestable, then problems voters “detect” might never see the
light of day, much less be addressed or corrected.4
2
There are other notions connected to contestability and defensibility, although essentially different:
Benaloh et al. [6] define a P -resilient canvass framework, personally verifiable P -resilient canvass
framework, and privacy-perserving personally verifiable P -resilient canvass frameworks.
3
See footnote 17.
4
If voters are the only means of detecting and quantifying the effect of those problems—as they are
for BMDs—then in practice the system is not strongly software independent. The reason is that, as
we will show, such claims by (some) voters cannot correct software-dependent changes to other voters’
ballots, and cannot be used as the basis to invalidate or correct an election outcome. Thus, BMD-based

3
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 5 of 34

Similarly, while strong software independence demands that a system be able to


report the correct outcome even if there was an error or alteration of the software,
it does not require public evidence that the (reconstructed) reported outcome is cor-
rect. We believe, therefore, that voting systems must also be defensible. We say that
a voting system is defensible if, when the reported electoral outcome is correct, it is
possible to generate convincing public evidence that the reported electoral outcome is
correct—despite any malfunctions, software errors, or software alterations that might
have occurred. If a voting system is not defensible, then it is vulnerable to “crying
wolf”: malicious actors could claim that the system malfunctioned when in fact it did
not, and election officials will have no way to prove otherwise.

By analogy with strong software independence, we define: A voting system is


strongly defensible if it is defensible and, moreover, a detected change or error in
an election outcome (due to change or error in the software) can be corrected (with
convincing public evidence) using only the ballots and ballot records of the current
election.

In short, a system is contestable if it can generate public evidence of a problem


whenever a reported outcome is wrong, while a system is defensible if it can generate
public evidence whenever a reported outcome is correct—despite any problems that
might have occurred. Contestable systems are publicly tamper-evident; defensible sys-
tems are publicly, demonstrably resilient.

Defensibility is a key requirement for evidence-based elections [39]: defensibility


makes it possible in principle for election officials to generate convincing evidence
that the reported winners really won—if the reported winners did really win. (We say
an election system may be defensible, and an election may be evidence-based; there’s
much more process to an election than just the choice of system.)

Examples. The only known practical technology for contestable, strongly defensi-
ble voting is a system of hand-marked paper ballots, kept demonstrably physically
secure, counted by machine, audited manually, and recountable by hand.5 In a hand-
marked paper ballot election, ballot-marking software cannot be the source of an error
or change-of-election-outcome, because no software is used in marking ballots. Ballot-
scanning-and-counting software can be the source of errors, but such errors can be
election systems are not even (weakly) software independent, unless one takes “detection” to mean
“somebody claimed there was a problem, with no evidence to support that claim.”
5
The election must also generate convincing evidence that physical security of the ballots was not
compromised, and the audit must generate convincing public evidence that the audit itself was conducted

detected and corrected by audits.

That system is contestable: if an optical scan voting machine reports the wrong
outcome because it miscounted (because it was hacked, misprogrammed, or miscali-
brated), the evidence is public: the paper ballots, recounted before witnesses, will not
match the claimed results, also witnessed. It is strongly defensible: a recount before
witnesses can demonstrate that the reported outcome is correct, or can find the correct
outcome if it was wrong—and provide public evidence that the (reconstructed) outcome
is correct. See Section 4 for a detailed analysis.

Over 40 states now use some form of paper ballot for most voters [19]. Most of the
remaining states are taking steps to adopt paper ballots. But not all voting systems that
use paper ballots are equally secure.

Some are not even software independent. Some are software independent, but not
strongly software independent, contestable, or defensible. In this report we explain:

• Hand-marked paper ballot systems are the only practical technology for con-
testable, strongly defensible voting systems.
• Some ballot-marking devices (BMDs) can be software independent, but they
not strongly software independent, contestable, or defensible. Hacked or mis-
programmed BMDs can alter election outcomes undetectably, so elections con-
ducted using BMDs cannot provide public evidence that reported outcomes are
correct. If BMD malfunctions are detected, there is no way to determine who
really won. Therefore BMDs should not be used by voters who are able to mark
an optical-scan ballot with a pen.
• All-in-one BMD or DRE+VVPAT voting machines are not software independent,
contestable, or defensible. They should not be used in public elections.

2 Background

We briefly review the kinds of election equipment in use, their vulnerability to computer
hacking (or programming error), and in what circumstances risk-limiting audits can
mitigate that vulnerability.

Voting equipment

Although a voter may form an intention to vote for a candidate or issue days, minutes,
or seconds before actually casting a ballot, that intention is a psychological state that
cannot be directly observed by anyone else. Others can have access to that intention
through what the voter (privately) expresses to the voting technology by interacting
with it, e.g., by making selections on a BMD or marking a ballot by hand.6 Voting
systems must accurately record the vote as the voter expressed it.

With a hand-marked paper ballot optical-scan system, the voter is given a paper
ballot on which all choices (candidates) in each contest are listed; next to each candidate
is a target (typically an oval or other shape) which the voter marks with a pen to indicate
a vote. Ballots may be either preprinted or printed (unvoted) at the polling place using
ballot on demand printers. In either case, the voter creates a tamper-evident record of
intent by marking the printed paper ballot with a pen.

Such hand-marked paper ballots may be scanned and tabulated at the polling place
using a precinct-count optical scanner (PCOS), or may be brought to a central place to
be scanned and tabulated by a central-count optical scanner (CCOS). Mail-in ballots
are typically counted by CCOS machines.

After scanning a ballot, a PCOS machine deposits the ballot in a secure, sealed
ballot box for later use in recounts or audits; this is ballot retention. Ballots counted by
CCOS are also retained for recounts or audits.7

Paper ballots can also be hand counted, but in most jurisdictions (especially where
there are many contests on the ballot) this is hard to do quickly; Americans expect
election-night reporting of unofficial totals. Hand counting—i.e., manually determin-
ing votes directly from the paper ballots—is appropriate for audits and recounts.

A ballot-marking device (BMD) provides a computerized user interface that presents


6
We recognize that voters make mistakes in expressing their intentions. For example, they may mis-
understand the layout of a ballot or express an unintended choice through a perceptual error, inattention,
or lapse of memory. The use of touchscreen technology does not necessarily correct for such user errors,
as every smartphone user who has mistyped an important text message knows. Poorly designed ballots,
poorly designed touchscreen interfaces, and poorly designed assistive interfaces increase the rate of error
in voters’ expressions of their votes. For the purposes of this report, we assume that properly engineered
systems seek to minimize such usability errors.
7
Regulations and procedures governing custody and physical security of ballots are uneven and in
many cases inadequate, but straightforward to correct because of decades of development of best prac-
tices.

the ballot to voters and captures their expressed selections—for instance, a touchscreen
interface or an assistive interface that enables voters with disabilities to vote indepen-
dently. Voter inputs (expressed votes) are recorded electronically. When a voter indi-
cates that the ballot is complete and ready to be cast, the BMD prints a paper version
of the electronically marked ballot. We use the term BMD for devices that mark bal-
lots but do not tabulate or retain them, and all-in-one for devices that combine ballot
marking, tabulation, and retention into the same paper path.

The paper ballot printed by a BMD may be in the same format as an optical-scan
form (e.g., with ovals filled as if by hand) or it may list just the names of the candidate(s)
selected in each contest. The BMD may also encode these selections into barcodes or
QR codes for optical scanning. We discuss issues with barcodes later in this report.

An all-in-one touchscreen voting machine combines computerized ballot marking,


tabulation, and retention in the same paper path. All-in-one machines come in several
configurations:

• DRE+VVPAT machines—direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machines with


a voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT)—provide the voter a touchscreen (or
other) interface, then print a paper ballot that is displayed to the voter under glass.
The voter is expected to review this ballot and approve it, after which the machine
deposits it into a ballot box. DRE+VVPAT machines do not contain optical scan-
ners; that is, they do not read what is marked on the paper ballot; instead, they
tabulate the vote directly from inputs to the touchscreen or other interface.
• BMD+Scanner all-in-one machines8 provide the voter a touchscreen (or other)
interface to input ballot choices and print a paper ballot that is ejected from a
slot for the voter to inspect. The voter then reinserts the ballot into the slot, after
which the all-in-one BMD+scanner scans it and deposits it into a ballot box. Or,
some BMD+Scanner all-in-one machines display the paper ballot behind plexi-
glass for the voter to inspect, before mechanically depositing it into a ballot box.

Opscan+BMD with separate paper paths. At least one model of voting machine
(the Dominion ICP320) contains an optical scanner (opscan) and a BMD in the same
cabinet,9 so that the optical scanner and BMD-printer are not in the same paper path;
no possible configuration of the software could cause a BMD-marked ballot to be de-
posited in the ballot box without human handling of the ballot. We do not classify this
as an all-in-one machine.
8
Some voting machines, such as the ES&S ExpressVote, can be configured as either a BMD or a
BMD+Scanner all-in-one. Others, such as the ExpressVoteXL, work only as all-in-one machines.
9
More precisely, the ICP320 optical scanner and the BMD audio+buttons interface are in the same
cabinet, but the printer is a separate box.

Hacking

There are many forms of computer hacking. In this analysis of voting machines we
focus on the alteration of voting machine software so that it miscounts votes or mis-
marks ballots to alter election outcomes. There are many ways to alter the software
of a voting machine: a person with physical access to the computer can open it and
directly access the memory; one can plug in a special USB thumbdrive that exploits
bugs and vulnerabilities in the computer’s USB drivers; one can connect to its WiFi
port or Bluetooth port or telephone modem (if any) and exploit bugs in those drivers,
or in the operating system.

“Air-gapping” a system (i.e., never connecting it to the Internet nor to any other net-
work) does not automatically protect it. Before each election, election administrators
must transfer a ballot definition into the voting machine by inserting a ballot definition
cartridge that was programmed on election-administration computers that may have
been connected previously to various networks; it has been demonstrated that vote-
changing viruses can propagate via these ballot-definition cartridges [18].

Hackers might be corrupt insiders with access to a voting-machine warehouse; cor-


rupt insiders with access to a county’s election-administration computers; outsiders
who can gain remote access to election-administration computers; outsiders who can
gain remote access to voting-machine manufacturers’ computers (and “hack” the firmware
installed in new machines, or the firmware updates supplied for existing machines), and
so on. Supply-chain hacks are also possible: the hardware installed by a voting system
vendor may have malware pre-installed by the vendor’s component suppliers.10

Computer systems (including voting machines) have so many layers of software that
it is impossible to make them perfectly secure [24, pp. 89–91]. When manufacturers
of voting machines use the best known security practices, adversaries may find it more
difficult to hack a BMD or optical scanner—but not impossible. Every computer in
every critical system is vulnerable to compromise through hacking, insider attacks or
exploiting design flaws.
10
Given that many chips and other components are manufactured in China and elsewhere, this is
a serious concern. Carsten Schürmann has found Chinese pop songs on the internal memory of vot-
ing machines (C. Schürmann, personal communication, 2018). Presumably those files were left there
accidentally—but this shows that malicious code could have been pre-installed deliberately, and that
neither the vendor’s nor the election official’s security and quality control measures discovered and re-
moved the extraneous files.

Election assurance through risk-limiting audits

To ensure that the reported electoral outcome of each contest corresponds to what the
voters expressed, the most practical known technology is a risk-limiting audit (RLA)
of trustworthy paper ballots [35, 36, 23]. The National Academies of Science, Engi-
neering, and Medicine, recommend routine RLAs after every election [24], as do many
other organizations and entities concerned with election integrity.11

The risk limit of a risk-limiting audit is the maximum chance that the audit will not
correct the reported electoral outcome, if the reported outcome is wrong. “Electoral
outcome” means the political result—who or what won—not the exact tally. “Wrong”
means that the outcome does not correspond to what the voters expressed.

A RLA involves manually inspecting randomly selected paper ballots following a


rigorous protocol. The audit stops if and when the sample provides convincing evidence
that the reported outcome is correct; otherwise, the audit continues until every ballot
has been inspected manually, which reveals the correct electoral outcome if the paper
trail is trustworthy. RLAs protect against vote-tabulation errors, whether those errors
are caused by failures to follow procedures, misconfiguration, miscalibration, faulty
engineering, bugs, or malicious hacking.12

The risk limit should be determined as a matter of policy or law. For instance, a
5% risk limit means that, if a reported outcome is wrong solely because of tabulation
errors, there is at least a 95% chance that the audit procedure will correct it. Smaller
risk limits give higher confidence in election outcomes, but require inspecting more
ballots, other things being equal. RLAs never revise a correct outcome.

RLAs can be very efficient, depending in part on how the voting system is designed
and how jurisdictions organize their ballots. If the computer results are accurate, an
efficient RLA with a risk limit of 5% requires examining just a few—about 7 divided by
the margin—ballots selected randomly from the contest.13 For instance, if the margin
of victory is 10% and the results are correct, the RLA would need to examine about
7/10% = 70 ballots to confirm the outcome at 5% risk. For a 1% margin, the RLA
would need to examine about 7/1% = 700 ballots. The sample size does not depend
11
Among them are the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, the American Statistical
Association, the League of Women Voters, and Verified Voting Foundation.
12
RLAs do not protect against problems that cause BMDs to print something other than what was
shown to the voter on the screen, nor do they protect against problems with ballot custody.
13
Technically, it is the diluted margin that enters the calculation. The diluted margin is the number of
votes that separate the winner with the fewest votes from the loser with the most votes, divided by the
number of ballots cast, including undervotes and invalid votes.

9
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 11 of 34

much on the total number of ballots cast in the contest, only on the margin of the
winning candidate’s victory.

RLAs assume that a full hand tally of the paper trail would reveal the correct elec-
toral outcomes: the paper trail must be trustworthy. Other kinds of audits, such as
compliance audits [6, 23, 39, 37] are required to establish whether the paper trail itself
is trustworthy. Applying an RLA procedure to an untrustworthy paper trail cannot limit
the risk that a wrong reported outcome goes uncorrected.

Properly preserved hand-marked paper ballots ensure that expressed votes are iden-
tical to recorded votes. But BMDs might not record expressed votes accurately, for
instance, if BMD software has bugs, was misconfigured, or was hacked: BMD print-
out is not a trustworthy record of the expressed votes. Neither a compliance audit nor
a RLA can possibly check whether errors in recording expressed votes altered elec-
tion outcomes. RLAs that rely on BMD output therefore cannot limit the risk that an
incorrect reported election outcome will go uncorrected.

A paper-based voting system (such as one that uses optical scanners) is systemat-
ically more secure than a paperless system (such as DREs) only if the paper trail is
trustworthy and the results are checked against the paper trail using a rigorous method
such as an RLA or full manual tally. If it is possible that error, hacking, bugs, or mis-
calibration caused the recorded-on-paper votes to differ from the expressed votes, an
RLA or even a full hand recount cannot not provide convincing public evidence that
election outcomes are correct: such a system cannot be defensible. In short, paper bal-
lots provide little assurance against hacking if they are never examined or if the paper
might not accurately reflect the votes expressed by the voters.

3 (Non)Contestability/Defensibility of BMDs

A BMD-generated paper trail is not a reliable record of the vote expressed by the
voter. Like any computer, a BMD (or a DRE+VVPAT) is vulnerable to bugs, miscon-
figuration, hacking, installation of unauthorized (fraudulent) software, and alteration of
installed software.

If a hacker sought to steal an election by altering BMD software, what would the
hacker program the BMD to do? In cybersecurity practice, we call this the threat model.

The simplest threat model is this one: In some contests, not necessarily top-of-the-
ticket, change a small percentage of the votes (such as 5%).

10
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 12 of 34

In recent national elections, analysts have considered a candidate who received 60%
of the vote to have won by a landslide. Many contests are decided by less than a 10%
margin. Changing 5% of the votes can change the margin by 10%, because “flipping”
a vote for one candidate into a vote for a different candidate changes the difference in
their tallies—i.e., the margin—by 2 votes. If hacking or bugs or misconfiguration could
change 5% of the votes, that would be a very significant threat.

Although public and media interest often focus on top-of-the-ticket races such as
President and Governor, elections for lower offices such as state representatives, who
control legislative agendas and redistricting, and county officials, who manage elections
and assess taxes, are just as important in our democracy. Altering the outcome of
smaller contests requires altering fewer votes, so fewer voters are in a position to notice
that their ballots were misprinted. And most voters are not as familiar with the names
of the candidates for those offices, so they might be unlikely to notice if their ballots
were misprinted, even if they checked.

Research in a real polling place in Tennessee during the 2018 election, found that
half the voters didn’t look at all at the paper ballot printed by a BMD, even when
they were holding it in their hand and directed to do so while carrying it from the
BMD to the optical scanner [14]. Those voters who did look at the BMD-printed ballot
spent an average of 4 seconds examining it to verify that the eighteen or more choices
they made were correctly recorded. That amounts to 222 milliseconds per contest,
barely enough time for the human eye to move and refocus under perfect conditions
and not nearly enough time for perception, comprehension, and recall [28]. A study
by other researchers [8], in a simulated polling place using real BMDs deliberately
hacked to alter one vote on each paper ballot, found that only 6.6% of voters told a
pollworker something was wrong.1415 The same study found that among voters who
examined their hand-marked ballots, half were unable to recall key features of ballots
cast moments before, a prerequisite step for being able to recall their own ballot choices.
This finding is broadly consistent with studies of effects like “change blindness” or
“choice blindness,” in which human subjects fail to notice changes made to choices
14
You might think, “the voter really should carefully review their BMD-printed ballot.” But because
the scientific evidence shows that voters do not [14] and cognitively cannot [17] perform this task well,
legislators and election administrators should provide a voting system that counts the votes as voters
express them.
15
Studies of voter confidence about their ability to verify their ballots are not relevant: in typical
situations, subjective confidence and objective accuracy are at best weakly correlated. The relationship
between confidence and accuracy has been studied in contexts ranging from eyewitness accuracy [9, 13,
42] to confidence in psychological clinical assessments [15] and social predictions [16]. The disconnect
is particularly severe at high confidence. Indeed, this is known as “the overconfidence effect.” For a lay
discussion, see Thinking, Fast and Slow by Nobel economist Daniel Kahnemann [21].

11
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 13 of 34

made only seconds before [20].

Suppose, then, that 10% of voters examine their paper ballots carefully enough
to even see the candidate’s name recorded as their vote for legislator or county com-
missioner. Of those, perhaps only half will remember the name of the candidate they
intended to vote for.16

Of those who notice that the vote printed is not the candidate they intended to vote
for, what will they think, and what will they do? Will they think, “Oh, I must have
made a mistake on the touchscreen,” or will they think, “Hey, the machine is cheating
or malfunctioning!” There’s no way for the voter to know for sure—voters do make
mistakes—and there’s absolutely no way for the voter to prove to a pollworker or elec-
tion official that a BMD printed something other than what the voter entered on the
screen.1718

Either way, polling-place procedures generally advise voters to ask a pollworker


for a new ballot if theirs does not show what they intended. Pollworkers should void
that BMD-printed ballot, and the voter should get another chance to mark a ballot.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that many voters are too timid to ask, or don’t know that
they have the right to ask, or are not sure whom to ask. Even if a voter asks for a new
ballot, training for pollworkers is uneven, and we are aware of no formal procedure for
resolving disputes if a request for a new ballot is refused. Moreover, there is no sensible
protocol for ensuring that BMDs that misbehave are investigated—nor can there be, as
we argue below.

Let’s summarize. If a machine alters votes on 5% of the ballots (enabling it to


change the margin by 10%), and 10% of voters check their ballots carefully and 50%
of the voters who check notice the error, then optimistically we might expect 5% ⇥
10% ⇥ 50% or 0.25% of the voters to request a new ballot and correct their vote.19 This
16
We ask the reader, “do you know the name of the most recent losing candidate for county commis-
sioner?” We recognize that some readers of this document are county commissioners, so we ask those
readers to imagine the frame of mind of their constituents.
17
You might think, “the voter can prove it by showing someone that the vote on the paper doesn’t
match the vote onscreen.” But that won’t work. On a typical BMD, by the time a paper record is printed
and ejected for the voter to hold and examine, the touchscreen no longer shows the voter’s choice. You
might think, “BMDs should be designed so that the choices still show on the screen for the voter to
compare with the paper.” But a hacked BMD could easily alter the on-screen choices to match the paper,
after the voter hits the “print” button.
18
Voters should certainly not videorecord themselves voting! That would defeat the privacy of the
secret ballot and is illegal in most jurisdictions.
19
This calculation assumes that the 10% of voters who check are in effect a random sample of voters:
voters’ propensity to check BMD printout is not associated with their political preferences.

12
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 14 of 34

means that the machine will change the margin by 9.75% and get away with it.

In this scenario, 0.25% of the voters, one in every 400 voters, has requested a new
ballot. You might think, “that’s a form of detection of the hacking.” But is isn’t, as a
practical matter: a few individual voters may have detected that there was a problem,
but there’s no procedure by which this translates into any action that election adminis-
trators can take to correct the outcome of the election. Polling-place procedures cannot
correct or deter hacking, or even reliably detect it, as we discuss next. This is essen-
tially the distinction between a system that is merely software independent and one that
is contestable: a change to the software that alters the outcome might generate evidence
for an alert, conscientious, individual voter, but it does not generate public evidence that
an election official can rely on to conclude there is a problem.

Even if some voters notice that BMDs are altering votes, there’s no way to correct
the election outcome. That is, BMD voting systems are not contestable, not defen-
sible (and therefore not strongly defensible), and not strongly software independent.
Suppose a state election official wanted to detect whether the BMDs are cheating, and
correct election results, based on actions by those few alert voters who notice the error.
What procedures could possibly work against the manipulation we are considering?

1. How about, “If at least 1 in 400 voters claims that the machine misrepresented
their vote, void the entire election.”20 No responsible authority would implement
such a procedure. A few dishonest voters could collaborate to invalidate entire
elections simply by falsely claiming that BMDs changed their votes.
2. How about, “If at least 1 in 400 voters claims that the machine misrepresented
their vote, then investigate.” Investigations are fine, but then what? The only
way an investigation can ensure that the outcome accurately reflects what voters
expressed to the BMDs is to void an election in which the BMDs have altered
votes and conduct a new election. But how do you know whether the BMDs
have altered votes, except based the claims of the voters?21 Furthermore, the
investigation itself would suffer from the same problem as above: how can one
20
Note that in many jurisdictions, far fewer than 400 voters use a given machine on election day:
BMDs are typically expected to serve fewer than 300 voters per day. (The vendor ES&S recommended
27,000 BMDs to serve Georgia’s 7 million voters, amounting to 260 voters per BMD [34].) Recall also
that the rate 1 in 400 is tied to the amount of manipulation. What if the malware flipped only one vote
in 50, instead of 1 vote in 20? That could still change the margin by 4%, but—in this hypothetical—
would be noticed by only one voter in 1,000, rather than one in 400. The smaller the margin, the less
manipulation it would have taken to alter the electoral outcome.
21
Forensic examination of the BMD might show that it was hacked or misconfigured, but it cannot
prove that the BMD was not hacked or misconfigured.

13
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 15 of 34

distinguish between voters who detected BMD hacking or bugs from voters who
just want to interfere with an election?

This is the essential security flaw of BMDs: few voters will notice and promptly
report discrepancies between what they saw on the screen and what is on the BMD
printout, and even when they do notice, there’s nothing appropriate that can be done.
Even if election officials are convinced that BMDs malfunctioned, there is no way to
determine who really won.

Therefore, BMDs should not be used by most voters.

Why can’t we rely on pre-election and post-election logic and accuracy testing, or
parallel testing? Most, if not all, jurisdictions perform some kind of logic and accu-
racy testing (LAT) of voting equipment before elections. LAT generally involves voting
on the equipment using various combinations of selections, then checking whether the
equipment tabulated the votes correctly. As the Volkswagen/Audi “Dieselgate” scandal
shows, devices can be programmed to behave properly when they are tested but mis-
behave in use [12]. Therefore, LAT can never prove that voting machines performed
properly in practice.

Parallel or “live” testing involves pollworkers or election officials using some BMDs
at random times on election day to mark (but not cast) ballots with test patterns, then
check whether the marks match the patterns. The idea is that the testing is not sub-
ject to the “Dieselgate” problem, because the machines cannot “know” they are being
tested on election day. As a practical matter, the number of tests required to provide a
reasonable chance of detecting outcome-changing errors is prohibitive, and even then
the system is not defensible. See Section 6.

Suppose, counterfactually, that it was practical to perform enough parallel testing to


guarantee a large chance of detecting a problem if BMD hacking or malfunction altered
electoral outcomes. Suppose, counterfactually, that election officials were required to
conduct that amount of parallel testing during every election, and that the required
equipment, staffing, infrastructure, and other resources were provided. Even then, the
system would not be strongly defensible; that is, if testing detected a problem, there
would be no way to to determine who really won. The only remedy would be a new
election.

Don’t voters need to check hand-marked ballots, too? It is always a good idea to
check one’s work, but there is a substantial body of research (e.g., [29]) suggesting

14
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 16 of 34

that preventing error as a ballot is being marked is a fundamentally different cognitive


task than detecting an error on a previously marked ballot. In cognitively similar tasks,
such as proof reading for non-spelling errors, ten percent rates of error detection are
common [29, pp 167ff], whereas by carefully attending to the task of correctly marking
their ballots, voters apparently can largely avoid marking errors.

A fundamental difference between hand-marked paper ballots and ballot-marking


devices is that, with hand-marked paper ballots, voters are responsible for catching and
correcting their own errors, while if BMDs are used, voters are also responsible for
catching machine errors, bugs, and hacking. Voters are the only people who can detect
such problems with BMDs—but, as explained above, if voters do find problems, there’s
no way they can prove to poll workers or election officials that there were problems and
no way to ensure that election officials take appropriate remedial action.

4 Contestability/defensibility of hand-marked opscan

The most widely used voting system in the United States optical-scan counting of hand-
marked paper ballots.22 Computers and computer software are used in several stages
of the voting process, and if that software is hacked (or erroneous), then the computers
will deliberately (or accidentally) report incorrect outcomes.

• Computers are used to prepare the PDF files from which (unvoted) optical-scan
ballots are printed, with ovals (or other targets to be marked) next to the names
of candidates. Because the optical scanners respond to the position on the page,
not the name of the candidate nearest the target, computer software could cheat
by reordering the candidates on the page.
• The optical-scan voting machine, which scans the ballots and interprets the marks,
is driven by computer software. Fraudulent (hacked) software can deliberately
record (some fraction of) votes for Candidate A and votes for Candidate B.
• After the voting machine reports the in-the-precinct vote totals (or, in the case of
central-count optical scan, the individual-batch vote totals), computers are used
to aggregate the various precincts or batches together. Hacked software could
cheat in this addition process.

Protection against any or all of these attacks relies on a system of risk-limiting

audits, along with compliance audits to check that the chain of custody of ballots and
paper records is trustworthy. Without such audits, optical-scan ballots (whether hand
marked or machine marked) are neither contestable nor defensible.

We analyze the contestability/defensibility of hand-marked optical-scan ballots with


respect to each of these threats, assuming a system of RLAs and compliance audits.

• Hacked generation PDFs leading to fraudulently placed ovals. In this case, a


change or error in the computer software can change the election outcome: on
thousands of ballots, voters place a mark next to the name of candidate A, but
(because the candidate name has been fraudulently misplaced on the paper), the
(unhacked) optical scanner records this as a vote for candidate B. But an RLA
will correct the outcome: a human, inspecting and interpreting this paper ballot,
will interpret the mark as a vote for candidate A, as the voter intended. The
RLA will, with high probability, conclude that the computer-reported election
outcome cannot be confirmed, and a full recount must occur. Thus the system
is contestable: the RLA produces public evidence that the (computer-reported)
outcome is untrustworthy. This full recount (in the presence of witnesses, in view
of the public) can provide convincing public evidence of its own correctness; that
is, the system is defensible.
• Hacked optical-scan vote counter, reporting fraudulent vote totals. In this case,
a change or error in the computer software can change the election outcome:
on thousands of ballots, voters place a mark next to the name of candidate A,
but the (hacked) optical scanner records this as a vote for candidate B. But an
RLA can detect the incorrect outcome (just as in the case above); the system
is contestable. And a full recount will produce a correct outcome with public
evidence: the system is defensible.
• Hacked election-management system (EMS), fraudulently aggregating batches.
A risk-limiting audit can detect this problem, and a recount will correct it: the
system is contestable and defensible. But actually, contestability and defensibil-
ity against this attack is even easier and simpler than RLAs and recounts. Most
voting machines (including precinct-count optical scanners) print a “results tape”
in the polling place, at the close of the polls (in addition to writing their re-
sults electronically to a removable memory card). This results tape is (typically)
signed by pollworkers and by credentialed challengers, and open to inspection
by members of the public, before it is transported (with chain-of custody pro-
tections) along with the ballot boxes to a secure central location. The County
Clerk or Registrar of Voters can (and in many counties, does) inspect these pa-
per records to verify that they correspond to the precinct-by-precinct machine-
reported aggregation. Errors (or fraud) in aggregation can be detected and cor-

rected without the need to inspect individual ballots: the system is contestable
and defensible against this class of errors.

5 End-to-end verifiable (E2E-V) systems

In all BMD systems currently on the market, and in all BMD systems certified by
the EAC, the printed ballot or ballot summary is the only channel by which voters
can verify the correct recording of their ballots, independently of the computers. The
analysis in this paper applies to all of those BMD systems.

There is a class of voting systems called “end-to-end verifiable” (E2E-V), which


provide an alternate mechanism for voters to verify their votes [7] [2]. The basic idea
of an E2E-V system is that a cryptographic protocol encodes the vote; mathematical
properties of the cryptographic system allow the voters to verify (probabilistically) that
their vote has been accurately counted, but does not compromise secret ballot by allow-
ing voters to prove how they voted. E2E-V systems have not been adopted in public
elections (except that Scantegrity was used for municipal elections in Takoma Park,
MD in 2009 and 2011).

Each E2E-V system requires its own analysis of contestability/defensibility.

Scantegrity [10] is a system of preprinted optical-scan ballots, counted by conven-


tional precinct-count optical scanners, but with an additional security feature: when the
voter fills in an oval with a special pen, the oval is mostly darkened (so it’s counted con-
ventionally by the optical scanner), but two-letter code is also revealed that the voter can
(optionally) use in the cryptographic protocol. Scantegrity is contestable/defensible,
but not because of its E2E-V properties: since it’s an add-on to a conventional optical-
scan system with hand-marked paper ballots, RLAs and compliance audits can render
this system contestable/defensible.

Prêt-à-Voter [33] is the system in which the voter separates the candidate-list from
the oval-target list after marking the ballot and before deposit into the optical scanner.
This system can be made contestable, with difficulty: the auditing procedure requires
participation of the voters in an unintuitive cryptographic challenge. It is not clear that
the system is defensible: if this cryptographic challenge proves that the blank ballots

17
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 19 of 34

have been tampered with, then no recount can reliably reconstruct the true result with
public evidence.

STAR-Vote [5] is a DRE+VVPAT system with a smart ballot box. Voters interact
with a device that captures their votes electronically and prints a paper record that
voters can inspect, but the electronic votes are held “in limbo” until the paper ballot
is deposited in the smart ballot box. The ballot box does not read the votes from the
ballot; rather, depositing the ballot tells the system that it has permission to cast the
votes it had already recorded from the touchscreen. The claimed advantage of STAR-
Vote (and other systems that use the “Benaloh challenge”) is that RLAs and ballot-box
chain-of-custody are not required in order to obtain software independence. To assure
that the E2E-V cryptographic protocol has correctly recorded each vote, the voter can
“challenge” the system to prove that the cryptographic encoding of the ballot records
the vote actually printed on the paper ballot. To do so, the voter must discard (void)
this ballot and vote a fresh ballot; this is because the challenge process reveals the vote
to the public, and a voting system must preserve the secrecy of the (cast) ballots. Thus,
the voter cannot ensure the correct encoding of their true ballot, but (since STAR-Vote
must print the ballot before knowing whether the voter will challenge), the voter can
ensure it with any desired error probability.

STAR-Vote is software independent but it is not contestable or defensible. The


reason is that, while the challenge can produce public evidence that a machine did
not accurately encrypt the plaintext vote on the ballot, if the machine prints the wrong
plaintext vote and a correct encryption of that incorrect vote, there is no evidence the
voter can use to prove that to anyone else.

No E2E-V system is currently certified by the EAC, nor to our knowledge is any
such system under review for certification, nor are any of the 5 major voting-machine
vendors offering such a system for sale.23
23
Some vendors, notably Scytl, have sold systems advertised as E2E-V in other countries. Those sys-
tems were not in fact E2E-V. Moreover, serious security flaws have been found in their implementations.
See, e.g., [22].

6 Parallel testing of BMDs

Wallach [41] has proposed (in response to earlier drafts of this paper) that contestabil-
ity/defensibility failure of BMDs could be mitigated by parallel testing, which he also
calls “live auditing.” Stark [38] has analyzed Wallach’s proposal in detail. Here we
provide a summary of the proposal and the analyses.

One might like to test each BMD before the election to make sure it’s not hacked.
Unfortunately, since the computer in a voting machine (including BMDs) has a real-
time clock, the software (including fraudulent vote-stealing software) knows whether
it’s election day or not. Fraudulent software can make sure not to cheat except on
election day.

The idea of parallel testing is to have trained auditors test the BMDs, at random
times during an actual election: use the BMD to prepare a ballot, inspect that ballot
to ensure it’s marked correctly, then discard the ballot. The same BMDs in use during
the polling will be selected, from time to time, for such test, right there in the polling
places.

If the BMDs cheat with uniform random probability p, and if the BMD cannot
distinguish an auditor from an ordinary voter, then after n random audits the probability
of detecting the malware is 1 (1 p)n . If p = 5% and n = 240, then the probability
of detection is 91%.

Unfortunately, the attacker is not constrained to cheat with uniform random prob-
ability; or, to put it another way, BMD malware may indeed be able to distinguish
auditors from ordinary voters. Stark [38] discusses many ways in which the “signa-
ture” of how auditors interact with the BMD may differ from ordinary voters, enough
to give clues to the malware about whether to cheat.24 Therefore, one cannot simply
multiply (1 p)n and calculate a probability of detection.

While auditors might try to build an accurate model of voter behavior for live au-
dits, that approach is doomed by privacy concerns and by the “curse of dimensional-
ity”: election officials would have to record every nuance of voter behavior (preferences
24
For example, BMDs do “know” their own settings and other aspects of each voting session, so
malware can use that information to target sessions that use the audio interface, increase the font size,
use the sip-and-puff interface, set the language to something other than English, or take much longer
than average to vote. (Voters who use those settings might be less likely to be believed if they report that
the equipment altered their votes.) For parallel testing to have a good chance of detecting all outcome-
changing problems, the tests must have a large chance of probing every combination of settings and
voting patterns that includes enough ballots to change any contest result. It is not practical.

19
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 21 of 34

across contests; language settings, font settings, and other UI settings; timing, includ-
ing speed of voting and hesitation; on-screen review; etc.) for million of voters to
accurately approximate voter behavior.

There are many logistical problems with “live auditing.” It would require additional
voting machines (because testing requires additional capacity), staff, infrastructure, and
other resources, on election day when professional staff is most stretched. One must
be prepared to perform the audits at the busiest times of day, even that will cause lines
of voters to lengthen, because otherwise the malware can simply cheat only at the busy
times. Live auditing must be done in view of the voters (one cannot carry the voting
machine into another room to do it), but some election officials are concerned that the
creation of test ballots in the polling place could be perceived as a threat of ballot-box
stuffing.

No state, to our knowledge has implemented parallel testing or live auditing of


BMDs.

In any case, we can assess the contestability and defensibility of parallel testing.

With a sufficiently high rate of parallel testing, and a sufficiently sophisticated ran-
domization of auditor behavior, it may be possible to make BMDs with parallel testing
contestable: an audit could detect and prove mismarking of paper ballots.

But BMDs with parallel testing is not defensible. It will be extremely difficult for
an election official to generate convincing public evidence that the audit would have
detected mismarking, if mismarking were occurring. To generate that public evidence,
the election official would have to reveal substantial detail about the parallel-testing
protocol: how, exactly, the random selection of times to test is made; how, exactly, the
random selection is made of what candidates to vote for in the tests. Revealing such
details of the protocol allows the attacker to analyze the protocol for clues about how
and when to cheat with less chance of detection.

Furthermore, parallel testing has a severe disadvantage in comparison with other


contestable/defensible paper-ballot-based voting systems: If the auditors detect that the
BMDs have mismarked a ballot—even once—the entire election must be invalidated,
and a do-over election must be held. This is because the auditor will have detected
evidence that the BMDs in this election have been systematically mismarking ballots
for some proportion of all voters. No recount of the paper ballots can correct this.

In contrast, if optical scanners are hacked to cheat on hand-marked paper ballots,

20
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 22 of 34

the correct outcome can be calculated by a full hand recount of the paper ballots.25

Wallach also suggests, instead of parallel testing, the use of spoiled-ballot rates as
a measure of BMD cheating. Suppose, when BMDs are not cheating the baseline rate
of spoiled ballots (i.e., voters asking for a “do-over” of their BMD marked ballot) is
1%. Suppose the machines are cheating on 5% of the ballots, and 6% of voters notice
this, and ask for a do-over. Then the spoiled ballot rate increases to 1.3%. The election
administrator is supposed to act upon this discrepancy. But the only meaningful action
the administrator could take is to invalidate the entire election, and call for a do-over
election. This is impractical.

Moreover, the underlying “natural” rate of spoilage will not be known exactly, and
will vary from election to election, even if the machines function flawlessly. The natural
rate might depend on the number of contests on the ballot, the complexity of voting
rules (e.g., IRV versus plurality), ballot layout, and many other factors. For any rule,
there will be a tradeoff between false alarms and failures to detect problems.

To continue the previous hypothetical, suppose that spoiled ballots follow a Poisson
distribution (there is no reason to think that they do). Imagine that the theoretical rate
is known to be 1% if the BMDs function correctly, and known to be 1.3% if the BMDs
malfunction. How many votes must be cast for it to be possible to limit the chance
of a false alarm to 1%, while ensuring a 99% chance of detecting a real problem?
The answer is 28,300 votes. If turnout is roughly 50%, jurisdictions (or contests) with
fewer than 60,000 voters could not in principle limit the chance of false positives and
of false negatives to 1%—even under these optimistic assumptions and simplifications.
Twenty-three of California’s 58 counties have fewer than 60,000 registered voters.

7 Other tradeoffs, BMDs versus hand-marked opscan

Supporters of ballot-marking devices advance several other arguments for their use.

• Mark legibility. A common argument is that a properly functioning BMD will


generate clean, error-free, unambiguous marks, while hand-marked paper bal-
lots may contain mistakes and stray marks that make it impossible to discern a
voter’s intent. However appealing this argument seems at first blush, the data
are not nearly so compelling. Experience with statewide recounts in Minnesota
25
Provided, of course, that secure chain of custody of the ballot boxes can be demonstrated.

21
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 23 of 34

and elsewhere suggest that truly ambiguous handmade marks are very rare.26 For
instance, 2.9 million hand-marked ballots were cast in the 2008 Minnesota race
between Al Franken and Norm Coleman for the U.S. Senate. In a manual re-
count, between 99.95% and 99.99% of ballots were unambiguously marked.27 28
In addition, usability studies of hand-marked bubble ballots—the kind in most
common use in U.S. elections—indicate a voter error rate of 0.6%, much lower
than the 2.5–3.7% error rate for machine-marked ballots [17].29 Thus, mark leg-
ibility is not a good reason to adopt BMDs for all voters.
• Undervotes, overvotes. Another argument offered for BMDs is that the ma-
chines can alert voters to undervotes and prevent overvotes. That is true, but
modern PCOS systems can also alert a voter to overvotes and undervotes, allow-
ing a voter to eject the ballot and correct it.
• Bad ballot design. Ill-designed paper ballots, just like ill-designed touchscreen
interfaces, may lead to unintentional undervotes [25]. For instance, the 2006
Sarasota, Florida, touchscreen ballot was badly designed. The 2018 Broward
County, Florida, opscan ballot was badly designed: it violated three separate
guidelines from the EAC’s 2007 publication, “Effective Designs for the Admin-
istration of Federal Elections, Section 3: Optical scan ballots.” [40] In both of
these cases (touchscreens in 2006, hand-marked optical-scan in 2018), under-
vote rates were high. The solution is to follow standard, published ballot-design
guidelines and other best practices, both for touchscreens and for hand-marked
ballots [3, 25].
• Low-tech paper-ballot fraud. All paper ballots, however they are marked, are
vulnerable to loss, ballot-box stuffing, alteration, and substitution between the
time they are cast and the time they are recounted. That’s why it is so important
26
States do need clear and complete regulations for interpreting voter marks.
27
“During the recount, the Coleman and Franken campaigns initially challenged a total of 6,655
ballot-interpretation decisions made by the human recounters. The State Canvassing Board asked the
campaigns to voluntarily withdraw all but their most serious challenges, and in the end approximately
1,325 challenges remained. That is, approximately 5 ballots in 10,000 were ambiguous enough that one
side or the other felt like arguing about it. The State Canvassing Board, in the end, classified all but
248 of these ballots as votes for one candidate or another. That is, approximately 1 ballot in 10,000 was
ambiguous enough that the bipartisan recount board could not determine an intent to vote.” [1] See also
[26]
28
We have found that some local election officials consider marks to be ambiguous if machines cannot
read the marks. That is a different issue from humans being unable to interpret the marks. Errors in ma-
chine interpretation of voter intent can be dealt with by manual audits: if the reported outcome is wrong
because machines misinterpreted handmade marks, a RLA has a known, large chance of correcting the
outcome.
29
Better designed user interfaces (UI) might reduce the error rate for machine-marked ballots below
the historical rate for DREs; however, UI improvements cannot keep BMDs from printing something
other than what the voter is shown on the screen.

22
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 24 of 34

to make sure that ballot boxes are always in multiple-person (preferably biparti-
san) custody whenever they are handled, and that appropriate physical security
measures are in place. Strong, verifiable chain-of-custody protections are essen-
tial.
Hand-marked paper ballots are vulnerable to alteration by anyone with a pen.
Both hand-marked and BMD-marked paper ballots are vulnerable to substitution:
anyone who has poorly supervised access to a legitimate BMD during election
day can create fraudulent ballots, not necessarily to deposit them in the ballot box
immediately (in case the ballot box is well supervised on election day) but with
the hope of substituting it later in the chain of custody.30
All those attacks (on hand-marked and on BMD-marked paper ballots) are
fairly low-tech. There are also higher-tech ways of producing ballots indistin-
guishable from BMD-marked ballots for substitution into the ballot box if there
is inadequate chain-of-custody protection.
• Accessible voting technology. When hand-marked paper ballots are used with
PCOS, there is (as required by law) also an accessible voting technology avail-
able in the polling place for voters unable to mark a paper ballot with a pen. This
is typically a BMD or a DRE. When the accessible voting technology is not the
same as what most voters vote on—when it is used by very few voters—it may
happen that the accessible technology is ill-maintained or even (in some polling
places) not even properly set up by pollworkers. This is a real problem. One
proposed solution is to require all voters to use the same BMD or all-in-one tech-
nology. But the failure of some election officials to properly maintain their acces-
sible equipment is not a good reason to adopt BMDs for all voters. Among other
things, it would expose all voters to the security flaws described above.31 Other
advocates object to the idea that disabled voters must use a different method of
marking ballots, arguing that their rights are thereby violated. Both HAVA and
ADA require reasonable accommodations for voters with physical and cognitive
impairments, but neither law requires that those accommodations must be used
by all voters. To best enable and facilitate participation by all voters, each voter
should be provided with a means of casting a vote best suited to their abilities.
• Ballot printing costs. Preprinted optical-scan ballots cost 20–50 cents each.32
30
Some BMDs print a barcode indicating when and where the ballot was produced, but that does not
prevent such a substitution attack against currently EAC-certified, commercially available BMDs. We
understand that systems under development might make ballot-substitution attacks against BMDs more
difficult.
31
Also, some accessibility advocates argue that requiring disabled voters to use BMDs compromises
their privacy since hand-marked ballots are easily distinguishable from machine marked ballots. That
issue can be addressed without BMDs-for-all: Accessible BMDs are already available and in use that
mark ballots with marks that cannot easily be distinguished from hand-marked ballots.
32
Single-sheet (one- or two-side) ballots cost 20-28 cents; double-sheet ballots needed for elections

23
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 25 of 34

Blank cards for BMDs cost up to 15 cents each, depending on the make and
model of BMD.33 But optical-scan ballots must be preprinted for as many vot-
ers as might show up, whereas blank BMD cards are consumed in proportion
to how many voters do show up. The Open Source Election Technology Insti-
tute (OSET) conducted an independent study of total life cycle costs34 for hand-
marked paper ballots and BMDs in conjunction with the 2019 Georgia legislative
debate regarding BMDs [27]. OSET concluded that, even in the most optimistic
(i.e., lowest cost) scenario for BMDs and the most pessimistic (i.e, highest cost)
scenario for hand-marked paper ballots and ballot-on-demand (BOD) printers—
which can print unmarked ballots as needed—the total lifecycle costs for BMDs
would be higher than the corresponding costs for hand-marked paper ballots.35
• Vote centers. To run a vote center that serves many election districts with dif-
ferent ballot styles, one must be able to provide each voter a ballot containing
the contests that voter is eligible to vote in, possibly in a number of different
languages. This is easy with BMDs, which can be programmed with all the ap-
propriate ballot definitions. With preprinted optical-scan ballots, the PCOS can
be programmed to accept many different ballot styles, but the vote center must
still maintain inventory of many different ballots. BOD printers are another eco-
nomical alternative for vote centers.36
• Paper/storage. BMDs that print summary cards rather than full-face ballots can
save paper and storage space. However, many BMDs print full-face ballots—so
they do not save storage—while many BMDs that print summary cards (which
could save storage) use thermal printers and paper that is fragile and can fade in
a few months.37
with many contests cost up to 50 cents.
33
Ballot cards for ES&S ExpressVote cost about 15 cents. New Hampshire’s (One4All / Prime III)
BMDs used by sight-impaired voters use plain paper that is less expensive.
34
They include not only the cost of acquiring and implementing systems but also the ongoing licens-
ing, logistics, and operating (purchasing paper stock, printing, and inventory management) costs.
35
BOD printers currently on the market arguably are best suited for vote centers, but less expensive
options suited for polling places could be developed. Indeed, BMDs that print full-face ballots could be
re-purposed as BOD printers for polling place use, with modest changes to the programming.
36
Ballot-on-demand printers may require maintenance such as replacement of toner cartridges. This is
readily accomplished at a vote center with a professional staff. Ballot-on-demand printers may be a less
attractive option for many small precincts on election day, where there is no professional staff—but on
the other hand, they are less necessary, since far fewer ballot styles will be needed in any one precinct.
37
The California Top-To-Bottom Review (TTBR) of voting systems found that thermal pa-
per can also be covertly spoiled wholesale using common household chemicals https://
votingsystems.cdn.sos.ca.gov/oversight/ttbr/red-diebold.pdf, last
visited 8 April 2019. The fact that thermal paper printing can fade or deteriorate
rapidly might mean it does not satisfy the federal requirement to preserve voting materi-
als for 22 months. http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:

Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 26 of 34

Advocates of hand-marked paper ballot systems advance these additional argu-


ments.

• Cost. Using BMDs for all voters substantially increases the cost of acquiring,
configuring, and maintaining the voting system. One PCOS can serve 1200 vot-
ers in a day, while one BMD can serve only about 260 [34]—though both these
numbers vary greatly depending on the length of the ballot and the length of the
day. OSET analyzed the relative costs of acquiring BMDs for Georgia’s nearly
seven million registered voters versus a system of hand-marked paper ballots,
scanners, and BOD printers [27]. A BMD solution for Georgia would cost tax-
payers between 3 and 5 times more than a system based on hand-marked paper
ballots. Open-source systems might eventually shift the economics, but current
commercial universal-use BMD systems are more expensive than systems that
use hand-marked paper ballots for most voters.
• Mechanical reliability and capacity. Pens are likely to have less downtime than
BMDs. It is easy and inexpensive to get more pens and privacy screens when
additional capacity is needed. If a precinct-count scanner goes down, people
can still mark ballots with a pen; if the BMD goes down, voting stops. Thermal
printers used in DREs with VVPAT are prone to jams; those in BMDs might have
similar flaws.

These secondary pros and cons of BMDs do not outweigh the primary security and
accuracy concern: BMDs, if hacked or erroneously programmed, can change votes in
a way that is not correctable. BMD voting systems are not contestable or defensible.
Audits that rely on BMD printout cannot make up for this defect in the paper trail: they
cannot reliably detect or correct problems that altered election outcomes.

Barcodes

A controversial feature of some BMDs allows them to print 1-dimensional or 2-dimen-


sional barcodes on the paper ballots. A 1-dimensional barcode resembles the pat-
tern of vertical lines used to identify products by their universal product codes. A
2-dimensional barcode or QR code is a rectangular area covered in coded image mod-
ules that encode more complex patterns and information. BMDs print barcodes on the
same paper ballot that contains human-readable ballot choices. Voters using BMDs
are expected to verify the human-readable printing on the paper ballot card, but the
presence of barcodes with human-readable text poses some significant problems.
April 2019.

25
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 27 of 34

• Barcodes are not human readable. The whole purpose of a paper ballot is to be
able to recount (or audit) the voters’ votes in a way independent of any (possibly
hacked or buggy) computers. If the official vote on the ballot card is the barcode,
then it is impossible for the voters to verify that the official vote they cast is the
vote they expressed. Therefore, before a state even considers using BMDs that
print barcodes (and we do not recommend doing so), the State must ensure by
statute that recounts and audits are based only on the human-readable portion of
the paper ballot. Even so, audits based on untrustworthy paper trails suffer from
the verifiability the problems outlined above.
• Ballot cards with barcodes contain two different votes. Suppose a state does
ensure by statute that recounts and audits are based on the human-readable por-
tion of the paper ballot. Now a BMD-marked ballot card with both barcodes
and human-readable text contains two different votes in each contest: the bar-
code (used for electronic tabulation), and the human-readable selection printout
(official for audits and recounts). In few (if any) states has there even been a dis-
cussion of the legal issues raised when the official markings to be counted differ
between the original count and a recount.
• Barcodes pose technical risks. Any coded input into a computer system—
including wired network packets, WiFi, USB thumbdrives, and barcodes—pose
the risk that the input-processing software can be vulnerable to attack via deliber-
ately ill-formed input. Over the past two decades, many such vulnerabilities have
been documented on each of these channels (including barcode readers) that, in
the worst case, give the attacker complete control of a system.38 If an attacker
were able to compromise a BMD, the barcodes are an attack vector for the at-
tacker to take over an optical scanner (PCOS or CCOS), too. Since it is good
practice to close down all such unneeded attack vectors into PCOS or CCOS vot-
ing machines (e.g., don’t connect your PCOS to the Internet!), it is also good
practice to avoid unnecessary attack channels such as barcodes.

8 Insecurity of All-in-One BMDs

Some voting machines incorporate a BMD interface, printer, and optical scanner into
the same cabinet. Other DRE+VVPAT voting machines incorporate ballot-marking,
tabulation, and paper-printout retention, but without scanning. These are often called
38
An example of a barcode attack is based on the fact that many commercial barcode-scanner compo-
nents (which system integrators use to build cash registers or voting machines) treat the barcode scanner
using the same operating-system interface as if it were a keyboard device; and then some operating
systems allow “keyboard escapes” or “keyboard function keys” to perform unexpected operations.

26
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 28 of 34

“all-in-one” voting machines. To use an all-in-one machine, the voter makes choices
on a touchscreen or through a different accessible interface. When the selections are
complete, the BMD prints the completed ballot for the voter to review and verify, before
depositing the ballot in a ballot box attached to the machine.

Such machines are especially unsafe: like any BMD described in Section 3 they are
not contestable or defensible, but in addition, if hacked they can print votes onto the
ballot after the voter last inspects the ballot.

• The ES&S ExpressVote (in all-in-one mode) allows the voter to mark a ballot by
touchscreen or audio interface, then prints a paper ballot card and ejects it from a
slot. The voter has the opportunity to review the ballot, then the voter redeposits
the ballot into the same slot, where it is scanned and deposited into a ballot box.
• The ES&S ExpressVoteXL allows the voter to mark a ballot by touchscreen or
audio interface, then prints a paper ballot and displays it under glass. The voter
has the opportunity to review the ballot, then the voter touches the screen to
indicate “OK,” and the machine pulls paper ballot up (still under glass) and into
the integrated ballot box.
• The Dominion ImageCast Evolution (ICE) allows the voter to deposit a hand-
marked paper ballot, which it scans and drops into the attached ballot box. Or,
a voter can use a touchscreen or audio interface to direct the marking of a paper
ballot, which the voting machine ejects through a slot for review; then the voter
redeposits the ballot into the slot, where it is scanned and dropped into the ballot
box.

In all three of these machines, the ballot-marking printer is in the same paper path
as the mechanism to deposit marked ballots into an attached ballot box. This opens up
a very serious security vulnerability: the voting machine can mark the paper ballot (to
add votes or spoil already-cast votes) after the last time the voter sees the paper, and
then deposit that marked ballot into the ballot box without the possibility of detection.

Vote-stealing software could easily be constructed that looks for undervotes on the
ballot, and marks those unvoted spaces for the candidate of the hacker’s choice. This
is very straightforward to do on optical-scan bubble ballots (as on the Dominion ICE)
where undervotes are indicated by no mark at all. On machines such as the ExpressVote
and ExpressVoteXL, the normal software indicates an undervote with the words NO
SELECTION MADE on the ballot summary card. Hacked software could simply leave
a blank space there (most voters wouldn’t notice the difference), and then fill in that
space and add a matching bar code after the voter has clicked “cast this ballot.”

An even worse feature of the ES&S ExpressVote and the Dominion ICE is the auto-

27
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 29 of 34

cast configuration setting (in the manufacturer’s standard software) that allows the voter
to indicate, “don’t eject the ballot for my review, just print it and cast it without me
looking at it.” If fraudulent software were installed in the ExpressVote, it could change
all the votes of any voter who selected this option, because the voting machine software
would know in advance of printing that the voter had waived the opportunity to inspect
the printed ballot. We call this auto-cast feature “permission to cheat” [4].

Regarding these all-in-one machines, we conclude:

• Any machine with ballot printing in the same paper path with ballot deposit is
not software independent; it is not the case that “an error or fault in the voting
system software or hardware cannot cause an undetectable change in election
results.” Therefore such all-in-one machines do not comply with the VVSG 2.0
(the Election Assistance Commission’s Voluntary Voting Systems Guidelines).
Such machines are not contestable or defensible, either.
• All-in-one machines on which all voters use the BMD interface to mark their
ballots (such as the ExpressVote and ExpressVoteXL) also suffer from the same
serious problem as ordinary BMDs: most voters do not review their ballots ef-
fectively, and elections on these machines are not contestable or defensible.
• The auto-cast option for a voter to allow the paper ballot to be cast without human
inspection is particularly dangerous, and states must insist that vendors disable
or eliminate this mode from the software. However, even disabling the auto-cast
feature does not eliminate the risk of undetected vote manipulation.

Remark. The Dominion ImageCast Precinct ICP320 is a precinct-count optical scan-


ner (PCOS) that also contains an audio+buttons ballot-marking interface for disabled
voters. This machine can be configured to cast electronic-only ballots from the BMD
interface, or an external printer can be attached to print paper optical-scan ballots from
the BMD interface. When the external printer is used, that printer’s paper path is not
connected to the scanner+ballot-box paper path (a person must take the ballot from the
printer and deposit it into the scanner slot). Therefore this machine is as safe to use as
any PCOS with a separate external BMD.

9 Conclusion

Ballot-Marking Devices produce ballots that do not necessarily record the vote ex-
pressed by the voter when they enter their selections on the touchscreen: hacking, bugs,
and configuration errors can cause the BMDs to print votes that differ from what the

28
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-8 Filed 11/25/20 Page 30 of 34

voter entered and verified electronically. Because outcome-changing errors in BMD


printout do not produce public evidence, BMD systems are not contestable. Because
there is no way to generate convincing public evidence that reported outcomes are cor-
rect despite any BMD malfunctions that might have occurred, BMD systems are not
defensible. Therefore, BMDs should not be used by voters who can hand mark paper
ballots.

All-in-one voting machines, which combine ballot-marking and ballot-box-deposit


into the same paper path, are even worse. They have all the disadvantages of BMDs
(they are not contestable or defensible), and they can mark the ballot after the voter has
inspected it. Therefore they are not even software independent, and should not be used
by those voters who are capable of marking, handling, and visually inspecting a paper
ballot.

When computers are used to record votes, the original transaction (the voter’s ex-
pression of the votes) is not documented in a verifiable way.39 When pen-and-paper is
used to record the vote, the original expression of the vote is documented in a verifiable
way (if demonstrably secure chain of custody of the paper ballots is maintained). Audits
of elections conducted with hand-marked paper ballots, counted by optical scanners,
can ensure that reported election outcomes are correct. Audits of elections conducted
with BMDs cannot ensure that reported outcomes are correct.

It is conceivable that cryptographic protocols like those used in E2E-V systems could be used to
create BMD-based systems that are contestable and defensible, but no such system exists, nor, to our
knowledge, has such a design been worked out in principle. Existing E2E-V systems that use a computer
to print (encrypted) selections are neither contestable nor defensible, as explained in Section 1.

1.1 am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify herein. I have

personal knowledge ofthe matters stated herein.

2.1 am a Florida Bar licensed paralegal.

3.1 am a registered Democrat.

4.1 was interested in the election process in this country and wanted to be an

observer in the Georgia recount process.

5. On Monday, November 16, 2020, I presented myself to Cobb County Poll

Precinct located at 2245 Callaway Road SW, Marietta, OA. I was able to be

on the floor observing the recount process in Room C. I observed the poll

workers not calling out verbally the names on each ballot. They simply

passed each ballot to each other in silence.

6. It was of particular interest to me that hundreds ofthese ballots seemed

impeccable, with no folds or creases. The bubble selections were perfectly

made (all within the circle), only observed selections in black ink, and all

happened to be selections for Biden.

7. It was also of particular interest to me to see that signatures were not being

verified and there were no corresponding envelopes seen in site.

8. At one point in time, while on the floor, I overheard a woman tell someone

else that they should keep an eye on the guy with a blue blazer and a pocket

square, that he was not allowed to come on the floor and observe past the

yellow tape. They also kept an eye on him as he took photographs and video

of some boxes being stored on a rack. Shortly thereafter, I observed a police

officer standing at the door. I had not observed a police officer present up

until that moment. They began to walk towards him to stop him as he was

photographing those boxes, but at that point, he walked away from that area.

9. Based on my observations, I believe there was fraud was committed in the

presidential election and question the validity of the Georgia recount

process.

AFFIDAVIT OF NICHOLAS J. ZEHER IN SUPPORT OF


PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

I, Nicholas J. Zeher, declare under penalty of perjury that the following is

true and correct:

1. I am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify herein. I have personal

know ledge of the matters stated herein.

2. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Florid


a.
3. On Sunday November 15, 2020 Alyssa Specht appointed me
to serve as a
Monitor for the duration of the Risk Limiting Audit in DeKalb
County (the
"DeKalb Appointment Letter"). A true and accurate copy of the

appointment letter is attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit "A."

4. On Sunday at around 12:30 p.m., I showed up to 2994 Turne


r Hill Road,
Stonecrest, Georgia 30038 to begin observing as a Monitor.
Prior to my
arrival, I was sent a handout titled "Audit/Recount Monitor and
Vote Review
Panel Handout" which outlined the rules in place as well
as provided
guidelines for observation. A true and accurate copy of the Audit
/Recount
Monitor and Vote Review Panel Handout is attached to this
Affidavit as
Exhibit "B."

5. After signing in and providing the DeKalb appointment letter


to the check-
in desk, I was permitted to roam throughout the facility
to conduct
observations.

6. The first thing I noticed was signs taped to each table (the "Revi
ew Table"
or "Review Tables") indicated a place for ballots for Trump,
Biden, and
Jorgenson and other signs for "Blanks" (no vote for President)
or overvotes
(multiple votes for President). At each Review Table were
two people

manually reviewing each ballot (the "Recounter"). The first Recounter

would pick up the ballot and orally announce which candidate the ballot was

cast for. The first Recounter would then pass the ballot to the second

Recounter who would again orally announce which candidate the ballot was

cast for. The ballot was subsequently placed in the pile designated for that

candidate as discussed above.

7. Due to the COVID restrictions, we were instructed to stay a minimum of


six

feet away from any Recounter sitting at one of the Review Tables.

8. The ballots would be brought to the Review Table in a cardboard box


by
another worker. I was never able to get close enough to read any writing on

any of the cardboard boxes. After the carboard box was opened, stacks of

ballots were removed and placed on the Review Table. There were notes on

each stack but again, I was never able to get close enough to read what was

written.

9. Once the stack of ballots was on the Review Table, the process of reviewi
ng
the ballot began in the manner outlined above in paragraph 6.

10. At no time did I witness any Recounter or any individual participating


in

the recount verifying signatures.

11. If one of the Recounters encountered a ballot that was questionable, he or

she raised a piece of paper with a "?" and what seemed to be a supervisor

would come to that Review Table. A short conversation was had and the

supervisor would provide the Recounters with instructions. Again, I was

never able to get close enough to hear what was said.

12.When a Review Table completed reviewing a cardboard box full of ballots,

one of the Recounters would write some information (I assume it was the

number of ballots for each candidate the box contained) on a piece of paper

and place it on top of the cardboard box. Then one of the Recounters would

hold a piece of paper with a (check mark) on it in the air and someone

would come pick up the box full of ballots.

13.There was no person verifying the number of votes that the Recounter would

write on the paper.

14.At one point, I was able to get close enough to a Review Table to see the

ballots and the markings on them. It was strange-there were many ballots

where just Joseph Biden was filled in and no other candidate whatsoever.

15.At another table, I watched the Recounters pull out a stack of ballots that

appeared to be strange too. The bubble filled out for Joseph Biden looked

to be a perfect black mark.

16.I spoke to other Observers present that day and they had witnessed the same

thing. Other Observes also informed me that fellow Observers were

removed for getting too close to the Review Tables. That when they would

get close enough to see what was actually filled in on the ballot, one of the

Recounters would begin making a big scene and call over a supervisor. The

supervisor would then remove the Monitor permanently.

17.While in DeKalb County, I saw a lot of hostility towards Republicans and

none towards Democrats.

18. On the evening of November 15, 2020, Alyssa Specht appointed me as an

Monitor in Henry County for the whole duration of the Risk Limiting Audit

("Henry County Appointment Letter"). A true and accurate copy of the

Henry County Appointment Letter is attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit

"C."

19. I arrived at 562 Industrial Boulevard, McDonough, Georgia 30253 at

around 9:30 a.m.

20. When I entered the building, I was halted by a woman at the door who

immediately informed me that I was not needed and that all the position had

been filled. At this time, the woman neither asked who I was nor why I was

present. I asked this woman to speak to the person in charge.

21. Within a few seconds, I was greeted by Ameika Pitts ("Ms. Pitts"), Henry

Country's Elections Director. Ms. Pitts informed me that my assistance was

not needed, and I was free to go. Again, this was told to me prior to her

asked why I was there and who I was.

22.I then pulled the Henry County Appointment Letter up on my phone and

presented it to her. Ms. Pitts immediately told me that I was not able to have

my phone inside the building even though the recount was allegedly being

"live streamed." After a brief conversation, I send Ms. Pitts a copy of the

letter and was permitted to enter the building, but only in the public

observation area.

23 .Fortunately, after speaking to several Republican Party volunteers, MS. Pitts

was provided my name from the Henry County Republican Chairwoman

and I was permitted to enter into the observation area.

24. Once inside the observation area, I saw that it was set up very similar to

DeKalb County with the Review Tables having the same designations and

each Review table having two Recounters as described in paragraph 6 above.

25 .As I began walking around, I noticed several differences between DeKalb

County and Henry County. In Henry County, the ballots were brought to

each Review Table in a red, plastic box with security ties used to hold the

box closed. Those ties were cut, and the ballots were then removed and

placed on top of the Review Table in stacks that were wrapped in a rubber

bands and had a pink sticky note on each stack which displayed the number

of ballots each stack contained. The Recounter would then remove the

rubber band and sticky note and begin counting the same was described in

paragraph 6 above.

26.At around 12:05 p.m. I was observing table "G" when the two recount

workers sorted a pile of ballots that had a note which said "93" as the number

of ballots. When the two workers finished sorting and counting the ballots,

there were only 92. The director of the election committee, Ms. Pitts came

to the two workers and simply signed a separate sheet of paper saying that

there were only 92 ballots. Ms. Pitts never recounted to make sure. This

happened several times and Ms. Pitts informed us that she has been directed

to just sign off on the number of ballots the recount worker said was there.

27. While in Henry County, I personally witnessed ballots cast for Donald

Trump being placed in the pile for Joseph Biden. I witnessed this happen at

table "A."

28 .I interviewed a few Observers that same day who informed me that on

multiple occasions, Recounters at tables "A," "B," "G," and "O" were seen

placing ballots cast for Donald Trump placed in the pile for Joseph Bi den.

When this was brought to Ms. Pitts attention, it was met with extreme

hostility. At no time did I witness any ballot cast for Joseph Biden be placed

in the pile for Donald Trump.

29. Based on my personal observations, I believe that additional absentee

ballots were cast for Donald Trump but counted for Joseph Biden. I further

believe that there was widespread fraud favoring Joseph Bi den. This is my

personal experience.

Audit Teams Responsibilities

When reviewing a ballot and determining the voter's mark, audit boards
must consider "if the elector
has marked his or her ballot in such a manner that he or she has indicated
clearly and without question
the candidate for whom he or she desires to cast his or her vote." O.C.G.A.
21-2-438(c}.

As a batch is delivered from the check-in/out station:


• Record the County Name, Batch Name, and Batch Type (Absentee, Advance
d Voting,
Provisional, Election Day}, and verify the container was sealed on the Audit
Board Batch Sheet.

• Unseal the container.


• Recount the Ballots using the "Sort and Stack
" method:
o Pull the ballots out of the container and
stack neatly on the table.
If the container contains more than 1000
ballots, ballots should be removed
from the container and sorted in manageab
le stacks (using an Audit Board Batch
Sheet for each stack), leaving the rest of
the ballots in the container until the
previous stack is done.
For each ballot: audit board member (ABM
) #1 picks up a single ballot from the
stack and reads the vote for the Presidentia
l contest aloud, then hands the
ballot to ABM #2. ABM #2 verifies the vote
that is on the ballot is indeed what
ABM #1 read, then places the ballot in the
"stack" that corresponds to the vote.
ABM #1 should watch to make sure the ballot
is placed in the right stack. There
will be 8 stacks as follows:
• Trump
• Biden
• Jorgensen
• Overvoted ballots - one pile for any ballot
where the voter made more
than one selection for President.
• Blank/Undervoted ballots - one pile for any
ballot where the voter made
no selection for President.
• Write-In - one pile for any ballot conta
ining a write-in vote for President.
(The board does *NOT* need to determine
whether the write-in is for a
qualified candidate: the Vote Review Pane
l does that.)
• Duplicated ballots - one pile for ballots mark
ed as duplicated.
• Undetermined - one pile for any ballot where
the audit board cannot
agree on the voter's intent.
Candidate Ballot Tallies - Count the ballot
s in each stack by having one member
of the audit board verbally count the ballot
while handing· it to the other
member for verification. Count the ballot
s in groups of 10, stacking the groups
at right angles to each other, so you can
easily count the complete groups when
you are done. (For instance, if you have seven
groups of 10 ballots each plus an
extra 3 ballots, the total tally would be 73.)
Record the total tally for each
candidate on the Audit Board Batch Shee
t.
Write-In, Duplicated, and Undetermined
Ballots - count the ballots in the write-
in duplicated, and undetermined ballot piles
and record on the Audit Board
Batch Sheet. Each type should go in a desig
nated folder or envelope by batch.
o Write-in, Duplicated, and Undetermined
ballot folders must be set aside for delive
the Vote Review Panel. ry to
o Return the other ballots to the origin
al container and seal the container.
o Sign the Audit Board Batch Sheet.
o Raiseyour check mark sign for the check
-in/out station to come retrieve your conta
batch sheet, and any ballots for the Vote iner,
Review Panel.

2. I am a poll manager at Precinct SS02 A and B (Sandy Springs). The Fulton

County Board of Elections ("BOE") sent an email soliciting poll managers

and assistant poll managers for the purpose of participating in the "hand

count" audit of votes cast in the November 3, 2020 presidential election. I

accepted the assignment.

3. My direct supervisor, Marie Wright, asked me ifl could confirm that I could

show up to participate as an auditor in the recount from Saturday, November

14 until Wednesday, November 18, 2020. I was told that it was a

requirement of the accepting the assignment to be available from 7:00 a.m.

until 5:00 p.m on each of those five days. I was to b'e"paid $200 per day.

4. The BOE also solicited Fulton County employees generally, such as workers

from the public libraries. Most had no election experience (other than

perhaps voting themselves).

5. On Saturday at 7:00 a.m., I showed up to the Georgia World Congress Center

at 285 Andrew Young International Blvd. in downtown Atlanta. We had to

watch a very short training video (probably less than 5 minutes) -- there was

no audio, but there were captions. I watched it three times to ensure I had

captured all the information, but there were . some· things that were not

covered, like what an auditor should do ifhe or she saw matters of concern.

I did not see any helpful written materials on that issue.

6. We were required to sign an oath saying that we would conduct an audit

impartially and fairly to the best of our ability, and were told that if we did

anything wrong we would have to go before the State Board of Elections.

7. The BOE did not appear to have standardized operating procedures for the
' '

conduct of the audit. Everything was in total, disarray at the counting

location. The organizers did not have sufficient tables· for all the committed

volunteers. (When I arrived at 7:00 a.m., 134 tables were set up and I was

assigned to table 136; ultimately, I believe 170 tables were set up.)

8. Counting began shortly after 7:00 a.m., as best as I could tell, but we were

held to the side. After 90 minutes of counting had passed, we were assigned

a table from additional tables that had been brought into the counting area.

9. Signs taped to the table indicated a place for ballots for Trump, Biden, and

Jorgenson and to make a separate pile for "Blank~''(no vote for President)

or overvotes (multiple votes for President). One person was to pick up the

ballot and state the vote out loud, and the other ~as to confirm that selection

and place the ballot in the appropriate location.

IO.After counting, we were instructed to pick up each individual "pile" and

count the ballots in each pile and place them in alternating stacks of IO each.

After counting the final tally, we were instructed to compare the number

with the original number from the opening tally sheet. (The tally sheet

provided a road map to the number that was needed to reconcile with the

original reported results.)

I I.We began counting around 9:00 a.m. We were given a tally sheet to record
. .
our findings, and manila envelopes for write-in candidates and disputed

ballots. Again, we were not given any information or standards on how to

interpret spoiled ballots or other discrepancies.

12.We noticed that the supervisors seemed selective as to how to allocate the

assignments. For our first assignment, we were given a cardboard box that

contained only absentee ballots. It was taped shut with packing tape with

the seal of the Secretary of State. But the seal was blank, signed by no one,

and no information had been supplied. There were no markings indicating

the provenance of the box. The box was marked as Box No. 5 -Absentee-

Batch Numbers 28-36.

13.Inside the box were stacks of ballots of approximately I 00 ballots each.

Each stack contained an original tally sheet that said ·the location where the

ballots were picked up. I am assuming these ballots came from the pervasive

ballot boxes that had been placed throughout F~lton ~ounty.

14.Most of the ballots had already been handled; they had been written on by

people, and the edges were worn. They showed obvious use. However, one

batch stood out. It was pristine. There was a difference in the texture of the

paper - it was if they were intended for absentee use but had not been used

for that purposes. There was a difference in the feel.

15.These different ballots included a slight depressed pre-fold so they could be

easily folded and unfolded for use in the scanning.machines. There were no

markings on the ballots to show where they had com~ from, or where they

had been processed. These stood out.

16.In my 20 years' of experience of handling ballots: I observed that the

markings for the candidates on these ballots ·were unusually uniform,

perhaps even with a ballot-marking device. By my estimate in observing

these ballots, approximately 98% constituted votes fo~ Joseph Biden. I only

observed two of these ballots as votes for President Donald J. Trump.

17.We left at approximately 4:45 on Saturday. There will still much to be done.

We were told to come back on Sunday. It was estimated at that time that the

ballot recount would not be completed until Monday. evening at the earliest

-that's how many ballots were left.

18.On our way out, we spoke to a GWCC officer and thanked him for being

there and his service. We asked him if he would be leaving shortly, and he

said he was not scheduled to leave until 11:00 p.m. At that point, other

officers would come and guard the room from 11:00 p.m. to 7 :00 a.m.

19.On Sunday morning we arrived at approximately 6:45 a.m. Initially, the fact

that there were so few auditors in the room indic~te·d that others were just

late. However, by 7: 15 a.m., we realized that because so few additional

auditors had arrived, there would not be a lot of auditors present for the

Sunday count.

20.lnterestingly, we were told to go back to our original table. Even though the
} ' ·. . . '.)
room was sparsely occupied, we were surrounded with two auditors

immediately in front of us and two auditors 1inmediately behind us. We

began to notice a greater disparity in the distribution of workloads. Although

the auditing tables surrounding us arrived later, they were assigned large

boxes of ballots before we were given. When our box arrived - after a 45

minute wait - I opened the ballot box to find only 60 ballots from the Quality

Living Center in South Atlanta, a men's housing ~acility for recovering

addicts. The other auditing tables received boxes with over 3,000 ballots

each.

21.After we completed our first ballot box, we raised our "check card" for more
'· ..

ballots. After waiting for an extended period, ·we were told our assistance

was no longer needed and thanked for our work. We were told to go home.

22. We offered to help on some larger piles that were still evident, and the

officials present were adamant that they did not need· any help. I sat at the

table for a while longer and noticed how other auditors were treated. We

were explicitly told we could not have drinks or food of any kind on the table

-- that was understandable. The people behind usand in front of us however


·..
had open water bottles, breakfast burritos supplied by the BOE, and snacks

on their table.

23 .Also, those tables were not counting as a team, with a pass-off from one to

the other. Each auditor was counting individually. The purpose of the pass-

off was to make sure that each auditor agreed that the call for each ballot

was accurate.

24. This recount process was consistent with... the· lack of preparation,

contingency plans, and proper procedures that I e~perienced in this unusual

election. For example, in the setup for Election Day, we typically receive

the machines - the ballot marking devices -:-on the Friday before the
' ' • I

election, with a chain of custody letter to be signed on Sunday, indicating


I \,, •

that we had received the machines and the counts on the machines when

received, and that the machines have been sealed. In this case, we were

asked to sign the chain of custody letter on Sunday, even though the

machines were not delivered until 2:00 a.m. in the morning on Election Day.

The Milton precinct received its machines at 1:00 a.m. in the morning on

Election Day. This is unacceptable and voting, machines should not be out

of custody immediately prior to an Election Day. It is possible that these

ballot marking devices could have been used for other purposes during that

period.

25. When I was asked to sign the chain of custody fett.er,I only signed the letter

with the added language to state that I was accepting chain of custody for

equipment, BMDs, and pole pads that had not been delivered.

26.My precinct should have received the poll pads oii Sunday and should have

been able to store them inside the ballot marking devices. We could not do

that, since we did not receive the ballot marking devices in a timely manner.

27.When we did receive the machines, they were not sealed or locked, the serial

numbers were not what were reflected on the related documentation, and the

memory card was broken. The supervisor told us to use the machines in that

condition. As a poll manager of over 20 years, _I knew this was not the

standard operating procedure for the BMDs and therefore I did not put them

into service.

28.1 believe my honesty in this affidavit will lead to my arrangement as a poll

worker in Fulton County being compromised. ·However, the BOE

operations were sloppy and led me, in the case of at least one box I reviewed,

to believe that additional absentee ballots had been added in a fraudulent

manner. This is my personal experience.

I, Ibrahim Reyes, declare under penalty of perjury that the following is true

and correct:

1. My name is Ibrahim Reyes. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the

State of Florida since 2002, my office address is 236 Valencia Avenue, Coral

Gables, FL 33134, and my email address is ireyes@reyeslawyers.com.

2.1 am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify herein. I have personal

knowledge ofthe matters stated herein.

3.1 volimteered to assist in the manual recount in the State of Georgia and was

assigned to work as a Monitor and as a member ofthe Vote Review Panel.

4. On November 16, 2020,1 went to Clayton County from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00

P.M.

5.1 identified myself as a Monitor and Vote Review Panel associated with the

Republican Party, and the person in charge ofthe Clayton County precinct, Erica

Johnston, said that I could not be present on the floor until I received a badge

with my name,that it would be printed shortly, within thirty minutes, but could

stand in the observers area, away from the counting tables.

6.1 did not receive my identification badge until three hours, so I was prevented

from acting as a Monitor all morning.

7. However,as an observer,I observed that the precinct had twelve(12)counting

tables, but only one (1) monitor from the Republican Party. I brought it up to

Erica Johnston since the recount rules provided for one (1) monitor from each

Party per ten(10)tables or part thereof.

8. Erica Johnston said that I was wrong,that there were only ten tables counting

and explained that because there were ten tables, not twenty, only one monitor

was allowed. I explained to her that there were twelve tables counting, and

that the rules did not state what she said, and read to her the rule, which I had on

my phone.

9. Erica Johnston proceeded to tell me that it did not matter, that she was in

charge, and that unless there were twenty tables, one monitor for twelve tables

was fine because ofthe limited space. I explained that I did not note an exception

where due to limited space, she could individually determine how many

Monitors to allow, and that she had created her own rules for the manual recount,

which precluded Republican Monitors from monitoring the recount. Erica

Johnston said that if I continued to insist on having one more Monitor for the

Republican Party, she would call the Police.

10.We were inside the Clayton County Police Department. I pointed her where

a Police officer was and asked her to call her over. I explained to the female

police officer that the Clayton County precinct was not counting ballots following
the rules for counting ballots, and I was requesting Erica Johnston to follow the

rules. The police officer told me that she could not do anything about it.

11.A Clayton County journalist named Robin Kemp of @RKempNews,

overheard the exchange, as a member ofthe media went in and photographed the

twelve (12) counting tables, confirmed to me that she had seen twelve counting
tables, and published it in Twitter.

12.Soon thereafter, before noon, we were notified that the location would close,

and the recount would be moved to Jackson Elementary to allow for more space

and more monitors.

13. The recount resumed at Jackson Elementary on or about 1:30 P.M., after

boxes of ballots were brought in a Clayton County white van with tag GV57976

and taken into Jackson Elementary.

14.1 had my identification badge by then, so I went in and noticed that one

Republican Monitor was allowed, yet now there were twenty six(26)tables, and

informed Erica Johnston that, again, if there were twenty six tables for

recounting, three(3)monitors from each Party were to be permitted.

15.Erica Johnston told me that she was in charge, and that I should stop

interfering with the process. I informed Erica Johnston that she was interfering

with the process, since she was not following the recount rules, knowingly.

16.At that point in time, a young man named Trevin McKoy,associated with the
Georgia Republican Party, told Erica Johnston that the Republicans were

entitled to three, not one. Monitor, since there were twenty-six tables. Erica

Johnston called over a Police officer. Officer Johnson, and Erica Johnston asked

Officer Johnson to remove Mr. McKoy from the building.

17.1 intervened and explained to Officer Johnson that Erica Johnston was not

following the rules, and Officer Johnson replied that Erica Johnston was in

charge, and that we were not in a Courtroom.

18.1 walked outside with Trevin McKoy,and so did the journalist, Robin Kemp,

who proceeded to publish the violation of rules on her Twitter account.

19.Within five minutes of the Twitter having been published. Erica Johnston

approached me and told me that the Republicans could have two additional

Monitors, and two additional Monitors went on the floor.

20.She also offered me to participate in the Voting Review Panel, which I did

until 6:00 P.M.

21.As a Voting Review Panel member, I sat next to two counting tables, and

monitored whether counters were following the rules.

22.For example,the procedure required that the two counters sitting next to each
other would recite the name of the candidate for whom the vote was cast, one

first, the second after, to confirm agreement, and then place the 'ballot' on the
appropriate stack. Trump,Biden, etc.

23.The counters on the two tables next to my table were not doing that, and I

served as a next to them for over three hours. One would give a 'ballot' to the

next, and the next would place it on top ofone ofthe stacks, without confirmation

from counter 2 to counter 1.

24,1 witnessed that Erica Johnston did not follow the rules until I complained,

and journalist Robin Kemp published the violations on her Twitter account.

25.1 also witnessed that Officer Johnson, of the Clayton County Police

Department, removed Trevin McKoy from the Jackson Elementary precinct only

because Erica Johnston told him to remove him, even though Trevin McKoy had

not done or said anything improper.

26.1 also observed that the precinct had Democratic Party monitors, Republican

Party monitors, and Carter Center monitors, and only Republican Monitors were

being mistreated by Erica Johnston and by Officer Johnson.

were absentee ballots.

4. I witnessed two poll workers placing already separated paper machine receipt

They simply passed each ballot to each other in silence.

3.1 am a registered Democrat.

4. Me and several people from my firm were very interested in the election

process to see if we had a valid, secure and non-biased voting system.

5. On Sunday, November 15, 20201 arrived to Dekalb County Poll Precinct

6.1 was allowed to be an observer and walked over to a table oftwo women

counting votes.

7.1 watched them pull out a pile of what I observed to be absentee ballots and
noticed two very distinct characteristics that these ballots had. One,I noticed

that they all had a perfect black bubble and were all Biden select. I was able
to observe the perfect bubble for a few minutes before they made me move

away from the table. At no time did I speak to the poll workers or obstruct

them in any way. I heard them go through the stack and call out Biden's

name over 500 times in a row.

8. On the following day, on November 16, 2020, I presented myself to Cobb

County Poll Precinct located at 2245 Callaway Road SW, Marietta, GA. At

first, I was standing next to the panel reviewers in Room B, where I observed

absentee ballots being reviewed with the same perfect bubble that I had seen

the night before at Dekalb County. All of these ballots had the same two

characteristics: they were all for Biden and had the same perfect black bubble.

9. After being there for over an hour, I walked over to Room C where the

absentee ballots were being manually recounted (audited). While in this room,

I did not hear a verbal callout as to each ballot as I had heard the day before

in Dekalb County. It was instead, done in a silent manner between both poll

workers.

lO.I was able to visualize the perfect bubble with the name Biden on it for

approximately ten minutes before a female middle aged (blonde hair with
glasses)supervisor in a ski jacket asked me to move ten feet away and refused
to give me her name. Later on, one of the people traveling with me from my
office, heard her say to keep an eye on the guy with a blue blazer and a pocket

square, he is not allowed to come on the floor and observe past the yellow

tape. I was the only one wearing a blue blazer with a pocket square.

11.1 also observed a dispute at one ofthe tables between an observer and

a male supervisor(perhaps in his mid-thirties) who stated that a box had been

certified incorrectly because the recount number was different than the

original number. The observer was also upset because nothing was done about

it.

12.1 also saw absentee ballots for Trump inserted into Biden's stack and were

counted as Biden votes. This occurred a few times.

13.1 also observed throughout my three days in Atlanta, not once did anyone

verify signatures on these ballots. In fact, there was no authentication process

in place and no envelopes were observed or allowed to be observed.

14.1 saw hostility towards Republican observers but never towards Democrat

observers. Both were identified by badges.

15.Lastly, after my frustrating experience, I decided to try to speak one of the


poll workers after hours. I identified myself as an observer that wanted to
know more about the process and any pressure he may have been under. He

advised that they, as poll workers, have been prohibited to speak to observers
at any time, and that the pressure they have been under by their supeiwisors
has been great. Not only in the speed of counting, but in reference to

irregularities that he was not at liberty to discuss with me. I asked him if he

could find some time to speak with me after he was done counting and relieved

of his duties and he said he was advised to never speak to anyone about the

process.

16.Based on my observations, I have reached the conclusion that in the counties

I have observed,there is widespread fraud favoring candidate Biden only.

There were thousands of ballots thatjust had the perfect bubble marked for

Biden and no other markings in the rest of the ballot.

1. I am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify herein. I have personal

knowledge ofthe matters stated herein.

2. On November 16,2020 I witnessed the various issues on military and overseas

ballots.

3. All military and overseas ballots I reviewed were very clean. No bubbles were

colored outside of the line. Not one ballot used an "x" or check mark. The

ballots I observed were marked in black ink and were for Biden. Not one ballot

had a selection crossed out to change the vote selection.

4. I noticed that almost all ofthe ballots I reviewed were for Biden. Many batches

went 100% for Biden.

5. I also observed that the watermark on at least 3 ballots were solid gray instead

of transparent, leading me to believe the ballot was counterfeit. I challenged

this and the Elections Director said it was a legitimate ballot and was due to the

use of different printers.

6. Many ballots had markings for Biden only, and no markings on the rest of the

ballot. This did not occur on any ofthe Trump ballots I observed.

7. Ballots were rejected because people chose 2 or more candidates.I found it odd

that none ofthis happened with the military ballots.

8. The military ballots did not have one specific precinct code on them. Instead,

they had multiple precincts printed on it(a"combo"),I challenged this as when

this is done, you do not know what precinct the voter is registered in.

9. Based on my observations above and the fact that signatures on the ballots were

not being verified, I believe the military ballots are highly suspicious offraud.

AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN P. PETERFORD IN SUPPORT OF


PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

I, Kevin P. Peterford, declare under penalty of perjury that the following is

true and correct:

1. I am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify herein. I have persona
l
know ledge of the matters stated herein.

1
Case 1:20-cv-04651-SDG

2. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Florida.

3. On Sunday November 15, 2020 Alyssa Specht appointed me to serve as a

Monitor for the duration of the Risk Limiting Audit in DeKalb County (the

"DeKalb Appointment Letter"). A true and accurate copy of the

appointment letter is attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit "A."

4. On Sunday at around 12:30 p.m., I showed up to 2994 Turner Hill Road,

Stonecrest, Georgia 30038 to begin observing as a Monitor. Prior to my

arrival, I was sent a handout titled "Audit/Recount Monitor and Vote Review

Panel Handout" which outlined the rules in place as well as provided

guidelines for observation. A true and accurate copy of the Audit/Recount

Monitor and Vote Review Panel Handout is attached to this Affidavit as

Exhibit "B."

5. After signing in and providing the DeKalb appointment letter to the check-

in desk, I was permitted to roam throughout the facility to conduct

observations.

6. The first thing I noticed was signs taped to each table (the "Review Table"

or "Review Tables") indicated a place for ballots for Trump, Biden, and

Jorgenson and other signs for "Blanks" (no vote for President) or overvotes

(multiple votes for President). At each Review Table were two people

manually reviewing each ballot (the "Recounter"). The first Recounter

would pick up the ballot and orally announce which candidate the ballot was

cast for. The first Recounter would then pass the ballot to the second

Recounter who would again orally announce which candidate the ballot was

cast for. The ballot was subsequently placed in the pile designated for that

candidate as discussed above.

7. Due to the COVID restrictions, we were instructed to stay a minimum of six

feet away from any Recounter sitting at one of the Review Tables.

8. The ballots would be brought to the Review Table in a cardboard box by

another worker. I was never able to get close enough to read any writing on

any of the cardboard boxes. After the carboard box was opened, stacks of

ballots were removed and placed on the Review Table. There were notes on

each stack but again, I was never able to get close enough to read what was

written.

9. Once the stack of ballots was on the Review Table, the process of reviewing

the ballot began in the manner outlined above in paragraph 6.

10. At no time did I witness any Recounter or any individual participating in

the recount verifying signatures.

3

21

11. If one of the Recounters encountered a ballot that was questionable, he or

she raised a piece of paper with a "?" and what seemed to be a supervisor

would come to that Review Table. A short conversation was had and the

supervisor would provide the Recounters with instructions. Again, I was

never able to get close enough to hear what was said.

12.When a Review Table completed reviewing a cardboard box full of ballots,

one of the Recounters would write some information (I assume it was the

number of ballots for each candidate the box contained) on a piece of paper

and place it on top of the cardboard box. Then one of the Recounters would

hold a piece of paper with a (check mark) on it in the air and someone

would come pick up the box full of ballots.

13.There was no person verifying the number of votes that the Recounter would

write on the paper.

14.At one point, I witnessed a fellow monitor chase after a ballot box that was

supposedly finished being counted.

15.Once this monitor was towards the back of the room, with this ballot box,

the supervisor in charge chased after him, directing him to go back to the

main part of the room and to leave the ballot box.

16.It was later learned that this ballot box needed to be recounted because a 0

(zero) had been incorrectly added to the Biden count, making it

approximately 10,000 plus votes for Biden, when it should only have been

in the thousands.

17.I spoke to other Observers present that day and they had witnessed the same

thing. Other Observes also informed me that fellow Observers were

removed for getting too close to the Review Tables. That when they would

get close enough to see what was actually filled in on the ballot, one of the

Recounters would begin making a big scene and call over a supervisor. The

supervisor would then remove the Monitor permanently.

18.While in DeKalb County, I saw a lot of hostility towards Republicans and

none towards Democrats.

19.Further, I noticed a Democrat Monitor speaking to a Recounter, which was

strictly against the rules of conduct during the recount.

20. On the evening of November 15, 2020, Alyssa Specht appointed me as an

Monitor in Henry County for the whole duration of the Risk Limiting Audit

("Henry County Appointment Letter"). A true and accurate copy of the

Henry County Appointment Letter is attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit

"C."

21. I arrived at 562 Industrial Boulevard, McDonough, Georgia 30253 at

around 9:30 a.m.

22. When I entered the building, I was halted by a woman at the door who

immediately informed me that I was not needed and that all the position had

been filled. At this time, the woman neither asked who I was nor why I was

present. I asked this woman to speak to the person in charge.

23. Within a few seconds, I was greeted by Ameika Pitts ("Ms. Pitts"), Henry

Country's Elections Director. Ms. Pitts informed me that my assistance was

not needed, and I was free to go. Again, this was told to me prior to her

asked why I was there and who I was.

24.I then pulled the Henry County Appointment Letter up on my phone and

presented it to her. Ms. Pitts immediately told me that I was not able to have

my phone inside the building even though the recount was allegedly being

"live streamed." After a brief conversation, I send Ms. Pitts a copy of the

letter and was permitted to enter the building, but only in the public

observation area.

25.Fortunately, after speaking to several Republican Party volunteers, Ms. Pitts

was provided my name from the Henry County Republican Chairwoman

and I was permitted to enter into the observation area.

26. Once inside the observation area, I saw that it was set up very similar to

DeKalb County with the Review Tables having the same designations and

each Review table having two Recounters as described in paragraph 6 above.

27 .As I began walking around, I noticed several differences between DeKalb

County and Henry County. In Henry County, the ballots were brought to

each Review Table in a red, plastic box with security ties used to hold the

box closed. Those ties were cut, and the ballots were then removed and

placed on top of the Review Table in stacks that were wrapped in a rubber

bands and had a pink sticky note on each stack which displayed the number

of ballots each stack contained. The Recounter would then remove the

rubber band and sticky note and begin counting the same was described in

paragraph 6 above.

28.At around 12:05 p.m. I was observing table "G" when the two recount

workers sorted a pile of ballots that had a note which said "93" as the number

of ballots. When the two workers finished sorting and counting the ballots,

there were only 92. The director of the election committee, Ms. Pitts came

to the two workers and simply signed a separate sheet of paper saying that

there were only 92 ballots. Ms. Pitts never recounted to make sure. This

happened several times and Ms. Pitts informed us that she has been directed

to just sign off on the number of ballots the recount worker said was there.

29. While in Henry County, I personally witnessed ballots cast for Donald

Trump being placed in the pile for Joseph Biden. I witnessed this happen at

table "A."

30.I interviewed a few Observers that same day who informed me that
on
multiple occasions Recounters at tables "A " "B " "G " and "O" were seen
' ' ' '
placing ballots cast for Donald Trump placed in the pile for Joseph Biden.

When this was brought to Ms. Pitts attention, it was met with extreme

hostility. At no time did I witness any ballot cast for Joseph Biden be placed

in the pile for Donald Trump.

31. Based on my personal observations, I believe that additional absente


e
ballots were cast for Donald Trump but counted for Joseph B iden. I further

believe that there was widespread fraud favoring Joseph Biden. This is my

personal experience.

Audit Teams Responsibilities

When reviewing a ballot and determining the voter's mark, audit boards
must consider "if the elector
has marked his or her ballot in such a manner that he or she has indicated
clearly and without question
the candidate for whom he or she desires to cast his or her vote." O.C.G.A.
21-2-438(c}.

As a batch is delivered from the check-in/out station:


• Record the County Name, Batch Name, and Batch Type (Absentee, Advance
d Voting,
Provisional, Election Day}, and verify the container was sealed on the Audit
Board Batch Sheet.

• Unseal the container.


• Recount the Ballots using the "Sort and Stack
" method:
o Pull the ballots out of the container and
stack neatly on the table.
If the container contains more than 1000
ballots, ballots should be removed
from the container and sorted in manageab
le stacks (using an Audit Board Batch
Sheet for each stack), leaving the rest of
the ballots in the container until the
previous stack is done.
For each ballot: audit board member (ABM
) #1 picks up a single ballot from the
stack and reads the vote for the Presidentia
l contest aloud, then hands the
ballot to ABM #2. ABM #2 verifies the vote
that is on the ballot is indeed what
ABM #1 read, then places the ballot in the
"stack" that corresponds to the vote.
ABM #1 should watch to make sure the ballot
is placed in the right stack. There
will be 8 stacks as follows:
• Trump
• Biden
• Jorgensen
• Overvoted ballots - one pile for any ballot
where the voter made more
than one selection for President.
• Blank/Undervoted ballots - one pile for any
ballot where the voter made
no selection for President.
• Write-In - one pile for any ballot conta
ining a write-in vote for President.
(The board does *NOT* need to determine
whether the write-in is for a
qualified candidate: the Vote Review Pane
l does that.)
• Duplicated ballots - one pile for ballots mark
ed as duplicated.
• Undetermined - one pile for any ballot where
the audit board cannot
agree on the voter's intent.
Candidate Ballot Tallies - Count the ballot
s in each stack by having one member
of the audit board verbally count the ballot
while handing· it to the other
member for verification. Count the ballot
s in groups of 10, stacking the groups
at right angles to each other, so you can
easily count the complete groups when
you are done. (For instance, if you have seven
groups of 10 ballots each plus an
extra 3 ballots, the total tally would be 73.)
Record the total tally for each
candidate on the Audit Board Batch Shee
t.
Write-In, Duplicated, and Undetermined
Ballots - count the ballots in the write-
in duplicated, and undetermined ballot piles
and record on the Audit Board
Batch Sheet. Each type should go in a desig
nated folder or envelope by batch.
o Write-in, Duplicated, and Undetermined
ballot folders must be set aside for delive
the Vote Review Panel. ry to
o Return the other ballots to the origin
al container and seal the container.
o Sign the Audit Board Batch Sheet.
o Raiseyour check mark sign for the check
-in/out station to come retrieve your conta
batch sheet, and any ballots for the Vote iner,

AFFIDAVIT

STATEOF GEORGIA

COUNTY OF COBB

Personally appeared before the undersigned attesting officer, duly authorized to administer oaths in

said State and County, Michelle Branton, who after being duly sworn, deposes and says upon oath:

1. My name is Michelle Branton, and I am a resident of Cobb County Georgia. I am employed by

Georgia Republican party as a Field Organizer. I am over the age of 18 and make these

statements based on my personal knowledge of the facts, matters and events described herein.

2. As I stated, I am employed by the Georgia Republican Party and so for the November 3, 2020

General Election, I was to be involved in monitoring the ballot counting process. On the night of

the November 3rd election, I was assigned by Regional Field Director Brandon Moye to be a Poll

Watcher and to report to the Fulton County Board of Elections Warehouse, located at 1365

English Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia, at 6:30 p.m ..

3. After arrival, I was then reassigned to the State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta to watch

the processing of Absentee Ballots and arrived at around 8:15 p.m. At State Farm arena, I joined

Mitchell Harrison, Field Organizer for the GAGOP. Mitchell and I entered the State Farm Arena at

the same time as the news crew from Fox News which included their broadcaster, photographer,

and producer.

4. Upon arrival in the processing room located on Level S of State Farm Arena, we were

supposed to watch the processing of the Absentee Ballots from the observation area which was

delineated by a fenced area of roping secured by posts. This observation area we were put in

was very distant from the staff actually processing the ballots. The room where the ballot

processing took place is a very large room, and this distance effectively prevented our actual

observation of the process. In addition, other areas of this -- again very large -- room were not

visible at all from our observation area.

5. For example, the machine that copied the UOCAVAelectronically received ballots (sometimes
called military ballots) onto a paper copy of same could only be viewed from the side and the

1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-29 Filed 11/25/20 Page 3 of 4

doors to that area were positioned in a way that prevented us from any viewing of this process.

Additionally, the scanners that scanned the absentee ballots were not visible to us at all.

6. The only way we knew that the scanners were located across this large room and was that

Regina Waller, Public Affairs Manager for Elections was onsite and she described the process to

Mitchell and me. There were several different news crews that came and went that evening

from this same observation area. The Chairman of the Fulton County Commission, Robb Pitts,

was there most of the night along with his personal assistant, another lady, and his security

guard. At the time, I thought it was unusual that the Commission Chairman would be personally

involved in the processing of ballots. Chairman Pitts left before the processing stopped later that

evening. Additionally, Joe Carn, another Fulton County Commissioner was also onsite. Mr. Carn

stayed until right before the processing stopped and spoke with Mitchell and me. Regina Waller,

Public Affairs Manager for Elections for Fulton County was also onsite for the entire time and

was still onsite when we departed.

7. As the night progressed, most of the staff processing the removal of the inner envelopes and

ballots from the outer envelope of the Absentee Ballots stopped working; however, there was

one employee that continued working when the others had stopped. That last employee to

finish was a younger woman. After that last employee completed her stack at approximately

10:30 p.m., a woman across the room where the scanners were allegedly located yelled to

everyone to stop working and to return the next day at 8:30 a.m. This lady had appeared

through the night and Mitchell and I believed her to be the supervisor. The supervisor was an

approximately 35-35 year old female, with hair that was blonde and braided which came at least
to the middle of her back in length.

8. After the "supervisor" gave her instruction, nearly all of the staff workers left, except the

supervisor described above, another much older lady that had a shirt on that said "Ruby" on it,

and one other lady that I cannot recall her appearance, and Regina Waller, the Public Affairs

Manager for Elections. so, at the time that work stopped at about 10:30 I recall those four
employees remaining.

9. At this same time,, we along with the Fox News crew were the only other persons as I recall

left in the room. We had been instructed by Brandon Moye to obtain the number of ballots

processed and the number that were still remaining to be processed We attempted to obtain

2
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 1-29 Filed 11/25/20 Page 4 of 4

this information three separate times from Regina Waller and she would not give an answer and

she also appeared to be calling someone asking them for advice on how to respond to our

request. Afterwards, Regina Waller would only say "it could be obtained on the website".

10. After concluding that Regina Waller would not give us this information on the number

processed versus the ones still left to be processed,, we along with the Fox News crew left the

State Farm Arena shortly after 10:30 p.m. When we left, Regina, the "supervisor" and only two

other people remained in the area of the scanners, the lady with the "Ruby" on her shirt was

sanitizing the tables and tablecloths, and the third lady was further across the room and I could

not tell what she was doing. Regina Waller was sending an email, as she relayed to us, when we

left.

11. We were then told to return to the Fulton County Board of Elections Warehouse on English

Avenue. Shortly after we arrived at the Warehouse Facility, Regina Waller entered the facility

within 15-20 minutes of when we arrived. The English Avenue facility is a huge warehouse

storing election machines, scanners and other election equipment.

12. Sometime thereafter while still at English Avenue, Mitchell Harrison and Brandon Moye

advised they heard counting was still going on at State Farm Arena and Mitchell Harrison and

Trevin McKoy, field organizers, were sent to confirm the ballots were again being counted at the

State Farm Arena. I did not go with them on the return to State Farm.

DECLARATION OF

I, , hereby state the following:

1.

2. I am an adult of sound mine. All statements in this declaration are based


on my personal knowledge and are true and correct.

3. I am making this statement voluntarily and on my own initiative. I have


not been promised, nor do I expect to receive, anything in exchange for my
testimony and giving this statement. I have no expectation of any profit
or reward and understand that there are those who may seek to harm me
for what I say in this statement. I have not participated in any political
process in the United States, have not supported any candidate for office
in the United States, am not legally permitted to vote in the United
States, and have never attempted to vote in the United States.

4. I want to alert the public and let the world know the truth about the
corruption, manipulation, and lies being committed by a conspiracy of
people and companies intent upon betraying the honest people of the
United States and their legally constituted institutions and fundamental
rights as citizens. This conspiracy began more than a decade ago in
Venezuela and has spread to countries all over the world. It is a conspiracy
to wrongfully gain and keep power and wealth. It involves political
leaders, powerful companies, and other persons whose purpose is to gain
and keep power by changing the free will of the people and subverting the
proper course of governing.

5.
Over the course of my career, I
specialized in the marines

6. Due to my training in special operations and my extensive military and


academic formations, I was selected for the national security guard detail
of the President of Venezuela.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5-1 Filed 11/27/20 Page 3 of 9
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5-1 Filed 11/27/20 Page 4 of 9

sophisticated electronic voting system that permitted the leaders of the


Venezuelan government to manipulate the tabulation of votes for national
and local elections and select the winner of those elections in order to gain
and maintain their power.

10. Importantly, I was a direct witness to the creation and operation of an


electronic voting system in a conspiracy between a company known as
Smartmatic and the leaders of conspiracy with the Venezuelan
government. This conspiracy specifically involved President Hugo Chavez
Frias, the person in charge of the National Electoral Council named Jorge
Rodriguez, and principals, representatives, and personnel from
Smartmatic which included . The
purpose of this conspiracy was to create and operate a voting system that
could change the votes in elections from votes against persons running
the Venezuelan government to votes in their favor in order to maintain
control of the government.

11. In mid-February of 2009, there was a national referendum to change the


Constitution of Venezuela to end term limits for elected officials, including
the President of Venezuela. The referendum passed. This permitted Hugo
Chavez to be re-elected an unlimited number of times.

12. After passage of the referendum, President Chavez instructed me to make


arrangements for him to meet with Jorge Rodriguez, then President of the
National Electoral Council, and three executives from Smartmatic.
Among the three Smartmatic representatives were

President Chavez had multiple meetings with Rodriguez


and the Smartmatic team at which I was present. In the first of four
meetings, Jorge Rodriguez promoted the idea to create software that
would manipulate elections. Chavez was very excited and made it clear
that he would provide whatever Smartmatic needed. He wanted them
immediately to create a voting system which would ensure that any time
anything was going to be voted on the voting system would guarantee
results that Chavez wanted. Chavez offered Smartmatic many
inducements, including large sums of money, for Smartmatic to create or
modify the voting system so that it would guarantee Chavez would win
every election cycle. Smartmatic eam ag eed to create such a system
and did so.

13. I arranged and attended three more meetings between President Chavez
and the representatives from Smartmatic at which details of the new
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5-1 Filed 11/27/20 Page 5 of 9

voting system were discussed and agreed upon. For each of these
meetings, I communicated directly with on details of
where and when to meet, where the participants would be picked up and
delivered to the meetings, and what was to be accomplished. At these
meetings, the participants called their project the Chavez revolution.
From that point on, Chavez never lost any election. In fact, he was able
to ensure wins for himself, his party, Congress persons and mayors from
townships.

14. Smartmatic electoral technology was called Sistema de Gestión


Electoral (the Electoral Management System ). Smartmatic was a
pioneer in this area of computing systems. Their system provided for
transmission of voting data over the internet to a computerized central
tabulating center. The voting machines themselves had a digital display,
fingerprint recognition feature to identify the voter, and printed out the
voter ballot. The voter thumbprint was linked to a computerized record
of that voter iden i . Sma ma ic c ea ed and e a ed he en i e
system.

15. Chavez was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a way
that the system could change the vote of each voter without being
detected. He wanted the software itself to function in such a manner that
if the voter were to place their thumb print or fingerprint on a scanner,
then the thumbprint would be tied to a record of the voter name and
identity as having voted, but that voter would not tracked to the changed
vote. He made it clear that the system would have to be setup to not leave
any evidence of the changed vote for a specific voter and that there would
be no evidence to show and nothing to contradict that the name or the
fingerprint or thumb print was going with a changed vote. Smartmatic
agreed to create such a system and produced the software and hardware
that accomplished that result for President Chavez.

16. After the Smartmatic Electoral Management System was put in place, I
closely observed several elections where the results were manipulated
using Smartmatic software. One such election was in December 2006
when Chavez was running against Rosales. Chavez won with a landslide
over Manuel Rosales - a margin of nearly 6 million votes for Chavez versus
3.7 million for Rosales.

17. On April 14, 2013, I witnessed another Venezuelan national election in


which the Smartmatic Electoral Management System was used to
manipulate and change the results for the person to succeed Hugo Chávez
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5-1 Filed 11/27/20 Page 6 of 9

as President. In that election, Nicolás Maduro ran against Capriles


Radonsky.

Inside that location was a control room in which there were


multiple digital display screens TV screens for results of voting in each
state in Venezuela. The actual voting results were fed into that room and
onto the displays over an internet feed, which was connected to a
sophisticated computer system created by Smartmatic. People in that
room were able to see in eal ime hether the vote that came through
the electronic voting system was in their favor or against them. If one
looked at any particular screen, they could determine that the vote from
any specific area or as a national total was going against either candidate.
Persons controlling the vote tabulation computer had the ability to change
the reporting of votes by moving votes from one candidate to another by
using the Smartmatic software.

18. By two o'clock in the afternoon on that election day Capriles Radonsky
was ahead of Nicolás Maduro by two million votes. When Maduro and his
supporters realized the size of Radonsky s lead they were worried that
they were in a crisis mode and would lose the election. The Smartmatic
machines used for voting in each state were connected to the internet and
reported their information over the internet to the Caracas control center
in real-time. So, the decision was made to reset the entire system.
Maduro s and his supporters ordered the network controllers to take the
internet itself offline in practically all parts in Venezuela and to change
the results.

19. It took the voting system operators approximately two hours to make the
adjustments in the vote from Radonsky to Maduro. Then, when they
turned the internet back on and the on-line reporting was up and running
again, they checked each screen state by state to be certain where they
could see that each vote was changed in favor of Nicholas Maduro. At that
moment the Smartmatic system changed votes that were for Capriles
Radonsky to Maduro. By the time the system operators finish, they had
achieved a convincing, but narrow victory of 200,000 votes for Maduro.

20. After Smartmatic created the voting system President Chavez wanted, he
exported the software and system all over Latin America. It was sent to
Bolivia, Nicaragua, Argentina, Ecuador, and Chile countries that were
in alliance with President Chavez. This was a group of leaders who
wanted to be able to guarantee they maintained power in their countries.
When Chavez died, Smartmatic was in a position of being the only
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5-1 Filed 11/27/20 Page 7 of 9

company that could guarantee results in Venezuelan elections for the


party in power.

21. I want to point out that the software and fundamental design of the
electronic electoral system and software of Dominion and other election
tabulating companies relies upon software that is a descendant of the
Smartmatic Electoral Management System. In short, the Smartmatic
software is in the DNA of every vote tabulating company software and
system.

22. Dominion is one of three major companies that tabulates votes in the
United States. Dominion uses the same methods and fundamentally same
software design for the storage, transfer and computation of voter
identification data and voting data. Dominion and Smartmatic did
business together. The software, hardware and system have the same
fundamental flaws which allow multiple opportunities to corrupt the data
and mask the process in a way that the average person cannot detect any
fraud or manipulation. The fact that the voting machine displays a voting
result that the voter intends and then prints out a paper ballot which
reflects that change does not matter. It is the software that counts the
digitized vote and reports the results. The software itself is the one that
changes the information electronically to the result that the operator of
the software and vote counting system intends to produce that counts.
That how it is done. So the software, the software itself configures the
vote and voting result -- changing the selection made by the voter. The
software decides the result regardless of what the voter votes.

23. All of the computer controlled voting tabulation is done in a closed


environment so that the voter and any observer cannot detect what is
taking place unless there is a malfunction or other event which causes the
observer to question the process. I saw first-hand that the manipulation
and changing of votes can be done in real-time at the secret counting
center which existed in Caracas, Venezuela. For me it was something
very surprising and disturbing. I was in awe because I had never been
present to actually see it occur and I saw it happen. So, I learned first-
hand that it doesn ma e ha he e decides or what the paper
ballot says. It he f a e e a and he f a e ha decide what
counts not the voter.

24. If one questions the reliability of my observations, they only have to read
the words of
a time period in
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5-1 Filed 11/27/20 Page 8 of 9

which Smartmatic had possession of all the votes and the voting, the votes
themselves and the voting information at their disposition in Venezuela.

he was assuring that the voting system implemented or used


by Smartmatic was completely secure, that it could not be compromised,
was not able to be altered.

25. But later, in 2017 when there were elections where Maduro was running
and elections for legislators in Venezuela, and Smartmatic broke
their secrecy pact with the government of Venezuela. He made a public
announcement through the media in which he stated that all the
Smartmatic voting machines used during those elections were totally
manipulated and they were manipulated by the electoral council of
Venezuela back then. stated that all of the votes for Nicholas
Maduro and the other persons running for the legislature were
manipulated and they actually had lost. So I think that's the greatest
proof that the fraud can be carried out and will be denied by the software
company that admitted publicly that Smartmatic had created,
used and still uses vote counting software that can be manipulated or
altered.

26. I am alarmed because of what is occurring in plain sight during this 2020
election for President of the United States. The circumstances and events
are eerily reminiscent of what happened with Smartmatic software
electronically changing votes in the 2013 presidential election in
Venezuela. What happened in the United States was that the vote
counting was abruptly stopped in five states using Dominion software. At
the time that vote counting was stopped, Donald Trump was significantly
ahead in the votes. Then during the wee hours of the morning, when there
was no voting occurring and the vote count reporting was off-line,
something significantly changed. When the vote reporting resumed the
very next morning there was a very pronounced change in voting in favor
of the opposing candidate, Joe Biden.

27. I have worked in gathering


information, researching, and working with information technology.
That's what I know how to do and the special knowledge that I have. Due
to these recent election events, I contacted a number of reliable and
intelligent ex-co-workers of mine that are still informants and work with
the intelligence community. I asked for them to give me information that
was up-to-date information in as far as how all these businesses are
acting, what actions they are taking.

PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO FILE


AFFIDAVITS UNDER SEAL AND FOR IN
CAMERA REVIEW

Come now the Plaintiffs, and pursuant to LR 7.5 and 65.1, and Section

II(J), of Appendix H to the Local Rules, respectfully request leave of Court to

file under seal certain identifying information in two affidavits and

declarations submitted as Exhibits to the Complaint.

1.

This case brings a challenge to the November 3, 2020 Presidential

election. Plaintiffs’ evidence shows ballot fraud and illegality, i.e. fraud or

illegality in the ballots that were counted in the election, and counting fraud

and illegality in the Dominion Voting Systems machines and software, and in

the hand audit/recount ordered by the Secretary of State, Brad

Raffensperger.

2.

Two of Plaintiffs’ witnesses are in reasonable fear of harassment and

threats to their physical safety and their livelihoods in retaliation for their

coming forward with their testimony. As described with more particularity in

the brief in support of this motion, as election controversies have unfolded

around the country, there have been multiple incidents of harassment and

threats to destroy the careers of or physically harm witnesses who come


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5 Filed 11/27/20 Page 3 of 11

forward with evidence of election fraud and illegality. There was an

organized campaign by The Lincoln Project to destroy the business

relationships of major law firms with their clients for having the temerity to

represent the President of the United States in these controversies. One

Pennsylvania law firm withdrew from representing the President only days

after filing a lawsuit on his behalf because of such harassment, abuse,

threats, pressure and economic coercion. Other lawyers for the President

have been physically threatened and verbally abused and forced to obtain

personal security to protect them. Therefore, the apprehensions of Plaintiffs’

witnesses are serious and well-founded.

3.

Moreover, the testimony of these witnesses is consequential to the

matter before this court, namely a legal challenge to the outcome of the

Presidential election in Georgia.

4.

The Affiant at Exhibit 2, is a Venezuelan Whistleblower, who is not an

American citizen, and swears under oath that “I was selected for the national

security guard detail of the President of Venezuela.” At great risk to himself,

he reveals that,

Importantly, I was a direct witness to the creation and operation of


an electronic voting system in a conspiracy between a company
known as Smartmatic and the leaders of conspiracy with the
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5 Filed 11/27/20 Page 4 of 11

Venezuelan government. This conspiracy specifically involved


President Hugo Chavez Frias, the person in charge of the National
Electoral Council named Jorge Rodriguez, and principals,
representatives, and personnel from Smartmatic which included …
The purpose of this conspiracy was to create and operate a voting
system that could change the votes in elections from votes against
persons running the Venezuelan government to votes in their favor
in order to maintain control of the government.
See Exh. 2 to the Complaint, para 10, also attached hereto.

5.

And secondly, the Affidavit “Spyder,” 1 sets forth evidence in his sworn

affidavit, and his background:

I was an electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military


Intelligence with experience gathering SAM missile system
electronic intelligence. I have extensive experience as a white hat
hacker used by some of the top election specialists in the world. The
methodologies I have employed represent industry standard cyber
operation toolkits for digital forensics and OSINT, which are
commonly used to certify connections between servers, network
nodes and other digital properties and probe to network system
vulnerabilities.

In my professional opinion, this affidavit presents unambiguous
evidence that Dominion Voter Systems and Edison Research have
been accessible and were certainly compromised by rogue actors,
such as Iran and China. By using servers and employees connected
with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with
numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials, these
organizations neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access

1 This slip sheet for this exhibit as filed with the complaint erroneously
labeled it as Exhibit 7. In fact, it should be Exhibit 8. It is attached to this
document with a corrected slip sheet.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5 Filed 11/27/20 Page 5 of 11

data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in


order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most
recent one in 2020. This represents a complete failure of their duty
to provide basic cyber security. This is not a technological issue, but
rather a governance and basic security issue: if it is not corrected,
future elections in the United States and beyond will not be secure
and citizens will not have confidence in the results.
See Exh. 8 at pars. 1 and 21. 2 His sworn testimony further appears consistent

with a recent October 2020 federal government advisory, which states:

This joint cybersecurity advisory was coauthored by the


Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). CISA and the FBI are aware
of an Iranian advanced persistent threat (APT) actor targeting U.S.
state websites to include election websites. CISA and the FBI assess
this actor is responsible for the mass dissemination of voter
intimidation emails to U.S. citizens and the dissemination of U.S.
election-related disinformation in mid-October 2020.1 (Reference
FBI FLASH message ME-000138-TT, disseminated October 29,
2020). Further evaluation by CISA and the FBI has identified the
targeting of U.S. state election websites was an intentional effort to
influence and interfere with the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
A copy of this “Joint Cybersecurity Advisory Iranian Advanced Persistent

Threat Actor Identified Obtaining Voter Registration Data” is Attached

hereto as Exhibit “A,” following the two affidavits in question on this motion.

The Advisory further states, “[f]ollowing the review of web server

access logs, CISA analysts, in coordination with the FBI, found instances of

the cURL and FDM User Agents sending GET requests to a web resource

2 See note 1, above regarding the Exhibit number for this Exhibit.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5 Filed 11/27/20 Page 6 of 11

associated with voter registration data. The activity occurred between

September 29 and October 17, 2020. Suspected scripted activity submitted

several hundred thousand queries iterating through voter identification

values and retrieving results with varying levels of success [Gather Victim

Identity Information (T1589)]. A sample of the records identified by the FBI

reveals they match information in the aforementioned propaganda video.

6.

This testimony has been given at great risk of the Affiant who holds

training and the current knowledge required to obtain such information

related to foreign interference in the 2020 election.

7.

The established pattern of witness and attorney harassment and

coercion, along with the importance of their testimony, increases the

likelihood of the feared harassments, threats and coercion should the

identities of these witnesses become public knowledge. One of the witnesses,

who is testifying about his analysis of hostile foreign power cyber penetration

of Dominion Voting Systems servers and networks, is already subject to

serious threats of harm because of the highly sensitive nature of his regular

professional work and is in particular need of protection.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5 Filed 11/27/20 Page 7 of 11

8.

These witnesses, whom Plaintiffs ask the Court to protect, have shown

great courage in coming forward at a critical moment to deliver the truth to

the Court about matters of great importance to our country. They are in need

of the Court’s protection from the readily foreseeable harms that would

accrue to them if their identities were made public. Thus, good cause exists

for the relief requested.

9.

Due to the concerns described above, these witnesses’ affidavits and

declarations at Exhibits 2 and 8 3 have been filed with the Complaint with

their identifying information redacted, as reflected in the attached copies

thereof

10.

The privacy and personal and financial security interests of the

witnesses are at grave risk of harm if their identities were disclosed. Their

interests, as well as those of the parties and the Court vastly outweigh the

interests of the public in having access to the Affiants’ personally identifying

information, and no less drastic alternatives other than sealing their

unredacted affidavits to conceal their identities will provide adequate

3As noted, this slip sheet for this Exhibit said it was Exhibit 7 when it should
have been Exhibit 8. The filename for the document begins “Exh. 8 …”
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 5 Filed 11/27/20 Page 8 of 11

protection to the them and the proper functioning of this Court. The common

law right of public access to Court filings must yield to countervailing

interests of the parties, the Court and the Affiants in keeping their identities

undisclosed beyond the parties and the Court in these proceedings to protect

them from readily foreseeable threats. Moreover, the redacted affidavits

conceal only the Affiants’ personally identifying information – all of their

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 THE COURT: Good morning. I would like to point out

2 that this hearing is being audio streamed nationally, so

3 whatever you say near your microphones will be picked up for

4 the world to hear, so you might want to be discreet in what

5 you have to say this morning with the microphones. Also, I

6 would ask that -- each of y'all should have some plastic bags.

7 As you leave the lectern, take the bag with you, and the next

8 person who comes up should put a new bag. You all have bags,

9 right? Okay. So that is what we are going to do. All right.

10 In this case, the Plaintiffs are a group of

11 disappointed Republican presidential electors. They assert

12 that the 2020 presidential election in Georgia was stolen, and

13 that the results, Joe Biden winning, occurred only because of

14 massive fraud. Plaintiffs contend that this massive fraud was

15 manifest primarily, but not exclusively, through the use of

16 ballot stuffing. And they allege that this ballot stuffing

17 has been rendered virtually invisible by computer software

18 created and run by foreign oligarchs and dictators from

19 Venezuela to China to Iran.

20 The defendants deny all of Plaintiffs' accusations.

21 They begin in their motions to dismiss by rhetorically asking

22 what a lot of people are thinking, why would Georgia's

23 Republican Governor and Republican Secretary of State, who

24 were avowed supporters of President Trump, conspire to throw

25 the election in favor of the Democratic candidate for

1 President.

2 We are going to turn now to the legal arguments. We

3 have several motions today, but primarily they are grouped

4 into two. First we have a motion to dismiss that has been

5 filed by the State Defendants, the original defendants in the

6 case, and then we have another motion to dismiss filed by the

7 Intervening Defendants in the case. The Plaintiffs of course

8 oppose both of these motions. They've been fully briefed, and

9 I have read everything that has been filed in this case by the

10 Plaintiffs and everything pertaining to these motions. If the

11 Defendants are not successful on those motions to dismiss, we

12 will proceed to hear argument on the substantive merits of the

13 complaint and the claims in the complaint. The way that time

14 is going to be -- well let me begin it this way. In their

15 legal arguments the Defendants contend that Plaintiffs lack

16 standing to bring this suit, which is pretty much what the

17 11th Circuit just held in Mr. Woods's own separate suit

18 against the State on Saturday. The Defendants further argue

19 that under Georgia law this kind of suit, one for election

20 fraud, should be filed in State Court, not Federal Court.

21 This too is what the 11th Circuit held in a separate but

22 similar case recently. And next, Defendants assert that

23 Plaintiffs waited too long to file this suit which seeks an

24 order decertifying the election results. The Secretary of

25 State has already certified the election result, and there is

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 no mechanism that the Court is aware of of decertifying it,

2 but that is that the Plaintiffs seek.

3 And finally, the law is pretty clear that a party

4 cannot obtain the extraordinary remedy of injunctive relief

5 unless he acts quickly. And Defendants contend that the

6 Plaintiffs have failed to do that, pointing out that all of

7 Plaintiffs' claims about the Dominion voting machines, the

8 ballot marking devices, could have been raised months ago, and

9 certainly prior to the November 3 election, and certainly

10 before Plaintiffs filed this suit over three weeks after the

11 election took place.

12 So these are the procedural arguments that the

13 Defendants are making today, or at least the main ones, I

14 believe. And then the question is, assuming the Plaintiffs

15 can survive these procedural hurdles, what is the relief that

16 they want? They want me to agree with their allegations of

17 massive fraud. And what do they want me to do about it? They

18 want me to enter injunctive relief, specifically the

19 extraordinary remedy of declaring that the winner of the

20 election in Georgia was Donald Trump and not Joe Biden. They

21 ask me to order the Governor and the Secretary of State to

22 undo what they have done, which is certify Joe Biden as the

23 election winner. We will get to those merits if the

24 Plaintiffs survive the motion to dismiss.

25 At this time we're going to begin with the motion to

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 dismiss, and the time allotment will be as follows: The State

2 Defendants have 20 minutes -- let me back up. Each side gets

3 30 minutes. The Plaintiffs get all 30 of their minutes, and

4 the Defendants' 30 minutes are divided among the two sets of

5 Defendants. The State Defendants -- the State Defendants get

6 20 minutes, and then the Intervening Defendants get 10

7 minutes, following which we will hear the Plaintiffs'

8 response. They have up to 30 minutes. And then whatever time

9 was saved in -- reserved for rebuttal, the State Defendants

10 and Intervening Defendants will then have.

11 But before we go forward, is there any way we can

12 stop this fuzzy sound that is coming through up here? I don't

13 know if it is coming through in the whole courtroom. I don't

14 think has anything to do with my microphone. (pause). All

15 right, is that better? I think it was the speaker, one of the

16 two speakers up here on the bench. I talk loud enough and I

17 think the lawyers talk loud enough that I can hear what they

18 are going to say. I don't need a microphone. So at this time

19 I will turn the matter over to the State Defendants.

20 MR. MILLER: Good morning, Your Honor. Carey Miller

21 on behalf of the State Defendants. I am joined today by Josh

22 Belinfante, Charlene McGowan, and Melanie Johnson. Mr.

23 Belinfante will be handling the motion to dismiss. I do want

24 to raise with the Court, to the extent that we get there,

25 State Defendants would like to renew their motion to alter the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
6 of 44

1 TRO that is in place at this point. I understand that we can

2 address that in that section.

3 THE COURT: All right. Thank you, sir.

4 MR. BELINFANTE: I am not checking email, I am

5 trying to keep my time.

6 THE COURT: Okay.

7 MR. BELINFANTE: I would ask this. Would the Court

8 allow me to speak without the mask? Or do you prefer I keep

9 the mask on to speak?

10 THE COURT: I think I need to have everybody keep

11 the mask on.

12 MR. BELINFANTE: I'll be happy to do it. Good

13 morning, Your Honor. I think you have hit the nail on the

14 head in terms of what the issues are. This case simply does

15 not belong in this Court. The relief that Plaintiffs seek is,

16 as the Court described, extraordinary. It is to substitute by

17 judicial fiat the wishes of the Plaintiffs over presidential

18 election results that have been certified, that have been

19 audited, that have been looked over with a hand-marked count.

20 There is zero authority under the Federal law, under the

21 Constitution of the United States, or even under Georgia law

22 for such a remedy.

23 If the Plaintiffs wanted the relief they seek, they

24 are not without remedies. They could do what the campaign of

25 the President has done, which is file a challenge in Georgia

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
7 of 44

1 court under Georgia law challenging election irregularities.

2 There are three currently pending. I have with me two Rule

3 Nisi orders. One will proceed today at 3:30 in the Cobb

4 Superior Court sitting by designation. Another I believe is

5 Wednesday. And the President's, as I understand it, is to

6 proceed on Friday. That is where these claims should be

7 brought.

8 To the extent that the claims are about something

9 else, the Court need only look at what has happened in Georgia

10 since roughly 2019 and the passage of House Bill 316. It was

11 at that time that the Georgia legislature completely redid

12 Georgia election law. And there had been suit after suit

13 after suit, many of which brought by the Defendant

14 interveners, their allies, and others who question election

15 outcomes. And in every suit no relief has been ordered that

16 has been upheld by the 11th Circuit. In fact, no court has

17 ordered relief. And to the extent that two have, the Curling

18 case and the New Georgia Project case on discrete issues, the

19 11th Circuit stayed those because it concluded that there was

20 a strong likelihood of reversible error.

21 So what does this tell you? It tells you that

22 Georgia laws are constitutional, Georgia elections are

23 constitutional, and Georgia machines are constitutional. The

24 constitutional that the legislature has set forward is

25 constitutional. Now, that's where the Plaintiffs have backed

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
8 of 44

1 themselves into a corner from which they cannot escape. In

2 their reply brief, the claims, from the State's perspective,

3 got significantly crystallized. It became much clearer. And

4 they're relying heavily on Bush v. Gore. The problem is that

5 they are turning Bush v. Gore on its head.

6 In Bush v. Gore the challenge was that a Florida

7 Supreme Court decision was going to, as the Plaintiffs repeat

8 often, substitute its will for the legislative scheme for

9 appointing presidential elections. That is exactly what they

10 are asking this Court to do, substitute this Court for the

11 Florida Supreme Court, and you have Bush v. Gore all over

12 again. And that manifests itself in various different forms

13 that the Court has seen in our brief and the Court has already

14 identified. I will not go through all of them. I will try to

15 hit the high notes on some, but we will rely on our briefs.

16 We're not dropping or conceding arguments, but we will rely on

17 our briefs for those that I don't address expressly.

18 Let's talk briefly about what the complaint is,

19 because that has been I think significantly clarified with the

20 reply brief. One, the parties are presidential electors. And

21 they argue that that makes a significant difference. But what

22 are the acts of the State? Not Fulton County, not mullahs in

23 Iran, not dictators in Venezuela. What are the acts of the

24 State that are at issue? And it's in the discussion about

25 traceability and the Jacobson decision in the 11th Circuit

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
9 of 44

1 where that gets fleshed out really for the first time in the

2 reply brief, and there are three. And they tell you, and I

3 will keep coming back to it, on Page 20 of their reply brief.

4 The Plaintiffs, describing the State, say they

5 picked the Dominion system. Their policies led to de facto

6 abolition of the signature match requirement, their

7 regulations to permit early processing of absentee ballots is

8 unlawful and unconstitutional. Those are the three acts of

9 the State. Everything else is happening at a county level,

10 period. And from that they raise what appears to now be four

11 claims. One is the Elections and Electors Clause citing the

12 absentee ballot opening rule, I will refer to it as, the

13 settlement agreement. They raise equal protection claims

14 saying that the violation of the Election Clause has led to a

15 vote dilution and discrimination against Republican voters.

16 They argue that due process is violated because they have a

17 property interest in lawful elections, again, under the

18 Elections and Electors Clause. And finally, they raise a pure

19 State claim in Federal Court under a voter election challenge.

20 What is the relief they seek? The Court has

21 identified it. Why do they seek it? The Court is informed of

22 this on Page 25 of the reply brief. And it is -- if the Court

23 will not order a different result than what a certified

24 election has, they seek it through another means. They say on

25 Page 25 that allowing the electors to be chosen by the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
10 of 44

1 legislature under the plenary power granted to them for this

2 purpose by the elections and election laws. One way or the

3 another, the relief they seek is judicial fiat, changing

4 certified election results. And to evaluate these claims the

5 Court does need to consider aspects of State law. And this is

6 where the problem lies. I am going to keep going until you

7 tell me to stop.

8 (noise from courtroom audio system).

9 THE COURT: I am sorry, Mr. Belinfante. I don't

10 know what the issue is. We just have to bear through it

11 unless or until somebody fixes it. I've got six kids. It

12 doesn't bother me.

13 MR. BELINFANTE: I have three, I understand. I also

14 have the loudest dog in America. In any case, to evaluate the

15 claims, you have to look at State law. And because the

16 Plaintiffs raise Code Section 21-2-522 and the statutes that

17 surround it, it's those cases that are important. It allows a

18 challenge based on these grounds - in fact some are pending

19 now - misconduct, fraud, irregularity, illegal votes, and

20 error are all grounds to challenge an election in Georgia.

21 All of these issues can be brought in in those cases. Those

22 election challenges have to be decided promptly under

23 21-2-525. And, and this is critical, the relief sought is not

24 to declare someone else a winner, it is to have another

25 election. This goes to the point that there is simply no

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
11 of 44

1 authority for the relief that they seek.

2 Turning first, with that factual predicate in mind,

3 to standing. There has been a fair amount of briefing on

4 whether the status as a presidential elector guarantees

5 standing. The 8th Circuit said yes, the 3rd Circuit said no.

6 And I think the 3rd Circuit's analysis is more persuasive.

7 And to the extent that the Plaintiffs say the 3rd Circuit did

8 not consider their status as an electorate, that is true, but

9 the electorate is not what gives you unique status, it's if

10 the electorate is a candidate. And that is expressly what the

11 3rd Circuit considered in the Bognet decision, and we would

12 suggest that that is the more persuasive one that we rely on

13 in our briefs.

14 But I do want to address two other aspects of

15 standing that are more particularized. One is that when they

16 are seeking to invalidate a State rule or a consent decree

17 that the State has entered into, or anything truly under the

18 Elections Clause, the Bognet case speaks to this as well. And

19 it says that because Plaintiffs are not the General Assembly,

20 nor do they bear any conceivable relationship to the State

21 law-making process, they lack standing to sue over the alleged

22 usurpation of the General Assembly's rights under the

23 Elections and Electors Clauses. That is absolutely true here.

24 The Wood court, the 11th Circuit Wood opinion, says the same,

25 citing Walker, because Federal Courts are not constituted as

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
12 of 44

1 freewheeling enforcers of the Constitution and laws. And that

2 is the injury that underlies all of their claims, which is why

3 they lack standing.

4 I am not going to get into traceability as much

5 because I think the most useful aspect of the traceability

6 issue is the crystallizing of Plaintiffs' complaints, and as

7 I've indicated, the isolating of the State acts in particular.

8 On sovereign immunity, I only want to highlight that

9 a decision just came out in Michigan seeking very similar

10 relief. We will get you the cite. It is Michigan -- it is

11 against Whitmer, King versus Whitmer, in the Eastern District

12 of Michigan. Walks through all of the issues in this case and

13 rejects the claims, denies the relief. On sovereign immunity

14 they raise the point that under Young, you can only get

15 prospective injunctive relief. That is not decertification,

16 that is a retrospective. And so sovereign immunity would bar

17 that. They do seek to prevent the Governor from mailing the

18 results; that can be prospective, but there is just no relief

19 for it. So that is all I will says on sovereign immunity.

20 On laches, the Michigan Court also joined in with

21 Judge Grimberg on laches in the Wood case and said that there

22 is time that is inexcusable. The Court is well-aware of the

23 elements, was there a delay, was it not excusable, and did the

24 delay cause undue prejudice. Judge Grimberg has already

25 looked at this argument in the context of the Wood case and

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
13 of 44

1 the challenge to the consent order and said laches applied.

2 And it does here for all of the Plaintiffs' arguments, and all

3 you need to do, again, is go back to that Page 20 and see why.

4 They say that their policies, the State's policies, led to a

5 de facto abolition of the signature requirement. The

6 complaint at Paragraph 58 acknowledges in Exhibit A that that

7 happened in March of this year. There has been plenty of time

8 that they thought the Secretary overstepped his bounds to

9 bring a challenge in that case or to bring a challenge even

10 afterwards, challenge the OEB. They did not.

11 They say on Page 20 that they, the State, picked the

12 Dominion system. They tell you on Paragraph 12 that happened

13 in 2019. There has been significant litigation over the

14 Dominion system. Nothing has been held in order that the

15 Dominion system is unconstitutional, is flawed, or anything

16 else that has stuck.

17 Third, they said that their regulation, the absentee

18 ballot regulation, permitted absentee ballots as unlawful and

19 unconstitutional. They tell you in Paragraph 60 that happened

20 in April of 2020. Georgia law, in the Administrative

21 Procedures Act, specifically allows you to challenge rules,

22 50-13-10. That wasn't done. They certainly could have. And

23 you don't need the fraud, as they allege, to happen first,

24 because their argument is not based on the fraud, it is based

25 on usurpation of power by the Executive Branch. That can be

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
14 of 44

1 challenged when the rule has been promulgated, when the order

2 is out, and when the Dominion machines were selected.

3 We raise in our brief several forms of abstention.

4 And truly, Your Honor, they all kind of get to the same place

5 under different theories. And again, the reply brief made

6 this point to the clearest. I think at the end of the day,

7 while we will rely on our briefs in terms of why those matter,

8 and the Michigan court found that Colorado River abstention

9 should apply, there are parallel proceedings in State Court --

10 THE COURT: Did they even argue why it shouldn't?

11 MR. BELINFANTE: They argued that in voting rights

12 cases the 11th Circuit does not typically abstain. And those

13 cases are slightly different. They are challenging an

14 underlying statute, for the most part. Siegel is a slightly

15 -- it's a different case. But they are mostly challenging

16 underlying statutes. And there is not a pending election

17 challenge on the same thing in State Court. It's like the

18 other cases that we have seen that we've defended since the

19 gubernatorial election in 2018. So no, I don't think so. But

20 I think the Bush v. Gore analysis is the one that is most

21 critical, and it is that simply the Secretary -- the

22 legislative scheme for electing presidential electors is set

23 forth in the Code in Title 21, it has a means of challenging

24 fraudulent illegal votes, it has a means of allowing the

25 Secretary to address various issues, the State Election Board

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
15 of 44

1 to pass regulations. All of that authority has been delegated

2 by, first, Congress to the Georgia Legislature, and then to

3 the Executive Branch. That is the scheme that is put in

4 place, and that is exactly what they seek to turn on its head.

5 And what the three justice concurrence on which they rely

6 says, makes that impossible. Because the Supreme Court said

7 at Page 120, for the Court, in that case the Florida Court, to

8 step away from this established practice prescribed by the

9 Secretary, the State official charged by the Legislature with

10 the responsibility to obtain and maintain uniformity in the

11 application, operation, and interpretation of election laws

12 was to depart from the legislative scheme.

13 Read the proposed order. That is exactly what the

14 Plaintiffs seek here, and that is exactly what their own

15 authority says the Court cannot issue in terms of relief, and

16 that would actually trump the remaining claims because it

17 would violate the Elections Clause in order to arguably save

18 some other vague right in terms of due process.

19 Turning to that, let me talk briefly about the

20 absentee ballot regulation, the return of the ballots. There

21 is nothing that is inconsistent with that, number one, because

22 if you look in the Election Code, there are five times that

23 the General Assembly said something cannot occur earlier than

24 X date. This doesn't say that. This says beginning on this

25 date they can do this, but it doesn't say it can only happen.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
16 of 44

1 And the five times elsewhere in the Code would suggest that

2 the legislature knew how to change it if they wanted. That is

3 121-2-132, 133, 153, 187, and 384. They are simply reading

4 the regulation to create the conflict, when every piece of

5 Federal and State law says you should read it to avoid the

6 conflict. In terms of the settlement agreement itself, I

7 think Judge Grimberg has sufficiently analyzed that. And it

8 fills the gap. There is no conflict. They can't point to any

9 language that it does. And at the end of the day it is an

10 OEB, an Official Election Bulletin, not a statute and not a

11 regulation of the State Election Board anyway.

12 On the Dominion machines, I think we will rely on --

13 Mr. Miller is going to talk about that a good deal, but also

14 they argue that the audit somehow doesn't save it because of

15 Prohm and that we are estopped from raising Prohm. There are

16 two problems with that. One, estoppel doesn't apply. There

17 has been no final order. They're not estopped from doing

18 anything. That's the Community State Bank vs. Strong decision

19 from the 11th Circuit applying Georgia law 2011. And two,

20 there has not been an order in Curling saying that the

21 machines are unconstitutional. There have been nine

22 preliminary injunctions filed, no standard relief, and it

23 ignores -- the entire premise of the argument ignores that

24 when a voter gets a ballot from the machine they can read who

25 they voted for. And when the hand count took place, they

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
17 of 44

1 didn't scan it back in, they looked at what the ballot said

2 and who they voted for and that is why things were put in

3 different boxes. Their own affidavits talk about that

4 provision of separating the boxes by hand. It resolves the

5 issue.

6 The remaining theories fail -- again, I want to be

7 cognizant of time and save some time for rebuttal. We rely on

8 our briefs in terms of the merits of those, but the equal

9 protection and due process allegations I think are addressed

10 in Wood from the 11th Circuit. On procedural due process, to

11 the extent that that is the due process claim, they don't

12 challenge the Georgia election means of correcting as somehow

13 invalid or insufficient. In fact, they raised it. And so you

14 can't have a procedural due process claim if you have a

15 remedy. You can't have a substantive due process claim if it

16 doesn't shock the conscience, which having to use the remedy

17 here, they can do. Your Honor, with that, unless there are

18 questions, I would will reserve the rest of my time for

19 rebuttal.

20 THE COURT: Thank you, sir.

21 MS. CALLAIS: Good morning, Your Honor. I am Amanda

22 Callais on behalf of Intervenor Defendants, the Democratic

23 Party of Georgia, the DSCC and the DCCC, and I am mindful of

24 many of the points Mr. Belinfante just made, and I will not

25 repeat them, but for the record, Your Honor, I would just like

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
18 of 44

1 to say that for the statements that we've made in our motion

2 to dismiss, this case should be dismissed. The Plaintiffs in

3 this case lack standing. They bring their claims and assert

4 only generalized grievances. This Court also lacks

5 jurisdiction to hear their claims because this case is moot

6 now that the election has been certified, which is what the

7 11th Circuit found just this past Saturday in the Wood v.

8 Raffensperger case. And then Plaintiffs have also failed to

9 state any cognizable claim under the Election and Elections

10 Clause, Equal Protection Clause, and Due Process Clause.

11 Where I would like to begin though is where

12 Mr. Belinfante started, and I would like to bring us back to

13 this point about where we are in terms of Georgia elections

14 and with the remedy asked for in this case. Over a month ago

15 five million Georgians cast their ballots in the 2020

16 presidential election with the majority of them choosing

17 Joseph R. Biden, Jr. as their next President. Those votes,

18 both the ballots that were cast on Dominion machines and the

19 ballots that were cast by absentee were counted. Almost

20 immediately after that count took place, those votes were

21 counted again by hand, and then almost immediately after that

22 count finished, the recount began again, a third time, by

23 machine. Each and every one of those counts has confirmed

24 Georgia voters' choice. Joe Biden should be the next

25 President of The United States. At this point there is simply

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
19 of 44

1 no question that Joe Biden won Georgia's presidential election

2 and with it all of Georgia's 16 electoral votes. Despite

3 that, Plaintiffs have come to this Court eight months after a

4 settlement agreement they challenged was entered, three weeks

5 after the election is over, and days after certification took

6 place, and they asked this Court to take back that choice, to

7 set aside the choice that Georgia voters have made, and to

8 choose the next president by decertifying the 2020

9 presidential election results and ordering the governor to

10 appoint a new slate of electors.

11 THE COURT: Speaking of taking back, how do the

12 Intervening Defendants respond to the Plaintiffs' point in

13 their complaint that many people, including Stacey Abrams,

14 affiliated with the Democratic Party, opposed these machines

15 from the beginning and said that they are rife with the

16 possibility of fraud?

17 MS. CALLAIS: I think, Your Honor, that the key

18 there is that when we talk about a possibility of fraud, that

19 does not mean that fraud has actually occurred. And here

20 Plaintiffs come after an election has taken place and they say

21 on very -- as we will talk about if we get to the TRO

22 portion -- on very limited specious evidence that there is a

23 possibility of fraud. A possibility of fraud does not mean

24 that fraud has actually occurred. And truthfully, Your Honor,

25 that is what the Plaintiffs would need to show to get some

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
20 of 44

1 sort of -- the relief that they are requesting here, that

2 there has been actual fraud. And that is just not in their

3 complaint, it is not in their evidence. It makes no

4 difference whether there has been a possibility of fraud or

5 issues with the machines. That is a case that is in front of

6 Judge Totenberg and that she is deciding. But that is not the

7 evidence that they have presented here, and it certainly does

8 not support their claims.

9 So with that, Your Honor, as the 3rd Circuit

10 explained just a little over a week ago when denying an

11 emergency motion to stop certification in a case similar to

12 this one brought by Donald J. Trump's campaign, voters not

13 lawyers choose the President. Ballots not briefs decide

14 elections. Plaintiffs' request for sweeping relief in this

15 case is unprecedented. It is unprecedented anywhere, and it

16 is particularly unprecedented in Georgia where the ballots

17 have been counted not once, not twice, but three times, and

18 the vote has been confirmed. Their request for relief is not

19 just unprecedented, but also provides a separate and

20 independent grounds for this Court to dismiss this case.

21 As we explained in our motion to dismiss, granting

22 Plaintiffs' remedy in and of itself would require the Court to

23 disenfranchise over 5 million Georgia voters, violating their

24 constitutional right to vote. Post-election

25 disenfranchisement has consistently been found to be a

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
21 of 44

1 violation of the Due Process Clause throughout the courts.

2 For example, in Griffin v. Burns the 1st Circuit found that

3 throwing out absentee votes post election that voters believed

4 has been lawfully cast would violate the Due Process Clause.

5 Similarly, in Marks v. Stinson, a number of years later, the

6 3rd Circuit found the same thing in their finding where they

7 found even if there is actual evidence of fraud, discarding

8 ballots that were legally cast or that voters believed to be

9 legally cast violates the Due Process Clause and is a drastic

10 remedy. This is precisely what would happen here if this

11 Court were to order the requested relief. That order would

12 violate the Due Process Clause. And because of that, this

13 Court cannot grant the remedy that Plaintiffs seek and the

14 Court should dismiss this suit.

15 In finding that the Court can't grant this relief,

16 this Court would not be alone, it would be in actually quite

17 good company, not just from the 1st Circuit and the 3rd

18 Circuit in Griffin and Stinson, but also from more recent

19 cases. In 2016 in Stein v. Cortes, the District Court

20 declined to grant Jill Stein's request to a recount because,

21 quote, it would well insure that no Pennsylvania vote counts,

22 which would be outrageous and unnecessary. Just this cycle,

23 in Donald J. Trump for President v. Boockvar the Plaintiffs

24 sought to invalidate 7 million mail ballots under the Equal

25 Protection Clause, and the Court explained that it has been

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
22 of 44

1 unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such

2 drastic remedy in the contest of an election in terms or the

3 sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. The Court also

4 promptly dismissed there.

5 Just this last Friday in Law v. Whitmer in Nevada

6 State Court, which actually would have the ability to hear a

7 contest, found that it would not decertify the election in

8 Nevada. And the list goes on, Your Honor. We could talk

9 about findings in State Court in Arizona on Friday. There

10 have been over 30 challenges to this election that have been

11 repeatedly dismissed since -- basically since election day.

12 Since election day.

13 So the Court is in good company, and it's not just

14 in company good company nationwide, but it is in good company

15 with the judge right down the hall from here who, just two

16 weeks ago, in a case nearly identical to this one, found a

17 request to disenfranchise nearly 1 million absentee voters in

18 Georgia to be extraordinary. Judge Grimberg explained that to

19 prevent Georgia certification of the votes cast in the general

20 election after millions of people have lawfully cast their

21 ballots, to interfere with the results of an election that has

22 already concluded would be unprecedented and harm the public

23 and in countless ways. Granting injunctive relief here would

24 breed confusion, undermine the public's trust in the election,

25 and potentially disenfranchise over 1 million Georgia voters.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
23 of 44

1 Viewed in comparison to the lack of any demonstrable harm,

2 this Court finds no basis in fact or law to grant Plaintiff

3 the relief he seeks.

4 That same reasoning applies here. And in fact, it

5 applies here even more because most of the claims that were

6 brought in front of Judge Grimberg are the same, but the

7 amount of votes that Plaintiffs here seek to decertify are far

8 greater in scope.

9 On this last point, Your Honor, about the inability

10 of the Court to order the remedy, I wanted to respond to

11 something that Plaintiffs raised in their brief last night.

12 In their brief last night they react to the briefing on

13 mootness that we included in our TRO and note that this

14 Court -- this case would not be moot because the Court can

15 decertify an election. And that Wood v. Raffensperger that

16 came out by the 11th Circuit didn't discuss decertification of

17 the election, only halting certification.

18 And I would just like to point out that if this

19 Court were to decertify the election and specifically to point

20 a new slate of electors, which is what is asked, that in and

21 of itself would also violate the law. The U.S. Constitution

22 empowers State Legislatures to choose the manner of appointing

23 presidential electors, and that is the Electors Clause that

24 Plaintiffs actually challenge. And pursuant to that clause,

25 the Georgia General Assembly has chosen to appoint electors

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
24 of 44

1 according to popular vote. Those are certified by the

2 governor through certificate of ascertainment. That popular

3 vote has already taken place, Your Honor, and if this Court

4 were to order a new slate of electors to be appointed, that

5 would -- that would violate the Electors Clause.

6 In addition, Congress has also provided that

7 electors shall be appointed in each and every state on the

8 Tuesday next after the first Monday in November in every 4th

9 year as also known as Election Day, which this year took place

10 on November 3rd. Georgia has held that election on Election

11 Day, and if this Court were to now, months after the -- over a

12 month after the election, to go and order that a new slate be

13 appointed, it would be violating that statute as well. So for

14 the very reasons that the Plaintiffs -- the very relief that

15 Plaintiffs ask is actually what prevents this Court from

16 issuing any relief in this case, and precisely why it should

17 be dismissed.

18 THE COURT: All right. Thank you. All right, I

19 will hear from the Plaintiffs.

20 MS. POWELL: May it please the Court. Sidney Powell

21 and Harry MacDougald for the Plaintiffs. We are here on a

22 motion to dismiss which requires the Court to view the

23 pleadings and all the facts alleged in the light most

24 favorable to the Plaintiff. In my multiple decades of

25 practice I have never seen a more specifically pled complaint

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
25 of 44

1 of fraud, and replete with evidence of it, both mathematical,

2 statistical, computer, expert, testimonial, video, and

3 multiple other means that show abject fraud committed

4 throughout the State of Georgia.

5 Forget that this machine and its systems originated

6 in Venezuela to ensure the election of Hugo Chavez and that it

7 was designed for that purpose. Look just at what happened in

8 Georgia. Let's start, for example, with the language, "the

9 insularity of the Defendants' and Dominion's stance here in

10 evaluation and management of the security and vulnerability of

11 the system does not benefit the public or citizens' confident

12 exercise of the franchise. The stealth vote alteration or

13 operational interference risk posed by malware that can be

14 effectively invisible to detection, whether intentionally

15 seeded or not, are high once implanted, if equipment and

16 software systems are not properly protected, implemented, and

17 audited. The modality of the system's capacity to deprive

18 voters of their cast votes without burden, long wait times,

19 and insecurity regarding how their votes are actually cast and

20 recorded in the unverified QR code makes the potential

21 constitutional deprivation less transparently visible as well;

22 at least until any portions of the system implode because of

23 system breach, breakdown, or crashes" -- all of which the

24 State of Georgia experienced -- "the operational shortcuts now

25 in setting up or running election equipment or software

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
26 of 44

1 creates other risks that can adversely impact the voting

2 process."

3 THE COURT: You don't have to get into any of the

4 evidence or any of the statements or averments of the

5 complaint because I have read it. And all these statements, I

6 am assuming that every word of it is true. My question -- the

7 first question I have for you, for the Plaintiffs in the case,

8 is why -- first of all, whether you can or cannot pursue these

9 claims in State Court, specifically in Georgia Superior

10 Courts. Just the question is, can you?

11 MS. POWELL: No, Your Honor, we can't. These are

12 exclusively Federal claims with the exception of the election

13 contest allegation. They are predominantly Federal claims,

14 they are brought in Federal Court for that purpose. We have a

15 constitutional right to be here under the Election and

16 Electors Clause. I was not reading evidence. What I was

17 reading to the Court was the opinion of Judge Totenberg that

18 was just issued on 10-11-20 which defeats any allegation of

19 laches or lack of concern over the voting machines. This has

20 been apparent to everyone who has looked at these machines or

21 discussed them in any meaningful way or examined them in any

22 meaningful way, beginning with Carolyn Maloney, a Democratic

23 Representative to Congress back in 2006 who objected to them

24 being approved by CFIUS. Judge Totenberg went on to say that

25 "the Plaintiffs' national cybersecurity experts convincingly

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
27 of 44

1 present evidence that it's not a question of might this

2 actually ever happen but, quote, when will it happen,

3 especially if further protective measures are not taken.

4 Given the masking nature of malware in the current systems

5 described here, if the State and Dominion simply stand by and

6 say we have never seen it, the future does not bode well."

7 And sure enough, exactly the fears articulated in her 147 page

8 opinion, and all the means and mechanisms and problems

9 discussed in that three day hearing she held have now

10 manifested themselves within the State of Georgia in the most

11 extreme way possible.

12 THE COURT: She did not address the question before

13 the Court today though as to the propriety of bringing this

14 suit in this Court, did she?

15 MS. POWELL: There is no other place to bring this

16 suit of Federal Equal Protection claims and the electors.

17 THE COURT: You couldn't bring all of these claims

18 in State Court? Is that your position?

19 MS. POWELL: We are entitled to bring these claims

20 in Federal Court, Your Honor. They are Federal constitutional

21 claims.

22 THE COURT: What do you do with the 11th Circuit's

23 holding in Wood on Saturday that we cannot turn back the clock

24 and create a world in which the 2020 election results are not

25 certified?

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
28 of 44

1 MS. POWELL: Actually we can, but we don't need to

2 because we are asking the Court to decertify.

3 THE COURT: Where does that exist?

4 MS. POWELL: Bush v. Gore. Bush v. Gore was a

5 decertification case. There are other cases we've cited in

6 our brief that allow the Court the decertify. And at the very

7 minimum this Court should order a preliminary injunction to

8 allow discovery and allow us to examine the forensics of the

9 machines. For example, we know that already in Ware County,

10 which is a very small precinct, there were 37 votes that were

11 admittedly flipped by the machines from Mr. Trump to

12 Mr. Biden. That is a 74 vote swing. That equates to

13 approximately the algorithm, our experts also believe, was run

14 across the State that weighed Biden votes more heavily than it

15 did Trump votes. That is a systemic indication of fraud that

16 Judge Totenberg was expressing concern about in her decision

17 just weeks before the election. We have witness after witness

18 who have explained how the fraud can occur within the

19 machines. We know for example that there were crashes, just

20 like she feared in the decision, and everybody expressed

21 concern about. We know machines were connected to the

22 internet which is a violation of their certification

23 requirements and Federal law itself. We could not have acted

24 more quickly. In fact, the certification issue wasn't even

25 ripe until it was actually certified.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
29 of 44

1 THE COURT: But you weren't limited in your remedies

2 to attacking the certification, you could have attacked the

3 machines months ago.

4 MS. POWELL: That is what happened in the Totenberg

5 decision, and that is why I read it to the Court. The

6 machines were attacked by parties, and the election was

7 allowed to go forward. And we have come forward with our

8 claims as fast as is humanly possible. This is a massive

9 case, and of great concern not just to the nation and to

10 Georgia, but to the entire world, because it is imperative

11 that we have a voting system that people can trust.

12 They talk about disenfranchising voters, well there

13 are over a million voters here in Georgia that will be

14 disenfranchised by the counting of illegal ballots that render

15 theirs useless. It's every legal vote that must be counted.

16 Here we have scads of evidence. And the vote count here is

17 narrow. I mean, the disparity now is just a little over

18 10,000 votes. Just any one of our categories of that we have

19 identified require decertification. For example, 20,311

20 nonresidents voted illegally. Between 16,000 and 22,000

21 unrequested absentee ballots were sent in in violation of the

22 legislative scheme. Between 21,000 and 38,000 absentee

23 ballots were returned by voters but never counted. 32,347

24 votes in Fulton County were identified to be statistically

25 anomalous. And the vote spike for Mr. Biden, that is

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
30 of 44

1 completely a mathematical impossibility, according to multiple

2 expert affidavits we provided, shows that it was like 120,000

3 Biden votes all of a sudden magically appear after midnight on

4 election night. That happens to coincide with the time we

5 have video of the Fulton County election workers running the

6 same stack of rather pristine-looking ballots through the

7 machine multiple times. And as for the recounts, that makes

8 no difference because if you recount the same fake ballots,

9 you achieve -- in the same machines, you achieve the same

10 results. That is why the hand count in Ware County that

11 revealed the 74 swing is so important and indicative of the

12 systemic machine fraud that our experts have identified, and

13 why it is so important that we at least get access for the

14 Department of Defense even, or our own experts, or jointly, to

15 examine the machines in Fulton County and the ten counties

16 that we requested in our protective order, or our motion

17 for --

18 THE COURT: How is this whole case not moot from the

19 standpoint of even if you were to win, and win Georgia, could

20 Mr. Trump win the election?

21 MS. POWELL: Well fraud, Your Honor, can't be

22 allowed by a Court of Law to stand --

23 THE COURT: That is not what I am asking. I am not

24 saying that there may not be other issues that need to be

25 addressed, and that there might not be questions that need to

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
31 of 44

1 be investigated, I am asking, as a practical matter, in this

2 particular election, can Mr. Trump even win the election even

3 if he wins Georgia?

4 MS. POWELL: Yes, he can win the election.

5 THE COURT: How would that happen?

6 MS. POWELL: Because there are other states that are

7 still in litigation that have even more serious fraud than we

8 have in Georgia. It is nowhere near over. And it doesn't

9 affect just the presidential election. This fraud affects

10 senate seats, congressional seats, gubernatorial seats, it

11 affects even local elections. Another huge statistic that is

12 enough by itself to change the result is the at least 96,000

13 absentee ballots that were voted but are not reflected as

14 being returned. All of these instances are violations of

15 Federal law, as well as Georgia law. And in addition,

16 Mr. Ramsland's report finds that the ballot marking machine

17 appears to have abnormally influenced election results and

18 fraudulently and erroneously attributed between thirteen

19 thousand seven hundred and twenty-five thousand and the

20 136,908 votes to Mr. Biden just in Georgia. We have multiple

21 witnesses who just saw masses of pristine ballots appearing to

22 be computer marked, not hand marked, and those were repeatedly

23 run through machines until votes were injected in the system

24 that night without being observed by lawfully required

25 observers in violation of Georgia and Federal law that

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
32 of 44

1 resulted in the mass shoot-up spike of votes for Mr. Biden.

2 Mr. Favorito's affidavit is particularly important. He talks

3 about the Ware County Waycross City Commission candidate who

4 reported that the Ware County hand audit is flipped those 74

5 votes. That is a statistically significant swing for a

6 precinct that small, and there is no explaining for it other

7 than the machine did it. We have testimony of witnesses who

8 saw that their vote did not come out the same way it was.

9 Mr. Favorito is a computer tech expert. He said that the vote

10 flipping malware was resident on the county election

11 management system of possibly one or more precinct or

12 scanners. There was also an instance where it came out of the

13 Arlo system changed, and there was no way to verify the votes

14 coming out of the individual precincts versus coming out of

15 Arlo because apparently they didn't keep the individual

16 results so that they can be compared. So there was a vote

17 swapping incident through the Arlo process also.

18 There was a misalignment of results, according to

19 Mr. Favorito, among all three presidential candidates. Rather

20 than just a swapping of the results for two candidates, in

21 other words, they would sometimes put votes into a third-party

22 candidate and take those out and put them in Mr. Biden's pile.

23 The system itself according to its own technological handbook

24 explains that it allows for votes to be put in, it can scan to

25 set or overlook anything it wants to overlook, put those in an

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
33 of 44

1 adjudication pile, and then in the adjudication process, which

2 apparently was conducted in top secret at the English Street

3 warehouse, where all kinds of strange things were going on,

4 were just thrown out. They could just literally drag and drop

5 thousands of votes and throw them out. That is why it is so

6 important that we at least get temporary relief to examine the

7 systems and to hold off the certification or decertify or ask

8 the Court to halt the proceedings continuing right now until

9 we can have a few days to examine the machines and get the

10 actual evidence off the machines and look at the ballots

11 themselves, because we know there were a number of counterfeit

12 ballots that were used in the Fulton County count that night.

13 It would be a simple matter to examine 100,000 or so ballots

14 and look at which ones are fake. It is possible to determine

15 that with relative ease.

16 This is not about who or which government officials

17 knew anything was wrong with the machine. It's entirely

18 possible that many people did not know anything was wrong with

19 them. But it is about ensuring the integrity of the vote and

20 the confidence of the people that the will they expressed in

21 their vote is what actually determines the election. Very few

22 people in this country have any confidence in that level right

23 now. Very few.

24 The standard is only preponderance of the evidence.

25 We have shown more than enough for a prima facie case to get

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
34 of 44

1 to -- meet the standard required -- this Court is required to

2 apply. It is crucial that we decertify and stop the vote. We

3 need to have discovery. It's so important to the American

4 people, particularly in a country that is built on the rule of

5 law, to know that their election system is fair and honest.

6 THE COURT: But that rule of law limits where these

7 suits can be filed and who can bring them. Specifically on

8 the standing issue, how does your -- how do your clients

9 survive the motion to dismiss with respect to the standing

10 issue if I don't follow the 8th Circuit's case opinion in

11 Carson?

12 MS. POWELL: Even the Court's decision in Wood is so

13 distinguishable it should make clear electors have standing.

14 In that case, for example, the State could not even say who

15 did have standing. But under the Constitution, electors

16 clearly do.

17 THE COURT: But Georgia, unlike Minnesota,

18 differentiates between candidates and Presidential electors.

19 Right?

20 MS. POWELL: I am not sure about that. But we also

21 have the Cobb County Republican Party official who is suing,

22 and the electors themselves are part of the Constitutional

23 Clause that entitles them to standing.

24 THE COURT: I just think you have a pretty glib

25 response to what the 11th Circuit has held regarding these

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
35 of 44

1 cases. I mean, the 11th Circuit has basically said, you know,

2 we are not -- the Federal Courts are courts of limited

3 jurisdiction and we are not open 24/7 to remedy every

4 freewheeling constitutional issue that comes up. They have

5 made it clear, the Appellate Courts have made it clear, they

6 don't want District Courts handling this matter, they want

7 State Courts handling State election disputes, even regarding

8 in Federal elections. The Federal Government has nothing to

9 do with the State election and how it is conducted. As you

10 said, it is the Secretary of State who is the chief election

11 officer, and decides it. Why shouldn't the State of Georgia

12 investigate this? Why should it be a Federal judge?

13 MS. POWELL: Because we raise Federal constitutional

14 issues that are paramount to --

15 THE COURT: They raised Federal constitutional

16 issues in Wood.

17 MS. POWELL: -- to equal protection. He did not

18 request decertification. That is one of the things that

19 distinguished that case. He was not an elector or

20 representative of a county. He was simply an individual. And

21 I am not sure that decision is correct because, in that case,

22 they were also wondering who could challenge it. Well

23 obviously the Federal Equal Protection Clause and the

24 constitutional issues we have raised here give this Court

25 Federal question jurisdiction. This Court's one of the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
36 of 44

1 primary checks and balances on the level of fraud that we are

2 experiencing here. It is extremely important that this Court

3 exercise its jurisdiction as a gatekeeper on these issues.

4 There were numerous departures from the State statute,

5 including the early processing of votes, and the de facto

6 abolition of signature matches that give rise to Federal Equal

7 Protection claims.

8 THE COURT: Well, back to the standing question.

9 You know, the Plaintiffs allege that their interests are the

10 same, basically one in the same, as any Georgia voters. In

11 Paragraph 156 of the complaint they aver that Defendants

12 diluted the lawful ballots of Plaintiffs and of other Georgia

13 voters and electors. Further, Defendants allege that -- the

14 Plaintiffs allege that Defendants further violated Georgia

15 voters's rights, and they allege, the Plaintiffs, that quote,

16 all candidates, political parties, voters, including without

17 limitation Plaintiffs, have a vested interest. It doesn't

18 sound like your clients are special, that they have some

19 unique status that they enjoy that allows them to bring this

20 suit instead of anyone else. How do they have standing?

21 MS. POWELL: They have the unique status of being

22 the Presidential electors selected to vote for Donald Trump at

23 the electoral college. They were not certified as -- and

24 decertification is required to make sure they can do their

25 jobs that they were selected to do.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
37 of 44

1 THE COURT: Under the 3rd Circuit case, does your

2 theory survive?

3 MS. POWELL: Our theory is -- I think the 3rd

4 Circuit decision is wrong, the 8th Circuit decision is

5 correct. There is no circumstance in which a Federal elector

6 should not be able to seek relief in Federal Court, thanks to

7 our Constitution. It is one of our most important principles.

8 There were multiple means of fraud committed here.

9 We have also the military intelligence proof of interference

10 in the election, the Ware County 37 votes being flipped, the

11 video of the Fulton City vote count, they lied about the water

12 leak, they ran off observers, they brought in unusually

13 packaged ballots from underneath a table. One person is seen

14 scanning the same QR code three different times in the machine

15 and big batch of ballots which would explain why the same

16 number of ballots gets injected repeated into the system.

17 That corresponds with the math and the algorithms showing a

18 spike of 26,000 Biden votes at that time. After Trump's lead

19 of 103,997 votes there were mysteriously 4800 votes injected

20 into the system here in Georgia multiple times, the same

21 number, 4800 repeatedly. That simply doesn't happen in the

22 absence of fraud. All of the facts we have laid out in our

23 well-pleaded complaint require that this Court decertify the

24 election results or at least, at the very least, stop the

25 process now in a timely fashion and give us an opportunity to

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
38 of 44

1 examine the machines in ten counties and get further

2 discovery, particularly of what happened in Fulton County.

3 Those things need to be resolved before any citizen of Georgia

4 can have any confidence in the results of this election.

5 Allowing voters to cast ballots that are solely

6 counted based on their voting designations and not on an

7 unencrypted humanly unverifiable QR code that can be subject

8 to external manipulation and does not allow proper voter

9 verification and ballot vote auditing cannot withstand the

10 scrutiny of a Federal Court and cannot pass muster as a

11 legitimate voting system in the United States of America. For

12 those reasons, we request the Court to deny the motion to

13 dismiss, allow us a few days, perhaps even just five, to

14 conduct an examination of the machines that we have requested

15 from the beginning, and find out exactly what went on and give

16 the Court further evidence it might want to rule in our favor,

17 because the fraud that has happened here has destroyed any

18 public confidence that the will of the people is reflected in

19 their vote, and just simply cannot stand.

20 THE COURT: Thank you, ma'am. All right, rebuttal?

21 This is Josh Belinfante.

22 MR. BELINFANTE: Just briefly, Your Honor. Your

23 Honor, just a few points. One, I want the get back to

24 Colorado River abstention. There was a means and a process to

25 do that. You had asked earlier about their response. I did

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
39 of 44

1 go back and check. The Siegel case they rely on cites to only

2 Burford and Pullman abstention, not Colorado River. It is

3 appropriate in this case, and as the Michigan Court concluded,

4 the Moses Cone case which establishes it says that there is

5 really not a reason not to do so when you have concurrent

6 jurisdiction.

7 And that is one of the problems with the Plaintiffs'

8 argument. They keep telling you that they can't go to State

9 Court because they have Federal constitutional claims. Those

10 can be litigated in State Court pursuant to 1983. They also

11 say on laches that -- it is interesting, they have cited to

12 you and read to you numerous aspects of the Curling case, and

13 they say that going back to 2006 somebody thought that there

14 was something wrong with these machines. Well if that's the

15 case, then it makes the laches argument even stronger. These

16 are the arguments that they are about the machines. They

17 certainly could have been litigated prior to after the

18 certification of the election.

19 The other big problem that they raise is that the

20 Curling case, everything that was read was stayed by the 11th

21 Circuit, presuming that it is reading the part of the opinion

22 that I think it is. If it is going back to a prior opinion,

23 that is about old machines which aren't even used anymore.

24 And then in Ware County, that was provided in an affidavit

25 that was new as part of the reply brief, it should not be

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
40 of 44

1 counted. There is authority for that, Sharpe v. Global

2 Security International from the Southern District of Alabama,

3 from 2011. But even still, that can be brought in the State

4 Court under the challenge mechanisms set.

5 You asked what is the authority for decertifying the

6 election. The citation was Bush v. Gore. Bush v. Gore stayed

7 a Florida recount, it did not decertify the election. But

8 most importantly, what Bush v. Gore said is, when there is a

9 State process, the Elections Clause says that has to continue.

10 And they have not shown you that the State process is

11 insufficient, invalid, whatsoever. On standing, they find

12 themselves in a bind. If they are candidates as electors, the

13 State election code says you can bring a challenge under

14 21-2-522. If they are not candidates and the 3rd Circuit

15 reasoning applies, then the 11th Circuit in Wood would apply

16 too, and say that when you are not a candidate you don't have

17 standing. So either way, they find themselves out of Federal

18 jurisdiction on these arguments.

19 Just a few points on closing. They tell you that

20 the voters lack confidence in the election system. Well,

21 since 2018 candidates that were not successful have tried to

22 overturn the rule of voters in the Courts. Since 2018 courts

23 have stayed with the State of Georgia and upheld Georgia's

24 election laws and Georgia's election machines. This Court

25 should do the same. The State is doing what it can to enhance

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
41 of 44

1 public confidence. That is why we went the extra step of a

2 hand count, not that pushes ballots through a machine, but

3 that looks at what the ballot says, and when the voter had

4 access to that ballot they could see too. And if they voted

5 for Donald Trump it will show it on the ballot; if they voted

6 for Joe Biden it will show it on the ballot. And if not, they

7 can correct it right there. That is the actions that instill

8 confidence, not this. And if they want to challenge those

9 election results, the State Courts are open for them to do it,

10 there are hearings scheduled now, and those hearings should

11 proceed and not this one. Thank you.

12 THE COURT: Thank you, sir. Ms. Callais, did you

13 have anything else?

14 MS. CALLAIS: No, Your Honor.

15 THE COURT: All right. Thank you very much. I have

16 considered the entire record in the case and I find that, even

17 accepting as true every averment of the complaint, I find that

18 this Court must grant the Defendants' motions to dismiss, both

19 of the motions to dismiss, beginning with the proposition that

20 Federal Courts are courts of limited jurisdiction; they are

21 not the legal equivalent to medical hospitals which have

22 emergency rooms that are open 24/7 to all comers. On the

23 contrary, the 11th Circuit has specifically held that Federal

24 Courts don't entertain post election contests about vote

25 counting and misconduct that may properly be filed in the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
42 of 44

1 State courts. So whether the Defendants have been subjected

2 to a Federal claim, which is Equal Protection, Due Process,

3 Elections Clause and Electors Clause, it does not matter. The

4 11th Circuit has said these claims in this circuit must be

5 brought in State court. There is no question that Georgia has

6 a statute that explicitly directs that election contests be

7 filed in Georgia Superior Courts, and that is what our Federal

8 Courts have said in this circuit, it is that is exactly right.

9 Sometimes Federal judges are criticized for

10 committing the sin of judicial activism. The appellate courts

11 have responded to that and said enough is enough is right. In

12 fact, enough is too much. And the courts have convincingly

13 held that these types of cases are not properly before Federal

14 Courts, that they are State elections, State courts should

15 evaluate these proceedings from start to finish.

16 Moreover, the Plaintiffs simply do not have standing

17 to bring these claims. This Court rejects the 8th Circuit's

18 nonbinding persuasive-value-only holding in Carson vs Simon

19 and I find that the Defendants -- excuse me -- the Plaintiffs

20 don't have standing, because anyone could have brought this

21 suit and raised the exact same arguments and made the exact

22 same allegations that the Plaintiffs have made in their

23 complaint. The Plaintiffs have essentially alleged in their

24 pleading that their interests are one and the same as any

25 Georgia voter. I do not believe that the 11th Circuit would

LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 follow the reasoning of the 8th circuit in Carson.

2 Additionally, I find that the Plaintiffs waited too

3 late to file this suit. Their primary complaint involves the

4 Dominion ballot marking devices. They say that those machines

5 are susceptible to fraud. There is no reason they could not

6 have followed the Administrative Procedure Act and objected to

7 the rule-making authority that had been exercised by the

8 Secretary of State. This suit could have been filed months

9 ago at the time the machines were adopted. Instead, the

10 Plaintiffs waited until over three weeks after the election to

11 file the suit. There is no question in my mind that if I were

12 to deny the motions to dismiss, the matter would be brought

13 before the 11th Circuit and the 11th Circuit would reverse me.

14 The relief that the Plaintiffs seek, this Court cannot grant.

15 They ask the Court to order the Secretary of State to

16 decertify the election results as if such a mechanism even

17 exists, and I find that it does not. The 11th Circuit said as

18 much in the Wood case on Saturday.

19 Finally, in their complaint, the Plaintiffs

20 essentially ask the Court for perhaps the most extraordinary

21 relief ever sought in any Federal Court in connection with an

22 election. They want this Court to substitute its judgment for

23 that of two-and-a-half million Georgia voters who voted for

24 Joe Biden, and this I am unwilling to do.

25 The motion for temporary restraining order that was

NOTICE OF EMERGENCY INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL AS OF RIGHT

Plaintiffs Coreco Ja’Qan Pearson, et al., hereby file an emergency

appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from

this Court’s interlocutory order of November 29, 2020 (Doc.14) to the extent it

denies the full relief Plaintiffs requested in their motion for a temporary

restraining order. See Schiavo ex rel. Schindler v. Schiavo, 403 F.3d 1223,

1225 (11th Cir. 2005) (“Although we ordinarily do not have jurisdiction over
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 32 Filed 12/01/20 Page 2 of 5

appeals from orders granting or denying temporary restraining orders, in

circumstances such as these, ‘when a grant or denial of a TRO might have a

serious, perhaps irreparable, consequence, and can be effectively challenged

only by immediate appeal, we may exercise appellate jurisdiction.” (quoting

Ingram v. Ault, 50 F.3d 898, 900 (11th Cir. 1995)).1

Plaintiffs respectfully ask that this Court immediately transmit this

notice of appeal to the Eleventh Circuit today so that that court may docket

the matter, thus enabling Plaintiffs to file a motion for an expedited briefing

schedule pursuant to which Plaintiffs propose to file their brief by midnight

December 2, 2020, and Appellee’s brief by December 4, 2020.

Moreover, this Notice of Appeal as of right should divest the district

court of jurisdiction. If not, Plaintiffs would request a stay of the hearing

currently scheduled in the district court for December 4, 2020, until this

Court has ruled on the questions raised by the appeal, including whether

Plaintiffs must add to the suit each of the 600-plus county election officials in

1 While this Court, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1292(b), has certified its order as
involving a “controlling question of law as to which there is a substantial
ground for difference of opinion and that an immediate appeal from the order
may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation,” (Doc.15),
Plaintiffs would seek permission to appeal under §1292(b) only in the
alternative, if the Eleventh Circuit deems that necessary. Plaintiffs file this
notice, however, as a matter of right, pursuant to Schiavo. (“In these
circumstances we treat temporary restraining orders as equivalent to
preliminary injunctions or final judgments, either of which are appealable.”)
Schiavo, 403 F.3d at 1225 (citing 28 U.S.C. §§1291, 1292(a)(1).
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 32 Filed 12/01/20 Page 3 of 5

Georgia elections and spent $107 million taxpayer dollars to purchase

NOTICE OF EMERGENCY INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL AS OF RIGHT

Plaintiffs Coreco Ja’Qan Pearson, et al., hereby file an emergency

appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from

this Court’s interlocutory order of November 29, 2020 (Doc.14) to the extent it

denies the full relief Plaintiffs requested in their motion for a temporary

restraining order. See Schiavo ex rel. Schindler v. Schiavo, 403 F.3d 1223,

1225 (11th Cir. 2005) (“Although we ordinarily do not have jurisdiction over

appeals from orders granting or denying temporary restraining orders, in

circumstances such as these, ‘when a grant or denial of a TRO might have a

serious, perhaps irreparable, consequence, and can be effectively challenged

only by immediate appeal, we may exercise appellate jurisdiction.” (quoting

Ingram v. Ault, 50 F.3d 898, 900 (11th Cir. 1995)).1

Plaintiffs respectfully ask that this Court immediately transmit this

notice of appeal to the Eleventh Circuit today so that that court may docket

the matter, thus enabling Plaintiffs to file a motion for an expedited briefing

schedule pursuant to which Plaintiffs propose to file their brief by midnight

December 2, 2020, and Appellee’s brief by December 4, 2020.

Moreover, this Notice of Appeal as of right should divest the district

court of jurisdiction. If not, Plaintiffs would request a stay of the hearing

currently scheduled in the district court for December 4, 2020, until this

Court has ruled on the questions raised by the appeal, including whether

Plaintiffs must add to the suit each of the 600-plus county election officials in

1 While this Court, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1292(b), has certified its order as
involving a “controlling question of law as to which there is a substantial
ground for difference of opinion and that an immediate appeal from the order
may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation,” (Doc.15),
Plaintiffs would seek permission to appeal under §1292(b) only in the
alternative, if the Eleventh Circuit deems that necessary. Plaintiffs file this
notice, however, as a matter of right, pursuant to Schiavo. (“In these

ORDER

On November 29, the Court entered an order [14] granting modest

injunctive relief in order to preserve the status quo. This afternoon,

Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal [32] with respect to that order.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 37 Filed 12/01/20 Page 2 of 3

However, this Court’s November 29 order is a temporary restraining

order, not a preliminary injunction because, inter alia, it is of a limited

duration—ten days. 1 And generally, temporary restraining orders are

not directly appealable. See, e.g., Mitsubishi Int’l Corp. v. Cardinal

Textile Sales, Inc.¸14 F.3d 1507, 1515 (11th Cir. 1994). Although

Plaintiffs cite Schiavo ex rel. Schindler v. Schiavo, 403 F.3d 1223, 1225

(11th Cir. 2005), in their notice of appeal, this Court is of the opinion

that its November 29 order is not within the scope of Schiavo’s

exception to the unappealable nature of a temporary restraining order.

Plaintiffs’ notice of appeal states that it divests this Court of

jurisdiction. If the circuit court disagrees with Plaintiffs, it will dismiss

their appeal, whereupon this Court will probably need to reschedule the

hearing presently set for Friday, December 4 (since the parties’ briefs,

due tomorrow and Thursday, probably will have not been filed). Any

delay in conducting the hearing on the claims in Plaintiffs’ complaint

1 Moreover, the scope of relief sought in Plaintiffs’ motion [6] for emergency
relief is narrower than the scope of Plaintiffs’ complaint.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 37 Filed 12/01/20 Page 3 of 3

would be attributable to Plaintiffs—not this Court—since Plaintiffs are

the ones who filed the notice of appeal.2

Accordingly, the scheduling order [17] docketed November 30 is

hereby stayed, subject to further order of the Court if Plaintiffs’ appeal

is dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 1st day of December, 2020.

2 The Court’s November 30 order [22] certifying the November 29 order for
immediate appellate review pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 1292(b) does not render the
November 29 order directly appealable. This is because the court of appeals has not,
as of this time, granted Plaintiffs permission to appeal.

PLAINTIFFS’ RESPONSE TO MOTION TO


INTERVENE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
GEORGIA, INC., THE DSCC, AND THE DCCC

Come now the Plaintiffs and submit the following response to the

motion to intervene of the Democratic Party of Georgia, Inc., the DSCC and

the DCCC (collectively, the “Proposed Intervenors”).

The motion to intervene should be denied because the Proposed

Intervenors do not have a significantly protectable interest under the


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 2 of 13

particular circumstances of this case, because their interests are adequately

represented by the State Defendants, and because their entry in this case as

parties is intended to delay its resolution until it is moot.

I. INTERVENTION AS OF RIGHT

1. C LAIMED I NTEREST TO I NTERVENE

The Proposed Intervenors cite authority for the proposition that

political parties and party organizations have a legally cognizable interest

based upon their associational standing to challenge registration and election

laws and regulations they claim disenfranchise their voters. See Motion and

Brief of Proposed Intervenors, at pp. 8-10. This case is distinct from those

relied upon by the Proposed Intervenors because several of the Plaintiffs here

are presidential electors and have clear standing to challenge fraud and

illegality in the presidential election under Carson v. Simon, 978 F.3d 1051

(8th Cir. 2020), in which presidential electors were the plaintiffs. Regarding

the injury-in-fact requirement, the Eighth Circuit held:

As candidates, the Electors argue that they have a cognizable


interest in ensuring that the final vote tally accurately reflects the
legally valid votes cast. An inaccurate vote tally is a concrete and
particularized injury to candidates such as the Electors. The
Secretary’s use of the consent decree makes the Electors’ injury
certainly-impending, because the former necessarily departs from
the Legislature’s mandates. Thus, the Electors meet the injury-in-
fact requirement.

Id. at 1058. The Eighth Circuit held the Elector plaintiffs also met the

causation and redressability requirements of standing:


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 3 of 13

Next, the Electors meet the causal-connection requirement because


the injury flows from the challenged conduct (the Secretary’s
policy). And, even though the Secretary and the Alliance do not
appear to challenge the redressability requirement, it is likely that
the requested relief (an injunction) will redress the injury (an
inaccurate vote tally) because the former will mitigate the latter.

Id. Therefore, the Elector plaintiffs had constitutional standing and were

found to have prudential standing as well.

The Proposed Intervenors are not presidential Electors and therefore

do not meet the injury-in-fact, causation, or redressability elements of

standing to be considered under Rule 24 intervention standards. Chiles v.

Thornburgh, 865 F.2d 1197, 1212–13 (11th Cir. 1989), citing, inter alia,

Donaldson v. United States, 400 U.S. 517, 531, 91 S.Ct. 534, 542, 27 L.Ed.2d

580 (1971); Howard v. McLucas, 782 F.2d 956, 959 (11th Cir.1986); Athens

Lumber Co., Inc. v. Federal Election Commission, 690 F.2d 1364, 1366 (11th

Cir.1982) (“[an interest under Rule 24(a)(2) means a “significantly protectable

interest . . . for an intervenor's interest must be a particularized interest

rather than a general grievance that requires evaluation of standing cases. . .

that are relevant to help define the type of interest that the intervenor must

assert.”). Here, the Proposed Intervenors have not demonstrated that their

interests would be substantially impaired if they were not permitted to

intervene.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 4 of 13

The DSCC is the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the

DCCC is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. They are the

Proposed Intervenors under a variant of the Willie Sutton Rule - that’s where

the money is. Yet having the money to finance a litigation war across the

United States does not without more establish a concrete interest sufficient

to support standing. This litigation concerns a presidential election. The

Proposed Intervenors did not nominate former Vice President Joe Biden for

President. That was the Democratic Party of the United States, which is not

a Proposed Intervenor. Jacobson v. Florida Secretary of State, 974 F.3d 1236,

1250-1252 (11th Cir 2020).

Finally, the authorities that the Proposed Intervenors cite to in their

Motion all deal with future elections and the effect of election laws and

procedures on their prospects in such elections. This case stands on a

different footing and should be analyzed according to its particular

circumstances. See e.g. Hunt v. Washington State Apple Advert. Comm'n, 432

U.S. 333, 343 (1977)(“[if] the association seeks a declaration, injunction, or

some other form of prospective relief, it can reasonably be supposed that the

remedy, if granted, will inure to the benefit of those members of the

association actually injured.”). Unlike the prospective relief sought in the

cases cited by the Proposed Intervenors, the relief sought in this case is

retrospective. The candidates and their parties have finished campaigning


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 5 of 13

and their voters have voted. Therefore, the Proposed Intervenors’

associational standing analysis no longer pertains. See e.g. Donald J. Trump

for President, Inc. v. Cegavske, No. 220CV1445JCMVCF, 2020 WL 5626974,

at *4 (D. Nev. Sept. 18, 2020)(relief sought on behalf of an association’s

member voters that “no more directly and tangibly benefits [them] than it

does the public at large” insufficient to confer standing).

The Proposed Intervenors obviously have a strong rooting interest in

the outcome of the presidential election, but no matter how ardent their

interest may be in promoting their preferred candidate, it is not enough to

establish the significantly protectable interest required to warrant

intervention in this case under Rule 24. Jacobson, id.

The certification of statewide presidential election results lies with the

Secretary of State and the Governor. The litigation over the propriety of this

act also lies with them. Not everyone in the country who cares about the

outcome, or even an association of such partisans, is entitled to intervene in

this case.

2. T IMELINESS

Given the short time that has passed since the filing of the Complaint

and the motion to intervene, the timeliness element of the intervention

analysis under Rule 19 would normally be satisfied. However, as Einstein

postulated, time is relative. This case is operating on an extraordinarily short


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 6 of 13

timeframe because of the constitutionally imposed deadlines for the formal

vote of the Electoral College on December 14, 2020, and for the inauguration

of the President on January 20, 2021. What would certainly have been timely

in any other case is not timely here, despite the speed with which the

Proposed Intervenors have moved, because time is so short in this case.

3. P REJUDICE TO THE P LAINTIFFS

Proposed Intervenors make a related claim that Plaintiffs would suffer

no prejudice from the proposed intervention. This is almost certainly not true,

as it will be in the overwhelming interests of the Proposed Intervenors to

employ imaginative stratagems of delay and obstruction in order to run out

an already incredibly short clock.

4. I MPAIRMENT OF I NTERESTS

The Proposed Intervenors wax indignant at the possibility that millions

of their supporters might be disenfranchised “by judicial fiat” if the Court

grants Plaintiffs the relief they seek. But the Court would only invalidate the

election and order de-certification if it were convinced by the evidence that

the election was so corrupted by fraud and illegality as to be repugnant to the

laws of Georgia and the Constitution of the United States. In that event, the

Proposed Intervenors could have no legitimate or legally cognizable interest

in imposing upon the Plaintiffs, the State of Georgia, or anyone else in

America an election result that was infected by fraud and corruption.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 7 of 13

The Proposed Intervenors also contend that absent intervention they

might be forced to “divert resources to safeguard the certified statewide

results, thus implicating another of their protected interests.” The only

possible way they can divert resources to this purpose at this point is by

paying the six lawyers who have filed entries of appearance in this case to

intervene on their behalf. “[N]either [DSCC] nor [DCCC] explained what

activities the [they] would divert resources away from in order to spend

additional resources on … as precedent requires.” Jacobson at p. 1250

(collecting cases).

The election campaign is over and there is no more political

campaigning to be done. Citing cases about campaign expenses is beside the

point. Both political parties have spent vast sums on their respective

campaigns. One of them is going to lose. Fearing that money might go to

waste if one loses is not a legally cognizable interest to support intervention.

Fearing that money might be lost if the election were set aside for fraud and

illegality is not a legally protectible interest either. As the 11th Circuit held

in Jacobsen, partisan interest alone is not enough to confer standing:

An organization's general interest in its preferred candidates


winning as many elections as possible is still a “generalized
partisan preference[ ]” that federal courts are “not responsible for
vindicating,” no less than when individual voters assert an interest
in their preferred candidates winning elections. Gill, 138 S. Ct. at
1933; see also id. at 1932 (rejecting a voter's “hope of achieving a
Democratic majority in the legislature” as “a collective political
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 8 of 13

interest” that cannot establish standing). Harm to an organization's


generalized partisan preferences describes only “a setback to [its]
abstract social interests,” which is insufficient to establish a
concrete injury in fact. Havens Realty, 455 U.S. at 379, 102 S.Ct.
1114; see also *1251 Arcia v. Fla. Sec'y of State, 772 F.3d 1335,
1342 (11th Cir. 2014) (requiring “a concrete and demonstrable
injury, not an abstract social interest” for organizational standing
(alteration adopted) (internal quotation marks omitted)).

974 F.3d at 1250-1251.

5. A DEQUATE R EPRESENTATION

Proposed Intervenors claim their interests would not be adequately

protected unless they are permitted to intervene. The State Defendants have

certified the election results. They are vigorously defending that decision

through highly capable and experienced attorneys from the State Attorney

General’s office. The Proposed Intervenors and their counsel should know,

because that office has beaten them before. See, e.g. Anderson v.

Raffensperger, ___ F.Supp.3d ___ (2020 WL 60480248 N.D. Ga.).

The cases cited to support the right to intervene in this case largely

relate once again to upcoming elections, rather than a challenge to a

concluded election. A rooting interest is not sufficient.

II. PERMISSIVE INTERVENTION

The Proposed Intervenors next argue in the alternative for permissive

intervention. Despite the usual liberal construction of permissive

intervention, the risk of prejudice to the Plaintiffs from delays instituted by

the Proposed Intervenors is excessive. If their claimed interest is no more


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 9 of 13

than “to defend the constitutional right to vote of all of the eligible voters who

cast valid ballots in the November 3 general election,” brief, p. 19 (emphasis

added), they should intervene on the side of the Plaintiffs, because that is all

we seek as well. Unfortunately, the evidence shows strongly and clearly that

at a minimum tens of thousands of flagrantly illegal and fraudulent absentee

ballots were cast and counted, that the signature match requirement was

abolished de facto, and that enormous statistical anomalies are present in the

results that are almost impossible absent malign intervention through ballot

stuffing or hacking of the election system computers. Moreover, there is

evidence of illegal after-hours non-public counting of ballots at State Farm

Arena that further taints this election beyond redemption. The evidence

shows illegal and fraudulent ballots were counted in sufficient numbers to

place the outcome of the election in question. The election should therefore be

invalidated according to the most basic principles of election law. Why the

Proposed Intervenors want to prevent correction of this wrongdoing is

obvious but of course left unsaid in a fog of lofty rhetoric.

Lastly, that the Proposed Intervenors desire to defend the Settlement

Agreement challenged in this case does not provide a sufficient nexus to the

claims of fraud and illegality in the gathering and tabulation of Presidential

votes to warrant their intrusion into the litigation of those claims. See

SOSS2, Inc. v. United States Army Corps of Engineers, 403 F. Supp. 3d 1233,
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 38 Filed 12/02/20 Page 10 of 13

1240 (M.D. Fla. 2019) (the claimed interest to justify intervention must “be

one which substantive law recognizes as belonging to or being owned by the

[intervenor].”). Even if the Court were to accept the Proposed Intervenors’

interest as a party to the Settlement Agreement as one in which permissive

joinder might be appropriate, intervention should be limited to the issues

concerning the validity of the Settlement Agreement rather than an open

door to dog-pile its resources upon the Plaintiffs in aid of the Defendants that

actually hold the legally cognizable interest in resisting the Plaintiffs’ other

claims. See United States v. S. Fla. Water Mgmt. Dist., 922 F.2d 704, 707

(11th Cir. 1991) (“A nonparty may have a sufficient interest for some issues

in a case but not others, and the court may limit intervention accordingly.”);

Howard v. McLucas, 782 F.2d 956, 960–61 (11th Cir.1986) (restricting

intervenors to participation in the single, remedial issue for which they had

“standing”).

CONCLUSION

Wherefore, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Motion to Intervene

of the Georgia Democratic Party, Inc., the Democratic Senatorial Campaign

Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee be

denied. In the alternative, Plaintiffs request that the Court limit intervention

to issues concerning the validity of the Settlement Agreement at issue in this

case.

Re: Georgia Voter Integrity Project: Illegal Ballots Preliminary Results

This is an outline of the six analysis methods we have applied to the State of Georgia S a e and the
results we have obtained as of the date set forth above.

1. Residency Violations

We have evaluated early and absentee voters who were matched to the national change of
address database (NCOA) or are found to have registered to vote in other states subsequent to
their registration in target states (OOSSR), strongly indicating a violation of residency
requirements.

NCOA OOSSR Merged

GA 15,700 4,926 20,312

The OOSSR would be much higher, but we limited due to the lack of full dates of birth available
o f om man a e o e da aba e A f ll comple e bi hda e i nece a fo o ma ch
process.

2. Double Voting (Early/Absentee ONLY)

We compared the target state early and absentee voters to other states voting data and
identified individuals who cast early/absentee ballots in multiple states.

GA: 395

3. Confirma ion of Unre rned Ab en ee Ballo

I obtained data from the State via L2 Political after the November 3, 2020, Election Day. This
data identified 138,029 voters who were sent an absentee ballot but who failed to return the
absentee ballot.

We then called a sample of these voters totaling 772 individuals to ask if they requested the
absentee ballot. Of the 772 individuals our call center contacted and spoke with whom the State
data identified as having requested an absentee ballot but the data identified as having not
returned the ballot, our call center identified 142 individuals who did not request an absentee

ballot. Among those who said they had requested an absentee ballot and answered whether
they had mailed the ballot back, 326 individuals told our call center that they returned a ballot

State Did Not Request Percentage of 2,114 Sample


Georgia 142 18.39%

State Returned Percentage of 2,114 Sample


Georgia 257 33.29%

4. Confirmation of National Change of Address Voters

We contacted individuals who have been recorded having voted but filed a national change of
address to confirm that they did indeed cast a ballot. Once again, our call center staff contacted
a random sample of 2,379 individuals from the State data. From these calls, our staff identified
2,379 individuals who told our call center staff they did cast a ballot and 18 individuals who told
our call center staff they did cast a ballot. The following counts and percent of people we
reached by phone told us they did NOT cast an early or absentee ballot despite the state
recording such a ballot.

State Total Percentage of Sample


Georgia 37 1.53%

5. Confirmation of Low Propensity in Heavy Turnout Precincts

We reached out to Individuals who were marked as having voted despite never voting, not
voting in many years, or just recently registered. We concentrated this in precincts with
unusually high turnout.

State Total Percentage of Sample


Georgia 24 0.85%

AFFIDAVIT OF BENJAMIN A. OVERHOLT

I, Benjamin A. Overholt, Ph.D., declare under penalty of perjury that the

following is true and correct:

1. I am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify herein. I have personal

knowledge of the matters stated herein.

2. I have an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Applied Statistics and Research Methods from

the University of Northern Colorado. I am currently an active federal civil

servant for over seven years and served in the United States Army for 15 years.

During that time, I spent more than five years reviewing election results for

the Voting Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department

of Justice in Washington, D.C.

3. I am familiar with and have analyzed public data from the office of the

Secretary of State of Georgia (the "SoS") regarding the recent presidential

election held on November 3, 2020 (the "2020 General Election".)

4. The plaintiff asked me to review the data available on the SoS website to

determine its usefulness in questioning the rejection rates of mailed ballots

("mailed ballots") in the 2020 General Election and to determine whether

anomalies existed that could change the outcome of the presidential race in

1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 45-3 Filed 12/03/20 Page 3 of 10

the 2020 General Election. Based on my experience and because of my

personal interest in the matter, I felt qualified to do so. I am not being

compensated for this work or for my time, rather, I am reviewing the data for

the sake of verifying outcomes.

Anomalies Based on Rejected Ballots - Signature Verificationand Missing Oath

5. I generated tabulations of mailed ballot rejection and spoil rates from 2016 to

2020 to check the accuracy of data on the SoS website and to demonstrate the

discrepancies in the number of mailed ballots that were "rejected" and

"spoiled" when comparing previous elections to the 2020 General Election.

All data used for this analysis was downloaded directly from the SoS 's public

website. The datafile for the 2020 General Election was last updated on

November 16, 2020. 1

6. In the datasets, the variables "Ballot Style", "Ballot Status", and "Status

Reason" are each critical to understanding ballot rejection reasons and rates.

"Ballot Style" is the type of ballot cast - values included are

"ELECTRONIC", "IN PERSON'', and "MAILED". In the results below, I

considered only those ballots marked as "MAILED". "BALLOT STATUS"

is the current status of a ballot, values are "A" for accepted, "C" for cancelled,

1

2
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 45-3 Filed 12/03/20 Page 4 of 10

"R" for rejected and" "for "spoiled". In this analysis only values "A'', ''R"

and "S" were considered.

7. There are over 6,000 different ''Status Reason" codes. They seem to be

handwritten phrases and include simiJarities such as "R-ADDR MISSING''

and "RADDR NOT A MATCH". The "grepl" function in R was used to search

for key words in "Status Reason". Table 1 shows the keywords searched for

that showed concerning discrepancies from 2016 to 2020 and are related to

signatures. To get the "[Percentage] of Mail In BaJlots" in Table 1, the

"Counts" were divided by the total number of mailed ballots with a Status of

"Accepted", "Rejected", or "Spoiled".

8. The data was sorted for the general and primary elections in 2016, 2018 and

2020 in Georgia, with a "g" or "p'' denominating the information in the

columns below, respectively.

9. Table 1 demonstratesthe reducedrate of rejectionfor reasons with the tenn

"SIG" and the near zero instancesof reasons with the tenn "OATH'' in the

2020 General Election. "SIG" is a shorthanddesignationfor mailed ballots

that were rejectedbecauseof a signaturemismatch.

10.As the oath portion of the ballot is the portionsigned,there is likely overlap

between Oath and Signatureissues. Consideringonly reasons with the tenn

"SIG", the rejectionrates were 0.28%in the 2016 general,0.20%in the 2018

generaland 0.28%in the 2020primarybut droppedto only 0.15%in the 2020

GeneralElection.

1I.Comparingthe 0.15% rate in the 2020 GeneralElectionto the 0.28% rate in

2016 and the 2020primarywouldsuggestsomewherearound 1,600additional

ballots should have been rejectedfor signatureissues.

12.Consideringthe number of ballots classifiedas rejected in the "OATH"row,

the rejectionrates were 0.60%in 2016, 1.33%in 2018, and near zero in 2020.

4
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 45-3 Filed 12/03/20 Page 6 of 10

The fact that there were two or three instances of "OATH" in both 2020

electionsfor spoiledballots shows that "OATH"issues are still possible,but

almosteliminatedcomparedto earlierelections.

13.Comparingthe 0.60% rate for 2016 and the 1.33%rejectionrate in 2018 to

the near zero rate in 2020 would suggestan additional7,900or 17,500ballots

should have been rejected,respectively. Togetherthe differencein rejection

reasons with the tenns "SIG" and "OATH"would account for more ballots

than the marginof victoryin the presidentialrace in the 2020GeneralElection

and might have affectedother state-wideor local races.

AnomaliesBasedon SpoiledBallots

14.1observed an additionalissue when I consideredthe rate of spoiled ballots.

Essentially,a spoiledballot is a ballotwith multiplemarkingsor damagethat

make it difficultto detenninethe voter's intent. In both 2016 and 2018, fewer

than 100 Mailed ballots were "Spoiled" (0.03% and 0.04% of Accepted,

Spoiled and Rejectedballots cast, respectively). In 2020, the corresponding

number increasedto 1,794 in the primary (0.15% of Accepted,Spoiled and

Rejected ballots cast) and 4,082 in the 2020 General Election (0.31% of

Accepted,Spoiledand Rejectedballots cast - nearly IOtimes the 2016 rate).

The rate of spoiledballots in the 2020 GeneralElectionwas twice the rate in

5
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 45-3 Filed 12/03/20 Page 7 of 10

the primary, over seven times the rate in 2018 and over 9 times the rate in

2016.

The Secretary of State Analysis

15.The office of the SoS published the results of its own review of this same data

(the "SOS Analysis")2, concluding that, "The number of absentee ballot

rejections for signature issues increased approximately 350% in the

November 2020 election in Georgia from the 2018 election." This conclusion

is misleading and the SOS Analysis is flawed in two material ways.

16.First, the SOS Analysis does not make any comparison to the most probative

election available, the 2016 General Election. Second, the SOS Analysis

inconsistently applies rules for computing the denominators for their

percentages.

https://sos.ga.gov/index.php/elections/number of absentee ballots rejected for signature issues in the 2020


election increased 350 from 2018

6
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 45-3 Filed 12/03/20 Page 8 of 10

17.In calculating the percentage of "Rejected" ballots, the SOS Analysis uses as

numerators (number of rejected ballots) the numbers 454, 3,266 and 2,011.

Those numbers are the number of ballots rejected in the 2018 General

Election, the 2020 Primary Election, and the 2020 General Election,

respectively, and are all reasonably close to the numerators used in my

analysis.

18.But the SOS Analysis uses differing denominators to calculate the reported

percentages. In the 2018 General Election, the SOS Analysis divided the

number of rejected ballots by a denominator which was the sum of all Ballot

Statuses (Accepted, Cancelled, Rejected, Spoiled, even the blanks) to get their

284,393 number, which would minimize the reported percentage.

19.For the 2020 Primary Election, the SOS Analysis divided total rejections by

Accepted ballots only. For the 2020 General Election, the SOS Analysis

divided the number of Rejected ballots by the total of all Accepted, Rejected

and Spoiled ballots (the method employed in this analysis). That was correct,

but the SOS Analysis for the 2018 General Election minimized the percentage

and maximized it for the 2020 Primary Election. The data in the article cited

above reporting the SOS Analysis was therefore generated improperly and

inconsistently and is misleading.

7
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 45-3 Filed 12/03/20 Page 9 of 10

Further Anomalies

20.There is one caveat regarding the dataset for the 2020 General Election. The

datafile contains records for 4,505,778 ballots while Georgia's official

election totals currently show a total of 4,998,482 votes cast for the top 3

candidates in the presidential contest. It is surprising that while the dataset I

used is missing around 500,000 votes, it is only missing 13 rejected ballots.

21. There are other anomalies in the reported data that should be analyzed, and

many raise significant questions about the conduct and results of the 2020

General Election. The effect of the difference in ballot totals on this analysis

is unknown and cannot be calculated without better understanding of the

underlying conduct of the election throughout Georgia. The recent "hand

recount" would not resolve these issues. I understand there are further

questions about the conduct and outcomes of that process.

Plaintiffs, CMLACTION

V. FILE NO. 1:20-CV-4809-TCB

BRIAN KEMP, et al. ,

Defendants.

DECLARATION OF MICHAEL BARNES

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I, MICHAEL BARNES, make the

following declaration:

1. My name is Michael Barnes. I am over the age of 21 years, and I

am under no legal disability which would prevent me from giving this

declaration. If called to testify, I would testify under oath to these facts.

2. I am currently the Director of the Center for Election Systems

within the Office of the Secretary of State. In my role as CES Director, I am

familiar with the operation of the State's Ballot Marking Device ("BMD")

Voting System.

3. Before each election, County officials load certain election data

1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52-1 Filed 12/03/20 Page 3 of 5

files onto the BMD's. Those data files contain the ballot content associated for

the precinct in which the BMD's will be deployed, the ballot activation codes

which correspond to the voter's appropriate ballot, and the audio files

associated with the ballot content for visually impaired voters.

4. Prior to loading the election data files referenced in Paragraph 3,

the election data files contained on the BMD from the previous election must

be removed since the BMD's host only one set of election files at a time.

Removal of those data files does not alter the source-code or operational

software of the BMDs.

5. Separate from the BMD's are Compact Flash Cards utilized by

the ballot scanners to tabulate results. These Compact Flash Cards contain

election files downloaded from the County's election management server

before each election which, like the BMD data files, correspond to the

particular election.

6. There are only a limited number of these Compact Flash Cards,

so they must be formatted and re-used for each election. When the Compact

Flash Cards are re-formatted, all the data contained therein is removed.

However, prior to re-formatting, the results and ballot images contained on

those Cards are uploaded to the county's election management server and

retained.

2
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52-1 Filed 12/03/20 Page 4 of 5

7. Even prior to use of BMD's in an election, these steps must be

taken so that the counties can conduct Logic and Accuracy testing as required

by Georgia law. See O.C.G.A § 21-2-379.25(c). Logic and Accuracy Testing, in

sum, simulates voting to ensure that the BMD's correctly record the votes

cast by electors. This process thus requires county officials to take the actions

outlined above, mark and print each ballot style, and then scan those test

ballots to ensure the scanners accurately record the votes contained on each

test ballot. County officials must similarly hand-mark and scan test ballots in

the same manner that an absentee-by-mail ballot would be marked as

scanned. Once Logic and Accuracy Testing is complete, and there is

confirmation that the tabulators accurately reflect the votes as intended,

those test results are cleared and ballots removed to prepare for election

voting.

8. Logic and accuracy testing is a labor-intensive and time-

consuming task. Counties normally begin this process of Logic and Accuracy

testing about two weeks in advance of scheduled use, but sometimes sooner

for larger counties with more devices to test. With early in-person voting

slated to begin on December 14th, it is my understanding that some counties

are scheduled to conduct this testing on BMD's and scanners this week.

STATE DEFENDANTS’ EMERGENCY MOTION


TO DISSOLVE, ALTER, OR AMEND TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT

Defendants Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State and Chair of the

State Election Board Brad Raffensperger, and State Election Board Members

David Worley, Rebecca Sullivan, Matthew Mashburn, and Anh Le

(collectively, the “State Defendants”), hereby move1 this Court to dissolve the

November 29, 2020 Temporary Restraining Order entered by the Court, [Doc.

1For the same reasons the Order is due to be dissolved, altered, or amended,
good cause exists to waive the time requirements of Local Rule 7.1 and treat
this motion as an emergency motion pursuant to Local Rule 7.2. Specifically,
without dissolution, alteration, or amendment, the ability of local county
officials to efficiently and securely conduct the upcoming January 5, 2021
Run-Off Elections will be significantly inhibited.
1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 2 of 16

14], or, in the alternative, to alter or amend that Order, showing the Court as

follows:

As this Court is aware, Georgians are set to choose their next United

States Senators and a Public Service Commissioner on January 5, 2020.

Early voting in the election commences in just over two weeks, on December

14, 2020. In-person early voting takes place on Georgia’s ballot marking

devices (“BMDs”), which are subject to Paragraph Two of the Court’s

November 29, 2020 Order granting emergency temporary injunctive relief

(the “Order” or “TRO”). Specifically, Paragraph Two provides that the State

Defendants (collectively, the “State”) are “ENJOINED and RESTRAINED

from altering, destroying, or erasing, or allowing the alteration, destruction,

or erasure of, any software or data on any Dominion voting machine in Cobb,

Gwinnett, and Cherokee Counties.”

With this Motion, the State seeks to amend Paragraph Two so that

counties may proceed with Logic and Accuracy testing needed to prepare the

machines for early, in-person and election-day voting as required by State

law.2 Without some modification, non-party Cobb County’s ability to prepare

2 Under Jacobson v. Florida Secretary of State, 974 F.3d 1236, 1253 (11th Cir.
2020), the State does not maintain the BMD’s at issue. Nevertheless, in the
light of the Order, and because the State is subject to the Order, it seeks the
relief articulated in this Motion.
2
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 3 of 16

for the January 5, 2021 Run-off Election will be significantly hindered if not

practically precluded altogether, while voters in Gwinnett County could be

deprived of the same rights to early voting as voters in other Georgia

counties. Cobb and Gwinnett voters may also be subject to long lines due to

an insufficient number of voting machines. There is no reason for these

outcomes and, consequently, the State respectfully requests that this Court

dissolve the TRO or otherwise modify Paragraph Two of the Order to permit

Cobb and Gwinnett County machines to be used in the rapidly approaching

Run-off Election.

ARGUMENT AND CITATION TO AUTHORITY

There are good grounds to grant the State’s Motion. First, the standard

to grant the State’s requested relief is broad, and this Court retains

jurisdiction to do so. Second, evidence attached to this Motion demonstrates

the need to use the Cobb and Gwinnett BMDs, which does not interfere with

any evidence the Plaintiffs may seek at some later time. Third, as this Court

has already recognized, Plaintiffs themselves have caused the delay in this

litigation. See [37, pp. 2–3]. They cannot now complain that immediate relief

remains warranted.

3
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 4 of 16

I. Applicable Legal Standard

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(4) authorizes the Court to

dissolve the Order quickly—in two days or less. Case law empowers this

Court with broad authority to do so. Collum v. Edwards, 578 F.2d 110, 113

(5th Cir. 1978) (addressing preliminary injunction). See also Mincey v. Head,

206 F.3d 1106 (11th Cir. 2000) (quoting American Home Assurance Co. v.

Glenn Estess & Assocs., 763 F.2d 1237, 1238–39 (11th Cir. 1985) (addressing

Rule 59(e) and amendment of judgments)). Similarly, Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 62(d) permits this Court to “suspend, modify, restore, or grant an

injunction on terms for bond or other terms that secure the opposing party's

rights,” while an appeal is pending.

Some Courts treat a motion seeking to dissolve or modify an injunction

while an appeal is pending as a motion for reconsideration (which in turn

falls within Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e)), justified whenever any one of the following

three instances is demonstrated: “(1) there has been an intervening change in

the law, (2) new evidence has been discovered that was not previously

available to the parties at the time the original order was entered, or (3)

reconsideration is necessary to correct a clear error of law or prevent

manifest injustice.” Securities & Exchange Comm’n v. Conversion Solutions

Holding Corp., No. 1:06-cv-2568-CC, 2008 WL 11407217 (N.D. Ga. Jul. 21,

4
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 5 of 16

2008) (citing Bryan v. Murphy, 246 F. Supp. 2d 1256, 1258–59 (N.D. Ga.

2003) (emphasis added) (applying Fed. R. Civ. P. 59)). Other courts have

taken a broader approach, applying “general equitable principles.” Huk-A-Poo

Sportswear, Inc. v. Little Lisa, Ltd., 74 F.R.D. 621, 623 (S.D.N.Y. 1977).

Plaintiffs’ Notice of Appeal suggests this Court is now divested of

jurisdiction. [Doc. 32]. Plaintiffs are wrong. This Court “retain[s] jurisdiction

over motions for alteration or amendment” of its Order, even after a notice of

appeal is given. Wright & Miller, 11 Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. § 2810.1 (3d ed.

Oct. 2020 Update). At the very least, courts in the Eleventh Circuit consider

motions for reconsideration to be encompassed within the provisions of

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e). See Green v. Drug Enforcement Admin.,

606 F.3d 1296 (2010); see also Dixit v. Singh, No. 1:18-cv-403-TWT (N.D. Ga.

Apr. 23, 2018).

II. The Order should be dissolved or amended since information is


already retained and it imposes undue hardship on non-parties.

A. Election data is retained under existing processes.

Plaintiffs contend that an immediate temporary restraining order is

necessary because they fear the voting machines will be “wiped” before the

upcoming elections and forensic data will be lost. [Doc. 6]. Plaintiffs again are

wrong. A basic understanding of the State’s elections system instead shows

5
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 6 of 16

that data from the election is stored in three different ways following

completion of the election, even in the absence of the Court’s Temporary

Restraining Order.

Before each election, Ballot Marking Devices (“BMDs”) utilize USB

drives to load certain election data files onto the BMDs. See Declaration of

Michael Barnes, ¶ 3, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Those election data files

contain blank ballot images for each precinct associated to the BMD for the

previous election, the ballot activation codes needed to access each associated

ballot, and the audio files associated to the content within the ballot images

for visually impaired voters. Id. Before a new election occurs, the election

data files from the most-recent election must be removed from the BMDs, as

the BMDs host only one set of those files at a time. Id. at ¶ 4. The removal of

election data files does not alter the operational software or source code of the

BMDs. Id.

Separate from the BMDs, scanners are employed to count the paper

ballots produced by the BMD and attached printer; those scanners utilize

Compact Flash Cards. These Compact Flash Cards contain election files

downloaded from the county’s election management server before each

election—like the files used in the BMD, the files employed with the scanners

correspond to the particular election. Id. at ¶ 5. There are only a limited


6
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 7 of 16

number of these cards, so they must be formatted and re-used for each

election. Id. at ¶ 6. The formatting removes all data previously held by the

Compact Flash Cards. However, before the formatting occurs, the results

contained in the memory cards are uploaded to the specific county’s election

management server, and retained. Id. Thus, the data is securely stored after

each election and before the removal of the data from the Compact Flash

Cards.

Finally, the paper ballots on which votes were cast are also retained. In

Georgia’s BMD System, a voter makes their selection on the BMD which is

connected to a printer that produces a paper ballot. That ballot is then taken

to a precinct scanner which records the votes contained on the paper ballot

and deposits the ballot into a secure box. With respect to absentee-by-mail

and provisional ballots, those ballots are similarly counted by a scanner and,

like the in-person ballots, are retained.

All of this data is required by Georgia law to be retained, even in the

absence of the TRO. Indeed, Code Section 21-2-500 requires the following

information to be stored with the Clerk of Superior Court or other County

Officer designated by the County governing authority:

the used and void ballots and the stubs of all ballots used; one
copy of the oaths of poll officers; and one copy of each numbered
list of voters, tally paper, voting machine paper proof sheet, and
7
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 8 of 16

return sheet involved in the primary or election. In addition, the


superintendent shall deliver copies of the voting machine ballot
labels, computer chips containing ballot tabulation programs,
copies of computer records of ballot design, and similar items or
an electronic record of the program by which votes are to be
recorded or tabulated, which is captured prior to the election, and
which is stored on some alternative medium such as a CD-ROM
or floppy disk simultaneously with the programming of the
PROM or other memory storage device. The clerk, county records
manager, or the office or officer designated by the clerk shall hold
such ballots and other documents under seal, unless otherwise
directed by the superior court, for at least 24 months, after which
time they shall be presented to the grand jury for inspection at its
next meeting.

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-500(a). Thus, to the extent Plaintiffs can later demonstrate a

need for any of this information, it remains available for inspection even in

the absence of the Temporary Restraining Order.

B. Enforcement of the Order will impose undue hardship on non-party


counties and their voters.

Continued enforcement of Paragraph Two’s embargo of the BMDs

would cause substantial harm to Georgia voters in Cobb and Gwinnett

counties, and in turn, the State election system and Georgia voters generally.

Specifically, continued segregation of the counties’ voting machines pursuant

to the TRO would significantly and materially interfere with preparation for

the upcoming runoff election.

Early voting is set to begin on December 14 for the January 5, 2021

State and Federal General Election Runoff for two seats in the United States

Senate and one seat on Georgia’s Public Service Commission. See O.C.G.A. §

21-2-385(d)(1) (establishing a period for advance voting). These elections will

not happen with the flick of a switch, instead requiring significant advance

preparations that must begin prior to dissolution date of the TRO. These

activities include conducting essential Logic and Accuracy testing on the

machines, a requirement of State law, which must be conducted on the BMDs

prior to their use for both early and election day voting. See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-

379.25(c), Ga. Comp. R & Regs. r. 183-1-12-.08. The Logic and Accuracy

testing, in turn, requires removal of the files from the previous election and

utilization of files for the current election, as described in Section II.A., supra.

Ex. 1 at ¶ 7.

Under state law, the BMDs must be utilized for both early in-person

and election day voting. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-300. In Gwinnett County, the BMDs

are utilized for the County’s 156 voting precincts and nine advance-voting

locations. See Declaration of Kristi Royston, ¶ 3, attached hereto as Exhibit

2. Prior to entry of the TRO, Gwinnett County intended to begin testing of

BMD’s which will be utilized for early in-person voting this week. Id. at ¶ 9.

Gwinnett County has not yet begun that testing due to the TRO. Id. Unless
9
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 10 of 16

Gwinnett County is able to begin testing this week, “it will not be possible to

timely execute all of the tasks necessary to facilitate the opening of [early in-

person voting] in the County for what is anticipated to be a high turnout

runoff election.” Id. at ¶ 10. While Cobb County, on the other hand, possesses

sufficient BMDs not subject to the TRO for early in-person voting, it intends

to use BMDs that are subject to the TRO on election day. See Declaration of

Janine Eveler, ¶¶ 4–5, attached hereto as Exhibit 3. However, Cobb County

must begin Logic and Accuracy by December 8, 2020 to ensure the machines

are ready for deployment on election day. Id. at ¶ 6. Put simply, Cobb and

Gwinnett counties will be unable to be prepared for voting under the extant

TRO.

Thus, for at least Cobb and Gwinnett counties, the continued threat of

enforcement of the TRO (to which they are not a party) would rule out, or at

least make extremely difficult, any chance of readiness for early voting on

December 14 and election-day voting. This would unfairly impede Cobb and

Gwinnett election officials, and may well impose significant burden on those

counties’ voters from being able to participate in early voting, and could

ultimately lead to longer lines during the later days of early voting or election

day itself.

10
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 11 of 16

Furthermore, as a result of the disruption to elections activities in Cobb

and Gwinnett counties, the State would also suffer significant harm. The

State has a strong interest in running an efficient election. New Ga. Project v.

Raffensperger, 976 F.3d 1278, 1282 (11th Cir. 2020). Interruption of two

counties’ preparation processes and the resulting impact on early voting, and

on Election Day itself, frustrates this interest. The associated voter confusion

at the unanticipated elimination of the early-voting option, as well as other

realistic impacts on election day voting, is further disruptive. The harm to

the counties, Georgia voters, and the State election process itself cannot be

overstated. At this point, and particularly in the light of the delay caused by

the Plaintiffs’ litigation strategy, Paragraph Two of the Order requiring

segregation of the BMDs is simply not compatible with the Sate’s interest in

running a smooth election. Due to the significant harms imposed on the

counties and on Georgia’s election system, the Order should be dissolved, or

at least amended.

The State has satisfied either Rule 59’s three factor test or Rule

65(b)(4)’s more flexible “general equitable principles” standard. See Little

Lisa, Ltd., 74 F.R.D. at 623. Here, both the second and third circumstances—

new evidence or preventing manifest injustice—are applicable. See

Conversion Solutions Holding Corp., 2008 WL 11407217 at * 1. As explained,


11
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 12 of 16

evidence which was not previously available at the time this Court’s Order

was entered demonstrates that counties may be unable to complete pre-

election Logic and Accuracy Testing required by State law while complying

with the Order. As to the third circumstance, this new evidence further

shows that this Court’s Order may well impose manifest injustice upon

Georgia voters in the affected counties, hindering their ability to vote with

ease while the State’s other 156 counties are not subject to the Order (to the

extent the three counties named therein are subject to it at all).

III. The Order should be dissolved since Plaintiffs have failed to


add non-party county officials, rendering the relief ordered
improper.

During the TRO hearing on Sunday, November 29, the Plaintiffs

represented to the Court that they seek to bring in the relevant counties, as

they are the ones in the control of the BMDs. Indeed, multiple counsel for the

Plaintiffs indicated that counties could and later would be brought in

“tonight,” meaning over three days ago. [Doc. 23] (TRO Hr’g) Tr. 27:13-14;

36:23-25. Plaintiffs’ counsel went even further and promised that if “the

Court gives us until Tuesday to examine, we will add the counties that the

Court lets us go examine, we will do it add them tomorrow; add them

tonight.” (Id. at 24:11-14).

12
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 13 of 16

Since Sunday, Plaintiffs have hosted rallies, filed an appeal in the

Eleventh Circuit, and engaged in an aggressive social media campaign falsely

accusing elected State Officials of fraud and crime. They have not, however,

lived up to their representation to this Court to add the necessary parties. As

the Court may recall, it was initially going to deny the TRO, and it may have

granted limited relief under the belief that the Plaintiffs meant what they

said and said what they meant when they represented they would bring in

the proper parties to this litigation.

As the case now sits before this Court, binding precedent forecloses any

of the relief Plaintiffs sought with the TRO (beyond preserving information

held by the State). See Jacobson v. Florida Sec’y of State, 974 F.3d 1236, 1253

(11th Cir. 2020). Plaintiffs attempt to evade Jacobson’s binding precedent by

claiming it is only about Florida law. TRO Hr’g Tr. 22:13. Plaintiffs’

argument reads Jacobson far too narrowly, as Judge William Pryor

considered language from a Florida statute that is substantively the same as

Georgia’s (both identify the Secretary as the “Chief Election Officer”). Id. This

language, the same Plaintiffs cite, proved insufficient to establish traceability

of every election issue to the Secretary. Id. Applying Georgia law, United

States District Court Judge Michael L. Brown came to the same conclusion

earlier this year in Anderson v. Raffensperger, 1:20-CV-03263, 2020 WL


13
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 52 Filed 12/03/20 Page 14 of 16

6048048, at *23 (N.D. Ga. Oct. 13, 2020). This lack of State authority and

control provides another reason to amend the Order and allow the BMDs to

be prepared for use in Cobb and Gwinnett Counties.

In sum, the State has demonstrated that “general equitable principles”

warrant modifying the Order. Little Lisa, Ltd., 74 F.R.D. at 623. On the one

hand, a continued embargo of the BMDs will prevent voters in Gwinnett from

having access to the machines during early voting and will inhibit Cobb from

preparing its machines for election day. This will likely cause longer lines,

voter confusion, and longer tabulation times. On the other hand, allowing the

BMDs to be used does not harm Plaintiffs in the slightest. The State is

maintaining all paper ballots, and electronic information is saved on the

State’s Election Database. Time is of the essence, and the Court’s relief is

needed now.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, State Defendants respectfully request this

Court dissolve or modify the TRO to prevent unintended impacts on Georgia’s

Run-off Election.

Respectfully submitted this 3rd day of December 2020.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE


NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
ATLANTA DIVISION

CORECO JA QAN PEARSON, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v. CIVIL ACTION FILE


NO. 1:20-cv-04809-TCB
BRIAN KEMP, in his official
capacity as Governor of Georgia,

Defendants.

CONSOLIDATED MOTION TO INTERVENE BY GWINNETT BORE


WITH BRIEF IN SUPPORT

Stephen Day, John Mangano, Alice O Lenick, Ben Satterfield, and

Wandy Taylor, members of the Gwinnett County Board of Registrations and

Elections (“Gwinnett BORE” or “Proposed Intervenors”) file this motion to

intervene as objectors. Intervention is appropriate under Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure 24(a) and (b) for the following reasons.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

On November 20, 2020, Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State

Brad Raffensperger certified the election results. This certification followed

an audit by hand recount in Georgia which affirmed the results.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 2 of 9

Plaintiffs asked this Court to enter an order decertifying the results

and “requiring Governor Kemp to transmit certified election results that

state that President Donald J. Trump is the winner of the election.” Compl. ¶

211(3). Plaintiffs Complaint was filed more than three weeks after the

general election, and five days after Georgia certified the results.

The Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) issued by this Court on

November 29, 2020 [Doc. 14] is materially delaying the ability for the

Gwinnett BORE to ready its equipment and polling locations for the

upcoming January 5, 2020 runoff election and the early voting process for

that election, which begins on December 14, 2020. A hearing on the TRO was

scheduled to take place today, December 4, 2020, but this Court cancelled the

hearing on December 2, 2020 [Doc. 40] and has not provided any further

indication as to when the TRO will be resolved.

Each day the TRO remains in effect, it is increasingly difficult for the

Gwinnett BORE to ensure it is adequately prepared for the upcoming runoff

election, as outlined in the Declaration of Kristi Royston, filed yesterday.

[Doc. 52-2]. Specifically, if the Gwinnett BORE is unable to begin Logic and

Accuracy testing on its voting machines and other equipment immediately, it

will be unable to open all of its early-voting sites on December 14, as it had

planned to do. Id. at ¶ 14.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 3 of 9

The Gwinnett BORE files this motion to object to the TRO because its

interests will be materially and irreparably harmed if the TRO is not lifted.

The Gwinnett BORE has a significant stake in the outcome of this action and,

as one of Georgia s largest counties, can offer the Court useful insight on the

practical needs associated with applying the TRO to those who have a duty to

carry out the administration of elections.

ARGUMENT AND CITATION TO AUTHORITY

I. The Gwinnett BORE is entitled to intervention as of right.

Intervention as of right must be granted when (1) the motion to

intervene is timely; (2) the proposed intervenors possess an interest in the

subject matter of the action; (3) denial of the motion to intervene would affect

or impair the proposed intervenors ability to protect their interests; and (4)

the proposed intervenors interests are not adequately represented by the

existing parties to the lawsuit. Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2); Georgia v. U.S. Army

Co p of Eng , 302 F.3d 1242, 1250 (11th Cir. 2002). The Gwinnett BORE

satisfies each of these factors.

A. The Gwinnett BORE timely filed this Motion

The Gwinnett BORE filed this Motion just two days after this Court

signaled it would not resolve the status of the TRO as it had initially

scheduled. Because the Court has not provided a timeline of any kind now
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 4 of 9

that the hearing on the TRO has been delayed – or possibly outright

cancelled – the Gwinnett BORE is in the unique position of being prevented

by Court Order to prepare for an election that is mere days away.

B. The Gwinnett BORE has an interest in the outcome of this action


and denying its motion impair its ability to protect such interests.

The Gwinnett BORE cannot overstate the effect the TRO has on its

ability to adequately prepare for the upcoming runoff election. It is likely

that, in keeping with the general election one month ago, the runoff election

will have uncommonly high voter turnout, especially during early voting.

[Doc. 52-2 at ¶ 11]. As a result, successful administration of the election in

Gwinnett County will require all of the voting machines and polling places to

function at optimum capacity. [Doc. 52-2 at ¶¶ 9-12]. This capacity is

hindered by the delay brought on by this Court s TRO. [Doc. 52-2 at ¶ 13].

Indeed, if the Gwinnett BORE cannot begin programming machines today or

tomorrow, the county will only be able to have one early-voting site open on

December 14 instead of all nine locations that would be available absent the

TRO. [Doc. 52-2 at ¶¶ 16-18]. The massive diminution of resources and access

to voting sites in one of Georgia s counties could be a disaster for Gwinnett

County voters and potentially result in wholesale disenfranchisement of

hundreds of thousands of Georgians. Put simply, the Gwinnett BORE has an


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 5 of 9

acute interest in the outcome of this action, and denial of the motion to

intervene would absolutely affect or impair the proposed intervenors ability

to protect their interests.

C. The Gwinnett BORE is not adequately represented by the parties


to this action

While the Governor, Secretary of State, and the various election

officials named in this action have obvious interests in defending the state s

laws and their exercises of authority pursuant to those laws, the Gwinnett

BORE s focus is entirely separate from those interests, but just as important.

Moreover, a proposed intervenor s burden “should be treated as minimal,”

and it is sufficient “if the applicant shows that representation of his interest

may be inadequate.” Trbovich v. United Mine Workers of Am., 404 U.S. 528,

538 n. 10 (1972) (citing 3 B J. Moore, Federal Practice 24.09—1 (4) (1969));

Chiles v. Thornburgh, 865 F.2d 1197, 1214 (11th Cir. 1989).

Here, while Defendants have an interest in defending the actions of

state officials, they must parry the litany of accusations cast against them by

Plaintiffs. The Gwinnett BORE, on the other hand, is singularly focused on

expeditious resolution of the TRO that resulted from Plaintiffs accusations.

Moreover, the Gwinnett BORE faces practical hurdles in administering the

upcoming election unique to their circumstances. While there is certainly an


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 6 of 9

overlap of interests at times, no Defendant shares the interests of the

Gwinnett BORE. And because of this, they cannot rely on Defendants or

anyone else to provide adequate representation. They have thus satisfied the

four requirements for intervention as of right under Rule 24(a)(2).

II. The Gwinnett BORE should receive permissive intervention


from this Court.

If the Court does not grant intervention as a matter of right, the

Gwinnett BORE respectfully requests that the Court exercise its discretion to

allow them to intervene under Rule 24(b). The Court has broad discretion to

grant a motion for permissive intervention when it determines that: (1) the

proposed intervenors claim or defense and the main action have a question of

law or fact in common, and (2) the intervention will not unduly delay or

prejudice the adjudication of the original parties rights. See Fed. R. Civ. P.

24(b)(1)(B) and (b)(3); Chiles, 865 F.2d at 1213; Ga. Aquarium, Inc. v.

Pritzker, 309 F.R.D. 680, 690 (N.D. Ga. 2014). Even where courts find

intervention as of right may be denied, permissive intervention may

nonetheless be proper or warranted. Moreover, “the claim or defense clause of

Rule 24(b)(2) is generally given a liberal construction.” Id. The Gwinnett

BORE meets these requirements.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 7 of 9

Initially, the Gwinnett BORE s claims and defenses will inevitably

raise common questions of law and fact because they seek to ensure voters in

all elections have their vote counted. See Franconia Minerals (US) LLC v.

United States, 319 F.R.D. 261, 268 (D. Minn. 2017) (“Thus, applicant[ s]

claims and the main action obviously share many common questions of law

and perhaps of fact.”). At bottom, Defendants are hoping to ensure that

voters in the last election have their votes counted. The Gwinnett BORE, on

the other hand, is focused on ensuring voters in the next election aren t

unnecessarily disenfranchised. And the TRO, as it stands, imperils the

legitimacy of both elections.

Finally, for the reasons set forth above, the motion to intervene is

timely, and given the early stage of this litigation, intervention will not

unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original

parties.

III. The Gwinnett BORE joins the State’s motion.

For purposes of its claims or defenses for which intervention is sought,

Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(c), the Gwinnett BORE joins the State Defendants

Emergency Motion to Dissolve, Alter, or Amend Temporary Restraining

Order [Doc. 52] and urges the Court to dissolve the TRO as quickly as
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 55 Filed 12/04/20 Page 8 of 9

practicable to allow programming of voting machines for early voting to

begin.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
ATLANTA DIVISION

L. Lin Wood, Jr.,

Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION FILE NO.


v. 20-cv-04651-SDG

Brad Raffensperger, in his official capacity


as Secretary of the State of Georgia, et al.,

Defendants.

AFFIDAVIT OF KIMBERLY BRANDON

Personally appeared before me, the undersigned subscribing officer, duly

authorized to administer oaths, Kimberly Brandon, who being duly sworn, deposed

and stated as follows:

1. My name is Kimberly Brandon. I am over 18 years of age, a citizen of

the State of Georgia, suffer from no legal disabilities, and am otherwise competent

to testify to the matters contained herein. I have personal knowledge of the facts

here, and if called as a witness, can testify completely thereto.

2. I am a resident of and registered elector in Cobb County, Georgia.

3. I volunteered to work as the Democratic site volunteer supervisor for

Cobb County, Georgia on November 13 through 15 of 2020, and was present on all

1
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-3 Filed 12/05/20 Page 2 of 6

three days as a monitor credentialed by the Democratic Party of Georgia to observe

the statewide hand recount of ballots cast in the 2020 Presidential Election in Cobb

County, Georgia (the “Recount”).

4. I arrived at the Event Center in Jim R. Miller Park, in Marietta, Georgia,

where the Recount was held each day I worked as a volunteer supervisor at around

1:00 p.m. My assigned shift on each day I volunteered was from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00

p.m.

5. I did not witness or otherwise observe any Cobb County election

official or officials treat credentialed monitors for the Republican Party any

differently than the way they treated credentialed monitors for the Democratic Party.

6. I did not witness or otherwise observe any Cobb County election

official or officials treat any credentialed monitors, regardless of party affiliation,

with any hostility.

7. I did not witness Cobb County Director of Elections Janine Eveler

treating monitors or public observers any differently based upon their party

affiliation.

8. I did not witness Director Eveler treating anyone with hostility or

behaving in any way that was less than professional.

2
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-3 Filed 12/05/20 Page 3 of 6

9. Instead, at least based on what I observed, Director Eveler appeared to

respond promptly to all inquiries, complaints, and questions from monitors and

observers regardless of their party affiliation. On Saturday, another election official

was supervising, and she also seemed to treat everyone fairly based on what I

observed.

10. I understand that an individual who claims to have observed the recount

in Cobb County on Monday, November 16, 2020, has submitted that the process was

“sloppy, unorganized, and suspicious.” However, I consider myself to be highly

organized and particular and, based on what I saw, nothing could be further from the

truth.

11. This is not to say that everything was constantly perfect. To be sure,

election officials had to hand count almost 400,000 ballots in Cobb County alone,

and invariably humans will make occasional mistakes. However, whenever anyone

reported any concern or mistake to Director Eveler, it was my observation that any

such issue was promptly, efficiently, and thoroughly addressed.

12. In addition, it was my observation that Director Eveler, or other

elections officials, were constantly available to questions and concerns.

13. On several occasions, I did witness Republican observers standing

closer to the audit tables than is recommended under Centers for Disease Control

3
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-3 Filed 12/05/20 Page 4 of 6

guidelines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first day or two of the

Recount this was reported to Director Eveler and promptly addressed by her. It was

clear to me that the Republican monitors wanted to be close enough to read each

ballot, which is more difficult from the necessary distance of six feet.

14. I did continue to escalate concerns when I observed Republican

credentialed monitors attempting to talk to or engage with the auditors, as this clearly

violated the rules that were explained to us.

15. I understand that an individual has submitted an affidavit to this Court

alleging that certain ballots looked and felt different. While I touched no ballots

personally, in accordance with the rules, I saw many ballots that were cast on

election day and marked by Ballot Marking Devices (“BMDs”) and absentee ballots

during the three days that I volunteered as a monitor. The BMD ballots from election

day do look different than absentee ballots. Absentee ballots are creased from

mailing and longer in size, and the BMD ballots generated by the in-person voting

machines are not creased, shorter, and list the name of the selected candidate, rather

than indicating the voter’s choice with a marked bubble next to the name of the

selected candidate in a list of all candidates.

16. I understand that certain individuals have submitted affidavits to this

Court claiming they observed irregularities in Cobb County during the Recount

4
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-3 Filed 12/05/20 Page 5 of 6

without providing further evidence of same. Notably, however, I witnessed

credentialed Republican monitors constantly taking video recordings and

photographs on their phone. Indeed, at one point a Republican credentialed monitor

took a video recording of me and my volunteer monitors where we were standing

and sitting outside of the counting area for what felt like ten minutes. We simply

ignored her and continued doing what we were there to do: observe the Recount.

However, if these individuals have credible allegations of irregularities or

improprieties having occurred, it would shock me that they would not have captured

any such occurrences on camera.

17. Each day I was present, there were at least ten monitors from each

political party present. At no point did I observe Republican monitors being denied

access or otherwise turned away.

18. To the extent any minor problems arose, I observed election officials

promptly address and rectify such issues with the audit teams directly. In general,

the process ran smoothly, everyone was treated fairly, and election officials were

working hard to complete the enormous task of hand counting hundreds of thousands

of ballots, under the watchful eye of tens of credentialed observers and more that

remained in the public viewing area, before the Recount deadline.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
ATLANTA DIVISION

L. Lin Wood, Jr.,

Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION FILE NO.


v. 20-cv-04651-SDG

Brad Raffensperger, in his official capacity


as Secretary of the State of Georgia, et al.,

Defendants.

AFFIDAVIT OF SARA GHAZAL

Personally appeared before me, the undersigned subscribing officer, duly

authorized to administer oaths, Sara Tindall Ghazal, who being duly sworn, deposed

and stated as follows:

1. My name is Sara Tindall Ghazal.

2. I am over the age of 18, and I am a licensed attorney in the state of

Georgia, and a resident and registered voter of Cobb County, Georgia.

3. From February 2018 until December 2019, I served as the voter

protection director for the Democratic Party of Georgia.

4. In 2017, I served as the Cobb County Democratic Party’s representative

on the Cobb Elections Vote Review Panel during the Sixth District Special Election.
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 2 of 9

5. In 2020, I was a candidate for State House in Georgia.

6. Beginning on midday Wednesday, November 4, through Monday,

November 9, I observed Cobb County officials undertake the intake, signature

verification, separation of ballots from their envelopes, duplication and adjudication

as necessary, and tabulation of absentee and provisional ballots, as a member of the

public.

7. Beginning Friday, November 13, through Monday, November 16, I

observed the audit of the Presidential race in Cobb County on behalf of the

Democratic Party of Georgia at Jim Miller Park, which was used as the main site for

Cobb County election processing, albeit not as a polling precinct.

8. On Wednesday, November 4, and subsequent days, I observed from the

public observation area as Cobb County officials examined incoming absentee

ballots that had arrived on Election Day in Room A of the Jim Miller Park facility.

9. I observed poll workers scan the bar codes with a hand-held bar code

scanner, which subsequently pulled up the individual voter record. Poll workers at

that point compared the voters’ signatures on the back of the absentee ballot

envelope with the signatures that were held on file.

-2-
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 3 of 9

10. While I could generally see the process of intake and signature

comparison, I was not close enough to the poll workers to be able to evaluate any

signature personally.

11. Monitors of each party who had been accredited in advance by their

political party had access to this room. I observed credentialed monitors from both

the Democratic Party of Georgia and the Georgia Republican Party present in the

facility.

12. I observed that after absentee ballots had been accepted based on the

verification of signatures from the outside of the ballot envelope against the

exemplars that were maintained on file, these ballots were then taken to a machine

in the back of room C that opened the envelopes in a rapid manner.

13. I understand, but did not personally witness, that after the envelopes

were opened, the ballots were separated from the envelopes with signatures in such

a manner as to guarantee the secrecy of the ballot, as is guaranteed under the Georgia

Constitution, Art. II Sec. 1(1)

14. After these ballots were separated, I witnessed poll workers organizing

them according to precinct. This batching process was conducted in room B.

-3-
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 4 of 9

15. In room C I witnessed multiple boxes that contained the ballot

envelopes with signatures, stacked in the back of the room. I was told by Cobb

County Registrar Beau Gunn that these documents must be retained for two years.

16. I witnessed batches of ballots then run through scanners in room C. In

most batches that were run through the scanners, one or more ballots could not be

read by the scanner. These ballots that could not be scanned were pulled from the

stack of ballots and set aside.

17. I witnessed the ballots that were unable to be scanned by the scanners

were subsequently delivered to tables, also in room C, where teams of two

individuals supervised by a third staff person duplicated the unreadable ballots onto

new, fresh absentee ballots that were not creased and had not been folded.

18. The process by which the rejected ballots were duplicated was as

follows: one staff person read out the voter’s choice while the other staff person

filled in the bubble carefully. The third supervisor would thereafter compare the

original ballot as completed by the voter against the duplicated ballot as completed

by the staff person. These staff people all used black pens to complete the duplicated

ballots.

19. In cases where the voter’s intent was unclear, or where the voter had

changed their mark, both the original unscannable ballot and the duplicated ballot

-4-
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 5 of 9

were submitted to a vote review panel, make up of representatives of both the county

Democratic and the county Republican Party. On at least one occasion I also

witnessed a representative of the Libertarian party on a vote review panel.

20. I witnessed the conduct of numerous vote review panels over the course

of the five days that I observed the original processing and tabulation of absentee

and provisional ballots. I did not observe a single occasion in which party officials

disagreed about the voter intent.

21. I also witnessed Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting

ACT (UOCAVA) ballots being processed.

22. Based on my knowledge and experience in Georgia election law, I am

aware that Georgia law allows for UOCAVA ballots to be emailed to overseas and

military voters. Voters then use their personal printers to print out their ballot on

normal paper, then complete these ballots by hand.

23. I witnessed UOCAVA ballots that had been printed on a home printer

being duplicated onto the normal absentee ballot forms so that they could be read by

a scanner.

24. I did not witness any actions or behavior that led me to believe that poll

workers were undertaking any activity aside from adhering to normal election

procedures in processing and tabulating absentee ballots.

-5-
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 6 of 9

25. Beginning the morning of Friday, November 13, through Monday,

November 16, I acted as an accredited monitor for the Democratic Party of Georgia.

26. Based on previous statements from Georgia Secretary of State Brad

Raffensperger and conversations with Cobb County Election Supervisor Janine

Eveler, I had understood that a statewide race other than the Presidential election

would be selected for an audit, as per the requirements of OCGA 21-2-498.

27. I was quite surprised to learn that the race to be selected for an audit

was the Presidential race. Given my understanding of Risk Limiting Audits (RLAs,)

I knew that this meant a huge number of ballots would have to be pulled in order to

ascertain whether the tabulation process had correctly identified the winner of that

race.

28. It is my understanding that based on the extreme challenges of pulling

more than 1,000,000 randomly selected ballots, the exercise of auditing the

Presidential race would instead consist of hand-examining every ballot that was cast

in that race.

29. Because Georgia law does not allow for a hand-recount of ballots

except for the extremely limited circumstances of a court order or a lack of any

functioning scanners, I am not aware of any pre-existing procedures to conduct an

audit (or a hand-recount) of all ballots in Georgia.

-6-
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 7 of 9

30. In the absence of any written procedures, I witnessed Cobb officials

instructing poll workers who had been brought back in on very short notice to

recount the ballots without providing specific instruction as to how that counting

should be conducted.

31. I heard a poll manager admonish poll workers to keep talking to a

minimum so as not to distract the staff from the task at hand.

32. I witnessed up to 40 teams of individual poll workers hand reviewing

and hand counting both machine-marked and absentee ballots.

33. I witnessed occasional mistakes caused by human error and fatigue,

such as placing a single ballot in the wrong pile or ballots sticking together and being

counted as a single sheet of paper. In every instance of a human error that I

personally witnessed, another poll worker was able to correct this mistake.

34. During the process of the audit, I also witnessed additional vote review

panels re-adjudicating duplicated ballots against the original ballots as completed by

the voter to confirm both that the ballots had been accurately duplicated, and that the

duplicated ballots had been accurately tabulated.

35. I witnessed Cobb officials pulling both the original ballots that had been

rejected by the scanners, as well as the duplicated ballots that had been adjudicated

during the original processing and subsequently tabulated.

-7-
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-11 Filed 12/05/20 Page 8 of 9

36. The vote review panels first were presented with both the original ballot

and the duplicated ballot, when they confirmed that the serial number that was

provided to each matched, and that the Presidential race was accurately duplicated

from the original to the new ballot.

37. After confirming that each duplicated ballot was matched up to its

corresponding original ballot, each pile was counted to confirm a match.

38. The vote review panel members then separated the ballots according to

the presidential candidate chosen by the voter, and thereafter counted the number of

ballots for each candidate and recorded these numbers on their tally sheet.

39. Several of these panels adjudicated UOCAVA ballots as a part of their

duties. Based on the comments of the panelists that I heard as observing, I believe

that these vote review panel members did not understand how UOCAVA ballots are

transmitted to overseas voters, or why they have to be duplicated onto a ballot paper

that can be read by a scanner.

40. The same procedures were followed over multiple days and multiple

panels.

41. I am aware that several affidavits submitted by the Plaintiff in this case

suggest there was something suspicious or irregular about the fact that certain ballots

appeared “pristine” or “impeccab[ly]” filled in, and that those same ballots lacked

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
ATLANTA DIVISION

L. Lin Wood, Jr.,

Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION FILE NO.


v. 20-cv-04651-SDG

Brad Raffensperger, in his official capacity


as Secretary of the State of Georgia, et al.,

Defendants.

AFFIDAVIT OF KOMAL PATEL

Personally appeared before me, the undersigned subscribing officer, duly

authorized to administer oaths, KOMAL PATEL, who being duly sworn, deposed

and stated as follows:

1. My name is KOMAL PATEL. I am over 18 years of age, a citizen of

the State of Georgia, suffer from no legal disabilities, and am otherwise competent

to testify to the matters contained herein. I have personal knowledge of the facts

here, and if called as a witness, can testify completely thereto.

2. I am a resident of and registered elector in DeKalb County, Georgia.


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-13 Filed 12/05/20 Page 2 of 5

3. On November 16, 2020, I was present as an observer credentialed by

the Democratic Party of Georgia to observe the statewide hand recount of ballots

cast in the 2020 Presidential Election in Clayton County, Georgia "*'& -$&%)+(*.#.

4. I arrived at the Clayton County Police Department, where the Recount

was held while I observed it, shortly after 8 a.m.

5. On arrival at the Police Department, I had no problems accessing the

room where the Recount was happening.

6. The space was small. But at no point was I concerned about the ability

to view what was happening in any part of the room. While waiting in the roped

off area (for the public, media, and party volunteers who took turns observing the

floor where people were counting), it was easy to see what was happening all

around the room. Any observer could easily see what was happening in any part of

the room merely by moving around a few steps.

7. While monitoring the counting floor , which involved actually

walking around next to the tables with people who were counting , I had access to

view each of the two-person audit teams at the tables. I could hear the auditors

announce and discuss the votes they counted on each ballot. I could also see the

selections voters had made on the ballots that the audit teams were recounting, and
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-13 Filed 12/05/20 Page 3 of 5

could see into what designated stack a given audit team placed each ballot. Other

credentialed observers had the same access as I did.

8. While I was present, I observed at least five individuals who I

understand were associated with the Trump Campaign and/or Republican Party. I

observed one of these individuals taking pictures and sending them to somebody

on his phone. I observed a Trump-Pence logo on those messages.

9. Additionally, I observed at least three of these individuals causing

disruptions in the Recount room. For example, one of the individuals began

complaining to an election official that the County was not following the rules by

permitting only one monitor per party even though there were 12 tables in the

room. I understand this is the subject of the Affidavit submitted by Ibrahim Reyes.

The individuals I observed were being highly combative and were disruptive.

This resulted in an election official ultimately asking a couple of the individuals to

4*.102'2,-7 leave the Recount room.

10. While I was observing the Recount, in addition to the 5 Republican

observers, there were approximately 6 other credentialed observers present, with

about 4 representing the Democratic Party, and 2 from the Carter Center

(additional non-credentialed observers remained in the public viewing area).


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 59-13 Filed 12/05/20 Page 4 of 5

11. Each party, both Republican and Democratic, as well as the Carter

Center, had monitors present and on the floor of the Recount throughout the time I

was present. The monitors for each party, and the Carter Center, alternated on the

floor. The same rules were applied to all credentialed observers.

12. I also observed a group of individuals I understood to be the members

of a vote review panel. I saw at least two of the individuals affiliated with the

Republican Party serve on this panel.

13. I also saw two or three members of the news media and other

members of the public observing the Recount from a designated area.

14. I observed no inaccuracies, improprieties, inconsistencies, or other

problems during the Recount. The audit teams I observed appeared to be counting

correctly. The process ran smoothly, minus the above-mentioned disruptions.

15. Around noon, after approximately 3 hours of observation, I left the

Recount because the County took a break for lunch.

16. I learned from a notice posted by the County in the room where the

morning Recount took place that the Recount was being moved to the Jackson

Elementary School gymnasium in the afternoon of November 16, 2020 (beginning

at 1:30 p.m.). I did not attend the afternoon session of the Recount on November

16, 2020.

Secretaries of State NASS President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election

and Maria Bianchi Democracy Works released the following statement:
“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country,
election o icials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the
result.
“When states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the
2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count
each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for
the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting
system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.

“Other security measures like pre election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the
U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s EAC certification of voting equipment help to build
additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.
“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the
process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and
TLP:WHITE
integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections o icials as

RE: Absentee Ballot Signature Review Guidance

County registrars and absentee ballot clerks are required, upon


receipt of each mail-in absentee ballot, to compare the signature or
mark of the elector on the mail-in absentee ballot envelope with the
signatures or marks in eNet and on the application for the mail-in
absentee ballot. If the signature does not appear to be valid, registrars
and clerks are required to follow the procedure set forth in O.C.G.A. §
21-2-386(a)(1)(C).

When reviewing an elector’s signature on the mail-in absentee ballot
envelope, the registrar or clerk must compare the signature on the
mail-in absentee ballot envelope to each signature contained in such
elector’s voter registration record in eNet and the elector’s signature
on the application for the mail-in absentee ballot.1 If the registrar or
absentee ballot clerk determines that the voter’s signature on the mail-
in absentee ballot envelope does not match any of the voter’s
signatures on file in eNet or on the absentee ballot application, the
registrar or absentee ballot clerk must seek review from two other
registrars, deputy registrars, or absentee ballot clerks.

A mail-in absentee ballot shall not be rejected unless a majority of the


registrars, deputy registrars, or absentee ballot clerks reviewing the
signature agree that the signature does not match any of the voter’s
signatures on file in eNet or on the absentee ballot application. If a
determination is made that the elector’s signature on the mail-in
absentee ballot envelope does not match any of the voter’s signatures
on file in eNet or on the absentee ballot application, the registrar or
absentee ballot clerk shall write the names of the three elections
officials who conducted the signature review across the face of the
absentee ballot envelope, which shall be in addition to writing
“Rejected” and the reason for the rejection as required under OCGA
21-2-386(a)(1)(C). Then, the registrar or absentee ballot clerk shall
commence the notification procedure set forth in O.C.G.A. § 21-2-
386(a)(1)(C) and State Election Board Rule 183-1-14-.13.

Once the registrar or clerk verifies a matching signature, they do not need to continue to review additional
signatures for the same voter.

OFFICIAL ELECTION BULLETIN

TO: County Election Officials and County Registrars

FROM: Chris Harvey, Elections Division Director

RE: Allowing More Credentialed Monitors at Risk Limiting Audit


Allowing Libertarian Party Monitors

There has been some concern about the appropriate number of political party monitors eligible
to view the audit process. The rules that the Secretary of State’s office put out require that
Superintendents allow a minimum of two political party monitors from each party, with
additional monitors if there are more than twenty audit teams. For example, if DeKalb has 75
audit teams, they would have to allow a minimum of 8 designated monitors for each party.
Additionally, as the Libertarian Party (technically a political body) has a candidate on the ballot
for President, the same standards should be applied to the designated monitors from the
Libertarian Party.

As an addendum to the rules on political parties monitors and because transparency should be
a guiding principle throughout this process, if Election Superintendents can safely allow more
than the minimum number of designated political party monitors consistent with maintaining
an orderly process, space limitations, social distancing/public health guidelines then you should.
Please allow as much transparency as you can while maintaining a secure, orderly process and
abiding your public health regulations.

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
ATLANTA DIVISION

FAIR FIGHT ACTION, INC., et al.,

Plaintiffs, CIVIL ACTION FILE NO.

v.

BRAD RAFFENSPERGER, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary

Injunction concerning the State of Georgia’s recent voter list maintenance

activities in which the status of a large number of Georgia voters on the State’s

inactive elector list was changed to cancelled status. Doc. No. [159].1

The Court recognizes that Plaintiffs use the words “removed” and “purged”
throughout their arguments. However, Defendants have presented evidence and
assert that the use of these words to describe the present circumstances is not correct,
because no voter is ever removed from the voter rolls. In the process of voter list
maintenance (which is permitted under applicable federal law, specifically the
National Voter Registration Act, “NVRA,” 52 U.S.C. § 20501, et al.), the affected voter’s

According to a press release from the Secretary of State’s Office, the list

was comprised of 313,243 inactive voters.2 Of these 313,243, there were 108,306,

who had filed a change of address request with the United States Postal Service

showing they have moved to a different county or state and 84,376, who had

election mail returned as undeliverable, totaling 192,682. For purposes of the

pending motion, Plaintiffs are not contesting the cancellation of the

registrations of these 192,682 voters. It is the remaining 120,561 voters (defined

as having had no contact with their county election officials since

January 1, 2012 and did not respond to two notices), which are at issue.

Subsequent to the filing of Plaintiffs’ motion, the Secretary of State returned

22,000 of the 120,561 voters to the voting roll (after review of Plaintiffs’ briefing

status is changed from inactive to cancelled, which means that the voter is no longer
eligible to vote. Doc. No. [172], p. 10, n.6 (citing Harvey Dec. ¶ 5). Notwithstanding
Defendants’ argument, the Court recognizes that the applicable Georgia statute
utilizes the word “removed.” See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-235(b) (“the elector shall be removed
from the inactive list of electors.”) (emphasis added).

and based upon the definition of a calendar year). Thus, it is now

approximately 98,000 voters that are at issue.3

I. BACKGROUND4

In 2018, Plaintiffs Fair Fight Action, Inc. (“Fair Fight Action”), Care in

Action, Inc. (“Care in Action”), Ebenezer Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia,

Inc. (“Ebenezer”), Baconton Missionary Baptist Church, Inc. (“Baconton”),

Virginia-Highland Church, Inc. (“Virginia-Highland”), and The Sixth

Episcopal District, Inc. (“Sixth Episcopal District”) (collectively, the

“Plaintiffs”) sued Defendants Brad Raffensperger (in his official capacity as

Secretary of State of the State of Georgia and as Chair of the State Election Board

of Georgia), Members of the State Election Board in their official capacities

(Rebecca N. Sullivan, David J. Worley, and Seth Harp), and the State Election

At the December 16, 2019 hearing, Defense Counsel indicated that there were about
50,000 of these individuals who would have been canceled under Plaintiffs’
interpretation of the law. However, Plaintiffs state that this number is incorrect and
was probably based on the misunderstanding as to the calendar year for purposes of
counting inactivity. Plaintiffs expert also explained that other corrections were also
made by the Secretary of State based on a data transfer issue. See Dec. 19, 2019

Board (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging that there are “serious and

unconstitutional flaws in Georgia’s elections process” and that Defendants’

actions have “deprived Georgia citizens . . . particularly citizens of color, of

their fundamental right to vote.” Doc. No. [41], ¶ 2. More specifically, Plaintiffs

allege that Defendants enforced unconstitutional and otherwise unlawful

legislation, such as O.C.G.A. § 21-2-234, which Plaintiffs refer to as “Use it or

Lose it” and Defendants characterize as voter list maintenance.5

At the time of the filing of Plaintiffs’ lawsuit, Georgia’s statutory voter

list maintenance authority was found in O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-234 and 235 and

required the Secretary of State to send a postcard to voters with whom there

had been “no contact” for three calendar years. If the voter failed to return the

postcard, the voter’s status was changed to “inactive.” If the voter still did not

vote in the next two general elections, he or she was removed from the

registration rolls (or as Defendants’ assert, the registration status was changed

to cancelled).

Plaintiffs also refer to the statute as “voter list purge,” which as stated above,
Defendants have presented evidence showing that this is an inaccurate description.

During the 2019 Legislative Session, the Georgia General Assembly

passed House Bill 316 (“HB 316”). HB 316, which was signed into law by the

Governor on April 2, 2019, amends the Georgia Election Code to, among other

things, provide for more notice under Georgia’s voter-list-maintenance

process. HB 316 amended O.C.G.A. § 21-2-234 to mandate that the Secretary of

State cannot remove voters from registrations rolls unless there has been “no

contact” with them for five calendar years—as opposed to the previous three

calendar years. See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-234(a)(2). HB 316 also amended O.C.G.A.

§ 21-2-234 to require notice to the voter not less than thirty days but no more

than sixty days prior to the cancellation of the voter’s registration. Id. § 235(b).

The approximately 98,000 voters presently at issue are the voters who

were placed on the inactive list (for no contact) under the prior statutory

provision of three years “no contact” and prior to the enactment of HB 316’s

five year “no contact” provisions. Defendants do not see HB 316 as retroactive

or “backward” looking and have subjected the voters at issue to voter

registration cancellation, even though they had less than five calendar years of

no contact prior to being placed on the inactive elector list. Doc. No. [159-2],

p. 11.

In Count IV of their Complaint, as amended, Plaintiffs allege that

Georgia’s voter-list-maintenance process violates Georgia voters’ rights to

procedural Due Process under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the

United States Constitution. Doc. No. [41], ¶¶ 69–81, 205. The Complaint further

states: “[t]he “use it or lose it” statute, as well as its enforcement by Defendants,

unlawfully disenfranchise voters or severely burden their right to vote by

penalizing voters based on their voting choices, providing voters inadequate

notice, and failing to ameliorate the [registration cancellations] by offering

same-day registration.” Id. ¶ 77.

On December 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed an emergency Motion for

Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction in which they seek

to enjoin Defendants from canceling the voter registrations of 98,561 “inactive”

voters. Doc. No. [159].6 The Court held a hearing on the same date. During this

hearing, Defense Counsel indicated that the “nuclear silo start process” began

Plaintiffs indicated at the hearing that a supplemental pleading was unnecessary to


address the recent circumstances presented in their motion. However, the Court finds
that because the events at issue happened after the filing of the complaint, the better
practice is to supplement the complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(d) (“On motion and
reasonable notice, the court may, on just terms, permit a party to serve a supplemental
pleading setting out any transaction, occurrence, or event that happened after the date
of the pleading to be supplemented.”).

on September 24, 2019 and the system completes the program on

December 16, 2019, without anyone taking an action to “push the button,” to

complete the process. Counsel also indicated that undoing the coding to stop

the process, was challenging because there were other categories of cancellation

in the program (besides the active voter cancellation). Counsel further

indicated that if the already-running automated list maintenance process were

stopped, the process becomes manual, which introduces the possibility for

human error. Counsel also indicated that the State of Georgia was already

within the ninety-day federal statutory timeline in which it could perform list

maintenance and stopping the process would render the State of Georgia not

being able to perform list maintenance again until the year 2021. Counsel

further indicated that it is easier to reinstate the voters rather than stop the

ongoing automated process, because the voter registrations could be restored

in an overnight, twenty-four to forty-eight-hour process.

The Court declined to grant an emergency restraining order, finding the

absence of imminent irreparable injury, based in large part on Defense

Counsel’s representation as to the ease of ability to restore the registrations of

the voters at issue within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Doc. No. [164].

The parties thereafter briefed the preliminary injunction portion of the

motion (Doc. Nos. [172] and [177]) and the Court held a second hearing on

December 19, 2019. Doc. No. [180]. As stated above, in the interim time period

between the emergency December 16, 2019 hearing and the December 19, 2019

preliminary injunction hearing, Defendants returned approximately 22,000

Georgia voters to the voter roll by changing their status from cancelled to

inactive status. During the December 19, 2019 hearing, the parties presented

testimony (from expert witness, Dr. Michael McDonald and Georgia Elections

Director, Chris Harvey) and exhibits. Doc. Nos. [180], [181].

Post-hearing, the Court posed two additional questions to the parties,

concerning the asserted injury and state interests.7 The parties submitted their

responses on December 23, 2019. Doc. Nos. [184], [185].

The Court’s exact questions are as follows:


The Court notes the parties’ different statutory interpretations
of HB 316.

Pursuant to Anderson v. Celebrezze, 460 U.S. 779 (1983), the


Court must consider “the character and magnitude of the
asserted injury to the rights protected by the First and
Fourteenth Amendment that the plaintiff[s] seek[] to vindicate.”
Id. at 789. The Court asks Plaintiffs to address the following
question: What is the precise injury that will be suffered by the

This matter is now ripe for review.

II. LEGAL STANDARD

The Court considers four factors when deciding whether to issue a

preliminary injunction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65:

(1) whether there is a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of the

complaint; 8 (2) whether the preliminary injunction is necessary to prevent

approximately 120,000 people at issue here if this preliminary


injunction is denied?

Additionally, pursuant to Anderson, the State must put forward


“precise interests” as “justifications for the burden imposed by
its rule.” Id. at 789. “[T]he Court must not only determine the
legitimacy and strength of those interests, it must also consider
the extent to which those interests make it necessary to burden
the plaintiff’s rights.” Id. The Court asks Defendants to address
the following question: Notwithstanding its Eleventh
Amendment argument, what interest does the State have in
applying its interpretation of H.B. 316 to the approximately
120,000 people at issue here?

It appears to the Court that Plaintiffs are arguing the likelihood of success on the
merits of their motion for preliminary injunction; however, the Court’s review of
applicable authority indicates that the standard involves likelihood of success on the
merits of the complaint See Forsyth Cty. v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 633 F.3d
1032, 1042 (11th Cir. 2011) (noting that “[t]he County failed to establish a substantial
likelihood of success on the merits of its complaint.”); Mann v. Palmer, 713 F.3d 1306,
1310 (11th Cir. 2013) (indicating that the petitioner had to establish “a substantial
likelihood of success on the merits of his complaint.”); Indigo Room, Inc. v. City of
Fort Myers, 710 F.3d 1294, 1299 (11th Cir. 2013) (noting that the district court did not

irreparable injury; (3) whether the threatened injury outweighs the harm that

the preliminary injunction would cause to the non-movant; and (4) whether the

preliminary injunction would be adverse to the public interest.9 Parker v. State

Bd. of Pardons and Paroles, 275 F.3d 1032, 1034–35 (11th Cir. 2001). Injunctive

relief is an extraordinary and drastic remedy and should not be granted unless

the movant clearly establishes the burden of persuasion as to each of these four

factors. Siegel v. LePore, 234 F. 3d 1163, 1176 (11th Cir. 2000).10 In addition, “[a]t

the preliminary injunction stage, a district court may rely on affidavits and

hearsay materials which would not be admissible evidence for a permanent

injunction, if the evidence is ‘appropriate given the character and objectives of

abuse its discretion in denying injunction motion because it properly concluded that
movants failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of two counts
of their complaint); and Common Cause/Georgia v. Billups, 554 F.3d 1340, 1348 (11th
Cir. 2009) (noting that the district court ruled that the organizations and voters had
proved a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of their complaint).
Factors three and four also involve consideration of whether the movant has shown
reasonable diligence. See Benisek v. Lamone, --- U.S. ----, 138 S. Ct. 1942, 1944, 201 L.
Ed. 2d 398 (2018) (“a party requesting a preliminary injunction must generally show
reasonable diligence.”).
However, if a movant is unable to show a substantial likelihood of success on the
merits, the court need not consider the other preliminary injunction requirements. See
Bloedorn v. Grube, 631 F.3d 1218, 1229 (11th Cir. 2011).

the injunctive proceeding.’” Levi Strauss & Co. v. Sunrise Int’l Trading Inc., 51

F.3d 982, 985 (11th Cir. 1995). The decision to grant preliminary injunctive relief

is within the broad discretion of the district court. Majd–Pour v. Georgiana

Cmty. Hosp., Inc., 724 F.2d 901 (11th Cir. 1984).

III. ANALYSIS

The crux of Plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motion involves the

question of what should happen to the approximately 98,000 voters that were

placed on the State of Georgia’s inactive list (for no contact) prior to the

enactment of HB 316. Plaintiffs assert that a constitutional question is

presented by the circumstances and this Court should apply the Supreme

Court’s Anderson-Burdick balancing test (involving consideration of the

asserted injury and the state’s interest) to evaluate whether the voting

restriction at issue violates Due Process or the First Amendment. Plaintiffs also

assert that the State of Georgia has no interest in removing voters from the rolls

in violation of its own laws. Doc. No. [176], p. 2. In contrast, Defendants assert

the Eleventh Amendment and the Pullman Doctrine inter alia to challenge the

propriety of Plaintiffs’ motion. As the Defendants’ arguments are

Document 61-5 Filed 12/27/19
188 Filed 12/05/20 PPage 13 of

33

jurisdictionally based, the Court will consider those arguments first. 11 The

Court will thereafter consider Plaintiffs’ constitutional claim.

A. Eleventh Amendment

In opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion, Defendants argue that Plaintiffs’

motion and legal theory are barred by the Eleventh Amendment, because

Plaintiffs are essentially asking this Court to adjudicate state law for the first

time (and otherwise address state-law claims in federal court). Doc. No. [172],

pp. 2, 8, 16. More specifically, Defendants’ argument recognizes that Plaintiffs

and Defendants have different interpretations of the effect of HB 316 on the

approximately 98,000 voters at issue. Defendants argue that Plaintiffs’

requested injunctive relief requires this Court to endorse Plaintiffs’

interpretation of state law, which is barred by the Eleventh Amendment and

State sovereign immunity. Id. at p. 16. Defendants assert that the reality of

“Because the Eleventh Amendment represents a constitutional limitation on the


federal judicial power established in Article III, federal courts lack jurisdiction to
entertain claims that are barred by the Eleventh Amendment.” McClendon v. Ga.
Dep’t of Cmty. Health, 261 F.3d 1252, 1256 (11th Cir. 2001) (citations omitted); see also
Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U.S. 651, 678 (1974) (“the Eleventh Amendment defense . . .
partakes of the nature of a jurisdictional bar”) and Duke v. James, 713 F.2d 1506, 1510
(11th Cir. 1983) (discussing the Pullman abstention (from the exercise of federal
jurisdiction) doctrine).

Plaintiffs’ motion is that “it is a declaratory judgment claim regarding

compliance with HB 316 masquerading as a constitutional argument.” Id. at p.

17. Defendants further argue that “Plaintiffs cannot succeed in suggesting their

relief is based in federal law when it requires this Court to determine a novel

issue of state law.” Id. at p. 18.

In opposition, Plaintiffs state that their claims arise from the First and

Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, not state law—and

that their arguments do not require the Court to analyze novel issues of state

law. Doc. No. [177], p. 3.

The Eleventh Amendment states in relevant part: “[t]he Judicial power

of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity,

commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of

another State . . . .” U.S. Const. amend. XI. The United States Supreme Court

has held that “a suit against state officials on the basis of state law contravenes

the Eleventh Amendment.” Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp. v. Halderman, 465

U.S. 89, 117 (1984). 12 The Court also indicated that when injunctive relief is

“The Supreme Court [in Pennhurst] has explained that the rationale for the

sought, “an error of law by state officers acting in their official capacities will

not suffice to override the sovereign immunity of the State where the relief

effectively is against it.” Id. at 113 (citations omitted). The Court further stated:

“it is difficult to think of a greater intrusion on state sovereignty than when a

federal court instructs state officials on how to conform their conduct to state

law.” Id. at 106.

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has addressed the Pennhurst

decision on numerous occasions. In their briefing, Plaintiffs primarily rely upon

the Eleventh Circuit’s 1989 decision in Brown v. Georgia Department of

Revenue, 881 F.2d 1018, 1023 (11th Cir. 1989). In Brown, the Eleventh Circuit

held that the Supreme Court’s decision in Pennhurst does not apply when a

plaintiff alleges a violation of the federal Constitution. Id. at 1023. The Eleventh

Circuit stated that under Pennhurst, “the determinative question is not the

relief ordered, but whether the relief was ordered pursuant to state or federal

[exception to the Eleventh Amendment that allows state officials to be sued for
prospective relief, i.e., Ex parte Young doctrine] ‘rests on the need to promote the
vindication of federal rights,’ but in a case alleging that a state official has violated
state law, this federal interest ‘disappears.’” Ala. v. PCI Gaming Auth., 801 F.3d 1278,
1290 (11th Cir. 2015) (citations omitted).

law.” Id. In the case sub judice, no relief has been ordered, so the Court cannot

necessarily answer this determinative question.13

Additional Eleventh Circuit authority indicates that when the gravamen

of the complaint appears to be that the State improperly interpreted and failed

to adhere to a state statute, there is a Pennhurst problem—as despite references

to the United States Constitution in the pleadings, the claims necessarily rely

on a determination that a state official has not complied with state law, 14 a

determination that is barred by sovereign immunity. See S&M Brands, Inc. v.

Georgia ex rel. Carr, 925 F.3d 1198, 1205 (11th Cir. 2019) and DeKalb Cty. Sch.

Dist. v. Schrenko, 109 F.3d 680, 688 (11th Cir. 1997); see also Hand v. Scott, 888

F.3d 1206, 1213–14 (11th Cir. 2018) (holding that “the district court cannot

Phrased a different way, in Pennhurst, the Supreme Court indicated that “the
general criterion for determining when a suit is in fact against the sovereign is the
effect of the relief sought.” Pennhurst, 465 U.S. at 107 (emphasis added). In the case
sub judice, the Court finds that the effect of the relief sought by Plaintiffs is a
determination by this Court that Defendants have not complied with state law.
For example, Plaintiffs use the phrase “violation of state law” at numerous times in
their briefing and hearing exhibit/PowerPoint. See e.g., Doc. Nos. [159-1], p. 23; [176],
pp. 2, 7 n.1.

enjoin [a state] to follow the district court’s interpretation of [the state’s] own

constitution.”).15

While the Court recognizes Plaintiffs’ arguments and citation of

authority to the contrary, as well as its ability to review state statutes,16 the

gravamen of the Plaintiffs’ pending motion appears to be that the Secretary of

State (and therefore the State of Georgia) has improperly interpreted and failed

to adhere to Georgia’s new voter list maintenance statute (HB 316).17 This is

evidenced by the motion’s numerous references to violation of state law and

the fact that Plaintiffs are not seeking an injunction as to the entirety of the

This Court’s independent research only found one case to the contrary, Duncan v.
Poythress, 657 F.2d 691 (5th Cir. 1981); however, the applicability and precedential
weight of that case is doubtful, considering that it was decided pre-Pennhurst and
involved a substantive due process claim, as opposed to the procedural due process
claim at issue here.
As stated by Judge Gerald Tjoflat, the Supremacy Clause of the United States
Constitution “allows federal courts to review state statutes, but federal courts are
limited to refusing to apply the provisions they find unconstitutional.” Democratic
Exec. Comm. of Fla. v. Lee, 915 F.3d 1312, 1348 (11th Cir. 2019) (Tjoflat, J., dissenting).
Here, the Court is not being asked to find a statute unconstitutional. Plaintiffs are
asking the Court to find a state official’s interpretation of a statute unconstitutional.
More specifically, the case of Democratic Executive Committee v. Lee, 915 F.3d 1312
(11th Cir. 2019) cited by Plaintiffs is distinguishable in that the arguments in that case
did not center upon a violation of state law.

approximately 300,000 voter registrations that were subject to cancellation.

Accordingly, in light of the above-stated authority, the Eleventh Amendment

bars Plaintiffs’ motion to the extent that it requires a conclusion by this Court

that Plaintiffs’ interpretation of HB 316 is correct.18

B. Pullman Doctrine

While the Court considers the Eleventh Amendment analysis

determinative, in the interest of caution, the Court will consider Defendants’

Pullman abstention doctrine argument. Defendants assert the Pullman

abstention doctrine, on the ground that “Plaintiffs’ Motion is predicated upon

only one discrete subset of list-maintenance activities that has not been

adjudicated by state courts [and further argue that] this Court should refrain

from adopting Plaintiffs’ arguments on an unsettled issue of state law.” Doc.

No. [172], p. 20.

“Under the Pullman abstention doctrine, a federal court will defer to

‘state court resolution of underlying issues of state law,’” before a substantial

The Court recognizes that Plaintiffs also present an alternative argument in the
event that the Court declines to engage in statutory interpretation or otherwise finds
that HB 316 is ambiguous as to the voters at issue. To this regard, the Court will
continue with its analysis and consider the constitutional question, infra.

federal constitutional question can be decided. Siegel, 234 F.3d at 1174; see also

Railroad Comm’n v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496 (1941). In considering

abstention, the court “must take into account the nature of the controversy and

the importance of the right allegedly impaired.” Id. In light of said

consideration, the Eleventh Circuit has held that “voting rights cases are

particularly inappropriate for abstention.” Id. In lieu of abstention, the

Eleventh Circuit has indicated that “the preferable way to obtain state court

resolution of those state law issues is through the certification process

established by” the state supreme court. Pittman v. Cole, 267 F.3d 1269, 1288

(11th Cir. 2001); cf. Roe v. State of Ala., 43 F.3d 574, 582 (11th Cir. 1995) (“We

agree that federal courts should refrain from holding a state election law

unconstitutional when a reasonable alternative course of action exists. We are,

therefore, reluctant to reach a final decision in this case while the proper

application of the [State] Election Code remains muddled. There are two ways

to show deference to the state decisionmakers in this matter: we can leave the

plaintiffs to their state remedies; or we can certify a question to the Supreme

Court of [the state], retain jurisdiction, and await that court’s answer.”)

(citations omitted). In light of this authority, the Court finds that it would not

33

be appropriate to apply the Pullman abstention doctrine to this voting rights

case. Nevertheless, the Court still does not proceed to interpreting the statute,

because from this Court’s brief review, the answer as to how HB 316 applies to

the voters who were already on the State of Georgia’s inactive elector list (prior

to enactment of HB 316) is not clear cut and both Plaintiffs and Defendants have

offered reasonable interpretations for how HB 316 affects the voters at issue.

Cf. Duncan, 657 F.2d at 699 (providing an overview of authority concerning

clear and vague statutes in the context of the Pullman abstention doctrine). In

essence, HB 316 is open to interpretation and could reasonably be interpreted

as either party contends. In addition, an interpretation of HB 316 by this Court

at this stage of the case creates a possibility for conflicting interpretations in the

event that a state court later decides the issue—there would be an interpretation

by the federal court and an interpretation by the state court. Cf. Pennhurst, 465

U.S. at 122 n.32 (“when a federal decision on state law is obtained, the federal

court’s construction often is uncertain and ephemeral”).

As stated above, the preferable way to obtain resolution of the state law

issue is through the certification process by the state supreme court. However,

33

neither party has asked to certify a question to the Georgia Supreme Court.19

Plaintiffs also have an additional remedy in the form of seeking a mandamus

in the state courts. Nevertheless, as stated above, the Court considers the

Eleventh Amendment analysis, supra, determinative to the extent that the

issues involve proper interpretation (and violation) of state law.20

The Court recognizes that it may sua sponte certify a question the Georgia Supreme
Court; however, as indicated at the December 19, 2019 hearing, the Court is concerned
as to timing in that the date that the Georgia Supreme Court will return an answer is
unknown and Plaintiffs have continuously expressed a desire to resolve this case in
March of 2020.
The interplay between the Pennhurst/Eleventh Amendment ruling and the
Pullman abstention doctrine has been described as follows.
The configuration of the Pennhurst litigation was identical
to the litigation in Pullman. Both cases involved lawsuits
filed in federal court, which raised both state claims and
federal constitutional claims against state officials, but
which could have been resolved on the state law claims
alone. The Supreme Court, however, did not consider
Pullman abstention as a potential resolution of the
Pennhurst litigation. Instead, the Court replaced the
methodology of a discretionary stay envisioned in
Pullman with a rule of mandatory dismissal. As a result,
the role of Pullman abstention in allocating
decisionmaking responsibility in suits against state
officials was transmuted substantially without a word of
explanation by the Court.

C. Constitutional Claim

Assuming, arguendo, that Plaintiffs’ motion does not seek a ruling by the

Court regarding the correct statutory interpretation of HB 316 and whether the

three-year or five-year “no contact” provision applies to the approximately

98,000 voters at issue, the Court proceeds with the following constitutional

analysis of HB 316 and, in particular, the “no contact” scheme therein.

The Supreme Court “has made clear that a citizen has a constitutionally

protected right to participate in elections on an equal basis with other citizens

in the jurisdiction.” Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330, 336 (1972). This equal right

to vote, however, “is not absolute; the States have the power to impose voter

qualifications, and to regulate access to the franchise in other ways.” Id.;

see also Burdick v. Takushi, 504 U.S. 428, 433 (1992) (“It does not follow,

however, that the right to vote in any manner and the right to associate for

political purposes through the ballot are absolute.”).

“The Supreme Court has rejected a litmus-paper test for constitutional

challenges to specific provisions of a State’s election laws and instead has

applied a flexible standard.” Common Cause/Georgia v. Billups, 554 F.3d 1340,

1351 (11th Cir. 2009) (internal quotation marks omitted). Consequently, a

33

reviewing court must first “consider the character and magnitude of the

asserted injury to the rights protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments

that the plaintiff seeks to vindicate.” Anderson v. Celebrezze, 460 U.S. 780, 789

(1983). A court must then “identify and evaluate the interests put forward by

the State as justifications for the burden imposed by its rule.” Id. “Only after

weighing all these factors is the reviewing court in a position to decide whether

the challenged provision is unconstitutional.” Id.; see also Burdick, 504 U.S.

at 434. If a State’s election law imposes only “reasonable, nondiscriminatory

restrictions” upon the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of voters, “the

State’s important regulatory interests are generally sufficient to justify” the

restrictions. Burdick, 504 U.S. at 434 (citing Anderson, 460 U.S. at 788). But if a

State’s election law imposes a “severe” burden, it must be “narrowly drawn to

advance a state interest of compelling importance.” Id. (citing Norman v. Reed,

502 U.S. 279, 289 (1992)). In other words, “lesser burdens . . . trigger less

exacting review.” Timmons v. Twin Cities Area New Party, 520 U.S. 351, 358

(1997).

Accordingly, the Court begins by evaluating the burden of this “no

contact” scheme on Plaintiffs’ First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

“Ordinary and widespread burdens, such as those requiring nominal effort of

everyone, are not severe.” Crawford v. Marion Cty. Election Bd., 553 U.S. 181,

205 (2008) (Scalia, J., concurring) (quotation omitted). However, burdens “are

severe if they go beyond the merely inconvenient.” Id. Plaintiffs argue that the

burden imposed on voters by the “no contact” scheme is “severe” and that,

should their motion for preliminary injunction be denied, the “precise injury”

the approximately 98,000 voters at issue will suffer is “complete

disenfranchisement.” See generally Doc. Nos. [159-1]; [184]. Plaintiffs contend

that removing voters solely due to inactivity—without any other evidence that

said voters have moved—raises a substantial risk that individuals will be

erroneously deprived of their constitutional right to vote. See Doc. No. [169-1],

p. 19. They specifically cite to a 2018 Election Assistance Commission Report,

in which statistics show that the State of Georgia mailed 478,295 voter

confirmation notices in advance of the 2018 election to individuals it suspected

of having moved. See Doc. No. [184-2]. Of those confirmation notices, more

than 75% of the notices were neither responded to nor returned as

33

undeliverable, suggesting that a substantial number of the notices were never

read. Id.

Additionally, Plaintiffs argue that once a voter is removed from the voter

roll under the “no contact” scheme, the likelihood of complete

disenfranchisement is high for two reasons. See Doc. No. [184], pp. 3–5. First,

the State of Georgia does not notify individuals that their voter registration has

been cancelled. Thus, Plaintiffs argue that the first moment that many voters

learn that they have been removed from the voter rolls is when they arrive at

the polls on Election Day. Because the State of Georgia does not offer same-day

registration, said individuals are therefore ineligible to vote. Second, for the

individuals who have learned that they have been removed from the voter

rolls, there is only a narrow window of time for said individuals to re-register

before the next election, as Georgia law requires voters to register weeks before

any election. See O.C.G.A. § 21-2-224.

Plaintiffs also point to Mr. Harvey’s testimony at the preliminary injunction hearing,
in which he acknowledged that “[t]here are a lot of people that don’t check their mail”
and that, upon receiving confirmation notices, voters may think it’s a “mailer,” “an
advertisement,” or “marketing things that look like . . . official documents.” See
Dec. 19, 2019 Hearing Transcript at 79:1–79:18.

Defendants, in response, argue that Plaintiffs have provided no evidence

of any burden that the “no contact” scheme imposes on the right to vote, let

alone a “severe” burden. See generally Doc. Nos. [172]; [185]. In support of this

contention, Defendants rely on the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling in Billups. Therein,

the Eleventh Circuit upheld the constitutionality of a state law requiring voters

to produce photo identification prior to casting a ballot. See 554 F.3d at 1355.

Employing the Anderson-Burdick balancing test, the Eleventh Circuit found

that the plaintiffs “failed to prove that any individual would bear a significant

burden” because they could not “identify a single individual who would be

unable to vote because of the Georgia statute or would face an undue burden

to obtain a free voter identification card.” Id. at 1354. Accordingly, the Eleventh

Circuit found that “the burden on Georgia voters is ‘slight’” and, thus, that the

state interest need not be “compelling.” Id. (citing Burdick, 504 U.S. at 439).

Defendants argue that, like the plaintiffs in Billups, Plaintiffs have failed

to prove that any individual would bear a significant or “severe” burden due

to the “no contact” scheme. Namely, in support of their motion, Plaintiffs

include eight declarations from Georgia voters. See Doc. Nos. [159-3]; [159-4];

[159-5]; [159-6]; [159-7]; [159-8]; [159-9]; [159-12]. Plaintiffs initially stated that

33

all eight of these voters were due to be removed from the voter rolls under the

“no contact” scheme despite that fact that none of these voters had ever moved.

Doc. No. [159-1], p. 15. In response, however, Defendants contend that four of

the voters (Linda Bradshaw, Keme Hawkins, Tommie Jordan, and Deepak

Eidnani) remain on the official list of voters as “active” voters. See Doc. No.

[172], pp. 13–14. Thus, these four voters are eligible and able to vote.

Moreover, Defendants contend that the other four voters (Clifford

Thomas, David Hopkins, Charlesetta Young, and Kilton Smith) were removed

from the voter rolls after failing to respond to the two confirmation notices sent

pursuant to the “no contact’ scheme under HB 316. At this time, there is no

evidence that any of these four voters were burdened or precluded from

returning the two confirmation notices, which are prepaid and preaddressed.

The Court notes that these four voters dispute that they ever actually received
confirmation notices. However, Defendants contend that Secretary of State records
show that confirmation notices were in fact sent to these four voters. See Doc. No.
[172-1]. “The common law has long recognized a rebuttable presumption than an item
properly mailed was received by the addressee.” Chung v. JPMorgan Case Bank, N.A.,
975 F. Supp. 2d 1333, 1348 (N.D. Ga. 2013) (quoting In re Farris, 365 F. App’x 198, 199
(11th Cir. 2010)). Plaintiffs’ conclusory allegation that these four voters never actually
received confirmation notices “is insufficient to rebut the presumption.” In re Farris,
365 F. App’x at 200 (“The mere denial of receipt, without more, is insufficient to rebut
the presumption.”).

33

Additionally, there is no evidence at this time that any of the four voters are

precluded or burdened by registering to vote again. In fact, at the preliminary

injunction hearing, Mr. Harvey testified that re-registering to vote after being

removed from the voter rolls for “no contact” is no different from registering

to vote in the first instance. See Dec. 19, 2019 Hearing Transcript at 47:23–48:4.

A voter can re-register to vote by going online to use the Online Voter

Registration system or renewing one’s driver’s license or identification card

with the Department of Driver Services. Id.

Based on the limited factual record before the Court, the Court finds that

Plaintiffs have not shown a substantial likelihood of success that the burden

imposed by the “no contact” scheme (i.e., returning a prepaid, preaddressed

confirmation notice and/or re-registering to voter) is severe.

The Court now turns to the State’s purported interests in enforcing the

“no contact” provision under its interpretation of HB 316. Because the burden

of said provision is “slight,” the state interest need not be “compelling . . . to tip

the constitutional scales in its direction.” Burdick, 504 U.S. at 439. Rather, “the

State’s important regulatory interests are generally sufficient to justify” the

restrictions. Id. at 434.

33

Defendants have identified three State interests in enforcing the “no

contact” provision under its interpretation of HB 316. First, Defendants state

that State of Georgia has an interest—both generally and as compelled by

federal law—in maintaining reliable lists of electors. See Doc. No. [185], p. 4.

Under the NVRA, states are required to make “a reasonable effort to remove

registrants who are ineligible to vote from the official list of eligible voters.”

52 U.S.C. § 21083(a)(4)(a). Congress mandates this, in part, “to protect the

integrity of the electoral process; and . . . [to] ensure that accurate and current

voter registration rolls are maintained.” 52 U.S.C. §§ 20501(b)(3) and (b)(4).

Second, Defendants state that the State of Georgia and the Secretary of State

have an interest in applying election laws as written specifically. See Doc. No.

[185], p. 5. Finally, Defendants maintain that the “no contact” scheme

eliminates voter confusion and improves election-day operations. Doc. No.

[185], p. 5. For example, Defendants argue that inaccurate voter lists that

The method employed by the State of Georgia—both prior to and after the
enactment of HB 316—is contemplated by the NVRA and has been upheld by the
Supreme Court in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Inst., ---U.S.----, 138 S. Ct. 1833,
1842 (2018). As Plaintiffs correctly note, however, the Supreme Court in Husted only
addressed whether the challenged voter-list-maintenance process complied with the
NVRA and did not address the constitutionality of said process.

incorporate individuals who have moved and are no longer eligible may cause

local election officials to improperly assess where equipment and personnel

should be deployed on election day in 2020. Id. at pp. 5–6.

Plaintiffs, in response, argue that the State has waived or disclaimed any

such interest in applying a three-year “no contact” provision to the

approximately 98,000 individuals at issue since HB 316 amended the “no

contact” provision to require five years of inactivity. In doing so, Plaintiffs

overstate the burden on the State under the Anderson-Burdick test. As

discussed supra, Plaintiffs failed to show a substantial likelihood of success that

the burden imposed by the “no contact” scheme is “severe.” Accordingly,

under the Anderson-Burdick, the State is only required to articulate an

important regulatory interest in enforcing their interpretation of said provision.

See Burdick, 504 U.S. at 439. The Court finds that all three of the above-stated

regulatory interests are sufficient to satisfy that obligation under the Anderson-

Burdick test.

The Court therefore concludes that, at this time, Plaintiffs have not met

their burden of showing a substantial likelihood of success that the “no contact”

scheme set forth in HB 316 violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

Because Plaintiffs have failed to establish a substantial likelihood of

success on the merits, the Court need not examine whether Plaintiffs have will

irreparable harm, or whether a balance of hardships weighs in Plaintiffs’ favor,

or, finally, whether the public interest would support the issuance of a

preliminary injunction. See Bloedorn, 631 F.3d at 1242.

IV. CONCLUSION

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. No. [159]) is DENIED

on the ground that the Eleventh Amendment of the United States Constitution

and the principles of sovereign immunity do not permit a federal court to enjoin

a state (or its officers) to follow a federal court’s interpretation of the State of

Georgia’s laws. Such interpretation is within the province of the state court. As

to the remainder of Plaintiffs’ constitutional claim, the motion is also DENIED

on the ground that Plaintiffs have failed to show a substantial likelihood of

success on the merits of their claim that the “no contact” provision violates the

First and Fourteenth Amendments. It is important to note that the Court has

not conclusively determined the rights of the parties, but in accordance with

applicable authority, only balanced the equities in the interim as this litigation

proceeds.24

While the denial of this motion is based upon the Eleventh Amendment

and respect for state sovereignty, the Court has not ignored the fundamental

significance of voting under our constitutional structure.25 In recognition of this

important right, the Court would be remiss not to express its serious concern

that there needs to be an immediate and accurate interpretation by the state

court of HB 316 as to its effect on the voters who were already on the State’s

inactive list prior to the effective date of HB 316. To this regard, the Court will

allow Plaintiffs, upon request, to stay the pending litigation to seek emergency

relief at the state court level (or otherwise certify a question the Georgia

Supreme Court). In light of the immediacy of the situation in District 171, it is

within the authority of the Secretary of State to return any cancelled voters to

inactive status to allow Plaintiffs reasonable time to seek a decision from the

state court.

See Democratic Exec. Comm. of Fla. v. Lee, 915 F.3d 1312, 1327 (11th Cir. 2019)
(noting that “the purpose of the injunction is not to conclusively determine the rights
of parties, but only to balance the equities in the interim as the litigation proceeds.”).

The Court also, pursuant to its inherent authority to control the conduct

of the parties, ORDERS Defendants to make additional diligent and reasonable

efforts (through notices on the Secretary of State’s website and press releases)

to inform the general public (especially those in House District 171, who face a

December 30, 2019 deadline to re-register) of this Court’s order in regard to the

voter list maintenance process and the need for the canceled voters to re-

register to vote during the applicable registration time period. 26

IT IS SO ORDERED this 27th day of December, 2019.

Declaration of

28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, (Name), make the following


declaration.

1. I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability,


which would prevent me from giving this declaration.

2. Detail background and qualifications: SC resident, mother, wife,


voter, concerned citizen with Masters in Ed, Guidance, BA Psych, BA
Health Car Admin.

4. My affidavit highlights: noticed mail irregularities(5), election day


concerns(6), and GA ballot harvesting as a non GA resident(7).

5. Info: October 2020: I noticed we had not received some bills,


packages and other mail in a timely fashion. October 13 I posted a
message to a local facebook page Johns Island United Discussion
Gro p 52 comments are attached. Word and pdf of screenshots are
attached. Much of the conversation references lost, slow mail,
missing, destroyed and lost ballots, confusing guidance on ballots vs
voting in person, one resident contacted Joe Cunningham and a
congressional inquiry was made, voter concern, contact with
businesses who claim mail is slow everywhere.
6. Info: Election day: We were assigned a new venue, Berkely Electric
on Johns Island. Berkely has very little public parking available for
such an event. We arrived at 6:30 a.m. & a.m. we were told
computers were down. A man ran from the building to a car for an
extension cord, 15-20 minutes later we slowly began to enter.
Between the delay and poor parking availability, I witnessed cars

a ca d ha e e g ach e a d causing
delays for voters.
6. Roughly 1.5 million Georgia voters requested absentee ballots, which
is far above the 200,000 absentee ballots from 2016, and is 30% of
their estimated 5 million voter turnout. 6. As of November 6th at
6pm, Georgia election officials said that more than 14,200 provisional
ballots needed to be counted. Jeff Greenburg, a former Mercer
County elections director, remarked that over his 13 years in the
role, he had only processed 200 provisional ballots in total and it
would take his county 2.5 days to process 650 provision ballots. That
implies nearly 55 days to approve, which suggests that the current
pace they are approving provisional ballots is implausibly fast if they
intend to call the election soon.
It is also curious that the correlation between the number of mail-
in votes for Biden net of Trump and the 2016 share of votes for
Clinton is stronger than the total votes for Biden net of Trump. This
evidence is consistent with the view that manipulation is easier with
mail-in votes and more likely to occur where there is less Republican
competitive oversight (e.g., poll watchers turned away).
7. The counties with the greatest reported software glitches and delays
are also the counties with the biggest swings in votes for Biden. The
list of numbers below tabulates the percent change in Democrat
votes from one election to the other for some of the most Democrat
counties in the state. Importantly, the increase between 2020 and
2016 is systematically larger than the 2008 to 2012 or 2012 to 2016
increases: for example, the median (mean) increase from 2016 to
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 102 of 229

2020 for these counties was 27% (30.6%), whereas they were only
11.5% (9.8%) and -4% (-2.8%).

These are anomalies that evidence a high likelihood of fraudulent


alterations within the software or the system.

Increase in Democrat Votes from Election-to-Election, in %

County 2008-2012 2012-2016 2016-2020

Fulton -6% 16% 28%

DeKalb -6% 6% 22%

Gwinnett 3% 25% 45%

Cobb -6% 20% 38%

Chatham -4% 3% 26%

Henry 8% 14% 46%

Muscogee -4% -6% 24%

Bibb -1% -5% 18%

Douglas 2% 9% 37%

Clarke -14% 16% 22%

Mean -2.8% 9.8% 30.6%

Median -4% 11.5% 27%

These changes alone are highly suspect. The 2016 to 2020 increase in
Democratic votes is at least over double in these counties. Moreover, all
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 103 of 229

it takes is one or two counties, like Fulton, to become a hotspot for fraud
for it to sway the overall election outcome, particularly via Atlanta.

Moreover, as a control group, consider the fact that counties that are on
the Northeastern border of Alabama have a much lower increase in
Democrat votes for Biden. These counties are comparable given their
proximity, making the especially large surge in Georgia more suspect.

There are also many precincts within these counties that have highly
suspect numbers. For example, 97% of the votes are for Biden in SC16A
(Fulton County) and 97% in Snapfinger Road (DelKab). Many more
examples abound. The distribution is also highly skewed towards
Biden: whereas 10% of the precincts have an over 95% Biden vote, none
of the precincts have an over 90% Trump vote. Given the historical
distribution of votes from 2016, this fact pattern is suspect.

8. O e d ag cf de ec gf a d e Be f d a .I he ca e
of election fraud, that means looking at the distribution of digits
across votes within a specified geography. Using precinct level data
for Georgia, my research identified 1,017 suspicious precincts out of
2,656 when we look at advance ballots. Even more precincts (1,530)
were flagged as suspicious for election day votes. Wh e Be f d a
is not a silver-bullet for identifying fraud on its own, it suggests
suspicious activity that warrants additional attention.
9. Yet another way of detecting statistical anomalies involves looking at
the distribution of the change in 2020 to 2016 vote shares of Trump
a d B de . Whe ea he d b f T e fec a,
the distribution for Biden is non-normal: it is skewed heavily to the
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 104 of 229

right. This is not present in other states that do not have similar
concerns about fraudulent activity, but is present in the states with
those concerns (e.g., Pennsylvania too).

10. There were many puzzling incidents across states, including


Georgia, where surges of votes for Biden were observed at odd hours
of the morning of November 4th. In particular, preliminary analysis
on the live Edison Research data reveals that new ballots were
coming in increasingly more slowly, but they were larger for
Democrats than for Republicans. The combination of the pattern and
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 105 of 229

timing is puzzling, particularly since it is not present in other states,


like Florida, that do not have similar concerns about fraud.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the forgoing is true and correct.
Executed this November 16, 2020.

Prior to my work at the County of San Bernardino I worked as a


consultant for a company called Computer Assistance Inc. and I worked
on two fixed priced projects for the City of Los Angeles;

responsibilities was to program the scanning machines to capture the
results of employee scantron tests into the system.

4. I performed an analysis of the 4,505,777 absentee ballot records from
the Nov 2020 election I obtained from the Georgia election website

Declaration of

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, , make the following


declaration.

1. I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability,


which would prevent me from giving this declaration.
2. I am the owner and sole proprietor of an educational publishing
company, State Standards Publishing, serving the needs of schools in
Georgia and the United States.
3. I reside at .
4. My affidavit highlights possible voting irregularities in Columbus,
Muscogee County, Georgia.
5. 10/19/20 I arrived to vote at a Muscogee County early voting
location on Citizens Way in Columbus, GA. Upon arrival, all voters
were instructed to complete an intake form while standing in line
and to FILL OUT ALL HIGHLIGHTED AREAS. It appeared that
the county was re-using forms prepared for the earlier primary, and
as a result, one of the highlighted areas we were instructed to
complete was to circle whether we were voting one of three choices:
Democratic, Nonpartisan, Republican. Obviously, this is private
business during the general election. Yet people all around me were
dutifully filling this out. Anyone looking at the form would know
exactly who I voted for on my official ballot!! I questioned the poll
orker abo t this, ho j st shr gged his sho lder that he didn t
have an answer. At that point, a sheriff announced that a less
crowded polling station had been opened (Columbus Trade Center). I
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 115 of 229

took my intake form and went there to vote. Upon leaving, I called
the county registrar and spoke to Assistant Director Tamika Geist.
She assured me that she was using the forms that had been prepared
for the earlier primary but that the situation would be fixed
immediately.
LOCATIONS AFFECTED:
All early voting locations in Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia
beginning Monday, October 12, 2020.
MY CONCERNS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
(A) O e e i a ge e al elec i i i a eb i e a d
SHOULD NOT be shared or required to be reported/exposed
to workers at a polling station either during or after voting,
and that (B) anybody with a stack of those intake forms in
hand would have a nice little road map about who voted this
way or that and could, theoretically, pick out ballots they
did ha e ag ee i h a d make h e ballots
disappear. Any requirement to stipulate voting intention in a
general election is irregular (if not illegal!) and opens up the
potential for voting manipulation and fraud.
6. 10/19/20 I submitted the following Fraud Report to the Georgia
Secretary of State using their online submission form, expressing the
above concerns:
On arrival to vote 10/23 (corrected to 10/19), all voters were
instructed to complete an intake form while standing in line and to
FILL OUT ALL HIGHLIGHTED AREAS. The county re-used forms
prepared for the earlier primary, and as a result, one of the
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 116 of 229

highlighted areas we were instructed to complete was to circle


whether we were voting one of three choices: Democrat, Nonpartisan,
Republican. Obviously, this is private business during the general
election. Yet people all around me were filling this out. Anyone
looking at the form would know exactly who I voted for on my official
ballot!! I contacted the county registrar (Asst. Dir.), who assured me
this would be fixed immediately. I just want to make sure that it HAS
been fixed. This is very disturbing and opens the potential for anyone
in ol ed o amper i h re l he don par ic larl like. Plea e le
me know the outcome, if at all possible. I can provide you with a photo
of my form if needed. Thank you!
Outcome: No response.
7. 11-04-20 I emailed the following elected officials, including a copy of
the SOS Fraud Report and photo of the Muscogee County intake
form:
Randy Robertson GA State Senate
Richard Smith GA House of Representatives
Drew Ferguson US House of Representatives
David Perdue US Senate
Kelly Loeffler US Senate
Outcome: No response from any of these elected officials.
8. 11-10-20 Upon learning of the appointment of Congressman Doug
Collins to head up a Georgia recount, I contacted his Voter Fraud
Hotline and reported all of the above to a young woman named
Ashley. She instructed me to email her the intake form photo and
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 117 of 229

background. I submitted this information to her at


gaedo@donaldtrump.com.
Outcome: Unknown.
9. 11-20-20 Almost immediately after my conversation with the Voter
Fraud Hotline, I received a call from Chris Harvey in the GA SOS
office (404-985-6351). He stated that the Muscogee County form
would not have helped support vote tampering in any way and was
perfectly okay and appropriate. He asked me to clarify my concern,
and I did so, reiterating the two-fold point made above; namely, that
one s ote in a general election is pri ate b siness and SHOULD not
be shared, and that anybody with knowledge of how someone voted
co ld theoreticall locate and destro ballots the didn t agree ith.
He countered my concern by saying that this would never happen,
and the forms would not help anyone do that in any way. Perhaps
that s so; as I f rther e plained to him, I ha e no idea ho people are
breaking the la and tampering ith otes, b t somebod s doing
just that . . . and I didn t appreciate him dismissing my concern as
invalid. (He pointed o t that he ne er sed the ord in alid. To
hich I replied, Oh, let s split hairs, shall e? If he s s pposed to be
the community relations outreach, that office is in sad need of a fresh
perspective. Anyway, the conversation was patronizing, to say the
least.)
Outcome: Unknown.
(But I hope the Georgia Secretary of State will get the
comeuppance he so richly deserves.)

Declaration of Garland Favorito

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, , make the following declaration regarding my


observations of the full hand count audit conducted by Fulton County for the November 3rd 2020
Presidential race and the associated recount where a Dominion server malfunction forced the recount
process to stop and be repeated.

I am a career Information Technology professional with over 40 years of experience in a variety of


technical disciplines including programming, analysis, development methodologies, internet system
design, financial transaction processing and multi-factor online systems security.

In 2006, I co-founded Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia (VoterGA), a nonpartisan,
non-profit, all-volunteer, dues free organization that has been a leader in the Georgia election integrity
movement for 16 years. During that time, I performed extensive research, made many presentations
around the state and produced several studies such as the one entitled: "Unresolved Security Risks in
Ballot Marking Devices" which I presented at the National Voting Rights Task Force in 2019.

I reside at

My declaration highlights that the conduct of the full hand count audit and recount I observed clearly
warrant an immediate court order to inspect absentee ballots and to preserve certain Dominion system
components for forensic review to ensure the integrity of the election.

Declarations:

1. After the November 3, 2020 election, I monitored the hand count audit and re-count conducted
by Fulton County, for the Presidential race in November at the World Congress Center;
2. On November 14, 2020, I participated as a monitor in the full hand count audit conducted by
Fulton County. During the first day of that audit, four hand count auditors who counted ballots
confided to me and other monitors how they noticed potentially fraudulent absentee ballots.
These were not marked with a writing instrument, not creased from mailing and not on normal
ballot stock. All four of the hand count auditors are highly experienced poll workers and have
submitted notarized affidavits of their findings to attorneys.
3. On November 29, 2020, Fulton County experienced a Dominion server malfunction during the
recount. The malfunction caused the county election staff to be unable to upload previously
scanned ballot images to a central Dominion county server for tabulation AND further caused
the county election staff to be unable to upload previously scanned ballot images to a new
replacement server that was brought on site but not set up with a matching Election ID and
election files.
4. The malfunction was so severe that Fulton County election officials had to call for a Dominion
software technician to be flown in from Colorado in an attempt to correct the problems;
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 123 of 229

5. The malfunction was ALSO so severe that Fulton County election officials decided to begin
scanning all ballot images a second time in case the technician would be unable to resolve the
problem once on site;
6. The onsite Dominion technician established new election files on the same Dell All-in-One
computers that contained the ballot images previously scanned and the staff began scanning
the ballot images again to the same Dell- All-In-One computers that still contained the
previously ballot images;
7. This highly unusual deviation of standard recount processing for the 2020 Georgia Presidential
election is NOT necessarily nefarious BUT it opens a door for new security risks and potential
errors in terms of duplication of ballot scanning, technical ballot images transfers and eventual
tabulation of already questionable election results,
8. In addition, VoterGA has independently confirmed that the Dominion voting system flipped
votes from President Trump to former Vice President Biden in at least one Georgia County. In
Ware County the electronic vote totals shorted President Trump by 37 votes and allocated those
votes to former Vice President Biden as proven by their hand count audit. This irregularity was
discovered thanks to the extra due diligence Ware County election officials performed in
producing their own system of record source totals for the hand count audit to double check
o al con ained in he Sec e a ARLO em ;
9. In summary, four highly experienced hand count auditors detected potentially fraudulent ballots
during the Fulton County hand count audit, there is a known instance of the Dominion voting
system flipping votes in the Ware County Presidential election results, the reported malfunction
of the Fulton County server has introduced new potential for security risks and errors;
10. The closeness of the Presidential election, the impact of Fulton County results on Georgia
election results and the impact of Georgia election results on the national Presidential election
demands a court to act to protect the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election in Georgia
counties,
11. In light of the evidence above, I believe it is imperative for a court to order an immediate
inspection of Fulton County absentee ballots, preservation of the Ware County Dominion voting
system equipment as well as preservation of the malfunctioning Fulton County server, scanned
ballot images, associated memory devices containing those images and the new server onto
which the scanned ballot images will be transmitted.
12. These specific actions if taken by a Georgia court are essential to ensure that all Georgians can
be confident that Fulton County and Georgia election results are accurate.
13. I am prepared to sign a sworn affidavit for the above statements to ensure any court of their
veracity;

Declaration of James Nelson


Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, make the following declaration.

I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability, which would prevent me
from giving this declaration.
I am a retired business owner and military veteran of the Vietnam era.

My affidavit highlights anomalies and red flags during monitoring the scanning of re-
counted absentee ballots at the world Congress Center in Atlanta Georgia November 25,
2020.

The most important thing about them is some absentee ballots didn’t look folded or
creased which I only started looking for near the end of my day after someone told me to
look for them. It’s strange that they were not folded because you have to return them in
two envelopes.
I saw one box marked No. 98 that were military absentee ballots but they were on election
day ballot forms, the smaller forms. It is strange to me that they were not regular absentee
ballots and folded or creased since, to my knowledge, all absentee ballots must be in two
envelopes, one with the voter’s signature. Scanner one kept breaking down and I saw it
take more than one ballot at a time. It kept breaking down several times, had error
messages that said it should be restarted. The first operator on scanner one seemed need
several consultations to learn the procedure and the lady at Scanner two was helping him
several times. Most of the operators seemed experienced but several did not appear to be
experienced. I gave a list of which operators I thought were experienced to another
monitor to compare with his lost of who we thought was experienced and who was not. I
witnessed two workers reproducing ballots that would not go through scanners, each on
their own with no one watching. In other words, they could have input any candidate by
mistake or otherwise and how would anyone know. One lady hid her input when I started
watching her. Only two monitors from each party were allowed on the flow to cover
thirteen scanners, two reproduction computers and two men bringing and taking away
boxes of ballots to and from the scanners. Not enough monitors to monitor all that. I got a
very intimidating stare from the Fulton Director of Elections, (Mr Berry or Barrett ) that
lasted 15 to 30 seconds. I assume he was giving body language that said don’t monitor us,
because this is my territory.

The audit prior, on approximately November 14 when I was monitoring for the Republican
Party in Fulton County, I witnessed a stack of Biden ballots of over 5 inches with no Trump
ballots. Also, some counters were working alone. In other words, each person at the table
were counting on their own.

In Cobb and Fulton the pairs of people counting were not decided by political party. They
might both be the same party.

My wife and I voted early in person at the Sandy Planes polling place in Marietta. After we
printed our ballots we carried it across the room and a poll worker took our paper ballots
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 125 of 229

looked at them and put it into the scanner. I learned it is against the law for them to look at

My name is I witnessed some events at 120 Interstate North Parkway, Suite 210,
Atlanta, Ga. today, November 30, 2020.

I arrived at the location just before 12:00 p.m. I drove to the back of the office complex. Other
Patriots were at the location, which is a temporary office for the Secretary of State. There was a
black Secretary of State van parked behind suite 210.

At 12:57 p.m., a large moving van pulled up to the dock that belonged to suite 210. Myself and
another Patriot, John, tried to video what they were loading/unloading. The truck driver and
another person blocked the visibility with cardboard so we could not video what they were
doing. We kept videoing. I could hear things that were being unloaded that sounded like something
with wheels, and there were several of them. They were clearly concerned about us videoing the
process, as they tried to hide it. Pictures and videos are attached.

At 2:29 p.m., a UPS truck pulled up to the dock at 210 Interstate North Parkway. Absentee ballots
were being loaded into the UPS truck. I will send pictures and videos in another email.

I hope this helps with exposing the fraud in this election. I thank you for all that you, Lin, and
Sidney are doing to protect our democracy and freedoms! God Bless America!

Declaration of

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, (Name), make the following declaration.

1. I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability, which would prevent me

from giving this declaration.

2. I'm a self employed Utilities Construction Contractor as well as a concerned citizen.

3. I reside at

4. My affidavit highlights my surveillance of 7000 Highlands PKWY and 120 Interstate North

PKWY STE. 210 on November 30 2020.

5. On 11/29/2020 I answered the call from Lin Wood to get down to the Georgia World

Congress Center because they were currently wiping the voting machines there. When I

arrived all was quiet and there was zero sign of anyone else there that was answering the call.

I remained for several hours watching the drama of the judge that didn't know how to make a

decision unfold while I waited.

6. Eventually I returned home only to see this tweet from Link Wood.

https://twitter.com/LLinWood/status/1333182964650348546?s=19

I decided to go see things for myself and confirm.

I arrived at 7000 Highlands Pkwy SE, Smyrna, GA 30082 at 12:46 a.m. on 11/30/2020.

Here is a link to a location screenshot and video I recorded upon arrival.

https://twitter.com/Quisling_hunter/status/1333286324086956032?s=19

I stayed surveilling that location for approximately 2.5 hours. It was quiet however there was

an AT&T van in the parking lot. I did a wifi scan and the only available was Eatonvisitor.

Compare that to the video Lin Wood posted. There was more than 10 networks available and

2 SOS named ones. I thought that this is definite proof of trying to hide something.

7. I then decided to go to the Secretary of State Elections warehouse at 120 Interstate N Pkwy E

SE, suite 210, Atlanta, GA 30339

I arrived at approximately 4 a.m.

At 4:26 a.m. a Waste Management trash truck pulled into the main entrance of the complex

and made a beeline for the dumpster behind suite 210 emptied it and then left the complex

through the back entrance. There's more than 50 dumpsters here and it only picked 1. This

would indicate a special pickup.

Here is a link to the videos and map.

https://twitter.com/Quisling_hunter/status/1333348935184879617?s=19

8. I remained on site until 5:55 am. I was informed through people I was in contact with

through Twitter that another groupof concerned citizens was minutes away so I left. They did

not stay long so I coordinated with guy named Kyle to cover until I could return. I returned

at approx 9:30 am. Kyle and I agreed to split up. I took over watching the front and he

watched the back. I remained in my car in a parking space that viewed the front entrance to

suite 210 for several hours observing absolutely nothing. At 1:44 pm I observed 2 Cobb

county police cars pass in front of me and go to the back of the building. I pulled around back

to see the police talking to several people. I approached them after the police left to find out

what was going on. Turns out they had shown up for the same reason as Kyle and I and had

been at the back for several hours. They informed that a semi truck with trailer had backed up

to suite 210 loading dock. The workers inside the SOS warehouse then blocked off the sides

of the trailer at the dock so that no one could observe what was being loaded. (They showed

me the video for proof) This caused everyone there to wonder what they were hiding. A

couple by the names of John and Valerie decided to follow the truck. The driver went to
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 145 of 229

Truest park, stopped and went to the guard shack. A few minutes later Cobb County Police

showed up. John and Valerie explained what was going on and the officer then went and

talked to the driver. When the officer returned to them he informed them that the driver

refused to say what he was transporting and that he had no probable cause to search the

trailer. (This was a situation where the officer was unaware of commercial trucking

regulations. A commercial driver is obligated to disclose what they have on the truck,

whether asked by fire or law officials - the cop might not be CDL Cert but that driver is

always aware of his obligations.) The officer then informed them they could not follow

because it's harassment. He also told them he understands the situation but that he could not

follow either because that would be harassment as well. He then offered to follow back to

suite 210 and at least file a report. That is where I came in. When John and Valerie were

stopped from following Kyle in a Mercedes SUV and another person in a Suburban who's

name i do not know decided to pick up the trail. I stayed at suite 210 listening to Kyle on

speaker phone describing what was happening. The driver was going in circles all over Cobb

county trying to lose them. At 3:30 I had to leave again. I returned at 6:30 pm John and

Valerie were still there along with several others. At around 8:00 pm Kyle and the guy in the

suburban returned. They filled me in on the rest of their adventure. Shortly after I left they

said the truck driver pulled into what they described as a run down roach motel, stopped,

opened the back and acted like he was making a delivery. An orange Dodge Charger then

pulled up and blocked Kyle's SUV in and the truck driver hopped in the truck and blocked

the suburban in. A verbal altercation then ensued. The driver then called into the office at

suite 120 on speaker phone and said that these crazy folks that started following me from

your parking lot won't leave me alone what do you want me to do. The person from the office
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 146 of 229

asked if he had a lock and the driver said yes. The office person said to take it to the yard and

lock it up then. Everyone got in their vehicles and proceeded to AAA Coopers logistics yard

at 1800 Westgate Pkwy SW, Atlanta, GA 30336. (Side note: the truck and trailer both carried

the AAA Cooper logo but when we ran the trailer license plate it came back registered to

Georgia Dept of Fleet Management) When they arrived Fulton County Sheriffs were waiting

and pulled Kyle over. They did not harass him but told him to move on. I fully understand

that this is a second hand account but they corroborated everything with pictures and videos.

I'm merely providing this for corroboration of a series of very very suspicious events. My

biggest concern is why in the world did the driver refuse to go to his destination? I can

speculate many reasons, none good, but I will refrain. After all that we settled in for a cold,

snowy, uneventful night. I left at 5:45 am. and have not returned.

Declaration of

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, Seth Keshel, make the following


declaration.

1. I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability,


which would prevent me from giving this declaration.
2. I am a trained data analyst with experience in multiple fields,
including service in the United States Army as a Captain of Military
Intelligence, with a one-year combat tour in Afghanistan. My
experience includes political involvement requiring a knowledge of
election trends and voting behavior.
3. I reside at .
4. My affidavit highlights substantial deviance from statistical norms
and results regarding voting patterns in Georgia.
5. All 2020-related voting totals are taken from the Decision Desk HQ
unofficial tracker, are not certified, and are subject to change from
the time of the creation of this affidavit. Other voting totals are from
the Georgia Secretary of State.
6. Georgia has not been won by a Democratic presidential candidate
since 1992. Then-Senator Barack Obama received a large increase in
Democratic votes in his first campaign (2008), earning 1,844,123
votes; however, his support plunged 3.81% in his reelection
campaign, leaving him with 1,773,827 votes. In 2016, Hillary
Clinton earned 1,877,963 votes, just 1.8% more than where Obama
had been eight years before. Donald Trump had very little
improvement over Mitt Romney in 2016, but has improved 17.7%
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 153 of 229

from his 2016 performance, an addition of 368,899 votes. This strong


performance casts substantial doubt on a 31.6% improvement for Joe
Biden on top of the Clinton total from just four years ago.
7. Metro Atlanta is full of votes, and the urban and suburban counties
support Democratic candidates, while the exurban counties support
Republican candidates. This shift was made complete when Cobb
and Gwinnett Counties moved away from Donald Trump in 2016.
The Atlanta region has added substantial voter registrations, which
has not always correlated to a drastic increase in amount of votes
cast. This year, Gwinnett and Henry Counties have already cast
more than 40% more Democratic votes than in 2016, with Donald
Trump still gaining votes in the counties. Cobb and Douglas
Counties have now cast over 35% more Democratic votes than 2016,
while all other metro Atlanta counties are up substantially from the
2012 and 2016 elections. Population growth can certainly drive
turnout higher, but with the reported signature verification issues
and transparency violations present in Georgia, these totals are
highly suspect. The bar graph highlighting Democratic vote
increases in the 12 most heavily Democrat-voting counties is
contained in Exhibit A.
8. President Trump improved his margins in just 70 of 159 counties in
the state, mostly in the southeast, but also in minority-heavy
counties that he did not win. The most shocking losses of margin are
in strong Republican counties that are not showing indications of
flipping like Cobb or Gwinnett Counties did. President Trump
backtracked 14% in Forsyth, 13% in Fayette, 12% in Paulding, 11%
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 154 of 229

in Cherokee, and 8% in Hall, all while compiling substantially more


votes than in 2016, when many nominal Republican voters opted to
support minor party candidates. Many rural counties in Northern
Georgia have President Trump running 4-8%, or even worse, behind
his performance in 2016, despite high voter registration percentages
and overall vote increases. The major Republican counties (Forsyth,
Fayette, Paulding, Cherokee, Hall) and heavily Republican rural
areas showing heavy downward margin shift suggest that vote
tabulation errors or machine troubles are present in Georgia and
should be audited. Exhibit A contains a side-by-side comparison of
the County Classification Map of Georgia and the current analysis of
how margins have shifted in 2020 as President Trump struggles to
hold on to his margins in Northern Georgia.

Declaration of

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, , make the following declaration regarding my


observations of the full hand count audit conducted by Fulton County for the November 3rd 2020
Presidential race and the associated recount where a Dominion server malfunction forced the recount
process to stop and be repeated.

I am a career Information Technology professional with over 40 years of experience in a variety of


technical disciplines including programming, analysis, development methodologies, internet system
design, financial transaction processing and multi-factor online systems security.

In 2006, I co-founded Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia (VoterGA), a nonpartisan,
non-profit, all-volunteer, dues free organization that has been a leader in the Georgia election integrity
movement for 16 years. During that time, I performed extensive research, made many presentations
around the state and produced several studies such as the one entitled: "Unresolved Security Risks in
Ballot Marking Devices" which I presented at the National Voting Rights Task Force in 2019.

I reside at

My declaration highlights that the conduct of the full hand count audit and recount I observed clearly
warrant an immediate court order to inspect absentee ballots and to preserve certain Dominion system
components for forensic review to ensure the integrity of the election.

Declarations:

1. After the November 3, 2020 election, I monitored the hand count audit and re-count conducted
by Fulton County, for the Presidential race in November at the World Congress Center;
2. On November 14, 2020, I participated as a monitor in the full hand count audit conducted by
Fulton County. During the first day of that audit, four hand count auditors who counted ballots
confided to me and other monitors how they noticed potentially fraudulent absentee ballots.
These were not marked with a writing instrument, not creased from mailing and not on normal
ballot stock. All four of the hand count auditors are highly experienced poll workers and have
submitted notarized affidavits of their findings to attorneys.
3. On November 29, 2020, Fulton County experienced a Dominion server malfunction during the
recount. The malfunction caused the county election staff to be unable to upload previously
scanned ballot images to a central Dominion county server for tabulation AND further caused
the county election staff to be unable to upload previously scanned ballot images to a new
replacement server that was brought on site but not set up with a matching Election ID and
election files.
4. The malfunction was so severe that Fulton County election officials had to call for a Dominion
software technician to be flown in from Colorado in an attempt to correct the problems;
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 166 of 229

5. The malfunction was ALSO so severe that Fulton County election officials decided to begin
scanning all ballot images a second time in case the technician would be unable to resolve the
problem once on site;
6. The onsite Dominion technician established new election files on the same Dell All-in-One
computers that contained the ballot images previously scanned and the staff began scanning
the ballot images again to the same Dell- All-In-One computers that still contained the
previously ballot images;
7. This highly unusual deviation of standard recount processing for the 2020 Georgia Presidential
election is NOT necessarily nefarious BUT it opens a door for new security risks and potential
errors in terms of duplication of ballot scanning, technical ballot images transfers and eventual
tabulation of already questionable election results,
8. In addition, VoterGA has independently confirmed that the Dominion voting system flipped
votes from President Trump to former Vice President Biden in at least one Georgia County. In
Ware County the electronic vote totals shorted President Trump by 37 votes and allocated those
votes to former Vice President Biden as proven by their hand count audit. This irregularity was
discovered thanks to the extra due diligence Ware County election officials performed in
producing their own system of record source totals for the hand count audit to double check
totals contained in the Secretary’s ARLO system ;
9. In summary, four highly experienced hand count auditors detected potentially fraudulent ballots
during the Fulton County hand count audit, there is a known instance of the Dominion voting
system flipping votes in the Ware County Presidential election results, the reported malfunction
of the Fulton County server has introduced new potential for security risks and errors;
10. The closeness of the Presidential election, the impact of Fulton County results on Georgia
election results and the impact of Georgia election results on the national Presidential election
demands a court to act to protect the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election in Georgia
counties,
11. In light of the evidence above, I believe it is imperative for a court to order an immediate
inspection of Fulton County absentee ballots, preservation of the Ware County Dominion voting
system equipment as well as preservation of the malfunctioning Fulton County server, scanned
ballot images, associated memory devices containing those images and the new server onto
which the scanned ballot images will be transmitted.
12. These specific actions if taken by a Georgia court are essential to ensure that all Georgians can
be confident that Fulton County and Georgia election results are accurate.
13. I am prepared to sign a sworn affidavit for the above statements to ensure any court of their
veracity;

The Secretary of State is responsible by law for election


results and conducting and overseeing elections across
the state of Georgia.
The Secretary of State's website recites that it will produce
the ballots for review specifically referring to the Dominion
machines.
The Secretary of State for Georgia is the proper party
responsible for all elections state-wide.
The Secretary of State wrongly issued directions to all
counties not to cooperate with
Jacobson v. Florida Secretary of State, 974 F.3d. 1236
(11th Cir. 2020) is inapposite. That case was about the
way candidates were printed out on the ballots but had no
power to enforce the layout of the candidates on the
ballot.
Georgia law places the Secretary of State in the position
of responsibility for the conduct, oversight and
enforcement of the proper conduct of statewide
elections. Only the Georgia Secretary of State can
purchase and control the voting machines required to be
used throughout the State and in each county. O.C.G.A.
21-2-70 (5) (excepting voting machines from county
duties).
Plaintiffs do not have to sue more than 600 defendants for
Georgia's 159 counties to stop the destruction of evidence
on machines purchased by the Secretary of State. The
Georgia Secretary of State's own website makes that
clear. https://sos.ga.gov/securevoting/.
The Georgia Secretary of State is responsible for the
conduct alleged in Plaintiff's suit as a matter of law. "They
are also accountable for investigating election fraud and

merits; (2) that the Plaintiffs will suffer irreparable injury unless the injunction issues; (3) that
the threatened injury to the movant outweighs whatever damages the proposed injunction may
cause the opposing party; and (4) the injunction would not be adverse to the public interest.
, 954 F.2d 1526, 1529 (11th Cir. 1992). The Court “should pay particular regard for
the public consequences in employing the extraordinary remedy of injunction.” , 555 U.S.
at 24.

The State Defendants will show in their responsive pleadings that Plaintiffs will not succeed on
the merits and are not entitled to any relief, and State Defendants have a right to be heard on
these issues before the Court rules on Plaintiffs’ motion.

State Defendants respond to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s numbered requests as follows:

1. Ballot images

Counties are the custodians of all ballot images, paper ballots, and other voting documents—not
the Secretary of State. County election superintendents are required by law to maintain ballots
and other voting-related documents under seal. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-500(a). Plaintiffs did not name
any county election superintendents as defendants in this case. The Eleventh Circuit has made
clear that federal courts do not have the authority to exercise jurisdiction to order relief against
county officials who have not been named as parties, especially where those county election
officials have already completed their statutory obligations regarding the 2020 general
election. , 974 F.3d at 1253.

2. Impoundment of voting equipment

The State Defendants have a “strong interest in their ability to enforce state election law
requirements.” , 635 F.3d 219, 244 (6th Cir. 2011). For
this reason, the Supreme Court “has repeatedly emphasized that lower federal courts should
ordinarily not alter the election rules on the eve of an election.”
., 140 S.Ct. 1205, 1207 (April 6, 2020) (per curiam) (citing
, 549 U. S. 1 (2006)).

The Supreme Court and Eleventh Circuit have not been shy about staying lower court
injunctions that altered election rules once the 2020 general election cycle commenced.
, , No. 20A55, 592 U.S. __, 2020 WL 5887393, at *1 (Oct. 5, 2020)
(Kavanaugh, J., concurring) (“By enjoining South Carolina’s witness requirement shortly before
the election, the District Court defied [the ] principle and this Court’s precedents.”
(citations omitted)); , No. 19A1063, 591 U.S. __, 2020 WL
3604049, at *1 (July 2, 2020); , No. 20-13360, 2020 U.S. App.
LEXIS 31405, at *11-12 (11th Cir. Oct. 2, 2020) (“[W]e are not on the eve of the election—we
are in the middle of it, with absentee ballots already printed and mailed. An injunction here
would thus violate ’s well-known caution against federal courts mandating new election
rules—especially at the last minute.”).
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 174 of 229

Here, Plaintiffs seek relief that, if granted, would affect not only the currently underway
recount of the November 3, 2020, general election but would also have catastrophic impact on
election officials ability to conduct both the December 1, 2020, non-federal run-off elections
around Georgia as well as the January 5, 2020, special election for two seats in the United States
Senate as well as a seat on the Public Service Commission.

Additionally, Plaintiffs have the same redressability issues that infect the vast majority of
their complaint. The voting equipment that they seek to impound is in the possession
of election officials, and the 11th Circuit has made clear in that the State
Defendants cannot stand in as a proxy for local election officials against whom the relief should
be sought. 974 F.3d at 1256-58.

3. Allow imaging and inspection of voting equipment in 10 named counties

The same arguments about interfering with an ongoing election process identified
in (2) above apply with equal force here. In addition, Plaintiffs have the same fatal defect as
to standing and redressability in light of that their requested relief in (1) and (2) has.

4. Request additional imaging and inspection of voting equipment beyond the 10 named
counties

As noted in (3) above, Plaintiffs’ request in 4 The same arguments about


interfering with an ongoing election process identified in (2) above apply with equal force
here. In addition, Plaintiffs have the same fatal defect as to standing and redressability in light
of that their requested relief in (1), (2), and (3) has.

Plaintiffs’ counsel also incorporates a drive-by attack against Dominion in


their request for relief, unsupported by any evidence before the Court. The State Defendants
point out that Dominion is not a party to this litigation. The State Defendants reserve the right
to address further the unsupported arguments made by Plaintiffs once the State has the
opportunity to fully respond to the unsupported allegations made by Plaintiffs.

5. Produce video recordings of voting locations in the 10 named counties

First, discovery has not commenced, and there is no obligation on the part of the State
Defendants to produce anything at this juncture, especially when, as Plaintiffs’ counsel
acknowledges, all of his service on the State Defendants is either partial or inchoate at this
juncture. However, setting that aside, this request by Plaintiffs suffers the same fatal defect as to
standing and redressability that the requests in (1), (2), (3), and (4) have. Plaintiffs seek
recordings which, while they may be in the possession of officials, are in the
possession of the State Defendants. Accordingly, no relief can be ordered against
the Defendants when the relief can only be effectuated by officials.

6. Produce an executed version of the contract between the State and


“Dominion/Smartmatic”
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 175 of 229

Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 177 of 229

We strongly disagree with the State Attorney’s request for an adjournment of


the pending emergency motion until December 4, 2020.

Defendants’ response cements what has been purely a stall tactic since
Plaintiffs’ counsel notified them of the complaint on November 26, 2020. Despite
multiple efforts of outreach by Plaintiffs’ local counsel Harry MacDougald, Defendants
did not respond until this email to answer correspondence from this Court. Now
Defendants ask this Court to license by delay the very destruction of evidence Plaintiffs’
emergency motion seeks to prevent. They intend to wipe the machines of all data on
Monday November 30, 2020, in connection with a machine recount, using the same
defective system that has cast a pall of doubt over election results in 29 states and the
entire nation. We have filed and attach hereto a redacted declaration from a Union
County poll worker attesting to these facts.

The Plaintiffs are Republican Electors for the President, a county GOP
chairman, and the assistant secretary of the Georgia GOP.

Fraud has infected this election on an unprecedented level as evidence of its


magnitude increases by the day. By federal statute, the electors must be seated and
allowed to vote no later than December 14, 2020.

Plaintiffs must be able to present their case and provide sufficient time for the
court to rule and for any appellate process to conclude before that date. Plaintiffs have
moved and will continue to move expeditiously.

Moreover, Defendants are required by 52 U.S.C. §20701 and O.C.G.A. § 21-


2-500 and Secretary of State Rule 183-1-12-.13-to maintain all voting records—
including the ballot “image” created by the Dominion system which becomes the actual
“vote” read by the Dominion scanner/tabulator and the “AuditMark” images that show
how the tabulators interpreted and passed the vote on to next stage of the Election
Management System (EMS) before the state ARLO system produces the official
tabulation results. The “adjudication” process is rife with opportunity for election fraud.

The Georgia Secretary of State and his Deputy are aware of this problem.
Indeed, Dominion was rushed into Georgia by virtue of a rare no-bid contract for the
$100 million system in 2019.[1] Updates that rendered the system uncertified were
conducted by Dominion on October 31, 2020—just three days before the election—and
after thirteen days of early voting.

Another equally impermissible and uncertified “update” was performed on the


systems in Morgan and Spalding counties the night before the election. Accordingly,
Dominion machines could not have been lawfully used in Georgia for the election even
under Georgia law—much less under federal law.

The Secretary of State advertises on its website:


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 178 of 229

“Dominion will be working with the Secretary of State’s office to address


perceived concerns regarding use of marked ballots that feature
barcodes. For example, the state can make scanned images of all ballots cast
in statewide elections available, allowing anyone to do a ballot count to check
the accuracy of the results.”

Defendants have the vast resources of the State of Georgia with which to
defend this case. The claim that counsel is occupied with briefing in an entirely
unrelated case brought by a private party, does not withstand scrutiny. The massive
fraud and ballot-stuffing claims which predominate this case and necessitate access to
and inspection of the machines are not raised in Mr. Wood’s case on appeal in the
11th Circuit. The claims here are significant and distinct.

The State’s claims about service of process are also unavailing. We have
offered numerous ways of delivering the pleadings electronically. And, they are all
available on the court’s ECF system. Now that Defendants have finally responded to
correspondence from this Court, the Secretary of State should be required to:

1. Immediately produce to Plaintiffs on Monday November 30, 2020, all


“scanned images of ballots cast in the statewide election” thereby “allowing
anyone to do a ballot count to check the accuracy of results” as stated on its
website.

2. Impound all machines used in the creation, assessment, tabulation,


submission, and reporting of election results statewide to prevent any additional
destruction of evidence for a period of seven days or until further order of this Court.
While Plaintiffs understand the public interest in proceeding with a recount, there is
much greater public interest in ensuring the integrity of the process to Georgia, to the
nation, and to the world which is watching how the United States of America addresses
these troubling allegations and evidence of fraud.

3. Allow Plaintiffs to proceed immediately on Monday November 30 to have


their experts mirror-image all parts of the Dominion voting process in ten
counties over five days to collect a random sample for analysis.

The counties should include: Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, Henry,


Cherokee, Forsyth, Hart, Paulding, and Hancock.

This imaging and the related examinations need to be conducted by Plaintiffs’


experts on the equipment for Dominion at all stages of the process, including
the “poll pad,” the “Image Cast ballot marking device,” the “scanner tabulator
(ICP) which reads the QR code generated on the image which becomes the
ballot, the Central County tabulator (ICC) to include any machines utilized for
adjudication, as well as the Election Management System (EMS) equipment,
storage devices and the state’s ARLO official tabulation results. This includes
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 179 of 229

the “English Street Warehouse” located at 1365 English St. NW, Atlanta, GA
30318 for Fulton County and especially its “lunchroom.”

4. Plaintiffs propose to report at least their initial results to the Court by


Monday, December 7, 2020, for the Court and parties to evaluate whether
additional examinations of machines are warranted. At this stage, it is
possible that Dominion has already destroyed the evidence of its fraud, as
its own handbook concedes facts establishing that its audit trail amounts to
nothing reliable at all. More races are affected by the fraudulent system that
merely the presidential race.

5. Moreover, Defendants should be required to produce on Monday, November


30, 2020, the video evidence for all voting locations at all voting sites and
ballot boxes for 48 hours surrounding the election in the counties designated
above, and especially for the State Farm Arena in Fulton County, Georgia,
where the election officials lied about the water leak and witnesses saw
three women working on the computers for the voting machines in the wee
morning hours after ordering all others to leave the facility.

6. Defendants should also be required immediately to produce the executed


version of the contract between Georgia and Dominion/Smartmatic.

Accordingly, we urge the Court to consider and grant Plaintiffs’ Emergency


motion—at least to the extent outlined herein. Properly counting the legal vote of
American citizens is sacred to maintaining this Republic. The overwhelming public
interest demands nothing less than the full transparency provided by the relief
requested in Plaintiffs’ Motion for TRO and herein. Time is of the essence.

Respectfully submitted,

<hmacdougald@cpdlawyers.com>
Subject: RE: 20-cv-04809-TCB Pearson et al v. Kemp et al

Dear Ms. Klimko,

In response to your inquiry, no, the State has not begun preparation of a brief
in opposition to the Plaintiffs’ motion. While Ms. McGowan and myself are in
receipt of certain of Plaintiffs’ filings that have been made in this case, the
initial filings, including the complaint, were made after hours on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and there were apparently some filings
made slightly before midnight on Friday, which was also a state holiday. We
have not heard directly from nor been able to speak with any of our clients
about that correspondence, which included copies of only select filings along
with a link to a shared file drive, which many IT systems will not permit
download from due to security parameters in place. As Plaintiffs’ counsel
acknowledges in his email, our clients have not been served nor has counsel
sent waiver of service packets to any of the defendants. As Plaintiffs’ counsel
further acknowledges, a portion of his pleadings were sent by express
package delivery after hours last night (with no representation as to whether
those were placed in a drop box with Saturday pickup or Monday pickup nor
as to what type of package delivery was selected) with a promise to drop off
the remaining documents, including the complaint and all of the exhibits relied
upon, at an express package delivery sometime today. Neither of those
representations about inchoate delivery provides meaningful notice to our
clients.

We are currently reviewing the filings that we have been able to retrieve, which
encompass hundreds of pages and over thirty exhibits including over twenty
witness declarations. The State intends to file a brief in opposition to Plaintiffs’
motion as soon as possible, and we will be consulting with state elections
officials on what declarations may be necessary to refute plaintiffs’ allegations.
However, those elections officials are preoccupied with the on-going statewide
recount, and we expect that it will be several business days before we will be
in a position to file a complete response.

Furthermore, several of the claims raised in Plaintiffs’ action are currently


before the Eleventh Circuit on an expedited appeal in the related case of L. Lin
Wood v. Raffensperger, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04651-SDG (Appeal No. 20-
14418). Mr. Wood functions as the sole plaintiff in that litigation, but he makes
many of the same or substantially related claims as counsel for the plaintiffs in
the instant action. We expect that case, which is under appeal after Mr.
Wood’s request for emergency relief was denied by Judge Grimberg, will
resolve many of the issues before the Court in this action. Pursuant to two
orders entered by the 11th Circuit on Wednesday, Ms. McGowan and I have
been working through the holiday already (and continue to do so) preparing
two separate briefs that the 11th Circuit has ordered be filed in the expedited
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 181 of 229

appeal on Tuesday, December 1. We are hopeful that the Eleventh Circuit will
rule expeditiously during the coming week.

Accordingly, the State respectfully requests that the Court refrain from
scheduling a hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion prior to December 4, 2020, which
should allow the State, after filing the Wood briefs, to respond meaningfully to
the Plaintiffs’ motion. Although Plaintiffs have styled their motion as an
“emergency,” Plaintiffs waited until the commencement of the Thanksgiving
holiday, and 5 days after the Secretary of State and Governor certified the
slate of presidential electors on November 20th, to bring their claims. Plaintiffs
are making the unprecedented request that the Court “de-certify” and set aside
the results of the presidential election. It would be highly prejudicial to the
State Defendants and to the voters of Georgia to schedule a hearing before
the State Defendants have been afforded at least a reasonable period of time
to respond to Plaintiffs’ belated allegations.

We would be happy to participate in a scheduling conference with the Court to


discuss this matter further at the Court’s convenience.

Respectfully,

Hi counsel,

Judge Batten is aware of the pending TRO motion. We wanted to touch


base on where things are with service, etc. Have Defendants been
served and if not, do you know when you anticipate service? Also, do
you know who will be representing Defendants?

1 THE COURT: Hi. I'm Judge Batten.

2 THE CLERK: I think we have everybody here. Harry

3 MacDougald.

4 MR. MACDOUGALD: I want to announce that my

5 associate Christine Buckler is in the office with me but off

6 camera.

7 THE COURT: Thank you, Mr. MacDougald.

8 THE CLERK: Howard Kleinhendler.

9 THE COURT: Howard. Who are you with?

10 MR. KLEINHENDLER: I am with the Plaintiffs.

11 THE COURT: Keep going.

12 THE CLERK: Sidney Powell.

13 THE COURT: I don't see Ms. Powell.

14 MS. POWELL: I am also here with Lin Wood for the

15 Plaintiffs.

16 THE COURT: I don't see either of y'all.

17 THE CLERK: If you will turn on your video, please,

18 Ms. Powell.

19 MS. POWELL: I am not sure it is working properly,

20 but I have given it my best shot.

21 THE COURT: Who else do we have on the call besides

22 Ms. Powell and Mr. Wood?

23 THE CLERK: Charlene McGowan.

24 THE COURT: Is she on the video?

25 THE CLERK: Everyone's video is on except Ms. Powell

1 and Rus Willard.

2 THE COURT: I can't see everybody. I suppose that

3 is okay as long as I can hear everybody. So I think we are

4 ready to proceed. Are the Plaintiffs ready to proceed and are

5 the Defendants ready to proceed? One at a time. Plaintiffs?

6 MS. POWELL: Yes.

7 THE COURT: And the Defendants?

8 MR. WILLARD: Yes, Your Honor.

9 THE COURT: You know, I am not really sure exactly

10 what it is the Plaintiffs are trying to obtain in the case

11 right now regarding these machines. There has been a mention

12 of wiping of a machine at the World Congress Center, and also

13 been a discussion about reference to the fact that Union

14 County is going to wipe their machines. You know, I

15 understand that these county officials are obligated by state

16 law to preserve the data from the election on November 3.

17 What is it exactly that the Plaintiffs want me to order the

18 Secretary of State and/or the other Defendants to do? I am

19 not -- excuse me, I am sorry -- I am not talking about

20 ultimately under the complaint that has been filed, I am

21 talking about this emergency temporary relief right now. I

22 know you want me to throw out the election results and et

23 cetera, but I just mean on the short-term basis, what is it

24 exactly that the Plaintiffs would like? Ms. Powell?

25 MS. POWELL: Right now what you ordered in your

U.S. DISTRICT COURT

1 first order of the day would be perfect. We need access to

2 the machines as soon as possible so we can do mirror images of

3 the data that is on there and the operations that are on

4 there, because it's well-established throughout Dominion

5 software systems and anybody who knows anything about them

6 that they can be easily altered. And we understand, from what

7 is going on at the Center today, that process has already

8 begun. Apparently from 11:00 to 1:30 they began substituting

9 software in the machines that was completely unnecessary to

10 count the ballots.

11 THE COURT: Let me stop you right there and ask

12 Mr. Willard, first of all, I understand the State's

13 argument that -- the Defendants' argument that the Plaintiffs

14 lack standing. I also understand that they cite Jacobson for

15 the proposition that they aren't the right people to be sued

16 to provide this relief and that instead it should have been

17 the county elections officers. I understand all of that. But

18 I am wondering, and I am just trying to get factual

19 information here, what is it about access to the voting

20 machines that the Defendants have a problem with? Why can't

21 the Plaintiffs' experts go ahead and do a forensic

22 examination? Are they going to damage anything or in any

23 other way interfere with the performance of the government

24 officials' duties?

25 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I appreciate the

1 opportunity to respond. I apologize about the video. With

2 the weather out there, we've had it bad with issues all

3 weekend in my subdivision. I will say that we've got a

4 concern because what your original proposed order and what the

5 Plaintiffs are seeking is going to basically take certain

6 voting equipment out of the equation for the election

7 scheduled to take place this Tuesday, as well as the election

8 scheduled to take place on January 5th, because Plaintiffs are

9 wanting us to hold and basically mothball and preserve these

10 machines at the county level - not in our possession, not in

11 our custody and control - at the county level. They want to

12 preserve those in the form that they were in after the

13 November 3rd election. Under state law there is an obligation

14 on those county election officials to preserve the data. But

15 the State of Georgia has set up a system where the actual

16 equipment is used at each successive election in the cycle.

17 And there is a certain amount of recalibration in terms of

18 getting them ready. For the individual machines, they are not

19 going to have the November 3rd, 2020 ballot card being

20 inserted in them. They are not going to have that database

21 built in any longer. You're going to have a December 1st,

22 2020 database in the machines and in the tabulation computers.

23 You're going to have a January 5th, 2020 database tabulating

24 the results of the federal and state-wide run-off on January

25 5th. They have cited to Curling. Curling is inapposite

1 because it was decided before the 11th Circuit's

2 redressability decision in Jacobson. In addition, they are

3 wanting you to poke the procedure. You've got election

4 officials who, as of Tuesday morning, have to turn on the

5 lights, conduct in-person voting, Tuesday night of this week

6 have to tabulate results on the very equipment that the

7 Plaintiffs are wanting you to take out of circulation. And

8 that gets -- now it is so broad, based on what Ms. Powell has

9 asked in some of her more recent emails, you've now implicated

10 the Purcell line of cases and the progeny as interpreted by

11 this circuit that says Plaintiffs don't get to come in and

12 poke at an election procedure that is currently underway.

13 THE COURT: Let me interrupt you, Mr. Willard.

14 First of all, refresh my recollection. The election in two

15 days, which is December 1, is that the run-off for the Public

16 Service Commissioner? Or is that on January 5, 2021?

17 MR. WILLARD: The Public Service Commission race has

18 been moved to January 5th, 2021.

19 THE COURT: What is December 1?

20 MR. WILLARD: Basically any local race that is still

21 out there that --

22 THE COURT: Okay.

23 MR. WILLARD: For example, the Athens Clarke County,

24 Oconee County and, I forget, I think it's the Northeastern

25 Judicial Circuit, that District Attorney's race is on the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 196 of 229

1 ballot for this Tuesday.

2 THE COURT: I remember that.

3 MR. WILLARD: Clarke County and Oconee are going to

4 be voting in that.

5 THE COURT: Right.

6 MR. WILLARD: I am not aware here on Sunday evening

7 at 7:59 what other counties may have races on Tuesday and what

8 may not. We've been sort of struggling ever since the

9 Plaintiffs filed their emergency motion right before midnight

10 on Friday that we saw sometime around lunchtime on Saturday.

11 We've sort of been scrambling. I don't think all of my

12 clients have still seen everything, as Plaintiffs acknowledge.

13 There has been a complete absence of notice requisite to grant

14 any relief as to the temporary hearing at this point, because

15 I haven't been able to communicate with all of my clients to

16 see if all of my clients have even been properly served with

17 the emergency motion.

18 Plaintiffs have been sort of trying to do this by

19 the seat of their pants, and they keep asking for this sort of

20 ever-shifting claim of relief that they are saying isn't going

21 to matter all that much in the grand scheme of things, but in

22 terms of a currently underway election, it is going to be

23 throwing sugar in that gas tank and gumming up the works for

24 not only the December 1st election, but also the January 5th

25 election, as well as the recount that is underway.

1 THE COURT: Well, I am having the impression, from

2 what you've just said, Mr. Willard, that there really is not

3 expected to be much turnout for Tuesday's elections, whatever

4 remains statewide. Obviously we are going to have an enormous

5 turnout January 5th, 2021. I just -- you know, I don't fault

6 the Defendants for complaining about the timing, and the fact

7 that they've been given precious little time to respond to the

8 Plaintiffs' requests. I don't blame them. And my draft

9 proposed orders, the two that we are discussing from today,

10 both reflect a hearing schedule that reflects my understanding

11 of the State's position. In other words, I feel like, you

12 know, you've complained, understandably, about the timing and

13 said you need a little more time, and I feel like I am giving

14 you that by having the hearing on Friday, giving you till

15 Wednesday to file the brief in opposition. Believe me, I am

16 not saying that you are getting an abundance of time, but to

17 me, I divided that baby as fair as I thought I could, and I

18 feel like I am giving you enough time. My point is, if I am

19 going to give you that time, I don't understand why it is

20 asking too much. And forget for just a moment the argument

21 about it's not under the Secretary of State's control. I

22 understand that argument. I am going to deal with that in a

23 minute. Laying that aside for a second, the question is, why

24 isn't there enough already -- let me put it like this. What

25 you are asking for, why should you not correspondingly agree

1 to allow a quick inspection of these machines? And I guess --

2 you know, I don't know how many counties the Plaintiffs are

3 talking about. I think that Jacobson may be on point. I am

4 not sure yet. I don't know. It seems to me hard to believe

5 that the Plaintiffs should have to sue 159 elections

6 commissioners to get the relief they want. I understand

7 exactly what Jacobson said, but that was a different case.

8 What I am trying to accomplish here is, taking into both

9 sides' consideration, their arguments, their respective

10 positions, but incorporating into them also the law. The

11 Plaintiffs want to seize these and impound these machines for

12 a forensic audit by their experts.

13 Let me go back to Ms. Powell and ask you,

14 Ms. Powell, which machines are we talking about? Are you

15 talking about in every county in Georgia? Where exactly are

16 you talking about?

17 MS. POWELL: No, Your Honor. In our motion we asked

18 specifically for machines in ten counties.

19 THE COURT: Those ten counties that you've

20 highlighted. Okay.

21 MS. POWELL: Yes, sir.

22 THE COURT: And what do you want to do with those

23 machines? How long is it going to take your experts to do

24 their thing on those machines?

25 MS. POWELL: It will take approximately a day of

1 time per county, but we can dispatch three separate teams and

2 be able to do the bulk of it I would think within three days.

3 THE COURT: Okay. What do you say in response to

4 Mr. Willard's argument -- I wasn't -- let me go back to

5 Mr. Willard and just make sure I am clear on this.

6 Mr. Willard, specifically with respect to the Clarke County

7 and Oconee County DA's I guess it is a run-off. I don't

8 remember if it's a run-off or a special election. But for the

9 record, which is it, Mr. Willard?

10 MR. WILLARD: It is a special election run-off.

11 THE COURT: Yeah.

12 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, if I can clarify for the

13 record, that is just one example of a race that is scheduled

14 to be run on Tuesday. There are a myriad other races that we

15 anticipate are being held throughout Georgia, we just haven't

16 had the opportunity to compile an exhaustive list.

17 THE COURT: I understand.

18 MR. WILLARD: But we are letting you know that there

19 is a race scheduled for Tuesday.

20 THE COURT: Right. I understand. I guess what I am

21 wondering is -- well, I guess -- let me think this through.

22 It seems to me that the question should be, and we might -- I

23 might give y'all a little bit of time to find this out. Other

24 than the -- are there any elections set in these ten counties

25 that are going to take place this Tuesday, December 1? And if

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 200 of 229

1 so, are the Plaintiffs going to, to get the relief they want,

2 are they going to have to access these machines and not have a

3 -- which would prevent these ten counties from having the

4 machines to use for those Tuesday elections?

5 MR. WILLARD: I'm sorry, Your Honor, is that

6 addressed to me or Ms. Powell?

7 THE COURT: I am kind of thinking out loud and

8 addressing both of you. Basically we have narrowed it from

9 159 down to 10 counties. And the Defendants right now can't

10 tell me, and I don't fault them for that at all, what

11 elections are taking place, if any, in those ten counties this

12 coming Tuesday in two days. So how am I supposed to -- and so

13 that is one issue, is this may be moot if it turns out that

14 there is not even an election taking place in those ten

15 counties on Tuesday, I don't see what the problem would be of

16 me entering a temporary restraining order allowing the

17 Plaintiffs to have quick access to those machines for a

18 forensic examination. On the other hand, if there is going to

19 be an election in any of those ten counties, that raises the

20 question of can they still have the election without those

21 machines. Do you have to look at every single machine? I

22 mean, I don't understand how it works.

23 So I guess I would ask Ms. Powell, let's suppose

24 that in two or three of the ten counties that you are

25 interested in, there are in fact going to be run-off elections

U.S. DISTRICT COURT

1 on Tuesday, December 1. How can your objective be met, your

2 objective being a forensic examination of those machines in

3 those counties if there is going to be an election there on

4 Tuesday?

5 MS. POWELL: We can get experts to them tomorrow,

6 Your Honor. We've got at least three teams of experts that

7 could be dispatched to three separate counties to collect the

8 information from the machines. The important part is, it's

9 not just the data that comes out of the machines that is

10 crucial to the fraud case that is so rampant across the

11 country, it is the fact that an algorithm we believe was

12 uploaded to the Dominion machines that weighted the votes for

13 Mr. Biden over the votes for President Trump at approximately

14 1.22 versus .78, and that is what would change with any

15 alteration of the software that is crucial to making the proof

16 of the fraud absolutely conclusive and irrefutable. We know

17 they have already gone into the machines in Fulton County to

18 change the software with no basis to do so whatsoever. In

19 fact, there is an attorney that contacted me just earlier

20 today, in fact while I was replying to the last message from

21 the Court. I believe her last name is Broyles, a Ms. Broyles,

22 who had been contacted by a witness who was very concerned by

23 what she had seen down at the Center today, and felt like it

24 was an abject pretense that they were going to be redoing all

25 the same ballots and there was no reason to change the

1 software for any reason whatsoever.

2 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Willard, what is your

3 response to that?

4 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I apologize. I am used to

5 dealing with facts and law, not innuendo and accusation. The

6 bottom line here, the Plaintiffs have sent you a copy of the

7 Curling order which, as I mentioned earlier, is inapposite

8 because it predates Jacobson. But in that case, where the

9 security and reliability of the DRE machines, which have now

10 been retired, even Judge Totenberg recognized that you cannot

11 willy-nilly allow individuals from outside of state and county

12 custody and control procedures to have access to these

13 machines. It poses a security risk for Ms. Powell's minions

14 to go in and image everything, download the software, and

15 figure out for future elections a way to hack in so that their

16 preferred candidates can win. That is in effect what they are

17 seeking here. They want to image, as they just said, not only

18 the data on the machines, but also the entire software package

19 and the security protocols that are set up. That is something

20 that no Federal Court can possibly countenance. Even if they

21 had the appropriate defendants here, which they don't, you

22 cannot allow, during the midst of an election cycle, a third

23 party to come in and get the proverbial keys to the software

24 kingdom. I will say that we are trying to get up to speed on

25 this as much as possible. Our office is not representing the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 203 of 229

1 Secretary in the Curling litigation because our office was

2 forced to declare a conflict several years ago, but we have

3 Conflict Special Attorneys General who have spent months and

4 years dealing with the security of the State's electronic

5 voting system in Federal Court. There was a whole procedure

6 set up where you had a white room established in Virginia

7 where experts were only permitted to go in and inspect a

8 single machine at that white room after security protocols

9 were set in place where they couldn't remove anything from

10 there, where they weren't able to take anything that could

11 later compromise the system with them when they left.

12 MS. POWELL: Well it's a little bit late to be

13 worrying about the compromise of the system. That happened,

14 as we have evidence that both Iran and China were hacking into

15 the system during our election, not to mention any number of

16 other foreign entities and domestic actors as well. The

17 entire system was built to be both hackable from afar and

18 locally to overwrite votes, to overwrite review of signature,

19 to drag and drop ballots into the trash can as wanted. It was

20 conceived and created by Mr. Chavez's regime for the very

21 purpose of ensuring that he won future elections. As corrupt

22 as it could possibly be. And that's the system that the

23 Georgia Secretary of State decided was appropriate to run in

24 Georgia, despite any number of revelations of the myriad

25 problems it has.

1 THE COURT: The problem I have --

2 MS. POWELL: A two-year-old can hack these machines

3 as they are now, and we are certainly amenable to having an

4 observer and videotaping the process that we use to create the

5 mirror images, and to submitting it and holding it under a

6 protective order.

7 THE COURT: And am I correct in expecting that the

8 Defendants further contend that these are -- there is

9 proprietary information on these machines that should not be

10 publicly disclosed?

11 MR. WILLARD: Yes, Your Honor, as well as from a

12 security protocol standpoint.

13 THE COURT: Right. Okay. Well, here is the

14 problem. It's Sunday, November 29th at 8:12 p.m. This motion

15 did not come in until late Friday night. I was not aware of

16 the motion until Saturday. And the State, including the

17 Secretary of State, the Governor, and the Elections Board

18 members have hardly had any opportunity to respond to these

19 allegations. I don't know if that is anybody's fault. I

20 don't know at this particular point -- I haven't considered

21 the issue of whether the suit should have been brought earlier

22 and the Plaintiffs are guilty of laches. I have no opinion on

23 that issue at this point. But what I do have an opinion on is

24 that the burden is on the Plaintiffs, and the relief that they

25 seek is extraordinary. And although they make allegations of

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 205 of 229
16 of 39

1 tremendous worldwide improprieties regarding the Dominion

2 voting machines, those allegations are supported by precious

3 little proof. Now let's just suppose hypothetically that the

4 obligations are true, and there simply has not been time to

5 marshal the evidence in support of those allegations. The

6 problem with that is that that doesn't create an exception for

7 me as to whether I should grant this extraordinary relief of a

8 temporary restraining order, which of course can only be

9 granted in truly extraordinary circumstances, and the

10 Defendant -- and it's not even clear to the Court that the

11 named Defendants are the proper parties to this lawsuit with

12 respect to this particular form of relief that the Plaintiffs

13 are seeking. So I am going to deny the Plaintiffs' request

14 for a temporary restraining order on the grounds that the

15 Plaintiffs have failed to carry their burden of showing a

16 substantial likelihood, a real likelihood of prevailing on the

17 merits on this claim, or at least I am going to refrain from

18 granting that relief now. If, in the course of discovery in

19 this case, the Plaintiffs become -- the Plaintiffs acquire

20 additional proof that would support their allegations that

21 might make a difference, I am happy to revisit this order.

22 But for now, that is going to be the order of the Court. I am

23 going to deny the request for temporary injunctive relief.

24 And here is what we are going to do regarding the

25 scheduling. The Plaintiffs' response to Defendants' motion

U.S. DISTRICT COURT

1 will be due on Wednesday December 2 by -- I am going to change

2 that to 5 o'clock p.m. Eastern Standard Time. If the

3 Plaintiffs choose to file a reply, it will be due 24 hours

4 after the Defendants' response is filed. And we will have an

5 in-person hearing in my Atlanta courtroom this coming Friday

6 at 10 o'clock a.m. to consider the balance of the claims that

7 have been raised by the Plaintiffs in their complaint. All

8 right. Anything else, Counsel?

9 MR. WOOD: Judge Batten, this is Lin Wood. How are

10 you, sir?

11 THE COURT: Yes, sir. How are you doing, sir?

12 MR. WOOD: I am doing well. Please let me make one

13 request.

14 THE COURT: Okay.

15 MR. WOOD: I understand Your Honor's ruling. I kind

16 of live under the theory that he who has nothing to hide hides

17 nothing. Would there be any way -- would there be any way to

18 give us a very limited, such for example let us go in

19 tomorrow, pick two or three counties, and then randomly two or

20 three machines and do the forensics on that? Because at least

21 we would have some information in the event all of these

22 machines end up being wiped clean? Something very --

23 THE COURT: At first blush, I don't have -- I would

24 not have too much of a problem with that. It certainly is

25 more reasonable than what we have talked about. But the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 207 of 229
18 of 39

1 problem is, again, the State has represented to me that -- the

2 Defendants have represented to me, through counsel, that there

3 are security concerns that they have, and I am being asked to

4 decide this on a Sunday night, have been received no evidence

5 from the Defendants because they haven't had a chance. So I

6 am going to respectfully deny, Lin, your request. But you

7 know, I am going to leave it with -- it is hard for me to

8 believe -- let me ask this. Let me put it this way. Doesn't

9 sound like 159 counties in Georgia are going to have special

10 run-off elections on Tuesday, special election run-offs, I

11 should say, on Tuesday. Why can't you -- if we can find ways

12 to protect the State's legitimate interest in security and

13 proprietary software, can you not look for the algorithm that

14 you claim is there and any other incriminating evidence from

15 some of the other counties, from one or more of the counties

16 where no election is going to take place Tuesday? Why can't

17 you do that?

18 MR. WOOD: Your Honor, this is Mr. Wood again. We

19 can do that. And in fact, this one solution would be if we

20 identify a very limited number of machines, number of

21 counties, we can have our experts come in and do a mirror

22 image, we can turn it over to the Court so there are no

23 security concerns, and then it can be examined at a different

24 time. But the problem is, once the machines are wiped, the

25 evidence is gone. If there is nothing there, there is nothing

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 208 of 229

1 there. But at least we will have an opportunity to check on a

2 limited basis and we can preserve it and secure the security

3 of it by having our experts, with their oversight, mirror

4 image and then turn it over to the possession of the Court for

5 a later review. But we don't get that opportunity, once lost

6 we will never get it again. I don't see any harm to the State

7 to preserve this information on a very limited basis.

8 THE COURT: Okay, I am having a hard time

9 identifying any such harm myself. Mr. Willard, what would be

10 wrong with the Plaintiffs being granted access to three of the

11 counties not among -- not in any county where there is going

12 to be an election this coming Tuesday, but tomorrow be granted

13 access in three of these where all of the evidence that are

14 obtained by Plaintiffs' experts will be accompanied by

15 forensic experts from the Defendants. I know you may not be

16 able to line that up by tomorrow, so it probably wouldn't be

17 tomorrow, but where we can have a forensic expert with the

18 Plaintiffs on behalf of the Defendants accompanying and

19 overseeing the Plaintiffs' expert's inspection of the

20 machines; and then with all of the data and all of the

21 information obtained from that inspection, or those three

22 inspections, to be turned over to the Court in camera and not

23 provided to Plaintiffs or their counsel or anybody else until

24 further order of the Court? That's -- I want to hear your

25 response, Mr. Willard. But I have to say, at first blush that

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 209 of 229
20 of 39

1 doesn't sound very unreasonable to me. What is the response?

2 And again, we are laying aside for a moment whether or not

3 they have sued the right parties. We are not going to address

4 that yet. But let's assume that they did, and let's assume

5 that they do have standing, what is wrong with that proposal

6 that I have just suggested?

7 MR. WILLARD: Well Your Honor, I think you've hit

8 the nail on the head, and it is sort of impossible to set

9 aside Jacobson. There is no redressability here as to any of

10 these machines right now. They are not in the custody and

11 control of the State Defendants. You can order us every day

12 this week; we cannot give you access to the Hart County voting

13 machines. I cannot go in and tell the Hart County Elections

14 Superintendent to do squat in regards to discovery in a case

15 that they are not a party to. Second, if you are violating

16 trade secrets and security protocols, it doesn't matter if you

17 are doing it for one machine or the entirety of machines. If

18 Plaintiffs' experts are going to come in with a thumb drive

19 and stick it in and take their screwdrivers out and do

20 everything to these machines, we have no safeguards that we

21 can put in place, in this very compressed time frame that

22 Plaintiffs are wanting to have, where you prevent somebody

23 from sticking that thumb drive in their pocket and walking out

24 the door, or doing something else that is going to impact that

25 machine for future elections.

21 of 39

1 THE COURT: Mr. Wood, I will give you the last word.

2 MR. WOOD: I don't believe we will be using

3 screwdrivers. I think we can do a simple mirror image, they

4 can see it done, and then it will be turned over to the Court.

5 If we've got the wrong parties, we've got the wrong parties.

6 But if we have the right parties, and the Court determines

7 that the Secretary of State does have the authority as we

8 contend that the Secretary of State does, I don't see any

9 harm. We will turn it over to the Court. The battles can be

10 fought. If we win, then we can have -- we can have the

11 examination completed. But if we don't get something, then we

12 end up with nothing, and we don't know whether or not it was

13 erased. I don't see any downside, Your Honor. We turn it

14 over to you and hold it until further rulings in the case. It

15 is just a matter of preserving some reasonably minimum amount

16 of evidence with respect to some of these machines.

17 MS. POWELL: I believe there are no elections Your

18 Honor in Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, or Forsyth, or Paulding, or

19 Hall, or Houston, or Hart, or Hancock, all of which we have

20 requested, or Gwinnett or Henry. In fact, Defendants haven't

21 said where there are any elections at all.

22 THE COURT: Okay.

23 MR. WILLARD: One last point, if I could.

24 THE COURT: Yes.

25 MR. WILLARD: I would point you -- you know, I know

1 there has been some question about whether the Jacobson

2 decision applies to voting equipment, and decisions made

3 regarding voting equipment. I would point you to the Anderson

4 case, Anderson versus Raffensperger, decided by Judge Brown

5 last month, the docket number is 1:20-CV-03263. It is a

6 78-page decision, and it is very well-reasoned. And pages 62

7 through 68 go into great detail about how the failure to

8 include county election officials presented a redressability

9 problem. Remember, Your Honor, you didn't choose who the

10 Plaintiffs sued, I didn't choose who the Plaintiffs sued. The

11 Plaintiffs knew or should have been aware of the Jacobson line

12 of cases and its progeny. You --

13 MS. POWELL: Jacobson is Florida law.

14 THE COURT: Let him finish.

15 MR. WILLARD: -- cannot craft relief to county

16 defendants --

17 THE COURT: Go ahead.

18 MR. WILLARD: You cannot craft relief that goes to

19 county defendants and equipment in county custody and control

20 where the Plaintiffs have only chosen to sue State Defendants.

21 THE COURT: Ms. Powell, let me ask you this along

22 those lines of what he is saying. I understand the

23 distinction that the Plaintiffs have argued through their

24 counsel's emails to me today between this case and Jacobson.

25 But you know, it sounds to me that Mr. Willard is probably

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 212 of 229

1 correct that as a matter of fact and law, the Secretary of

2 State can't call up to Marietta and tell the Cobb County

3 elections officials what to do with their machine. What you

4 want to do is access the machine. You are not talking about

5 data results from the election. You want to actually access

6 the physical machines for a forensic inspection. And --

7 MS. POWELL: Your Honor.

8 THE COURT: Just a second. And so this is the first

9 time we are really addressing the redressability issue. Tell

10 me what is the Plaintiffs' response to that.

11 MS. POWELL: The machines are owned by the State of

12 Georgia. They were purchased by the State of Georgia for $107

13 million of taxpayer money. They are controlled by the

14 Secretary of State's office which has legal responsibility

15 both for investigating the fraud and making sure the machines

16 are what are supposed to be used and properly used and

17 enforcing the rules and regulations and laws related to

18 elections for the State of Georgia. It is clear from the

19 Curling decision that we do not have to sue 600 people in 159

20 counties to obtain the relief we want. It couldn't be more

21 clear as a matter of law.

22 MR. WOOD: Judge, could I say one last thing?

23 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

24 MR. WOOD: And I appreciate this has all been done

25 with not a lot of time.

1 THE COURT: Right.

2 MR. WOOD: Again, if we don't have the correct

3 parties, we can add the correct parties before the Court would

4 release for further examination the materials that we would

5 collect in the next day or two.

6 THE COURT: I don't understand why the Plaintiffs

7 don't just move to add Cobb County as a party to the case, or

8 the Cobb -- I don't know who it is, Cobb County elections

9 officers? I don't know. I am not going to give you a legal

10 opinion.

11 MR. WOOD: Let me say this. If the Court gives us

12 until Tuesday to examine, we will add the counties that the

13 Court lets us go examine, we will add them tomorrow; add them

14 tonight. I just don't think -- I think that is a procedural

15 issue, and ultimately one the Court can decide, but there is

16 no harm, Your Honor, in preserving what could be critical

17 evidence with respect to this election. We are not asking to

18 look at it until we've got it all down pat and Your Honor is

19 satisfied we are entitled to it, but let's preserve at least

20 some small amount reasonably so we don't find ourselves with

21 no evidence simply because the evidence was erased or

22 destroyed. If there is nothing there, there is nothing there.

23 But, Your Honor, if there is something there, then this state

24 has a serious problem. And I think it ought to be in the

25 interest of the taxpayers and the voters that this material,

U.S. DISTRICT COURT

Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 214 of 229

1 on a reasonable basis, limited basis, be preserved so that

2 down the road, if we meet all the other qualifications to have

3 it fully examined, we've at least got it preserved. That

4 seems to me to be in the best interest of the citizens of the

5 State of Georgia.

6 THE COURT: Well let me go back --

7 MS. POWELL: We have obtained access to machines in

8 another state, with no problem of damage to the machines or

9 exposure of trade secrets or any other concern, and in that

10 instance we found that there were 1,474 votes on two rolls on

11 a machine, 1,474 which were changed across the two rolls,

12 almost the same number of voters that voted had their votes

13 completely changed on Dominion machines.

14 THE COURT: Where was that?

15 MS. POWELL: That is a county in Michigan.

16 THE COURT: That was this year?

17 MS. POWELL: Yes, sir. Just a few days ago.

18 THE COURT: Right, okay. And again, just for my

19 factual understanding, Mr. Willard, are you telling me that if

20 I grant this relief, let's say to -- if I were to add a couple

21 of these counties as defendants, or whatever the right entity

22 or person is that should be the defendant, are you telling me

23 that if I grant this relief for this forensic inspection,

24 there is no way that any election run-off can take place on

25 Tuesday in that county? Or do you know?

1 MR. WILLARD: That is my understanding right now.

2 Once again, I am working on Sunday night at 8:28 p.m. and

3 something that I've been aware of for a little over 24 hours.

4 But at this point in time, Your Honor has already indicated

5 which way he was going to rule, and now Plaintiffs are trying

6 to shift the ground underneath us. The fact is, as I

7 indicated to your clerk last night, Ms. McGowan and I have now

8 given up the entirety of our Sunday, we have responded in a

9 timely fashion, at the Court's request, first on a

10 three-and-a-half-hour turnaround, and then on an hour

11 turnaround, substantively responding to Plaintiffs' arguments.

12 And their responses have been long on rhetoric and short on

13 any authority. We are at a situation now where if the Court

14 is willing to do what it said it was going to do earlier in

15 this call and earlier this evening via email and deny relief,

16 we go on and we prepare for the Friday hearing. If the Court

17 is inclined to grant the relief, we would ask you to certify

18 it so that we can immediately take it up to the 11th Circuit

19 and the 11th Circuit can reassure the Plaintiff that it meant

20 what it said when it ruled in Jacobson.

21 THE COURT: All right, I am going to have to think

22 about it. I am not sure yet what I am going to do, but I need

23 to do some research and think about it a little bit. I am

24 trying to -- I would like, Mr. Willard -- I am sure we are

25 going to talk again tomorrow. I guess we ought to just --

1 let's plan on an 11 o'clock Zoom hearing tomorrow to address

2 some of these issues. And I am going to want to know -- let

3 me just say, in terms of what I am thinking out loud is that

4 if I were to allow -- let me first ask this question of

5 Ms. Powell and Mr. Wood. If I were to allow the forensic

6 inspection of either the Cobb or Gwinnett or Cherokee or Hart,

7 whatever -- wouldn't it just be sufficient to add one of those

8 counties? If it is the same machine?

9 MS. POWELL: No, Your Honor. The counties can read

10 differently. We really request Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee

11 counties at the bare minimum.

12 THE COURT: Okay. I hear you.

13 MS. POWELL: And we can add those as Defendants

14 tonight if that is important to the Court. I really don't

15 think it's necessary as a matter of law, but we can certainly

16 add them.

17 THE COURT: Who exactly would you move to add?

18 MS. POWELL: The Board of Elections of each -- all

19 the members of the boards of those four counties. We would

20 have to add 12 people.

21 THE COURT: I heard three counties. Cobb, Gwinnett,

22 and Cherokee.

23 MS. POWELL: Three counties, but four people per

24 county, is my understanding.

25 THE COURT: Okay. Here is what I would like to do.

1 Mr. Willard, if you could tell me when we resume tomorrow at

2 11:00, if you could tell me, having done a little research,

3 what impact, if any, allowing this forensic examination on

4 these three counties' machines would have on the elections

5 that are supposed to take place Tuesday? It may be that there

6 is no election in any of those counties, there may be an

7 election in all three of them. I have no idea.

8 MS. POWELL: It is my understanding, Your Honor,

9 there is no election in those three counties.

10 THE COURT: Let me have that confirmed. I will give

11 Mr. Willard a chance to confirm that tomorrow. And also --

12 MR. WILLARD: That was Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee.

13 Correct, Your Honor?

14 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

15 MS. POWELL: Correct.

16 THE COURT: I want to hear a little more on the

17 issue of how would -- you know, one of the issues in the

18 decision of whether to grant injunctive relief is what harm

19 the party opposing the injunction would suffer if the relief

20 were granted. That is one of the four factors that I am sure

21 all of you know quite well, I certainly would expect that you

22 do. I know you do. I would like to hear, Mr. Willard, from

23 you tomorrow morning if you could please tell me -- if you

24 could answer that question for me. What harm would it do the

25 State or to these Defendants, including any newly added

1 Defendants, if I were to grant that relief?

2 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I will do my best, but it

3 may not be me on the call. As I indicated to your clerk,

4 we've got two brief responses in the Woods case due on

5 Tuesday. We've already had to give up our Sunday responding

6 to this, after I asked your clerk last night not to schedule

7 anything until after those briefs were filed. Now because of

8 Plaintiffs' shifting demands, they want to go forward with a

9 hearing in the morning. Whoever is going to respond to that

10 hearing is going to have to take time away from getting the

11 responses filed in the 11th Circuit on Tuesday, including our

12 client, in the midst of an ongoing state-wide recount for

13 President, in the midst of conducting and supporting county

14 election officials with the December 1st election, as well as

15 getting ready for early and advanced voting for the January

16 5th election. We --

17 THE COURT: I understand, Mr. Willard. Let me ask a

18 question of Ms. Powell. If there are in fact no elections

19 taking place in those three counties, why does this have to be

20 done tomorrow? Why do we have to have the answer to this by

21 tomorrow or Tuesday?

22 MS. POWELL: Time is of the essence, Your Honor, on

23 the entire election proceeding.

24 THE COURT: I got you. In other words, the general

25 time-is-of-the-essence principle. It sounds to me like having

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 219 of 229
30 of 39

1 a response by 11:00 tomorrow is not necessary and would be

2 unreasonable to expect the Secretary of State, the Governor

3 and the Elections Board Defendants to be able to respond so

4 quickly. So here is what I am going to do. I am going to

5 reserve ruling. I am going to keep the schedule regarding

6 briefing and the hearing, and I am going to reserve ruling on

7 the Plaintiffs' request -- I am going to consider it a motion

8 to amend the pleadings, and a motion to add as parties these

9 elections officers in Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee counties.

10 I want the Secretary of State to let me know -- I will give

11 you a deadline in the second, but what I want the Secretary of

12 State and the other Defendants to let me know is what

13 opposition, if any, they have or what conditions they would

14 like to see complied with if these machines are going to be

15 inspected. In other words, if they want their own inspector

16 there, et cetera. I agree with Ms. Powell on the general

17 principle that time is of the essence, but it is not at all

18 reasonable to give the Defendants in this case until 11

19 o'clock tomorrow morning. There is just no way they can do

20 that. I am trying to decide right now how much time to give

21 them. It certainly is going to be this week. I guess,

22 Mr. Willard, what I would like you to do is let me know, as

23 soon as you find out, but in any event you are going to have

24 to let me know by Wednesday. That is what my first blush

25 issue is this issue. I just don't see what the urgency is.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 220 of 229

1 The case will still be pending after this week. So I just --

2 you know, I understand the -- I completely understand the

3 general urgency of the case, but the Defendants have got to

4 have a little bit of time to provide that information I want,

5 which again namely is whether they would oppose these three

6 counties' machines being forensically examined, and why they

7 would -- what the basis for any such opposition would be, and

8 I would want that supported with an affidavit or affidavits

9 from an expert or experts or somebody affiliated with the

10 Defendants who could provide evidence to why that would be

11 harmful. Again, we are focusing on the -- I believe is the

12 third prong -- I may have them in the wrong order -- of the

13 four-part test, which is what the harm would be to the party

14 opposing the injunctive relief. So that is going to be the

15 order of the Court. And I will --

16 MR. KLEINHENDLER: Your Honor.

17 THE COURT: Yes, sir?

18 MR. KLEINHENDLER: I wanted to make one point here.

19 And that is, I understand the State's concern about having us

20 go in and look at their machines. However, what we have

21 alleged with affidavit testimony is that they are erasing

22 their machines. So while they are thinking about what the

23 harm is, and while they are figuring out where their elections

24 are that they can't identify, at a minimum, Your Honor, where

25 there are no elections to be taking place, there should be an

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 221 of 229
32 of 39

1 order entered now that no machine should be erased. Because

2 that is very troubling, it is spoliation, it's irreparable

3 injury. That is point one. I want to make one other point

4 for you, Your Honor. They mentioned that the county is under

5 an obligation to preserve the evidence of the election. Let

6 me explain to you what they preserve. They have these

7 machines that people vote on, and they produce these memory

8 cards. They make a copy of the memory card, but the machine

9 stays the same. It's sort of like you have an iPhone --

10 THE COURT: I understand.

11 MR. KLEINHENDLER: You can take out the sim, right?

12 THE COURT: Right.

13 MR. KLEINHENDLER: So I would ask Your Honor to

14 please order no more erasing machines that are not being --

15 THE COURT: Okay.

16 MR. KLEINHENDLER: -- used for these local

17 elections --

18 THE COURT: That sounds reasonable to me,

19 Mr. Willard, until we resolve this in just a few days. Do

20 your clients have any objection to that? The way I would

21 phrase it, and I am going to give you a chance to respond to

22 this, but my inclination is to order and temporarily restrain

23 the Defendants to the extent it is within their lawful

24 authority, from altering or destroying or erasing or allowing

25 the alteration, destruction, or erasing of any of the computer

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 222 of 229
33 of 39

1 information on any of the machines in these three counties

2 that we discussed, specifically Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee.

3 What is y'all's response? What is the State's response to

4 that, Mr. Willard?

5 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I will say that there are

6 no State officials, there is no one within the direction and

7 control of any of the named State Defendants who is going to

8 be doing anything in regards to this voting equipment this

9 week or in the coming months. So you still have the same

10 redressability issue. You can order us to stop all you want,

11 but if we are not the ones behind the wheel, it is not doing

12 anything.

13 THE COURT: Well then I would think that the

14 Defendants wouldn't have any problem being ordered to stop.

15 If they are not doing anything, there is nothing for them to

16 stop. So that is going to be another feature of this order.

17 And we are not going to enter a written order, it will be in

18 the transcript. But again, to the extent that it's within the

19 Defendants' lawful authority, they shall not alter, destroy,

20 or erase any of this information from any of these three

21 computers, nor will they allow anyone within their control and

22 authority, legal authority, from doing any of those things.

23 It sounds to me like you've been put on notice, Plaintiffs'

24 counsel, by Mr. Willard, quite clearly that you need to direct

25 these concerns towards these county officials. The State, in

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 223 of 229
34 of 39

1 this -- obviously the Defendants in this case are disavowing

2 any authority or any responsibility or connection with these

3 county machines in this sense, they are not going to be going

4 down to any -- they are not going down to Lawrenceville or

5 Canton, or Marietta to try to erase any of these machines, the

6 concern that -- is Mr. Kleinhendler?

7 MR. KLEINHENDLER: Kleinhendler, Your Honor.

8 THE COURT: I was close. Closer than you usually

9 get, I'll bet. So let's do that. Why don't we do this, why

10 don't we have a Zoom call tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock

11 where we will wait to hear back from someone on behalf of the

12 Defendants, if it is either Mr. Willard or someone else, to

13 respond, and let us know if there is something that the Court

14 is missing regarding the inspection, the forensic examination

15 of these machines. So my --

16 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor?

17 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

18 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, we have moved again from

19 Wednesday. To say --

20 THE COURT: All I want tomorrow, Rus, is an update.

21 If they can give us an update. If you want to update. In

22 fact, I will leave it like that. But if you want to update

23 us, just let us know tomorrow, and we'll be ready for a call

24 at 4 o'clock. But if you don't have anything to report

25 tomorrow, that is perfectly fine. I understand the competing

LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 224 of 229

1 interests that the Defendants have. They are trying to juggle

2 a lot of balls in the air at one time. I understand that.

3 Let me know if you know something tomorrow. And if not -- I

4 guess, you know, I am -- I have to admit, you know, when I

5 think out loud like this, which is not something judges enjoy

6 doing because it gets pointed out to them that they are

7 changing their mind. And I am inclined to agree with

8 Mr. Willard on this. Let's wait until Wednesday to hear back

9 from Mr. Willard. How about something in writing,

10 Mr. Willard, by the same time that the brief is due on

11 Wednesday, 5:00 p.m., in response to this inquiry that the

12 Court has as to the basis for any opposition by the Defendants

13 to this particular relief regarding the forensic examination

14 of the Dominion equipment in these three counties. That is

15 what the order of the Court is going to be. And contrary to

16 what I said a minute ago, I will put it in writing so everyone

17 can see it and it will be clear and you don't have to read the

18 transcript. That order will be entered either tonight or

19 more -- I would say almost certainly not until tomorrow

20 morning. Okay? Anything else, Counsel? Yes, sir?

21 MR. WILLARD: Just two procedural points. One, do

22 you want as a unified filing on Wednesday, or do you want us

23 to make them as two separate filings?

24 THE COURT: Separate filings.

25 MR. WILLARD: All right. So I won't need, I think

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 225 of 229

1 at this juncture, to ask for a page limit extension, but I may

2 revisit that issue with the Court.

3 THE COURT: You can have however many pages you

4 need. There is no limit on the pages.

5 MR. MACDOUGALD: The Plaintiffs as well, Your Honor?

6 THE COURT: The Plaintiffs' response as well.

7 MR. MACDOUGALD: Thank you.

8 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, the second point, and now

9 that you have said that you are going to reduce this to

10 writing, I know that there has been a lot of rumor, innuendo,

11 and misinformation spread out there regarding what has taken

12 place in a number of courts around the country, and this Court

13 today, there were a number of social media posts made about

14 this Court's indication of the two earlier rulings.

15 THE COURT: Right.

16 MR. WILLARD: I ask you to make clear in your order

17 that only the State Defendants are being enjoined by anything

18 in your order and it is not enjoining any county officials

19 from doing anything.

20 THE COURT: Not at this time. They are not parties

21 to the case yet.

22 MR. WILLARD: Thank you.

23 MR. WOOD: Judge, for what it's worth, when we add

24 them tonight, we will be sending spoliation litigation hold

25 letters. I think they have already received those a week ago,

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 226 of 229

1 but we will redo it.

2 THE COURT: And Mr. Willard, just to be clear, you

3 are referring to -- you refer to the Governor and the

4 Secretary of State, not the other members of the Elections

5 Board? Is that right?

6 MR. WILLARD: I am actually referring -- I'm sorry?

7 THE COURT: The Governor and the Secretary of State.

8 Let's see, of course I don't -- the Governor is a party and of

9 course the Secretary of State is a party, and then we have

10 the --

11 MR. WILLARD: The Election Board --

12 THE COURT: -- four other Election Board members.

13 And what you just wanted to make clear to me, or clarify with

14 me, was that it was your understanding that the order I am

15 going to enter would only be enjoining the Governor and the

16 Secretary of State and not the four Election Board members who

17 are also named as Defendants. Am I right about that?

18 MR. WILLARD: No, Your Honor. I am requesting that

19 you make clear in your order that only the State Defendants

20 are enjoined, and there is no injunction against any of the

21 unnamed county defendants.

22 MR. KLEINHENDLER: Your Honor, this is Howard again.

23 I think your language earlier was right on. You said you are

24 going to enjoin the State Defendants and anybody in their

25 control. And our argument is that all these counties are

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 66-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 227 of 229

1 under the control of the Secretary of State. So now if the

2 State wants to play a game and say, well, we have no ability

3 to control the counties, okay, we will deal with that on a

4 sanctions motion. But I think you were very clear, Your

5 Honor, anybody -- the Defendants and anybody under their

6 control. What the State is asking for now is to wiggle out of

7 that order, and I would urge you not to give to them that

8 language. It is enough for you to say the Defendants in the

9 case and anybody under their control.

10 THE COURT: Okay. I understand the issue. The only

11 point I was trying to make with Mr. Willard was I was trying

12 to see if he was trying to exclude the Governor. I understand

13 that his main point was really that I was not ordering

14 directly any county officials to do or not do anything. I

15 understand that that is what he was saying. I think I

16 understand it. I am actually clear on it. So I think

17 everybody has their marching orders, we know what to do. I am

18 the one that has to move next. I have to enter an order that

19 clarifies all of this, and I think I do that with no problem.

20 It will probably be in the morning, okay?

21 MR. MACDOUGALD: Judge, one housekeeping matter. In

22 terms of serving future papers and filings on the Defendants,

23 can we agree or can the Court order that service on

24 Mr. Willard and Ms. McGowan is sufficient service on the State

25 Defendants?

1 THE COURT: I can't order them to waive their right

2 to be served.

3 MR. MACDOUGALD: Okay, but what we would have to do

4 otherwise is send the papers directly to the State Defendants.

5 THE COURT: Right. That is a matter for you and

6 Mr. Willard to discuss when I am not on the line. If the

7 Defendants want to acknowledge and waive service that is fine,

8 and if they don't that is not something that I am going to

9 upset with a ruling.

10 MR. MACDOUGALD: Okay.

11 THE COURT: We are adjourned, and you will hear from

12 me in the morning. Y'all have a good night.

Declaration of Stephen Joseph Matzura, Jr.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, (Name), make the following


declaration.

1. I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability,


which would prevent me from giving this declaration.

2. I spent five years in the U.S. Navy with the rating STG3, where I
held a top secret clearance from 1998 through 2002. I spent my time
at four bases: Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado, CA; NSGA, Kunia,
Hawaii; Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas; Anti-
Submarine Warfare Base (Naval Base Point Loma), San Diego, CA.

3. I reside at 1012 N. Ocean Blvd.# 811 Pompano Beach, FL 33062

4. My affidavit highlights two videos and four photos found on the


Internet showing presumably Ruby Freeman and presumably her
daughter (Shaye Freeman Moss) in one of the photos at an election
site in Georgia with potential election irregularities.

5. Two of the images are freeze frame images of presumably Ruby


Freeman prior to moving suitcases of ballots from the four screen
split videos that have gone public on the news.

6. One of the photos shows a photo of presumably Ruby Freeman with a


name identifying Ruby Freeman on her desk. The identifier was a
sign stating 'La Ruby's Unique Treasures'.

7. One of the videos shows what appears as election material being


handed off (video USB handoff) by presumably Shaye Freeman Moss
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 67-2 Filed 12/06/20 Page 3 of 3

who I believe is Ruby Freeman's daughter. Presumably Ruby


Freeman appears in that video as well.

8. The other video is presumably Ruby Freeman videoing herself at an


election center filled with ballots and boxes.

Name: Stephen Joseph Matzura, Jr.

PLAINTIFFS’ CONSOLIDATED RESPONSE TO THE


MOTIONS TO DISMISS AND REPLY IN SUPPORT OF
EMERGENCY MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Come now the Plaintiffs and submit this Conslidiated Response to the

Motions to Dismiss and Reply in Support of Emergency Motion for Injunctive

Relief.

INTRODUCTION

The motions to dismiss contends that Plaintiffs’ claims are baseless. In

fact, they are based on the Constitution, and are supported by substantial

and voluminous evidence filed with the Complaint showing in multiple

dimensions that the election was conducted in an unconstitutional manner

and was infected with fraud, politically biased counting, and illegality more

than sufficient to put the outcome in doubt. The evidence presented shows a

substantial disregard for the State Legislature’s Election Code for federal
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 4 of 53

elections, which are clearly within the jurisdiction and power of a federal

court to redress. Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 121 S.Ct. 525 (2000). There is no

question that Plaintiffs have alleged sufficient facts to conduct an inquiry

into whether the acts of the State’s administrative agents in this regard

constituted a significant departure from the legislative scheme and that this

Court has jurisdiction and authority to redress these grievances.

In response to Plaintiffs’ substantial body of evidence from many

credible fact and expert witnesses substantiating the allegations (further

discussed below), the Defendants put their fingers in their ears. They address

this evidence with self-serving press releases that cover the ugly and

unconstitutional political malfeasance at the heart of this case. Instead, they

offer a series of slogans – standing, subject matter jurisdiction, and failure to

state a claim for relief – the evidence being the last thing they want the

Court to notice. They contend that presidential electors, who legally are

candidates in the election, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-10, have no standing to complain

that the election was stolen from them by fraud, illegality, unconstitutional

political discrimination in the counting of the votes and a wholesale

”departure from the legislative scheme.” They invoke an equitable doctrine,

laches, to shield clearly unconstitutional election fraud and illegality from

judicial scrutiny, as if equity would lend itself to such a purpose.

4
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 5 of 53

Plaintiffs could not claim the election was stolen until it actually was

stolen and evidence of that theft emerged with sufficient clarity to support

the allegations of this case. As the world now knows, the wrongdoing for

which this case seeks relief was completed on and after November 3, 2020.

This case was filed on the third business day after certification, well within

the most closely analogous state law limitations period, which requires

election contests be filed within five days of certification.1 See O.C.G.A. § 21-

2-524(a). Cf. SCA Hygiene Prod. Aktiebolag v. First Quality Baby Prod., LLC,

137 S. Ct. 954, 960 (2017) (laches does not generally apply within statutory

limitations period). Even more to the point, this lawsuit was filed before the

certification of the recount results.2 Arguments that Plaintiffs have failed to

state a claim betray unfamiliarity with the allegations, the evidence and the

relevant law. The motion should be denied.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

Plaintiffs have alleged and submitted fact and expert witness

testimony to multiple serious illegalities in the election which may be

summarized in pertinent part as follows:

1 For periods less than seven days, intervening weekends and legal holidays
are not counted. See O.C.G.A. § 1-3-1(c)(3)
2 See https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/02/politics/georgia-recount-results-brad-
raffensperger/index.html (Raffensperger on December 2, 2020 “expects to re-
certify President-elect Joe Biden as the winner.”)

5
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 6 of 53

1. Illegal tabulation of a significant volume of absentee ballots in


Fulton County out of public view in violation of O.C.G.A. § 21-2-
483(b). See Complaint, paras. 10-11, 116-119. Republican
observers were told to leave around 10:30 PM. Doc. 1-28 and 1-29.
This has recently been confirmed by surveillance video obtained
from State Farm Arena which clearly shows this activity, and
further shows that the same ballots were scanned over and over,
another clear election fraud. This video evidence will be filed with
the Court Monday December 7, 2020.

2. Eye-witness testimony from a poll manager with 20 years’


experience that stacks of utterly pristine mail-in ballots were
counted – impossible for any absentee ballot returned in the mail
(as they all are) because they have to be folded twice to fit in the
envelope. To the witness’ observation, 98% of these ballots were
voted for Vice President Biden. Complaint ¶ 75; Doc. 1-16
(Affidavit of Susan Voyles, ¶¶ 14-16, 27). This evidence is
supplemented by a declaration from another experienced observer
that he also observed pristine ballots during the recount which
were voted for Joe Biden. See Declaration of Wilburn J. Winter,
filed December 6, 2020.

3. Expert testimony that 20,311 non-residents voted illegally.


William. M. Briggs, Ph.D., a statistician, estimated based on
survey data rigorously collected by Matt Braynard and the Voting
Integrity Project, that 20,311 absentee or early voters voted in
Georgia despite having moved out of state – sufficient in itself to
put the outcome of the election in doubt. See Complaint ¶ 122(d);
Doc. 1-1 (Briggs Declaration and Report); Doc. 45-1 (Expert Report
of Matthew Braynard).

4. A massive number of unrequested absentee ballots were sent in


violation of the legislative scheme, estimated to a 95% confidence
interval to be between 16,938 and 22,771 ballots – sufficient in
itself to put the outcome of the election in doubt. Complaint ¶
122(b); Doc. 1-1 (Briggs Declaration and Report); Doc. 45-1 (Expert
Report of Matthew Braynard).

5. A massive number of absentee ballots that were returned by the


voters but never counted, estimated to a 95% confidence interval
to be between 31,559 to 38,886. Complaint ¶ 122(a); Doc 1-1,
Briggs Declaration; Doc. 45-1, Braynard Report.

6
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 7 of 53

6. A statistical analysis of Fulton County precinct voting results by


Eric Quinnell, Ph.D. identifies 32,347 votes in Fulton County alone
as statistically anomalous, and notes that in certain precincts
Biden gained more than 100% of the increase in new registrations
from the 2016 general election. Complaint ¶ 123; Doc. 1-27, ¶¶ 7-8.
A second declaration from Dr. Quinnell and S. Stanley Young,
Ph.D., a member of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science in the area of statistics, further analyzes Fulton County
absentee ballots and finds glaring statistical anomalies that are so
extreme as to be mathematically impossible to co-exist in the
absentee ballot data. See Doc. 45-2.

7. An analysis by Russell Ramsland of absentee ballot statistics


showing that 5,990 absentee ballots had impossibly short intervals
between the dates they were mailed out and the dates they were
returned, and that at least 96,000 absentee ballots were voted but
are not reflected as having been returned. Complaint ¶¶ 16 & 190;
Doc. 1-10, ¶¶ 15 (Ramsland Declaration).

8. The absentee ballot signature rejection rate announced by the


Secretary of State was .15%. Only 30 absentee ballot applications
were rejected statewide for signature mismatch, with nine in tiny
Hancock County, population 8,348, eight in Fulton County and
zero in any other metropolitan county. Under the faulty consent
decree, signatures could be matched (if there was any matching
done at all) with the applications alone – allowing unfettered
injection of bootstrapped signatures into the valid absentee ballot
pool. Plaintiffs allege that these facts represent the de facto
abolition of the statutory signature match requirement of O.C.G.A.
§ 21-2-386 in violation of state statute, the Elections and Electors
Clause, and the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses.

9. An analysis by Benjamin Overholt, filed at Doc. 45-3, calculates


that the signature rejection rate in Georgia for absentee ballots in
the 2020 election was .15%, and that the Secretary of State has
used inconsistent methodologies in calculating the 2016, 2018 and
2020 rejection rates to make the 2020 rejection rate seem better by
comparison. Overholt says the Secretary of State’s press release is
“misleading” and uses inconsistent methodologies and faulty
comparisons.

7
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 8 of 53

10. The Dominion voting system ballots marked by Ballot Marking


Devices are not voter-verifiable or auditable in a software-
independent way. Complaint ¶¶ 13, 110(a) Doc. 1-5, ¶ 7; Doc. 1-8
passim). This issue has been litigated and decided against the
State Defendants in Curling v. Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029
(N.D. Ga. 10/11/20), giving rise to issue preclusion against the
Defendants.

11. The electronic security of the Dominion system is so lax as to


present a “extreme security risk” of undetectable hacking, and
does not include properly auditable system logs. Complaint ¶ 8, ;
Doc. 1-4 (Hursti Declaration ¶¶ 37, 39, 45-48; Doc. 1-5, at p. 29, ¶
28). Judge Totenberg’s decision in Curling v. Raffensperger, 2020
WL 5994029 (N.D. Ga. 10/11/20) also gives rise to issue preclusion
on this problem.

12. The process of uploading data from memory cards to the Dominion
servers is fraught with serious bugs, frequently fails and is a
serious security risk. Doc. 1-4 (Hursti Declaration ¶¶ 41-46).

13. There has been no inventory control over USB sticks, which were
regularly taken back and forth from the Dominion server to the
Fulton County managers’ offices, another extreme security risk.
Id. at ¶ 47

14. “The security risks outlined above – operating system risks, the
failure to harden the computers, performing operations directly on
the operating systems, lax control of memory cards, lack of
procedures, and potential remote access, are extreme and destroy
the credibility of the tabulations and output of the reports coming
from a voting system.” Id. at ¶ 49.

15. The Spider Affidavit, Doc. 1-2, reports on cyber security testing
and analysis, penetration testing, and network connection tracing
and analysis with respect to Dominion Voting Systems servers and
networks. The Affiant is formerly of the 305th Military
Intelligence Battalion with substantial expertise and experience in
cyber security. In testing conducted November 8, 2020, he found
shocking vulnerabilities in the Dominion networks, with
unencrypted passwords, network connections to IP addresses in
Belgrade, Serbia, and reliable records of Dominion networks being
accessed from China. Doc. 1-2, ¶¶ 7-10. The Spider affidavit also

8
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 9 of 53

finds that Edison Research, an election reporting affiliate of


Dominion, has a directly connected Iranian server, which is in
turn tied to a server in the Netherlands which correlates to known
Iranian use of the Netherlands as a remote server. Id. at ¶¶ 10-11.
The Spider affidavit identifies a series of other Iranian and
Chinese connections into Dominion’s networks and systems. The
affidavit concludes in ¶ 21:

In my professional opinion, this affidavit presents


unambiguous evidence that Dominion Voter Systems
and Edison Research have been accessible and were
certainly compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran
and China. By using servers and employees connected
with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences
combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked
credentials, these organizations neglectfully allowed
foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally
provided access to their infrastructure in order to
monitor and manipulate elections, including the most
recent one in 2020. This represents a complete failure of
their duty to provide basic cyber security.

16. The Declaration of Russell Ramsland, Doc. 1-10, finds similar


shocking vulnerabilities in the Dominion networks and systems,
and confirms the findings of the Spider affidavit. He further shows
that malware on SCTYL’s servers can capture log in credentials
used in the Dominion networks. Id. at ¶¶ 4-5. Ramsland finds that
Dominion’s source code is available on the Dark Web, and that
Dominions election systems use unprotected logs, making
undetectable hacking by sophisticated hackers possible. Id. at 6-7.
This latter point confirms Judge Totenberg findings about the
vulnerabilities in the Dominion system in Curling v.
Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029 (N.D. Ga. 10/11/20).

17. In further analysis, Ramsland finds through sophisticated


mathematical techniques that there was a distinct political bias in
favor of Joe Biden and against Donald Trump in the results
reported from Dominion machines vs. those reported on other
systems. Id. at ¶¶ 8-10. Biden averaged 5% higher on Dominion
and Hart systems than on other systems. Id. Looking at counties
where Biden overperformed Ramsland’s predictive model, where
other machines were used Biden overperformed only 46% of the

9
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 10 of 53

time, indicating machine neutrality. However, in the


Dominion/Hart system counties, Biden overperformed the model
78% of the time, an anomalous or unnatural result to the 99.99%
confidence level. Id. at 10-12. This analysis was confirmed by
checking it by another machine learning method. Id. at ¶ 12. See
also ¶13 (“This indicates the fraud was widespread and
impacted vote counts in a systematic method across many
machines and counties.”) (Emphasis in original).

18. Ramsland reaches the same conclusion as the Spider affidavit, and
adds the following:

Based on the foregoing, we believe this presents


unambiguous evidence that using multiple statistical
tools and techniques to examine if the use of voting
machines manufactured by different companies affected
2020 US election results, we found the use of the
Dominion X/ICE BMD (Ballot Marking Device)
machine, manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems,
and machines from Hart InterCivic, appear to have
abnormally influenced election results and
fraudulently and erroneously attributed from
13,725 to 136,908 votes to Biden in Georgia.
(Emphasis in original).

19. Dominion’s Chief Technical Officer, strategy director, and co-


inventor on several patents assigned to Dominion, and primary
defense expert witness in Curling v. Raffensperger, and holder of
multiple patents on Dominion’s software, is a member of Antifa, a
violent revolutionary communist group, responsible for months of
mayhem in Portland, Oregon, and violent rioting all over the
United States. Dr. Coomer is consumed with an intense loathing
and frothing psychotic rage towards Donald Trump and all of his
supporters. Dr. Coomer said in an Antifa conference call “Don’t
worry. Trump won’t win the election, we fixed that.” Complaint ¶
120. Dr. Coomer thus had motive, means and opportunity to rig
the election through the Dominion software and openly declared
he had done so.

It is claimed by the Defendants that the hand audit precludes the

possibility of electronic election fraud. Not only is this not true, the State

10
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 11 of 53

Defendants are collaterally estopped from making this argument because it

has been decided against them by Judge Totenberg in Curling v.

Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029 (N.D. Ga. 10/11/20). As Judge Totenberg

held:

Georgia’s Election Code mandates the use of the BMD system


as the uniform mode of voting for all in-person voters in federal and
statewide elections. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-300(a)(2). The statutory
provisions mandate voting on “electronic ballot markers” that: (1)
use “electronic technology to independently and privately mark a
paper ballot at the direction of an elector, interpret ballot selections,
communicate such interpretation for elector verification, and print
an elector verifiable paper ballot;” and (2) “produce paper ballots
which are marked with the elector’s choices in a format readable by
the elector” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-2(7.1); O.C.G.A. § 21-2-300(a)(2).

Plaintiffs and other voters who wish to vote in-person are


required to vote on a system that does none of those things.
Rather, the evidence shows that the Dominion BMD system does
not produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot or a paper ballot
marked with the voter’s choices in a format readable by the
voter because the votes are tabulated solely from the
unreadable QR code. Thus, under Georgia’s mandatory voting
system for “voting at the polls” voters must cast a BMD-generated
ballot tabulated using a computer generated barcode that has the
potential to contain information regarding their voter choices that
does not match what they enter on the BMD (as reflected in the
written text summary), or could cause a precinct scanner to
improperly tabulate their votes.

Id. at 34-35 (emphasis added). These properties render the election

unauditable by hand recount. Plaintiffs’ evidence, and the evidence reviewed

at length by Judge Totenberg, shows that BMD ballots are not auditable in

any software-independent way. See e.g. Doc. 1-8, passim. Claims to the

11
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 12 of 53

contrary rest on a fallacious assumption that the veracity vel non of the BMD

ballots is independent of the BMDs themselves – a classic case of circular

reasoning.

In the face of all this evidence from the Complaint and before the

Court, Defendants travel under the 12(b)(6) standard of review that requires

the Court to assume all of the foregoing is true. They then argue there is

“nothing to see here” and that we should all just move along. That argument

is utterly without merit and should be rejected.

ARGUMENT AND CITATION OF AUTHORITY

I. PLAINTIFFS AS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS AND A


POLITICAL PARTY ORGANIZATION HAVE STANDING

1. DEFENDANTS’ STANDING ARGUMENTS

The Defendants first contend that Plaintiffs do not have standing.

However, Plaintiffs Correco Ja’Quan Pearson, Vikki Townsend Consiglio,

Gloria Kay Godwin, James Kenneth Carroll, Carolyn Hall Fisher, and

Cathleen Alston Latham are all nominated Republican Presidential Electors

for the State of Georgia. As such, in legal contemplation they are candidates

in the election under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-10, which provides:

At the November election to be held in the year 1964 and every


fourth year thereafter, there shall be elected by the electors of this
state persons to be known as electors of President and Vice
President of the United States and referred to in this chapter as
presidential electors, equal in number to the whole number of
senators and representatives to which this state may be entitled in
the Congress of the United States.

12
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 13 of 53

Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 21-2-11, the duties of presidential electors are

as follows:

The presidential electors chosen pursuant to Code Section 21-2-10


shall assemble at the seat of government of this state at 12:00 Noon
of the day which is, or may be, directed by the Congress of the
United States and shall then and there perform the duties required
of them by the Constitution and laws of the United States.

The standing of presidential electors to challenge fraud, illegality and

unconstitutional political discrimination in a presidential election stands, as

it were, on a different footing than that of an ordinary citizen elector. They

are candidates, not voters. Theirs is not a generalized grievance, it is a

particularized grievance. The election was not stolen from their preferred

candidate, it was stolen from them individually and particularly. There are

only 16 Republican Presidential electors in the whole state – six of them are

plaintiffs in this case – versus 7,233,584 registered voters in Georgia.3

The Eighth Circuit case of Carson v. Simon, 978 F.3d 1051 (8th Cir.

2020) is directly on point and highly persuasive, leading the Defendants to

deride it as an outlier. In fact, the reasoning of Carson is directly analogous.

Carson reviewed Minnesota law, including Minn. Stat. § 208.03, which

provides that a vote for a presidential and vice-presidential candidate “shall

be deemed to be a vote for that party’s electors.” Carson then concluded

3 See https://sos.ga.gov/index.php/Elections/voter_registration_statistics, last


visited November 5, 2020.

13
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 14 of 53

“Because Minnesota law plainly treats presidential electors as candidates, we

do, too.” Id. at 1057. Georgia law similarly treats presidential electors as

candidates, and has a statute nearly identical to Minn. Stat. § 208.03,

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-480(g), which provides that “[a] vote for the candidates for

President and Vice President of a political party or body shall be deemed to

be a vote for each of the candidates for presidential electors of such political

party or body.”

As the court in Carson explained, this drove its conclusion that

presidential electors have standing:

As candidates, the Electors argue that they have a cognizable


interest in ensuring that the final vote tally accurately reflects the
legally valid votes cast. An inaccurate vote tally is a concrete and
particularized injury to candidates such as the Electors. The
Secretary's use of the consent decree makes the Electors' injury
certainly-impending, because the former necessarily departs from
the Legislature's mandates. Thus, the Electors meet the injury-in-
fact requirement.”

Id. at 1058.

The causal-connection test is satisfied because the injury – an

inaccurate vote tally – flows from the fraud, illegality and unconstitutionality

in the conduct of the election as alleged in the Complaint.

The redressability test is satisfied because decertification of the

election results, and/or certification of the Trump Electors, or prohibition of

14
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 15 of 53

the Biden Electors from voting in the Electoral College would redress the

injury. See id.

Prudential standing is also satisfied because “[a] significant departure

from the legislative scheme for appointing Presidential electors presents a

federal constitutional question.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 112, 121 S.Ct.

525, 533-534 (2000) (Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas concurring).

As the Eighth Circuit concluded, “[f]or these reasons, we conclude the

Electors have Article III standing as candidates.” Id. So should this Court.

The Defendants rely principally on Bognet v Sec’y of Commonwealth,

No. 20-2314, 2020 WL 6686120 (3rd Cir. Nov. 13, 2020), where the court

found that electors lacked standing based on the particularities of a

Pennsylvania law that are not present here. In particular, the Bognet court

did not discuss the significance of State law provisions pursuant to which

Presidential Electors are candidates for office – the linchpin of the Carson

decision. Moreover, none of the plaintiffs in Bognet were Presidential

Electors.

Plaintiff Jason M. Shepherd is the Chairman of the Cobb County

Republican Party and sues in his official capacity on its behalf.4 All of the

4Mr. Shepherd’s status as a plaintiff is alleged in paragraph 29 of the


Complaint. He was not included in the caption due to inadvertence.

15
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 16 of 53

authorities cited by the Intervenors to support their right to intervene in this

case support this Plaintiff’s standing.

Plaintiffs’ allege, first, and with great particularity, that Defendants

have violated the Georgia Election Code to dilute the votes of Georgia’s

Republican voters (or voters for Republican candidates) with illegal,

ineligible, duplicate or fictitious ballots that Defendants, in collaboration

with public employees, Dominion and Democratic poll watchers and activists,

have caused to be counted as votes for Democratic candidates. The fact and

expert witness testimony describes and quantifies the myriad means by

which Defendants and their collaborators illegally inflated the vote tally for

Biden, including: double counting of the same vote, non-resident voters,

impossible sent and received dates on absentee ballots, failure to match

signatures, etc., etc. Thus, the vote dilution resulting from this systemic and

illegal conduct did not affect all Georgia presidential electors or political

parties equally; it had the intent and effect of inflating the number of votes

for Biden and reducing the number of votes for Trump.

Further, Plaintiffs have presented evidence that Defendants

disenfranchised Republican and Trump voters to reduce their voting power,

in clear violation of “one person, one vote.” See generally Baker v. Carr, 369

U.S. 186 (1962); Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964). Defendants engaged

in several schemes to devalue Republican votes as detailed in the Complaint,

16
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 17 of 53

including absentee ballots being returned but not counted, or “1 person, 0

votes,” and Dominion algorithmic manipulation, or for Republicans, “1

person, 1/2 votes,” and for Democrats, “1 person, 1.5 votes.” See e.g., Doc.

1-1 (Dr. Briggs Testimony regarding ballots not requested but sent, ballots

returned but not counted), Doc. 1-10 (Ramsland testimony regarding additive

algorithm), ¶¶ 116-119 (allegations of illegal tabulation at State Farm Arena,

validated by video surveillance obtained December 2, 2020).

Plaintiffs’ injury is that the relative values of their particular votes,

and those of similarly situated voters for Republican candidates were

devalued or disregarded, rather than a “generalized grievance” “no different

than the interests of all Georgia voters as Defendants claim. Doc. 63-1 at 19.

,”Federal courts in Georgia and the Eleventh Circuit have long recognized

that “plaintiffs have standing to bring Due Process and Equal Protection

claims where they allege that their votes would likely be improperly

counted,” as they were here. Curling v. Kemp, 334 F.Supp.3d 1303, 1316

(N.D. Ga. 2018) (citing Stewart v. Blackwell, 444 F.3d 843, 855 (6th Cir. 2006)

(finding voter plaintiffs had standing and substantial likelihood of success on

equal protection and due process claims challenging use of voting machines

likely to debase or devalue their votes).

2. STATE DEFENDANTS’ STANDING ARGUMENTS

What has already been said covers much of the State Defendants’

standing arguments, except for one, after which we address their traceability

and redressability arguments here.

The State Defendants rely on Wood v. Raffensperger, 2020 WL 7094866

(11th Cir. Case No. 201-14418 Dec. 5, 2020) for their argument that Plaintiffs

here present only non-justiciable generalized grievances. While Wood applies

this rule to Wood as a citizen elector, it expressly notes that if he had been a

candidate – like the presidential elector plaintiffs in this case – he would

have had standing:

Wood asserts only a generalized grievance. A particularized injury


is one that “affect[s] the plaintiff in a personal and individual
way.” Spokeo, 136 S. Ct. at 1548 (internal quotation marks
omitted). For example, if Wood were a political candidate harmed
by the recount, he would satisfy this requirement because he could
assert a personal, distinct injury. Cf. Roe v. Alabama ex rel. Evans,
43 F.3d 574, 579 (11th Cir. 1995)

Id.

As for traceability and redressability, according to the State

Defendants, they are mere bystanders to the election just conducted, having

virtually nothing to do with any of the fraud and irregularity alleged by the

Plaintiffs. The State Defendants’ role is not so limited. Plaintiffs seek the

remedy of de-certification (unlike Wood who sought only to delay certification

in the district court proceedings) and an injunction against the State

18
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 19 of 53

Defendants’ empowering and empaneling the Biden Electors to vote in the

Electoral College on December 14, 2020. These remedies go directly to the

statutory role of the Governor and Secretary of State in a presidential

election under Georgia law.

With respect to certification, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-493(i) provides that

election superintendents are not permitted to certify election results they

know or have reason to know include fraudulent, illegal or erroneous results:

“If any error or fraud is discovered, the superintendent shall

compute and certify the votes justly, regardless of any fraudulent or

erroneous returns presented to him or her, and shall report the facts to

the appropriate district attorney for action.” (Emphasis added).

Similarly, as particularly applicable to the Secretary of State as the

chief elections officer in Georgia, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-499 provides that

[i]n the event an error is found in the certified returns


presented to the Secretary of State or in the tabulation,
computation, or canvassing of votes as described in this Code
section, the Secretary of State shall notify the county
submitting the incorrect returns and direct the county to
correct and recertify such returns.” (Emphasis added).

The pretense that the officials made responsible by O.C.G.A. § 21-2-31

for ensuring the legality and purity of Georgia elections are powerless to do

the very job they are authorized and commanded to do is preposterous.

19
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 20 of 53

The State Defendants, after this lawsuit was filed, have re-certified the

election following a machine recount despite the evidence presented in this

case and in the public square. The injury caused by certification of results

marred by fraud, illegality and error in an amount sufficient to put the

outcome of the election in doubt is directly traceable to the actions of the

State Defendants under controlling provisions of the Georgia Election Code.

It is also redressable by the remedies prayed against the State Defendants.

They cannot pretend they are blameless for the problems or helpless to

correct them. They picked the Dominion system. Their polices lead to the de

facto abolition of the signature match requirement. Their regulation to

permit early processing of absentee ballots is unlawful and unconstitutional.

Their Settlement Agreement breached the citadel for absentee ballots and is

unlawful and unconstitutional. The claims against the State Defendants

satisfy all elements of standing and justiciability.

II. THE COURT HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION


OVER COUNT V.

The Intervenor Defendants devote two sentences in a single paragraph

to the top-level heading argument that the Court lacks subject matter

jurisdiction over the state law election contest claim in Count V, relying on

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-523(a) which states that an election contest under the

relevant article of the Election Code shall be tried and determined in the

20
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 21 of 53

superior court of the county where the defendant resides. That is the extent

of their argument.

But, as noted elsewhere in this brief, we are dealing here with a

departure from the legislative scheme for appointing presidential electors.

20,188 non-residents were allowed to vote, in violation of the Georgia

Election Code. The signature match requirement for absentee ballot

applications was de facto abolished and applied in a highly unequal fashion

between counties, in violation of the Equal Protection clause. The signature

rejection rate for absentee ballots themselves was only .15%. Either nearly all

Georgia voters have perfect penmanship, or the statutory requirement was

effectively abolished. Ballots were tabulated after hours and out of public

view, in violation of the Georgia Election Code. Ballots were scanned over

and over again in violation of the Georgia Election Code. “A significant

departure from the legislative scheme for appointing Presidential electors

presents a federal constitutional question.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 112

(2000). Therefore, Count V of the Complaint presents not just a state law

question, but a federal constitutional question as well, over which the Court

has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (federal question), 28

U.S.C. § 1343 (Presidential election) and 28 U.S.C. §1367 (supplemental

jurisdiction for state law and constitutional claims).

21
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 22 of 53

III. LACHES DOES NOT BAR CLAIMS FOR DE-


CERTIFICATION BASED ON ELECTION FRAUD AND
ILLEGALITY ASSERTED THREE BUSINESS DAYS AFTER
CERTIFICATION AND BEFORE POST-RECOUNT
CERTIFICATION.

Defendant Intervenors assert that Plaintiffs claims are barred by

laches.

Laches is “a defense developed by courts of equity” to protect


defendants against “unreasonable, prejudicial delay in commencing
suit.” Petrella, supra, at ___, ___ (slip op., at 1, 12). See also 1 D.
Dobbs, Law of Remedies §2.3(5), p. 89 (2d ed. 1993) (Dobbs) (“The
equitable doctrine of laches bars the plaintiff whose unreasonable
delay in prosecuting a claim or protecting a right has worked a
prejudice to the defendant”).

SCA Hygiene Prod. Aktiebolag v. First Quality Baby Prod., LLC, 137 S. Ct.

954, 960 (2017).

Here there is no unreasonable delay in asserting Plaintiffs’ rights and

no resulting prejudice to the defending parties. Plaintiffs could not file a

lawsuit claiming the election was stolen by fraud and illegality, fraudulent

ballots, non-resident voting, unrequested absentee ballots, absentee ballots

returned but not counted, politically discriminatory counting, illegal

tabulation, scanning the same ballots multiple times, and apparent

fraudulent electronic manipulation of votes until the election actually was

stolen through those means.

The de facto abolition of the signature match requirement, and the

State Defendants’ failure to enforce the requirement and the other massive

22
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 23 of 53

irregularities surrounding absentee ballots did not happen until the election

occurred. The appalling failure to protect this election against massive fraud

through absentee ballots did not happen until Defendants caused or let it

happen.

The claims of prejudice to the Defendants and to lawful voters who cast

their legal votes in the election presume the point in controversy – whether

the election was lawful or fraudulent. No Defendant, no candidate, no

intervenor, no political party and no citizen can claim a legally protectible

interest in a fraudulent election result. In legal contemplation, there can be

no prejudice to anyone from invaliding such an election. Defendants would

have us believe there is no cognizable legal, equitable or constitutional

remedy for an election that has been won through fraudulent means. This

notion is obnoxious to history, law, equity, the Constitution and common

sense. Elections are regularly invalidated for fraud and illegality. There is no

reason this one cannot also be invalidated if the evidence is sufficient to

support that remedy.

The election was certified on November 20, 2020. Plaintiffs filed their

Complaint on November 25, three business days later, and well within the

state law limitations period for election contests of five days. See O.C.G.A. §

21-2-524(a). Plaintiffs seek de-certification. De-certification presumes prior

certification. The claim was not ripe until then. Moreover, much of the

23
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 24 of 53

misconduct identified in the Complaint was not apparent on Election Day, as

the evidence of voting irregularities was not discovered until weeks after the

election and through very careful expert analysis. Finally, as noted, the

election was re-certified after this lawsuit was filed.

Finally, the election was re-certified after the recount after this case

was filed.5 Laches cannot reach backward in time to bar a case filed before

one of the events complained of

Under the heading of laches, the Defendants also argue that Plaintiffs

claims must be barred because the requested relief would “erode the public’s

confidence in the electoral process” citing Wood v. Raffensperger, No. 1:20-cv-

04561, ECF No. 54 at 22 (N.D. Ga. Nov. 20, 2020). That ship has sailed.

Millions of people have seen the surveillance video from State Farm Arena

showing two hours of illegal tabulation not in public view – after the press

and partisan observers were unlawfully told to leave. Millions of people have

seen election workers on this video scanning the same ballots over and over

again. Millions of people who have seen this flagrant, large-scale, systematic,

intentional and knowing election fraud by workers in the Fulton County

Board of Registrations and Elections are utterly shocked and disgusted.

There is no confidence left to preserve. Instead, it must be restored by

5 See n. 2 above.

24
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 25 of 53

invalidating a fraudulent result and allowing the electors to be chosen by the

Legislature under the plenary power granted them for this purpose by the

Elections and Electors Clause. U.S. Const. Art. II, § 1, cl. 2. Ramming a

fraudulent election result down the throats of the American people in the

name of preserving confidence in the electoral process would be one of the

most ridiculous and provocative acts of betrayal in our long and tumultuous

history.

IV. PLAINTIFFS HAVE STATED CLAIMS FOR RELIEF

1. T H E 12(b)(6) S T A N D A R D .

Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2) requires that a pleading contain “a short and plain

statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief” in order

to “give the defendant fair notice of what the ... claim is and the grounds upon

which it rests.” In order to survive a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff must

articulate “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.”

Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d

929 (2007). “A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual

content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the

defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S.

662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009). While it is true that a pleading

that merely offers “labels and conclusions” or “a formulaic recitation of the

elements of a cause of action” may subject to dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6),

25
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 26 of 53

the “facial plausibility” standard does not give rise to a “probability

requirement” at the pleading stage. Twombly at 556. The standard merely

“calls for enough facts to raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will

reveal evidence” of the claim. Id. In doing so, the Court must accept all of the

plaintiff's allegations as true, construing them in the light most favorable to

the plaintiff. Pielage v. McConnell, 516 F.3d 1282, 1284 (11th Cir.2008).

Twombly suggests that the Court adopt a “two-pronged approach” in

applying these principles: 1) eliminate any allegations in the complaint that

are merely legal conclusions; and 2) where there are well-pleaded factual

allegations, “assume their veracity and then determine whether they

plausibly give rise to an entitlement to relief.” Under Twombly and Iqbal,

courts may infer from the factual allegations in the complaint “obvious

alternative explanation[s],” which suggest lawful conduct rather than the

unlawful conduct the plaintiff would ask the court to infer.

Defendant Intervenors argue the Court should apply Rule 9(b) to this

election case and require that the alleged fraud be plead with particularity.

This rule has no application to the context of election fraud or illegality

because of the problems of proof in such cases arising from a constitutional

guarantee of a private ballot. In election contests, it is only necessary to show

enough fraud or illegality or irregularity to put the outcome in doubt – one

does not have to be prove conclusively what the outcome would have been but

26
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 27 of 53

for the fraud. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-522. Therefore, pleading standards applicable

to common law fraud claims, which always involve a claim of but for

causation of actual damages, should not be applied to election disputes. In an

election contest it is not necessary to show how the illegal ballots were voted

because once ballots have been introduced into the pool that will be counted,

it is normally not possible to identify which were illegally cast or counted.

Recognizing this reality, the Georgia Supreme Court has held,

The fallacy in the trial court's analysis is demonstrated by the


impossibility of determining how the 481 electors would have voted
had they been supplied with proper ballots. … It is precisely for this
reason that we have held that the focus in an election contest
involving illegal ballots is on whether they “exceeded ... the margin
of victory.” Howell v. Fears, supra at 628, 571 S.E.2d 392. Thus,

[i]t was not incumbent upon [Plaintiff] to show how the []


voters would have voted if their [absentee] ballots had been
regular. [Plaintiff] only had to show that there were enough
irregular ballots to place in doubt the result.

Mead v. Sheffield, 278 Ga. 268, 272, 601 S.E.2d 99, 102 (2004) (citing Howell

v. Fears, 275 Ga. 627, 571 S.E.2d 392 (2002). See also Miller v. Picacho

Elementary Sch. Dist. No. 33, 179 Ariz. 178, 180, 877 P.2d 277, 279, (S.

Ct.1994) (“We therefore hold that a showing of fraud is not a necessary

condition to invalidate absentee balloting. It is sufficient that an express non-

technical statute was violated, and ballots cast in violation of the statute

affected the election.”)

27
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 28 of 53

Moreover, even if Rule 9(b) were applicable, the Complaint as

summarized above particularizes the precise fraudulent conduct alleged here.

2. ALLOCATION OF THE BURDEN OF PROOF WITH


RESPECT TO ELECTRONIC ELECTION FRAUD.

The difficulties of proof just discussed warrant further consideration.

Forensic examination of the black boxes inside which the election

software operates is necessary to even approximately obtain direct evidence

of electronic fraud in elections. Even that may be impractical or impossible

due to the lack of protected audit and system logs inside the in Curling v.

Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029 (N.D. Ga. 10/11/20) and due to the

compressed time frame for resolving the controversy. A practical and

appropriate method of allocating the burden and order of proof of electronic

election fraud should be developed and applied.

The Supreme Court has laid down the mechanics for allocating the

burden of proof in analyzing discriminatory-treatment cases where the

evidence will depend on circumstantial or statistical evidence, as is the case

here. In McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973), the Supreme

Court laid out a three-step analysis. First, plaintiffs must make out a prima

facie case of the discrimination, see id. at 802, just as the Plaintiffs here have

demonstrated harm by the statistical analysis of the results. Second, the

burden shifts to the defendant to articulate a legitimate reason for the

28
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 29 of 53

challenged action – there is none here. See id. at 802-03. Finally, the plaintiff

must establish that the reason articulated is mere pretext and that

discrimination occurred. See McDonnell Douglas, 411 U.S. at 803.6 Plaintiffs

have already provided evidence of that discrimination – it is now time to look

at the software and how it was used.

Plaintiffs have discharged the burden of the first step by pleading and

proving a prima facie case showing in their Complaint that (1) Dominion

vote-collection-aggregation-tabulation software was employed on November 3

in Georgia; and (2) the specific software so employed included at relevant

times a capability of collecting, aggregating, and/or tabulating votes in

discriminatory fashion. See Doc. 1-10 (Ramsland Affidavit). Competent

evidence establishes unmistakably that this software was both fraud-enabled

and audit-disabled. The prima facie showing in this case could hardly be

more persuasive.

6 Courts have readily adapted the framework set forth in McDonnell Douglas
in other cases where discrimination claims are “based principally on
circumstantial evidence.” Reeves, 530 U.S. at 141. Although originally decided
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, courts have deployed
McDonnell Douglas adaptations when analyzing other constitutional and
statutory claims based on Sperino, BEYOND MCDONNELL DOUGLAS, U. Cinn.
(2013) (McDonnell Douglas structure used in cases under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (‘ADA’"),” “Age Discrimination in Employment Act (‘ADEA’),”
and “discrimination cases brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. sections 1983 and
1981,” and “various state antidiscrimination statutes.”). It makes sense to
consider this as a useful paradigm to determine whether there is
discrimination against one group of voters over another.

29
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 30 of 53

Further, there has been no adequate rejoinder to this compelling prima

facie showing. Given the foundational constitutional importance of the right

to vote, Defendants bear the burden of presenting, in response to a prima

facie demonstration of electronic electoral discrimination, conclusive evidence

that negates the risk that the software was used in a discriminatory fashion.

Algorithms that discriminate based on political preference or affiliation

are never permissible. Vote collection-aggregation-tabulation software,

especially when applied in multiple locations in a multi-precinct election,

poses a new challenge in analyzing discrimination, but the same judicial

analysis should apply. Further, just as discrimination in other contexts,

software engineered to produce disparate treatment of different voters will

also be engineered to cover its own tracks and will be deployed by politicians

only where the software’s role will be difficult to show after the fact,

particularly in the short window for mounting electoral challenges.7

Although conclusive evidence of actual discrimination perpetrated

through voting software may well be available in some instances, just as

7 A further consideration concerns synchronization of electoral decisions. The


timing of determinations of electoral outcomes, unlike outcomes in making
multiple employment decisions, is an issue of great practical moment and
independent constitutional significance. See, e.g., U.S. Const Amend XX. One
cannot un-ring bells, unscramble omelets, get second chances at first
impressions, or re-run the same election after an extended adjudication
contesting the vote-counting algorithms employed in the first instance.

30
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 31 of 53

direct statements of discriminatory intentions are sometimes available, in the

more usual case direct, timely, and comprehensible evidence of the precise

operation and effects of fraud-enabled election software may be hard to come

by, especially where time is short and political tempers run hot.

There can be no legitimate reason—none whatever—for vote-collection-

aggregation-tabulation software to include the capability or potential for

discriminating on a basis of political preference or affiliation, or for covering

up the potential for such disparate treatment. Accordingly, in adapting

McDonnell Douglas to electronic electoral frauds, the second and third steps

of this paradigm should be combined, thus streamlining its application to

these cases of alleged political discrimination. While one can argue that

software algorithms may be appropriate in employment decisions, or even in

cases involving political drawing of voting districts, employing fraud-enabled

software that opens the door to invidious political discrimination is quite a

different matter.

As with any fraud, there was ample motive, opportunity, and capability

to use the software as it was designed to change the outcome of the

tabulation, and scant evidence has been presented to show that it was not

used in that way. Defendants have made no arguments as to why the

software employed the features it contained, and no evidence that its

capabilities were not used in this election. Given the foundational

31
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 32 of 53

constitutional importance of the right to vote, the standard for upholding the

use of fraud-enabled or audit-disabled software must be demanding, and

Defendants have not satisfied their burden in rebutting the allegations and

the evidence presented. Mere certification of the software and Logic and

Accuracy testing are inadequate, as Judge Totenberg found in Curling v.

Raffensperger.

Judge Posner remarks that “one of the most persistent fallacies” in

commentary on Bush v. Gore and the 2000 election is “the notion that the

winner of an election can be determined without reference to election rules.”

Posner, Breaking the Deadlock, at 2. Once use of fraud-enabling and/or audit-

disabling software has been established, Defendants should bear the burden

of showing that such software did not affect the outcome that would be

generated by the election rules but for the presence of the software.

Otherwise, the only resort is invalidation of the compromised election.

3. PLAINTIFFS’ CLAIMS ARE PLAUSIBLE.

Turning to the plausibility inquiry, the Defendants contend that the

Plaintiffs’ claims are “simply not plausible.”

All Defendants contend that the hand audit necessarily precludes there

having been anything amiss in the Dominion software. The premise of this

argument is that the paper ballots printed by the Dominion Ballot Marking

Devices are auditable in a software-independent independent manner. Not

32
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 33 of 53

only is this not true, the State Defendants are collaterally estopped from

making this argument, for it has been decided against them by Judge

Totenberg in Curling v. Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029 (N.D. Ga. 10/11/20).

Reviewing the evidence, Judge Totenberg explained why the Dominion BMD

ballots are not auditable in a software independent way:

A voting system is strongly software independent “if an


undetected change or error in its software cannot cause an
undetectable change or error in an election outcome, and moreover,
a detected change or error in an election outcome (due to change or
error in the software) can be corrected without re-running the
election.” (Stark Suppl. Decl., Doc. 640-1 at 42 ¶ 10.) “Systems
based on optically scanning hand-marked paper ballots (with
reliable chain of custody of the ballots) are strongly software
independent, because inspecting the hand-marked ballots allows an
auditor to determine whether malfunctions altered the outcome,
and a full manual tabulation from the paper ballots can determine
who really won, without having to re-run the election.” (Id.)
Therefore, a risk-limiting audit of an election conducted using hand-
marked paper ballots “can guarantee a large chance of correcting
the outcome if the outcome is wrong.” (Id.)

Dr. Stark’s affidavits and hearing testimony address


the impossibility of conducting a reliable audit of ballots
and voting totals derived from QR codes for purposes of
verifying the accuracy or integrity of election results or
processes. In Dr. Stark’s view, the risk-limiting audit methodology
cannot be properly utilized to assess the accuracy of
election results in the context of a BMD system where
ballots are tabulated based on a humanly non-readable QR
code that is not voter verifiable and where the computer
voting system is vulnerable to data hacking or manipulation
that can alter votes cast in untraceable ways – including in
the votes actually shown on the ballots that are audited.

Id. at 28 (emphasis added). See also Doc. 1-8, (academic article presenting

33
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 34 of 53

behavioral research that Dominion’s BMD ballots are not actually verified by

voters and showing they are not auditable independent of the software). This

finding is crucially significant because the evidence is overwhelming that

Dominion’s systems, including BMDs, are easily hacked and can rig the votes

printed in the QR codes, which are not human-readable and which contain

the actual vote read by the scanners. Summing up, Judge Totenberg ruled

that “Absent such an injunction [prohibiting the use of BMDs], there is no

audit remedy that can confirm the reliability and accuracy of the

BMD system, as Dr. Stark has stressed.” Id. at 33 (emphasis added).

Plaintiffs easily meet the pleading stage plausibility analysis because

their claims are copiously supported with eye-witness and expert testimony.

This is more than enough to surpass the 12(b)(6) standard under Twombly

and Iqbal.

4. PLAINTIFFS HAVE PLEADED A CLAIM UNDER THE


ELECTIONS AND ELECTORS CLAUSE.

Plaintiffs have alleged the following violations of the Elections and

Electors Clause:

1. Secretary of State Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15, permitting absentee ballots to


be opened up to three weeks before election day, is directly and
irreconcilably contrary to O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(2).

2. The Settlement Agreement is facially unconstitutional because it varies


from the specified statutory procedures for handling and adjudicating
absentee ballots.

34
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 35 of 53

3. The de facto abolition of the signature match requirement in violation


of O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386.

Defendants contend none of this matters and cannot be remedied in any

event so the Complaint should be dismissed. To the contrary, “A significant

departure from the legislative scheme for appointing Presidential electors

presents a federal constitutional question.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 112,

(2000). The Elections and Electors clause effectively federalizes and

constitutionalizes state election codes for the selection of presidential

electors. When those procedures are substantially altered by means other

than a duly enacted statute as they have been in Georgia, the Constitution is

violated. This is the teaching of McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1 (1892) and

Bush v. Gore.

In Georgia, changes to the absentee balloting procedures have opened

an 8-lane superhighway for fraudulent ballots, which the supporters of Biden

have fully exploited. Plaintiffs have stated a claim for violation of the

Elections and Electors Clause.

5. PLAINTIFFS HAVE PLEADED AN EQUAL PROTECTION


VIOLATION

Defendants also absurdly contend that plaintiffs have failed to state a

claim that the Equal Protection clause was violated. There is an Equal

Protection violation in the dilution of votes for Trump by the injection of tens

of thousands of illegal ballots for Biden. There is an Equal Protection

35
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 36 of 53

violation in the use of Dominion equipment that confers a politically

discriminatory 5% advantage to Biden as compared to other election systems.

There is an Equal Protection violation in the de facto abolition of the

signature match requirement for absentee ballots as compared to in person

voting in which voters have to provide proof of their identity. The receipt and

counting of more than one million absentee ballots for which there was no

effective signature match violates the Georgia Election Code and the Electors

and Elections Clause and subjects absentee voters and in person voters to

disparate treatment. Counting 20,188 votes from non-residents

unconstitutionally dilutes the votes of legal residents. The Equal Protection

violations in this case are plain and obvious under a large body of “one person

one vote” case law from Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186 (1962), Reynolds v. Sims,

377 U.S. 533 (1964) and Bush v. Gore.

In Equal Protection cases, it has been made clear that

[o]ur treatment of anecdotal evidence in Cone Corp. and Ensley


Branch is consistent with the formulation in Justice
O'Connor's Croson plurality opinion that ‘evidence of a pattern of
individual discriminatory acts can, if supported by appropriate
statistical proof, lend support to a local government's determination
that broader remedial relief is justified,’ 488 U.S. at 509, (citation
omitted) (emphasis added). In light of Croson 's guidance on the
point, and our decisions in Cone Corp. and Ensley Branch, we
believe that anecdotal evidence can play an important role in
bolstering statistical evidence, but that only in the rare case will
anecdotal evidence suffice standing alone.

Engineering Contrs. Ass'n v. Metropolitan Dade County, 122 F.3d 895, 925

36
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 37 of 53

(11th Cir. 1997) (citing Richmond v. J. A. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469, 509,

(1989). “Moreover, evidence of a pattern of individual discriminatory acts can,

if supported by appropriate statistical proof, lend support to a local

government's determination that broader remedial relief is justified.” Id.

Plaintiffs have offered such statitistical evidence.

6. PLAINTIFFS HAVE PLEADED A DUE PROCESS


VIOLATION

Similarly, the Complaint states a claim for violation of the Due Process

clause. The Settlement Agreement and Rule 183-1-14-0.9-.15 were adopted in

violation of the Georgia Election Code and the Elections and Electors clause,

depriving Plaintiffs of their rights thereunder without Due Process. The

fundamental right to vote protected by the Fourteenth Amendment is

cherished in our nation because it “is preservative of other basic civil and

political rights.” Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 562. Voters have a “right to cast a

ballot in an election free from the taint of intimidation and fraud,” Burson v.

Freeman, 504 U.S. 191, 211 (1992), and “[c]onfidence in the integrity of our

electoral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory

democracy.” Purcell v. Gonzalez, 549 U.S. 1, 4 (2006) (per curiam).

“Obviously included within the right to [vote], secured by the

Constitution, is the right of qualified voters within a state to cast their ballots

and have them counted” if they are validly cast. United States v. Classic, 313

37
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 38 of 53

U.S. 299, 315 (1941). “[T]he right to have the vote counted” means counted

“at full value without dilution or discount.” Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 555, n.29

(quoting South v. Peters, 339 U.S. 276, 279 (1950) (Douglas, J., dissenting)).

“Every voter in a federal . . . election, whether he votes for a candidate

with little chance of winning or for one with little chance of losing, has a right

under the Constitution to have his vote fairly counted, without its being

distorted by fraudulently cast votes.” Anderson v. United States, 417 U.S.

211, 227 (1974); see also Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 208 (1962). Invalid or

fraudulent votes “debase[]” and “dilute” the weight of each validly cast vote.

See Anderson, 417 U.S. at 227.

The right to an honest [count] is a right possessed by each voting

elector, and to the extent that the importance of his vote is nullified, wholly

or in part, he has been injured in the free exercise of a right or privilege

secured to him by the laws and Constitution of the United States.” Anderson,

417 U.S. at 226 (quoting Prichard v. United States, 181 F.2d 326, 331 (6th

Cir.), aff'd due to absence of quorum, 339 U.S. 974 (1950)).

Practices that promote the casting of illegal or unreliable ballots or that

fail to contain basic minimum guarantees against such conduct can violate

the Fourteenth Amendment by leading to the dilution of validly cast ballots.

See Reynolds, 377 U.S. at 555 (“[T]he right of suffrage can be denied by a

38
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 39 of 53

debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote just as effectively as

by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise.”).

The argument that Plaintiffs have not stated a Due Process claim is

without merit and should be rejected.

V. THE PLAINTIFFS’ CLAIMS ARE RIPE AND NOT MOOT.

The State Defendants’ mootness argument is based on the false

premise that this Court cannot order any of the relief requested in the

Complaint or the TRO Motion. As this Court held in a recent decision

granting a TRO enjoining Defendant Secretary Kemp, “Defendant’s claim

that the Secretary cannot redress Plaintiff’s injury fails because the

Secretary of State is the state official in charge of enforcing Georgia’s election

laws.” Common Cause Ga. v. Kemp, 347 F.Supp.3d 1270, 1291 (N.D. Ga.

2018) (citing Grizzle v. Kemp, 634 F.3d 1314, 131 (11th Cir. 2011)).

Accordingly, “Defendant’s role as the chief election official of the state, a

ruling by the Court directed at Defendant can redress Plaintiff’s injuries.” Id.

Without an immediate temporary injunction, electoral votes will be

cast, electors will be appointed and this Court will lose any authority to

provide relief to Plaintiffs. There is no harm to Respondents by the potential

relief fashioned by this Court. As recently held by a court considering claims

similar to those asserted here.

39
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 40 of 53

3 U.S.C. §5 makes clear that the Safe Harbor does not expire until
December 8, 2020, and the Electoral College does not vote for
president and vice president until December 14, 2020. According to
an October 22, 2020 white paper from the Congressional Research
Service titled “The Electoral College: A 2020 Presidential Election
Timeline,” the electors will meet and vote on December 14, 2020.
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/ IF11641. December
8, 2020—six days prior to the date the College of Electors is
scheduled to meet—is the “safe harbor” deadline under 3 U.S.C. §5.
That statute provides that if a state has provided, “by laws enacted
prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its
final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the
appointment of all or any of the electors of such State,” and that
final determination has been made “at least six days before the time
fixed for the meeting of the electors,” that determination—if it is
made under the state’s law at least six days prior to the day the
electors meet— “shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the
counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution . . . .”
It appears, therefore, that December 8 is a critical date for
resolution of any state court litigation involving an aggrieved
candidate who is contesting the outcome of an election.

Feehan v. Wisconsin Board of Elections, Case No. 20-cv-1771(E.D. Wis.

12/4/20) (Attached as Exh. A).

This Court can grant the primary relief requested by Plaintiffs, i.e., de-

certification of Georgia’s election results and an injunction prohibiting State

Defendants from transmitting the results. There is also no question that this

Court can order other types of declaratory and injunctive relief requested by

Plaintiffs, in particular, impounding Dominion voting machines and software

for inspection, nor have State Defendants claimed otherwise.

40
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 41 of 53

In Siegel v. Lepore, 234 F.3d 1163 (11th Cir. 2000), a case arising from

the 2000 General Election, the Eleventh Circuit held that certification did not

moot the claim:

This Court has held that “[a] claim for injunctive relief may become
moot if: (1) it can be said with assurance that there is no reasonable
expectation that the alleged violation will recur and (2) interim
relief or events have completely and irrevocably eradicated the
effects of the alleged violation.” Reich v. Occupational Safety &
Health Review Comm'n, 102 F.3d 1200, 1201 (11th Cir.1997).

We conclude that neither of these elements is satisfied in this case.


The Democratic candidate, Vice President Gore, and others are
currently contesting the election results in various lawsuits in
numerous Florida state courts. There are still manual recount votes
from at least Volusia and Broward Counties in the November 26th
official election results of the Florida Secretary of State. In view of
the complex and ever-shifting circumstances of the case, we
cannot say with any confidence that no live controversy is
before us.

Id. at 1172-73 (emphasis added). ). See also Common Cause, 347 F.Supp.3d

at 1291 (holding that certification of election results did not moot post-

election claim for emergency injunctive relief). The State Defendants cannot

be allowed to certify the results after this case has been filed and then claim

the lawsuit is moot because they have certified.

The case of Wood v. Raffensberger, No. 20-14418, 2020 WL 7094866

(11th Cir. Dec. 5, 2020) also does not support Defendants’ mootness or

standing arguments. The key difference between this case and Wood is that

the plaintiff in Wood requested delay of certification, rather than de-

41
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 42 of 53

certification, so in the Court’s view certification rendered his request moot.

Plaintiffs here also request several additional types of injunctive relief (as

well as declarative relief) to preserve evidence and maintain the status quo

that are not moot, e.g., access to voting machines and records as well as

declaratory relief.

VI. THE ELEVENTH AMENDMENT DOES NOT BAR CLAIMS


FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

State Defendants assert that Plaintiffs’ claims are barred by the

Eleventh Amendment. While the contours of the Eleventh Amendment’s

jurisdictional bar are ambiguous in many cases, this is not one of them. As

the Court held in Fair Fight Action, Inc. v. Raffensperger, 413 F. Supp. 3d

1251 (N.D. Ga. 2019):

Under the doctrine enunciated in Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123, 28


S.Ct. 441, 52 L.Ed. 714 (1908), ... a suit alleging a violation of the
federal constitution against a state official in his official capacity for
injunctive relief on a prospective basis is not a suit against the
state, and, accordingly, does not violate the Eleventh Amendment.”
Grizzle v. Kemp, 634 F.3d 1314, 1319 (11th Cir. 2011) (citations
omitted); see also Alden v. Maine, 527 U.S. 706, 756–57, 119 S.Ct.
2240, 144 L.Ed.2d 636 (1999) (“The rule [of sovereign immunity],
however, does not bar certain actions against state officers for
injunctive or declaratory relief.”) and Will v. Michigan Dept. of State
Police, 491 U.S. 58, 71 n.10, 109 S.Ct. 2304 (“Of course a state
official in his or her official capacity, when sued for injunctive relief,
would be a person under § 1983 because ‘official-capacity actions for
prospective relief are not treated as actions against the State.’”).

Id. at 1278. The Court further held:

42
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 43 of 53

In addition, the remedy of prospective injunctive relief is “not the


‘functional equivalent’ of a form of relief barred by the Eleventh
Amendment.” Id. The proposed remedy also will not resolve “for all
time,” Georgia's election system.

Id. at 1280.

This is precisely what the Plaintiffs request in the Complaint, namely,

equitable and injunctive relief to prospectively enjoin the Defendants from

taking actions that are within the scope of their statutory authority, in

particular, the Secretary of State as the State’s chief election officer,

including but not limited to seeking a permanent injunction to de-certify the

election results and against transmitting the currently certified election

results to the Electoral College.” The Eleventh Amendment is no bar to this

Court granting the requested relief.

VII. P L A I N T I F F S ’ C L A I M S A R E N O T S U B J E C T T O D I S M I S S A L
UNDER ABSTENTION DOCTRINES.

The State Defendants next argue that the Court should dismiss the

Complaint to permit State court resolution under the abstention doctrines

announced in Comm'n of Texas v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496 (1941) and

Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S.

800(1976); State Defendants’ Brief at pp. 30–33. As to Pullman abstention, a

federal court may stay or dismiss proceedings for “a state court resolution of

underlying issues of state law” when (1) the case presents an unsettled

question of state law, and (2) the question of state law is dispositive of the

43
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 44 of 53

case or would materially alter the constitutional question presented. Harman

v. Forssenius, 380 U.S. 528, 534, 85 S.Ct. 1177 (1965). As a preliminary

matter, Defendants have not identified any “unsettled question of state law”

that must be resolved to address Plaintiffs’ constitutional claims, nor have

they identified any specific state proceeding in which such an unsettled

question is before a state court. See Doc. 63-1 at 30-33. The state law

“questions” raised in the Complaint are relatively straightforward – and

involve bright-line factual determinations – e.g., did Georgia election officials

de facto eliminate the absentee ballot signature matching requirement, were

absentee ballots sent to voters who did not request them, were Republican

ballots destroyed, lost or disqualified at a higher rate than comparable ballots

for Democratic candidates, etc.

While it is true that “abstention is discretionary” Siegel v. LePore, 234

F.3d 1163, 1174 (11th Cir. 2000), the Supreme Court has made clear that

“the power to dismiss under the Burford doctrine, as with other abstention

doctrines, ... derives from the discretion historically enjoyed by courts of

equity.” Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706, 727–28, 116 S.Ct.

1712, 135 L.Ed.2d 1 (1996) (emphases added). In exercising its discretion, a

federal court must consider whether “certain classes of cases, and certain

federal rights” are more appropriately “adjudicated in federal court.” Id. at

728, 116 S.Ct. 1712; Edwards v. Sammons, 437 F.2d 1240, 1243 (5th Cir.

44
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 45 of 53

1971) (federal courts “must also take into consideration the nature of the

controversy and the particular right sought to be enforced.”).

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held abstention is inappropriate

when First Amendment rights, rights related to school desegregation, and

voting rights are alleged at issue. Id., citing Harman v. Forssenius, 380 U.S.

528, 537 (1965) (abstention improper when voting rights violation being

alleged), Baggett v. Bullitt, 377 U.S. 360, 375–80 (1964) (abstention improper

when First Amendment violation being alleged), and Griffin v. County Sch.

Bd. of Prince Edward Cty., 377 U.S. 218, (1964) (abstention improper when

school desegregation violations being alleged)); see also Siegel, 234 F.3d at

1174 (collecting cases holding abstention improper).

The Eleventh Circuit has rejected the argument that a federal court

should abstain under Pullman in voting rights cases in no uncertain terms.

Drawing from decades of precedent, the Eleventh Circuit in Siegel concluded

that “[o]ur cases have held that voting rights cases are particularly

inappropriate for abstention.” Id. This conclusion was “strengthened by the

fact that Plaintiffs allege a constitutional violation of their voting rights.” Id.

The law is crystal clear in the Eleventh Circuit. Federal courts do not

abstain when voting rights are alleged to be violated. The unambiguous

holdings from binding precedent, mentioned nowhere in the State’s

Defendants’ Brief, sharply confine the Court’s discretion to abstain from

45
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 46 of 53

exercise of its Article III jurisdiction over this case. See e.g. Harman, 380 U.S.

at 537 (“Given the importance and immediacy of the problem [of voting

rights], and the delay inherent in referring questions of state law to state

tribunals, [ ] it is evident that the District Court did not abuse its discretion

in refusing to abstain.”) (citations omitted).

The very nature of this controversy and the inapplicability of

discretionary abstention is dispositive on this issue. Abstention would result

in substantial delay as the various state court challenges work their way

through the state court system. Abstention, were it applied, would by its

nature last well beyond the current certification and electoral college process

and moot the Plaintiffs’ claims. “The delay which follows from abstention is

not to be countenanced in cases involving such a strong national interest as

the right to vote.” Edwards, supra, 437 F.2d at 1244.

The State Defendants also argue that the Court should decline to reach

the merits of this dispute under the doctrine of constitutional avoidance—a

doctrine that is part and parcel of the Pullman analysis — because it “might

be mooted or presented in a different posture by a state court determination

of pertinent state law.” State Defendants’’ Brief, pg. 31 (citing cases); See

Duke v. James, 713 F.2d 1506, 1510 (11th Cir. 1983) (explaining how

Pullman applies when there is an unsettled question of state law and “that

the question be dispositive of the case and would avoid, or substantially

46
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 47 of 53

modify, the constitutional question.”). However, constitutional avoidance does

not permit federal courts to avoid federal questions under the federal

constitution. See Pittman v. Cole, 267 F.3d 1269, 1285–87 (11th Cir. 2001);

(“federal courts should not abstain in order to avoid the task of deciding the

federal constitutional issues in a case.”); Duke, 713 F.2d at 1510 (“It is

improper ... to view abstention as a tool merely to extract from the state

courts an alternative state law ground for the judgment.

Abstention is not intended to serve in this manner when state law is

clear. Similarly, if the state court will merely apply federal constitutional

law, then the state construction will not moot or modify the constitutional

question.”).

It is not for the courts to withdraw that jurisdiction which Congress


has expressly granted under section 1983 where such a withdrawal
is contrary to the purpose of Congress in extending that alternative
forum. In this regard, the Pullman doctrine is narrow and is tightly
circumscribed. A federal court must grapple with difficult
constitutional questions that confront it squarely. The abstention
doctrine is an exception to this rule, to be exercised only in special
or “exceptional ” circumstances.”

Id. (emphasis in original).

As to Colorado River abstention, the State Defendants fail to provide

any basis for its application in this case. The Colorado River analysis is

applicable when federal and state proceedings involve substantially the same

parties and substantially the same issues. Ambrosia Coal and Const. Co. v.

47
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 48 of 53

Pages Morales, 368 F.3rd. 1320, 1329-1330 (11th Cir. 2004). While the State

Defendants generally allege that the existence of “numerous pending

challenges to the November election that have properly been filed in

Georgia’s courts,” other than a vague reference to supposed “statements by

Mr. Wood’s counsel in the no-longer-pending Wood litigation,” there is no

sufficient showing that any ongoing parallel state court action involves

“substantially the same parties and substantially the same issues” that

would properly invoke application of the Colorado River abstention doctrine

to permit this Court to avoid its “virtually unflagging obligation” to exercise

its jurisdiction over these claims. Moses v. Cone Mem’l Hosp. v. Mercury

Const. Corp., 460 U.S. 1 (1983) (primary purpose of Colorado River

abstention is avoidance of piecemeal litigation between same parties).

There is no reason for this Court to abstain from deciding this case.

VIII. R E P L Y I N S U P P O R T O F M O T I O N F O R E M E R G E N C Y
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

The Intervenor Defendants’ response to the motion for emergency

injunctive relief is largely a rehash of the arguments made in their motion to

dismiss – standing, mootness, laches, failure to state a claim dressed up as

not likely to succeed on the merits, no irreparable harm and balancing of the

equities. All of these contentions are addressed in the earlier arguments in

48
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 49 of 53

this brief in response to the motions to dismiss. Two bites at the dismissal

apple ought to be enough for the vast swarms of lawyers defending this case.

Plaintiffs reiterate that they have demonstrated that they have

satisfied the requirements for the grant of a TRO, in particular, substantial

likelihood of success, and highlight this Court’s decision to grant a TRO

where plaintiffs brought a post-election challenge regarding Defendant

Secretary Kemp’s implementation of Georgia election laws supported by

substantial statistical evidence and witness declarations showing that the

“infringement of the rights of the voters to cast their votes and have their

votes counted.” Common Cause, 347 F.Supp.3d at 1295.

1. EXPERT TESTIMONY

Intervenor Defendants move to exclude all of Plaintiffs’ expert

testimony and offer reports of their own experts.

The objections to Plaintiffs’ experts all go to weight, not admissibility.

Defendants’ own experts are subject to many of the same criticisms, with the

additional criticism that several of them are paid mouthpieces, while all of

Plaintiffs’ experts are working for free and with great courage, as they have

undertaken a great career risk due to the incredibly toxic nature of our

current political environment.

The most important point to make is that this is not a jury trial. The

Court is well-able to discern the wheat from the chaff and determine what

49
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68 Filed 12/06/20 Page 50 of 53

weight and credibility should be afforded to competing experts. Because there

is no jury, this not a case in which the cause of justice needs to be protected

from unsophisticated jurors’ having excess credulity for expert testimony –

the whole animating purpose of D’aubert and its progeny. Each side has its

experts. The Court should exercise its discretion over evidentiary questions

and weigh them all for what they are worth.

Responses from Plaintiffs’ experts are submitted contemporaneously

herewith.

Russell Ramsland has also offered a reply to the reports critiquing his

work.

Eric Quinnell, Ph.D. and S. Stanley Young offer a very brief rebuttal

which demonstrates that the Rodden-Marble report, which purports to

critique their analysis, actually confirms it. Quinnell and Young find that the

statistical properties of the data set of Fulton County absentee ballots are

mathematically and statistically impossible absent some external

intervention. This is compelling prima facie evidence to support Plaintiffs’

allegations of wrongdoing and complements the State Farm Arena video tape.

The after-hours counting out of public view, in which batches of ballots were

scanned over and over again, concluded just before 1:00 AM on November 4,

2020. The first upload of Fulton County’s absentee ballot results, consisting

of 73,523 ballots, is time-stamped at 12:59 AM, December 4, 2020.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, the motions to dismiss should be denied, and

the motion for emergency injunctive relief should be granted.

Respectfully submitted, this 6th day of December 2020.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

WILLIAM FEEHAN,

Plaintiff,
Case No. 20-cv-1771-pp
v.

WISCONSIN ELECTIONS COMMISSION, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DEFERRING RULING IN PART ON


AMENDED MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION TO BE HEARD IN AN EXPEDITED MANNER
(DKT. NO. 10)

At 10:30 a.m. on December 3, 2020, the plaintiff filed an “Amended

Motion For Temporary Restraining Order And Preliminary Injunction To Be

Considered In An Expedited Manner.” Dkt. No. 10. The amended motion seeks

a temporary restraining order or, in the alternative, a preliminary injunction,

“to be considered in an expedited manner.” Id. at 1. It states that the motion is

being submitted pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65 “and Civil L.R. 7.” Id.

The motion asserts that the plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm if the

court does not grant a temporary restraining order. Id. at 2. The plaintiff states

that he will suffer irreparable harm if various actions he describes “are not

immediately enjoined across the state of Wisconsin pursuant to 52 U.S.C.

§ 20701 (preservation of voting records)” to prevent destruction or alteration of

evidence. Id. at ¶5. He asserts that the amended complaint (Dkt. No. 9, filed

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 1 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 2 of 10

the same day as this motion) and the motion present “material dispositive

issues which are questions of law that may be resolved without factual

investigation or determination.” Id. at ¶6.

The plaintiff attached to the motion a proposed briefing schedule. Dkt.

No. 10-1. The schedule indicates that the plaintiff s counsel had conferred with

defense counsel (and planned to speak with them again later that day) and

anticipated proposing that the defendants file their response to the motion for

injunctive relief by 8:00 p.m. on Friday, December 4, 2020, that the plaintiff file

his reply by 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 5, 2020 and that the schedule

conclude with a “[h]earing as directed by the Court. Plaintiff proposes to submit

the matter on briefs without argument.” Id. at 1. Neither the amended motion

nor the briefing schedule indicated whether the plaintiff needed a decision from

the court by a date certain.

At 5:13 p.m. on December 3, the plaintiff filed a brief in opposition to

defendant Tony Evers s motion to reassign Trump v. Wisconsin Elections

Commission, et al., Case No. 20-cv-1785, from U.S. District Court Judge Brett

H. Ludwig to this court. Dkt. No. 18. The brief stated that “[w]ith the College of

Electors scheduled to meet December 8, there could never be a clearer case of

‘justice delayed is justice denied. ” Id. at 1. The plaintiff stated that the court

should deny the motion to reassign and “immediately order briefing and issue

its decision no later than 5 p.m. Sunday evening, December 6 so that Plaintiff

may have even a few hours to prepare for and seek whatever further relief may

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 2 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 3 of 10

be then available in the one day left before the December 8 meeting of electors.”

Id. at 2.

The plaintiff reported that the parties had met and conferred regarding a

briefing schedule for the motion for injunctive relief, but that the defendants

had “refused to agree to the schedule proposed by Plaintiffs, and in fact,

refused to offer a proposed schedule of their own,” indicating that they would

be seeking reassignment of Case No. 20-cv-1785. Id. at 3. The plaintiff said the

defendants also indicated that they could not stipulate to a TRO “to preserve

electronic and physical data, materials, and equipment (voting machines in

particular) for inspection by Plaintiff s experts” because the defendants said

they had “no control or influence whatsoever over preservation of evidence by

local jurisdictions and elections clerks.” Id. The plaintiff concluded the brief by

reiterating his request that the court immediately order briefing and that the

court issue its decision no later than 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening, December 6.

First thing on December 4, 2020, defendant Tony Evers responded to the

request for an expedited briefing schedule. Dkt. No. 25. The defendant noted

that although the plaintiff had asserted that the court needed to decide the

motion before the electors meet, that meeting was not scheduled until

December 14. Id. at 2 n.2. The defendant proposed an alternative schedule by

which the defendants would file their briefs in opposition to the motion for

injunctive relief by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 7; the plaintiff would file

his reply brief by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8; and the court could

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 3 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 4 of 10

exercise its discretion regarding whether to hold an evidentiary hearing or hear

argument. Id. at 1-2.

Minutes later, defendants the Wisconsin Elections Commission and its

members filed their brief in opposition to the request for an expedited briefing

schedule. Dkt. No. 26. They, too, stated that the meeting of electors will not

take place until December 14, 2020. Id. at 26. They propose a schedule

whereby the defendants will file their opposition briefs to the motion for

injunctive relief by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 and the plaintiff

will file his reply brief by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, December 9, 2020. Id. at

2,

In seeking an expedited briefing schedule, the plaintiff s December 3,

2020 amended motion for injunctive relief cites Civil Local Rule 7 (E.D. Wis.),

but identifies no subsection of that rule. Rule 7(b) gives a non-moving party

twenty-one days to respond to a motion and Rule 7(c) gives the moving party

fourteen days to reply. Given the plaintiff s repeated use of the word “expedited”

and the briefing schedule he proposes, the court concludes that he is asking

the court for shorter turnaround time than that provided in Rules 7(b) and (c).

There is a provision of Civil L.R. 7 that allows a party to seek expedited

briefing. Civil L.R. 7(h), which allows a party to seek non-dispositive relief by

expedited motion if the party designates the motion as a “Civil L.R. 7(h)

Expedited Non-Dispositive Motion.” When the court receives a motion with that

designation, it may schedule the motion for a hearing or decide the motion on

the papers and may order an expedited motion schedule. Civil L.R. 7(h)(1). The

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 4 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 5 of 10

rule limits such motions to three pages in length, requires the respondent to

file its three-page opposition memorandum within seven days unless the court

orders otherwise and allows the respondent to attach an affidavit or declaration

of no more than two pages. Civil L.R. 7(h)(2).

Although the plaintiff did not designate it as such, the court construes

the plaintiff s request for the motion for injunctive relief to be heard in an

“expedited manner”—Dkt. No. 10—as a Civil L.R. 7(h) Expedited Non-

Dispositive Motion for an Expedited Briefing Schedule. The court will grant that

motion (although it will not order the briefing schedule the plaintiff suggests).

The other part of the plaintiff s motion seeks immediate temporary

injunctive relief—a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction. The

motion states that the amended complaint and the motion “present material

dispositive issues which are questions of law that may be resolved without

factual investigation or determination.” Dkt. No. 10 at 3. The plaintiff never has

requested a hearing, either in writing or by contacting chambers by phone with

the adverse parties on the line. The anticipated briefing schedule the plaintiff

attached to the amended motion for injunctive relief, while mentioning a

hearing “as directed by the Court,” states that the plaintiff proposes to “submit

the matter on briefs without argument.” Dkt. No. 10-1 at 1. In his brief in

opposition to a motion to reassign another case, the plaintiff proposes briefing

through the weekend and a ruling from this court on Sunday evening; because

court generally is not in session on weekends, the court deduces that the

plaintiff does not anticipate a hearing on the motion.

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 5 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 6 of 10

The United States Supreme Court has held that injunctive relief is “an

extraordinary remedy that may only be awarded upon a clear showing that the

plaintiff is entitled to such relief.” Winter v. Nat. Res. Defense Counsel, Inc.,

555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008) (citing Mazurek v. Armstrong, 520 U.S. 968, 972 (1997)).

Because it is an extraordinary remedy, injunctive relief never is awarded as of

right. Id. (citing Munaf v. Geren, 553 U.S. 674, 689-90 (2008)). Courts

considering requests for such extraordinary relief must, in every case, “balance

the competing claims of injury and must consider the effect on each party of

the granting or withholding of the requested relief.” Id. (quoting Amoco Prod.

Co. v. Gambell, 480 U.S. 531, 542 (1987)).

In this court s experience it is unusual for a party seeking the

extraordinary remedy of preliminary injunctive relief to ask the court to issue a

decision on the pleadings, without presentation of evidence or argument. But

because that is what the plaintiff—the movant—has asked, the court will rule

on the pleadings.

As for the expedited briefing schedule, the schedule the plaintiff has

proposed severely limits the time available to the defendants to respond to his

pleadings and to the court to rule. The plaintiff created this limitation by

waiting two days to confer with defense counsel and by waiting until late

yesterday afternoon to mention a date by which it appears he seeks a ruling

from the court. The court disagrees that the plaintiff will be denied his right to

redress if the court does not rule by Sunday evening, December 6.

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 6 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 7 of 10

The plaintiff stated in his opposition brief to the motion to reassign that

time was of the essence because the College of Electors was scheduled to meet

December 8. Dkt. No. 18 at 1. That is not correct. According to an October 22,

2020 white paper from the Congressional Research Service titled “The Electoral

College: A 2020 Presidential Election Timeline,” the electors will meet and vote

on December 14, 2020. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/

IF11641.

December 8, 2020—six days prior to the date the College of Electors is

scheduled to meet—is the “safe harbor” deadline under 3 U.S.C. §5. That

statute provides that if a state has provided, “by laws enacted prior to the day

fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any

controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors

of such State,” and that final determination has been made “at least six days

before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors,” that determination—if it is

made under the state s law at least six days prior to the day the electors meet—

“shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as

provided in the Constitution . . . .” Wisconsin has enacted such a law. It is Wis.

Stat. §9.01. That statute provides for an aggrieved candidate to petition for a

recount. It provides specific procedures for the recount, as well as appeal to the

circuit court and the court of appeals. Wis. Stat. §9.01(11) states that it is “the

exclusive judicial remedy for testing the right to hold an elective office as the

result of an alleged irregularity, defect or mistake committed during the voting

or canvassing process.”

C ase 2:20-cv-01771-P P Filed 12/04/20 P age 7 of 10 Document 29


Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 8 of 10

It appears, therefore, that December 8 is a critical date for resolution of

any state court litigation involving an aggrieved candidate who is contesting the

outcome of an election. The state courts1 either will or will not resolve

allegations of violations of Wis. Stat. §9.01 by the December 8, 2020 “safe

harbor” deadline. The plaintiff has not explained why it is necessary for this

federal court to grant or deny the injunctive relief he seeks—orders requiring

the defendants to de-certify the election results; enjoining defendant Evers

from transmitting certified election results to the Electoral College; requiring

defendant Evers to transmit certified election results stating that President

Donald Trump is the winner of the election; seizing and impounding voting

machines, ballots and other election materials; requiring production of security

camera recordings for voting facilities—before the safe harbor deadline for state

courts to resolve alleged violations of Wis. Stat. §9.01.

Because the electors do not meet and vote until December 14, 2020, the

court will impose a less truncated briefing schedule than the one the plaintiff

proposes, to give the defendants slightly more time to respond. The court will

require the defendants to file their opposition brief to the Plaintiff s Amended

Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction to be

Considered in an Expedited Manner (Dkt. No. 10) by 5:00 p.m. on Monday,

December 7, 2020. The court will require the plaintiff to file his reply brief in

support of the Plaintiff s Amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and

1The plaintiff has alleged in this federal suit that the defendants violated the
“Wisconsin Election Code.” Dkt. No. 9 at 11. This court has made no
determination regarding whether it has jurisdiction to resolve that claim.

Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 68-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 9 of 10

Preliminary Injunction to be Considered in an Expedited Manner (Dkt. No. 10)

by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.

The court directs the parties attention to Civil L.R. 7(f), which provides

that memoranda in opposition to motions are limited to thirty pages and reply

briefs in support of motions are limited to fifteen pages.

Finally, an administrative note: On December 2, 2020 a document was

docketed as a notice of appearance for lead counsel Sidney Powell. Dkt. No. 8.

The document is blank (except for the designation of the court); the court does

not have a completed notice of appearance on file for Attorney Powell.

The court GRANTS the plaintiff s amended motion to the extent that it is

a Civil L.R. 7(h) Expedited Non-Dispositive Motion for an Expedited Briefing

Schedule. Dkt. No. 10.

The court ORDERS that the defendants opposition brief to the Plaintiff s

Amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction

to be Considered in an Expedited Manner (Dkt. No. 10) by must be filed by

5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 7, 2020.

The court ORDERS that the plaintiff s reply brief in support of the

Plaintiff s Amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary

Injunction to be Considered in an Expedited Manner (Dkt. No. 10) must be filed

by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.

Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 70-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 3 of 35

RESPONSES TO DR. REDDON:



1) I have read the Dr. Reddon’s rebuttal to my affidavit dated December 5, 2020 and
find it unconvincing in a real world scenario for several reasons. The first of these
reasons is the broadly recognized importance of contextual factors in inferring
various analytical results from research data whether the considerations involve
ecological fallacies, corporate fallacies or individualistic fallacies. Simply put, an
over-reliance on inferred results without taking into consideration the events and
their time- sequencing, the parties of input and influence (corporate or individual)
and the historical and contemporary backdrop in which they exist (“spiraling
contextuality” in political science jargon) yields false assurances in the outcomes.
Dr. Reddon makes this very mistake in his arguments for his counter analysis that
essentially boils down to the notion that Dominion machines cannot be held
responsible for what our team found as highly anomalous reporting in favor of
Biden using 3 different metrics because they are placed in historically democratic
heavy areas to begin with. Therefore we should expect this self-fulfilling outcome.
There are several problems with Dr. Reddon’s argument.

2) The first example of failing to recognize contextual matters is Dr. Reddon’s
apparent assumption that any such selection of Dominion Systems by a heavily
democratic area is divorced from Dominion’s history and alliances. It is absurd to
make such an assumption as the previous 4 affidavits of Spider and my own affidavit
make clear. Further, the new affidavit of Spider adds to the enormity of the
importance of viewing any anomaly in the context of Dominion’s history and
relationships. 1 Clearly Dominion’s history and alliances are of tremendous
importance to the decision makers who select these systems, and part of that
history includes its vulnerability to being tampered with by inside or outside actors.
For instance, in the real world of power politics it cannot be easily dismissed as a
potentially attractive feature in certain cases, and in this sense the relationship
between Dominion’s selection and the heavy bias of Dominion outcomes may
certainly be related. Hence no amount of correlation between Dominion selection
by more heavily democrat counties has anything useful to add to the question of
whether Dominion systems are innocent of fraud or tampering. That question is still
wide open and our three perspectives on anomalous behavior in our analysis of this
question is at least as valid as Dr. Reddons.

3) The second example of failing to recognize contextual matters is illustrated by


one of the very sources Dr. Reddon uses in his analysis, Verified Voting. This
organization has historically been a champion of actual paper ballots and scanners
(as opposed to ballot marking devices, etc. as used by Dominion) for the very reason
they are so vulnerable to manipulation within the system and audit trails can be
erased, changed or even bypassed since many aspects of them are now voluntary as
selected by the user. However, as of late Verified Voting has come under intense
criticism by some of it’s own experts. Important excerpts from Fast Company’s
article about it in 2019 include:


1 andy_huang_affidavit, Spider, 12.5.2020
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 70-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 4 of 35

“Amid heightened concerns about the integrity of the voting process in the
run-up to the 2020 presidential election, two election security experts
recently quit Verified Voting, a respected election accountability group, in
protest. They claim that it has been downplaying security risks in popular
voting machines.

Richard DeMillo, a Georgia Tech professor who sat on Verified Voter’s


advisory board, just left the group, soon after the departure of UC Berkeley
statistics professor Philip Stark, a board member who sent a fiery letter of
resignation on November 21st. Stark and DeMillo believe that Verified Voting
has been giving election officials false confidence in their voting machines
and providing cover for the companies that make and sell the machines.” It
further says “Amid heightened concerns about the integrity of the voting
process in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, two election security
experts recently quit Verified Voting, a respected election accountability
group, in protest. They claim that it has been downplaying security risks in
popular voting machines.

Richard DeMillo, a Georgia Tech professor who sat on Verified Voter’s


advisory board, just left the group, soon after the departure of UC Berkeley
statistics professor Philip Stark, a board member who sent a fiery letter of
resignation on November 21st. Stark and DeMillo believe that Verified Voting
has been giving election officials false confidence in their voting machines
and providing cover for the companies that make and sell the machines.

In his resignation letter, Stark accused the group of being on the “wrong side”
by approving pricey new voting systems that replace hand-marked ballots
with computer-printed ballot summary cards [BMD], the accuracy of which
he questions since they depend on potentially insecure software. . .

Since the election interference in 2016, many states and localities have been
moving to voting machines called ballot marking devices that record the
voter’s choices digitally and also print them on a paper ballot as a backup.
And there’s the disconnect. The findings of the RLA depend totally on the
assumption that the paper ballots accurately reflect the choices of the voter.
Stark and DeMillo warn against making that assumption.

“Because there is software between the voter and the paper, what the paper
shows might not be what the voter did or saw . . . on the device,” Stark told
me. That’s because the software could be hacked and caused to create a false
paper ballot. In close elections, it might take only a small number of these to
change the result.”

And then finally, lest anyone think the so-called audit in Georgia of it’s
Dominion machines (the same machines as in Maricopa, Co.) answered any
questions about Dominion, Stark says “In Georgia and particular, the kind of
audit that was done is called a ballot polling audit, and a ballot polling and it
doesn’t even check the tabulation at all,” Stark told me. “It just checks whether
there is a sufficiently large majority to report a winner and a sufficiently
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 70-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 5 of 35

large sample that it’s implausible that somebody else won.” (italics and
underline is added)2.

4) These are but two examples of why no one should rely on merely a standalone
analysis without taking into account the real world background and facts. Yet this is
precisely the argument Dr. Reddon posits. Without context, it becomes merely an
analytical argument of whose facts, which data, what approach is the superior one.
While we are comfortable with our approach, which I will more thoroughly outline
later, we would not argue it alone is sufficient to eliminate all other context and
would say the same for Dr. Reddon’s thesis.

5) This leads me to the second problem which is that there are the many
documented vulnerabilities in Dominion’s voting system wherein the votes are
demonstrably switched, and many experts have testified and written about the
many ways this can be accomplished. These proven problems go more directly to
the real question at hand and have been extensively examined by experts include
Harri Hursti, Matt Blaze of Georgetown University and John Halderman of Michigan,
and there are many others.3 The State of Texas has refused to certify Dominion for
use in Texas due to it’s deficiencies, saying “Specifically, the examiner reports raise
concerns about whether the Democracy Suite 5.5-A system is suitable for its
intended purpose; operates efficiently and accurately; and it safe from fraudulent or
unauthorized manipulation”.4 .

6) Further, spot field testing of results in Antrim Co., MI. that uses the same
Dominion equipment as most of Georgia., have now shown in Antrim Co. that as a
result of a hand recount, 6,000 votes were switched by the machines. Additionally, a
re-tabulation on November 6th of the November 3rd tabulated results in Central
Lake Township yielded dramatically different results as well (see attached Antrim
Report V1.7). Then on December 3rd, from Ware Co., Georgia (that also uses the
same Dominion equipment as Maricopa Co.) comes the report and sworn affidavit of
Garland Favorito that a hand recount, as reported in Voter/GA “confirmed the
Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 system used throughout Georgia flipped dozens of
votes cast in at least one county for President Donald Trump to former Vice
President Joe Biden during the November 3, 2020 election. Dominion vote flipping
from Trump to Biden was previously believed to have occurred only in Antrim
County, Michigan where the system swapped 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden.

Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 70-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 6 of 35

In Georgia, Ware County Elections Director confirmed that the recently completed
hand count audit totals showed the total electronic vote count shorted Donald
Trump 37 votes and added those 37 votes to totals for Joe Biden. The 74 affected
votes represents .52% of the 14,192 county votes cast, exactly double Biden’s total
statewide margin of .26%”. 5

And from Maricopa Co. AZ where Dominion is also the vote counting system comes
further proof that the same sort of machine vote switching behavior is happening
there. The sworn affidavit of GOP chairwoman Linda Brickman as reported in the
Epoch Times saying “Maricopa County GOP chairwoman Linda Brickman on Nov. 30
testified before members of the Arizona State Legislature that she personally
observed votes for President Donald Trump being tallied as votes for Democratic
presidential nominee Joe Biden when input into Dominion machines.

Brickman, the GOP head of one of the country’s largest counties and a veteran county
elections worker, submitted her testimony in a sworn affidavit under penalty of
perjury. She testified that she and her Democratic partner witnessed “more than
once” Trump votes default and shift to Biden when they were entering votes into
Dominion machines from ballots that couldn’t be read by machines.

7) This brings me to Dr. Reddon’s totally incorrect assertions about the use of
algorithms being used in the Dominion voting machines. The use of an algorithm
being used in the vote counting is evident from a number of perspectives. First,
there are decimal places being incorporated into the supposed vote totals instead of
whole number votes. This can be viewed from the NYT times Edison data. In the
time series shown below, note the percentages in Time Series 2020-11-
04T01:10:54Z that shows 3 decimal places (.471) displayed in the percentage
distribution for Biden of the 579,645 votes. But note Trump percentage is only 2
decimal places (.52). One might wish to argue that the issue of decimal places
appearing in the vote number is simply due to the fact only 3 decimal places are
displayed, and that if 20 or 30 decimal places were displayed, multiplying the
percentage decimal by the total votes would yield whole numbers appearing as
votes, instead of points with decimal places. And therefore there is no evidence in
this illustration that an allocative algorithm was utilized. The problem with this is
two-fold. The first is the percentages do not come close to 100% regardless of
rounding. But the much bigger problem is that by displaying only 2 decimal places
for Trump when 3 could clearly be displayed, makes it clear that Trump’s share of
the 579,645 votes is EXACTLY .52 at that time. Therefore, multiplying .52 X the
579,645 vote total yields 301415.4 votes for Trump, a vote that clearly displays
decimals. This is totally contrary to Dr. Rodden assertion that Dominion RCV voting
is incapable of producing non-integer vote totals, and if he were to read Dominion’s
own manual he would find it too doesn’t agree with him. See “Fixed Precision
Decimals” in the manual page below:

8) The second piece of evidence that an algorithm is being utilized comes from our
observation that the percentage of the votes submitted in each batch that went
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 70-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 8 of 35

towards a candidate remain unchanged for a long series of time and for a number of
consecutive batches is extremely concerning. Further, the percentage for Trump
decreases in a mathematically extremely consistent pattern. The red arrows
indicate the impossible consistencies. The statistical impossibility of the consistent
percentage reported to Biden approaches zero. This makes clear an algorithm in the
election system is allocating votes based on a percentage.




9) These sorts of problems, ranging from clear cyber vulnerabilities from inside or
outside actors to an algorithm actually “awarding” or “distributing” points instead of
whole votes, simply should never occur in a secure voting system and all of these
are proof Dominion EMS system is not secure.

10) This leads me to the third problem in Dr. Reddon’s analysis that concerns actual
proof of illegal activities with respect to the actions of individuals operating the
election, be they Dominion personnel or county personnel. The ease and possibility
of this type of activity is most graphically laid out in video footage first presented at
the Subcommittee of Georgia Oversight Committee on December 3, 2020 wherein it
was made clear that observers of the Georgia count were mis-led into thinking that
counting had stopped and immediately after clearing the room boxes of ballots were
pulled from under tables and a mad dash for counting them ensued, including
excerpts where stacks of ballots were scanned multiple times.6 Unfortunately,
Dominion equipment doesn’t preclude multiple scans and repetitive counting of the
same ballots.

11) With regards to most of the questions raised by Dr. Reddon as to ASOG’s
analysis of Voting irregularities in Georgia, and it’s sources, I list the following full
report:

• In counties using Dominion BMD voting machines, candidate Biden appears


to have consistently received 5% more votes than he should have received
• Biden over-performed predicted/expected values in 78 % of the counties
that used Dominion or Hart machines. In counties with other machines,
Biden over-performed only 46% of the time (anything close to 50% is
normal/expected)

RESPONSES TO DR. MAYER:

SOURCE: https://elections.sos.ga.gov/Elections/voterabsenteefile.do

In reading Dr. Mayer’s response, it appears he doesn’t know or failed to isolate or
otherwise identify ballot records with no return date that were mailed and not
cancelled. These ballots are, at the very least, “live” ballots and within the Dominion
system are available for misappropriation and assignment to people who otherwise
Case 1:20-cv-04809-TCB Document 70-1 Filed 12/06/20 Page 35 of 35

didn’t vote. That is exactly why ballots need to be tracked and affirmatively marked
cancelled. This misappropriation is technically possible, in fact it’s technically easy
as one can see if they read the Dominion manual.

Our source data was from https://elections.sos.ga.gov/Elections/voterabsenteefile.do. and was
downloaded November 16th.

Apparently Dr. Mayer chose a different source of data that had already excluded
those ballots with no return date.

Our dataset has about total is 4.3M lines of absentee and early ballots. Those lines
include roughly 230,000 lines with no return date. Parsing those lines to eliminate
the C (cancelled), R (rejected) and S (spoiled) ballots still leaves approximately
134,588 ballots that have no received back date and the ballot was not marked
cancelled. Therefore, these ballots are available for electronic assignment and
manipulation and should be considered as likely candidates for malfeasance. We
can probably agree that there were roughly 100,000 ballots cancelled, but I was
highlighting the number of ballots not cancelled that were mailed out. We do not
take issue with the number of cancelled ballots, it just wasn’t my point.

Finally, these ballots are spread across a number of counties, and in the huge
number they represent constitute either gross and widespread negligence, or
something worse.

Consensus Study Report


SEPTEMBER 2018 HIGHLIGHTS FOR FEDERAL POLICY MAKERS
HIGHLIGHTS

SECURING THE VOTE


Protecting American Democracy

The 2016 presidential election made clear the vulnerability of America’s election
infrastructure to foreign cyberattacks. Such attacks represent a new threat to the
nation’s system of representative democracy. A new report from the National Academies
of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends concerted action by Congress,
federal agencies, and state and local governments to protect the security and integrity
of U.S. elections.
Securing the Vote: Protecting American Democracy recommends that focused attention
be directed at strengthening cybersecurity for election systems. In addition, the report
recommends that all U.S. elections be conducted with human-readable paper ballots
by the 2020 presidential election. Risk-limiting audits should be implemented for all
federal and state elections within a decade. And election systems should continue to
be considered as U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-designated critical
infrastructure. In addition, the report states that Internet voting should not be used for
the return of marked ballots at the present time, as no known technology guarantees
the secrecy, security, and verifiability of a marked ballot transmitted over the Internet.

STEPS FEDERAL POLICYMAKERS SHOULD TAKE TO SECURE U.S. ELECTIONS


The report recommends that Congress:
• provide funding for state and local governments to improve their cybersecurity
capabilities on an ongoing basis;
• create incentive programs for public-private partnerships to develop modern
election technology; and
• authorize and fund immediately a major initiative on voting that supports
research relevant to the administration, conduct, and performance of elections.
This initiative should include academic centers to foster collaboration both across
disciplines and with state and local election officials and industry.
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has a vital role to play in improving
election administration, the report says. It urges the president to nominate and
Congress to confirm a full commission and to ensure that the commission has sufficient
members to sustain a quorum.

The report also recommends steps Congress should take to support the EAC’s work, including:
• appropriating funds for distribution by the EAC for the ongoing modernization of election systems;
• authorizing and funding the EAC to develop voluntary certification standards for voter registration databases,
electronic pollbooks, chain-of-custody procedures, and auditing;
• providing the funding necessary to sustain the EAC’s Voluntary Funding System Guidelines standard-setting
process and certification program;
• requiring state and local election officials to provide the EAC with data on voting system failures and information
on other difficulties arising during elections (for example, long lines, fraudulent voting, intrusions into voter
registration databases); this information should be made publicly available; and
• fully funding the EAC to carry out its existing functions, as well as additional ones articulated in the report.
For example, the report recommends that the EAC and DHS continue to develop and maintain a detailed set
of cybersecurity best practices for state and local election officials. And it urges the EAC to closely monitor the
expenditure of federal funds made available to states for the purposes of enhancing election security.
The report also recommends that Congress take steps to support work by the National Institutes of Standards and
Technology (NIST) around election systems, including:
• authorizing and appropriating funds to NIST to establish Common Data Formats for auditing, voter registration,
and other election systems;
• authorizing and providing appropriate funding to NIST to carry out its current elections-related functions and to
perform the additional functions articulated in the report; and
• authorizing and funding NIST, in consultation with the EAC, to develop security standards and verification and
validation protocols for electronic pollbooks, in addition to those standards and protocols developed for voting
systems.

LORI BURGESS, RMR
2 of 39

1 THE COURT: Hi. I'm Judge Batten.

2 THE CLERK: I think we have everybody here. Harry

3 MacDougald.

4 MR. MACDOUGALD: I want to announce that my

5 associate Christine Buckler is in the office with me but off

6 camera.

7 THE COURT: Thank you, Mr. MacDougald.

8 THE CLERK: Howard Kleinhendler.

9 THE COURT: Howard. Who are you with?

10 MR. KLEINHENDLER: I am with the Plaintiffs.

11 THE COURT: Keep going.

12 THE CLERK: Sidney Powell.

13 THE COURT: I don't see Ms. Powell.

14 MS. POWELL: I am also here with Lin Wood for the

15 Plaintiffs.

16 THE COURT: I don't see either of y'all.

17 THE CLERK: If you will turn on your video, please,

18 Ms. Powell.

19 MS. POWELL: I am not sure it is working properly,

20 but I have given it my best shot.

21 THE COURT: Who else do we have on the call besides

22 Ms. Powell and Mr. Wood?

23 THE CLERK: Charlene McGowan.

24 THE COURT: Is she on the video?

25 THE CLERK: Everyone's video is on except Ms. Powell

1 and Rus Willard.

2 THE COURT: I can't see everybody. I suppose that

3 is okay as long as I can hear everybody. So I think we are

4 ready to proceed. Are the Plaintiffs ready to proceed and are

5 the Defendants ready to proceed? One at a time. Plaintiffs?

6 MS. POWELL: Yes.

7 THE COURT: And the Defendants?

8 MR. WILLARD: Yes, Your Honor.

9 THE COURT: You know, I am not really sure exactly

10 what it is the Plaintiffs are trying to obtain in the case

11 right now regarding these machines. There has been a mention

12 of wiping of a machine at the World Congress Center, and also

13 been a discussion about reference to the fact that Union

14 County is going to wipe their machines. You know, I

15 understand that these county officials are obligated by state

16 law to preserve the data from the election on November 3.

17 What is it exactly that the Plaintiffs want me to order the

18 Secretary of State and/or the other Defendants to do? I am

19 not -- excuse me, I am sorry -- I am not talking about

20 ultimately under the complaint that has been filed, I am

21 talking about this emergency temporary relief right now. I

22 know you want me to throw out the election results and et

23 cetera, but I just mean on the short-term basis, what is it

24 exactly that the Plaintiffs would like? Ms. Powell?

25 MS. POWELL: Right now what you ordered in your

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 first order of the day would be perfect. We need access to

2 the machines as soon as possible so we can do mirror images of

3 the data that is on there and the operations that are on

4 there, because it's well-established throughout Dominion

5 software systems and anybody who knows anything about them

6 that they can be easily altered. And we understand, from what

7 is going on at the Center today, that process has already

8 begun. Apparently from 11:00 to 1:30 they began substituting

9 software in the machines that was completely unnecessary to

10 count the ballots.

11 THE COURT: Let me stop you right there and ask

12 Mr. Willard, first of all, I understand the State's

13 argument that -- the Defendants' argument that the Plaintiffs

14 lack standing. I also understand that they cite Jacobson for

15 the proposition that they aren't the right people to be sued

16 to provide this relief and that instead it should have been

17 the county elections officers. I understand all of that. But

18 I am wondering, and I am just trying to get factual

19 information here, what is it about access to the voting

20 machines that the Defendants have a problem with? Why can't

21 the Plaintiffs' experts go ahead and do a forensic

22 examination? Are they going to damage anything or in any

23 other way interfere with the performance of the government

24 officials' duties?

25 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I appreciate the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 opportunity to respond. I apologize about the video. With

2 the weather out there, we've had it bad with issues all

3 weekend in my subdivision. I will say that we've got a

4 concern because what your original proposed order and what the

5 Plaintiffs are seeking is going to basically take certain

6 voting equipment out of the equation for the election

7 scheduled to take place this Tuesday, as well as the election

8 scheduled to take place on January 5th, because Plaintiffs are

9 wanting us to hold and basically mothball and preserve these

10 machines at the county level - not in our possession, not in

11 our custody and control - at the county level. They want to

12 preserve those in the form that they were in after the

13 November 3rd election. Under state law there is an obligation

14 on those county election officials to preserve the data. But

15 the State of Georgia has set up a system where the actual

16 equipment is used at each successive election in the cycle.

17 And there is a certain amount of recalibration in terms of

18 getting them ready. For the individual machines, they are not

19 going to have the November 3rd, 2020 ballot card being

20 inserted in them. They are not going to have that database

21 built in any longer. You're going to have a December 1st,

22 2020 database in the machines and in the tabulation computers.

23 You're going to have a January 5th, 2020 database tabulating

24 the results of the federal and state-wide run-off on January

25 5th. They have cited to Curling. Curling is inapposite

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR

1 because it was decided before the 11th Circuit's

2 redressability decision in Jacobson. In addition, they are

3 wanting you to poke the procedure. You've got election

4 officials who, as of Tuesday morning, have to turn on the

5 lights, conduct in-person voting, Tuesday night of this week

6 have to tabulate results on the very equipment that the

7 Plaintiffs are wanting you to take out of circulation. And

8 that gets -- now it is so broad, based on what Ms. Powell has

9 asked in some of her more recent emails, you've now implicated

10 the Purcell line of cases and the progeny as interpreted by

11 this circuit that says Plaintiffs don't get to come in and

12 poke at an election procedure that is currently underway.

13 THE COURT: Let me interrupt you, Mr. Willard.

14 First of all, refresh my recollection. The election in two

15 days, which is December 1, is that the run-off for the Public

16 Service Commissioner? Or is that on January 5, 2021?

17 MR. WILLARD: The Public Service Commission race has

18 been moved to January 5th, 2021.

19 THE COURT: What is December 1?

20 MR. WILLARD: Basically any local race that is still

21 out there that --

22 THE COURT: Okay.

23 MR. WILLARD: For example, the Athens Clarke County,

24 Oconee County and, I forget, I think it's the Northeastern

25 Judicial Circuit, that District Attorney's race is on the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
7 of 39

1 ballot for this Tuesday.

2 THE COURT: I remember that.

3 MR. WILLARD: Clarke County and Oconee are going to

4 be voting in that.

5 THE COURT: Right.

6 MR. WILLARD: I am not aware here on Sunday evening

7 at 7:59 what other counties may have races on Tuesday and what

8 may not. We've been sort of struggling ever since the

9 Plaintiffs filed their emergency motion right before midnight

10 on Friday that we saw sometime around lunchtime on Saturday.

11 We've sort of been scrambling. I don't think all of my

12 clients have still seen everything, as Plaintiffs acknowledge.

13 There has been a complete absence of notice requisite to grant

14 any relief as to the temporary hearing at this point, because

15 I haven't been able to communicate with all of my clients to

16 see if all of my clients have even been properly served with

17 the emergency motion.

18 Plaintiffs have been sort of trying to do this by

19 the seat of their pants, and they keep asking for this sort of

20 ever-shifting claim of relief that they are saying isn't going

21 to matter all that much in the grand scheme of things, but in

22 terms of a currently underway election, it is going to be

23 throwing sugar in that gas tank and gumming up the works for

24 not only the December 1st election, but also the January 5th

25 election, as well as the recount that is underway.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
8 of 39

1 THE COURT: Well, I am having the impression, from

2 what you've just said, Mr. Willard, that there really is not

3 expected to be much turnout for Tuesday's elections, whatever

4 remains statewide. Obviously we are going to have an enormous

5 turnout January 5th, 2021. I just -- you know, I don't fault

6 the Defendants for complaining about the timing, and the fact

7 that they've been given precious little time to respond to the

8 Plaintiffs' requests. I don't blame them. And my draft

9 proposed orders, the two that we are discussing from today,

10 both reflect a hearing schedule that reflects my understanding

11 of the State's position. In other words, I feel like, you

12 know, you've complained, understandably, about the timing and

13 said you need a little more time, and I feel like I am giving

14 you that by having the hearing on Friday, giving you till

15 Wednesday to file the brief in opposition. Believe me, I am

16 not saying that you are getting an abundance of time, but to

17 me, I divided that baby as fair as I thought I could, and I

18 feel like I am giving you enough time. My point is, if I am

19 going to give you that time, I don't understand why it is

20 asking too much. And forget for just a moment the argument

21 about it's not under the Secretary of State's control. I

22 understand that argument. I am going to deal with that in a

23 minute. Laying that aside for a second, the question is, why

24 isn't there enough already -- let me put it like this. What

25 you are asking for, why should you not correspondingly agree

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
9 of 39

1 to allow a quick inspection of these machines? And I guess --

2 you know, I don't know how many counties the Plaintiffs are

3 talking about. I think that Jacobson may be on point. I am

4 not sure yet. I don't know. It seems to me hard to believe

5 that the Plaintiffs should have to sue 159 elections

6 commissioners to get the relief they want. I understand

7 exactly what Jacobson said, but that was a different case.

8 What I am trying to accomplish here is, taking into both

9 sides' consideration, their arguments, their respective

10 positions, but incorporating into them also the law. The

11 Plaintiffs want to seize these and impound these machines for

12 a forensic audit by their experts.

13 Let me go back to Ms. Powell and ask you,

14 Ms. Powell, which machines are we talking about? Are you

15 talking about in every county in Georgia? Where exactly are

16 you talking about?

17 MS. POWELL: No, Your Honor. In our motion we asked

18 specifically for machines in ten counties.

19 THE COURT: Those ten counties that you've

20 highlighted. Okay.

21 MS. POWELL: Yes, sir.

22 THE COURT: And what do you want to do with those

23 machines? How long is it going to take your experts to do

24 their thing on those machines?

25 MS. POWELL: It will take approximately a day of

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
10 of 39

1 time per county, but we can dispatch three separate teams and

2 be able to do the bulk of it I would think within three days.

3 THE COURT: Okay. What do you say in response to

4 Mr. Willard's argument -- I wasn't -- let me go back to

5 Mr. Willard and just make sure I am clear on this.

6 Mr. Willard, specifically with respect to the Clarke County

7 and Oconee County DA's I guess it is a run-off. I don't

8 remember if it's a run-off or a special election. But for the

9 record, which is it, Mr. Willard?

10 MR. WILLARD: It is a special election run-off.

11 THE COURT: Yeah.

12 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, if I can clarify for the

13 record, that is just one example of a race that is scheduled

14 to be run on Tuesday. There are a myriad other races that we

15 anticipate are being held throughout Georgia, we just haven't

16 had the opportunity to compile an exhaustive list.

17 THE COURT: I understand.

18 MR. WILLARD: But we are letting you know that there

19 is a race scheduled for Tuesday.

20 THE COURT: Right. I understand. I guess what I am

21 wondering is -- well, I guess -- let me think this through.

22 It seems to me that the question should be, and we might -- I

23 might give y'all a little bit of time to find this out. Other

24 than the -- are there any elections set in these ten counties

25 that are going to take place this Tuesday, December 1? And if

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
11 of 39

1 so, are the Plaintiffs going to, to get the relief they want,

2 are they going to have to access these machines and not have a

3 -- which would prevent these ten counties from having the

4 machines to use for those Tuesday elections?

5 MR. WILLARD: I'm sorry, Your Honor, is that

6 addressed to me or Ms. Powell?

7 THE COURT: I am kind of thinking out loud and

8 addressing both of you. Basically we have narrowed it from

9 159 down to 10 counties. And the Defendants right now can't

10 tell me, and I don't fault them for that at all, what

11 elections are taking place, if any, in those ten counties this

12 coming Tuesday in two days. So how am I supposed to -- and so

13 that is one issue, is this may be moot if it turns out that

14 there is not even an election taking place in those ten

15 counties on Tuesday, I don't see what the problem would be of

16 me entering a temporary restraining order allowing the

17 Plaintiffs to have quick access to those machines for a

18 forensic examination. On the other hand, if there is going to

19 be an election in any of those ten counties, that raises the

20 question of can they still have the election without those

21 machines. Do you have to look at every single machine? I

22 mean, I don't understand how it works.

23 So I guess I would ask Ms. Powell, let's suppose

24 that in two or three of the ten counties that you are

25 interested in, there are in fact going to be run-off elections

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
12 of 39

1 on Tuesday, December 1. How can your objective be met, your

2 objective being a forensic examination of those machines in

3 those counties if there is going to be an election there on

4 Tuesday?

5 MS. POWELL: We can get experts to them tomorrow,

6 Your Honor. We've got at least three teams of experts that

7 could be dispatched to three separate counties to collect the

8 information from the machines. The important part is, it's

9 not just the data that comes out of the machines that is

10 crucial to the fraud case that is so rampant across the

11 country, it is the fact that an algorithm we believe was

12 uploaded to the Dominion machines that weighted the votes for

13 Mr. Biden over the votes for President Trump at approximately

14 1.22 versus .78, and that is what would change with any

15 alteration of the software that is crucial to making the proof

16 of the fraud absolutely conclusive and irrefutable. We know

17 they have already gone into the machines in Fulton County to

18 change the software with no basis to do so whatsoever. In

19 fact, there is an attorney that contacted me just earlier

20 today, in fact while I was replying to the last message from

21 the Court. I believe her last name is Broyles, a Ms. Broyles,

22 who had been contacted by a witness who was very concerned by

23 what she had seen down at the Center today, and felt like it

24 was an abject pretense that they were going to be redoing all

25 the same ballots and there was no reason to change the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
13 of 39

1 software for any reason whatsoever.

2 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Willard, what is your

3 response to that?

4 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I apologize. I am used to

5 dealing with facts and law, not innuendo and accusation. The

6 bottom line here, the Plaintiffs have sent you a copy of the

7 Curling order which, as I mentioned earlier, is inapposite

8 because it predates Jacobson. But in that case, where the

9 security and reliability of the DRE machines, which have now

10 been retired, even Judge Totenberg recognized that you cannot

11 willy-nilly allow individuals from outside of state and county

12 custody and control procedures to have access to these

13 machines. It poses a security risk for Ms. Powell's minions

14 to go in and image everything, download the software, and

15 figure out for future elections a way to hack in so that their

16 preferred candidates can win. That is in effect what they are

17 seeking here. They want to image, as they just said, not only

18 the data on the machines, but also the entire software package

19 and the security protocols that are set up. That is something

20 that no Federal Court can possibly countenance. Even if they

21 had the appropriate defendants here, which they don't, you

22 cannot allow, during the midst of an election cycle, a third

23 party to come in and get the proverbial keys to the software

24 kingdom. I will say that we are trying to get up to speed on

25 this as much as possible. Our office is not representing the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
14 of 39

1 Secretary in the Curling litigation because our office was

2 forced to declare a conflict several years ago, but we have

3 Conflict Special Attorneys General who have spent months and

4 years dealing with the security of the State's electronic

5 voting system in Federal Court. There was a whole procedure

6 set up where you had a white room established in Virginia

7 where experts were only permitted to go in and inspect a

8 single machine at that white room after security protocols

9 were set in place where they couldn't remove anything from

10 there, where they weren't able to take anything that could

11 later compromise the system with them when they left.

12 MS. POWELL: Well it's a little bit late to be

13 worrying about the compromise of the system. That happened,

14 as we have evidence that both Iran and China were hacking into

15 the system during our election, not to mention any number of

16 other foreign entities and domestic actors as well. The

17 entire system was built to be both hackable from afar and

18 locally to overwrite votes, to overwrite review of signature,

19 to drag and drop ballots into the trash can as wanted. It was

20 conceived and created by Mr. Chavez's regime for the very

21 purpose of ensuring that he won future elections. As corrupt

22 as it could possibly be. And that's the system that the

23 Georgia Secretary of State decided was appropriate to run in

24 Georgia, despite any number of revelations of the myriad

25 problems it has.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
15 of 39

1 THE COURT: The problem I have --

2 MS. POWELL: A two-year-old can hack these machines

3 as they are now, and we are certainly amenable to having an

4 observer and videotaping the process that we use to create the

5 mirror images, and to submitting it and holding it under a

6 protective order.

7 THE COURT: And am I correct in expecting that the

8 Defendants further contend that these are -- there is

9 proprietary information on these machines that should not be

10 publicly disclosed?

11 MR. WILLARD: Yes, Your Honor, as well as from a

12 security protocol standpoint.

13 THE COURT: Right. Okay. Well, here is the

14 problem. It's Sunday, November 29th at 8:12 p.m. This motion

15 did not come in until late Friday night. I was not aware of

16 the motion until Saturday. And the State, including the

17 Secretary of State, the Governor, and the Elections Board

18 members have hardly had any opportunity to respond to these

19 allegations. I don't know if that is anybody's fault. I

20 don't know at this particular point -- I haven't considered

21 the issue of whether the suit should have been brought earlier

22 and the Plaintiffs are guilty of laches. I have no opinion on

23 that issue at this point. But what I do have an opinion on is

24 that the burden is on the Plaintiffs, and the relief that they

25 seek is extraordinary. And although they make allegations of

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
16 of 39

1 tremendous worldwide improprieties regarding the Dominion

2 voting machines, those allegations are supported by precious

3 little proof. Now let's just suppose hypothetically that the

4 obligations are true, and there simply has not been time to

5 marshal the evidence in support of those allegations. The

6 problem with that is that that doesn't create an exception for

7 me as to whether I should grant this extraordinary relief of a

8 temporary restraining order, which of course can only be

9 granted in truly extraordinary circumstances, and the

10 Defendant -- and it's not even clear to the Court that the

11 named Defendants are the proper parties to this lawsuit with

12 respect to this particular form of relief that the Plaintiffs

13 are seeking. So I am going to deny the Plaintiffs' request

14 for a temporary restraining order on the grounds that the

15 Plaintiffs have failed to carry their burden of showing a

16 substantial likelihood, a real likelihood of prevailing on the

17 merits on this claim, or at least I am going to refrain from

18 granting that relief now. If, in the course of discovery in

19 this case, the Plaintiffs become -- the Plaintiffs acquire

20 additional proof that would support their allegations that

21 might make a difference, I am happy to revisit this order.

22 But for now, that is going to be the order of the Court. I am

23 going to deny the request for temporary injunctive relief.

24 And here is what we are going to do regarding the

25 scheduling. The Plaintiffs' response to Defendants' motion

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
17 of 39

1 will be due on Wednesday December 2 by -- I am going to change

2 that to 5 o'clock p.m. Eastern Standard Time. If the

3 Plaintiffs choose to file a reply, it will be due 24 hours

4 after the Defendants' response is filed. And we will have an

5 in-person hearing in my Atlanta courtroom this coming Friday

6 at 10 o'clock a.m. to consider the balance of the claims that

7 have been raised by the Plaintiffs in their complaint. All

8 right. Anything else, Counsel?

9 MR. WOOD: Judge Batten, this is Lin Wood. How are

10 you, sir?

11 THE COURT: Yes, sir. How are you doing, sir?

12 MR. WOOD: I am doing well. Please let me make one

13 request.

14 THE COURT: Okay.

15 MR. WOOD: I understand Your Honor's ruling. I kind

16 of live under the theory that he who has nothing to hide hides

17 nothing. Would there be any way -- would there be any way to

18 give us a very limited, such for example let us go in

19 tomorrow, pick two or three counties, and then randomly two or

20 three machines and do the forensics on that? Because at least

21 we would have some information in the event all of these

22 machines end up being wiped clean? Something very --

23 THE COURT: At first blush, I don't have -- I would

24 not have too much of a problem with that. It certainly is

25 more reasonable than what we have talked about. But the

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
18 of 39

1 problem is, again, the State has represented to me that -- the

2 Defendants have represented to me, through counsel, that there

3 are security concerns that they have, and I am being asked to

4 decide this on a Sunday night, have been received no evidence

5 from the Defendants because they haven't had a chance. So I

6 am going to respectfully deny, Lin, your request. But you

7 know, I am going to leave it with -- it is hard for me to

8 believe -- let me ask this. Let me put it this way. Doesn't

9 sound like 159 counties in Georgia are going to have special

10 run-off elections on Tuesday, special election run-offs, I

11 should say, on Tuesday. Why can't you -- if we can find ways

12 to protect the State's legitimate interest in security and

13 proprietary software, can you not look for the algorithm that

14 you claim is there and any other incriminating evidence from

15 some of the other counties, from one or more of the counties

16 where no election is going to take place Tuesday? Why can't

17 you do that?

18 MR. WOOD: Your Honor, this is Mr. Wood again. We

19 can do that. And in fact, this one solution would be if we

20 identify a very limited number of machines, number of

21 counties, we can have our experts come in and do a mirror

22 image, we can turn it over to the Court so there are no

23 security concerns, and then it can be examined at a different

24 time. But the problem is, once the machines are wiped, the

25 evidence is gone. If there is nothing there, there is nothing

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
19 of 39

1 there. But at least we will have an opportunity to check on a

2 limited basis and we can preserve it and secure the security

3 of it by having our experts, with their oversight, mirror

4 image and then turn it over to the possession of the Court for

5 a later review. But we don't get that opportunity, once lost

6 we will never get it again. I don't see any harm to the State

7 to preserve this information on a very limited basis.

8 THE COURT: Okay, I am having a hard time

9 identifying any such harm myself. Mr. Willard, what would be

10 wrong with the Plaintiffs being granted access to three of the

11 counties not among -- not in any county where there is going

12 to be an election this coming Tuesday, but tomorrow be granted

13 access in three of these where all of the evidence that are

14 obtained by Plaintiffs' experts will be accompanied by

15 forensic experts from the Defendants. I know you may not be

16 able to line that up by tomorrow, so it probably wouldn't be

17 tomorrow, but where we can have a forensic expert with the

18 Plaintiffs on behalf of the Defendants accompanying and

19 overseeing the Plaintiffs' expert's inspection of the

20 machines; and then with all of the data and all of the

21 information obtained from that inspection, or those three

22 inspections, to be turned over to the Court in camera and not

23 provided to Plaintiffs or their counsel or anybody else until

24 further order of the Court? That's -- I want to hear your

25 response, Mr. Willard. But I have to say, at first blush that

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
20 of 39

1 doesn't sound very unreasonable to me. What is the response?

2 And again, we are laying aside for a moment whether or not

3 they have sued the right parties. We are not going to address

4 that yet. But let's assume that they did, and let's assume

5 that they do have standing, what is wrong with that proposal

6 that I have just suggested?

7 MR. WILLARD: Well Your Honor, I think you've hit

8 the nail on the head, and it is sort of impossible to set

9 aside Jacobson. There is no redressability here as to any of

10 these machines right now. They are not in the custody and

11 control of the State Defendants. You can order us every day

12 this week; we cannot give you access to the Hart County voting

13 machines. I cannot go in and tell the Hart County Elections

14 Superintendent to do squat in regards to discovery in a case

15 that they are not a party to. Second, if you are violating

16 trade secrets and security protocols, it doesn't matter if you

17 are doing it for one machine or the entirety of machines. If

18 Plaintiffs' experts are going to come in with a thumb drive

19 and stick it in and take their screwdrivers out and do

20 everything to these machines, we have no safeguards that we

21 can put in place, in this very compressed time frame that

22 Plaintiffs are wanting to have, where you prevent somebody

23 from sticking that thumb drive in their pocket and walking out

24 the door, or doing something else that is going to impact that

25 machine for future elections.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
21 of 39

1 THE COURT: Mr. Wood, I will give you the last word.

2 MR. WOOD: I don't believe we will be using

3 screwdrivers. I think we can do a simple mirror image, they

4 can see it done, and then it will be turned over to the Court.

5 If we've got the wrong parties, we've got the wrong parties.

6 But if we have the right parties, and the Court determines

7 that the Secretary of State does have the authority as we

8 contend that the Secretary of State does, I don't see any

9 harm. We will turn it over to the Court. The battles can be

10 fought. If we win, then we can have -- we can have the

11 examination completed. But if we don't get something, then we

12 end up with nothing, and we don't know whether or not it was

13 erased. I don't see any downside, Your Honor. We turn it

14 over to you and hold it until further rulings in the case. It

15 is just a matter of preserving some reasonably minimum amount

16 of evidence with respect to some of these machines.

17 MS. POWELL: I believe there are no elections Your

18 Honor in Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, or Forsyth, or Paulding, or

19 Hall, or Houston, or Hart, or Hancock, all of which we have

20 requested, or Gwinnett or Henry. In fact, Defendants haven't

21 said where there are any elections at all.

22 THE COURT: Okay.

23 MR. WILLARD: One last point, if I could.

24 THE COURT: Yes.

25 MR. WILLARD: I would point you -- you know, I know

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
22 of 39

1 there has been some question about whether the Jacobson

2 decision applies to voting equipment, and decisions made

3 regarding voting equipment. I would point you to the Anderson

4 case, Anderson versus Raffensperger, decided by Judge Brown

5 last month, the docket number is 1:20-CV-03263. It is a

6 78-page decision, and it is very well-reasoned. And pages 62

7 through 68 go into great detail about how the failure to

8 include county election officials presented a redressability

9 problem. Remember, Your Honor, you didn't choose who the

10 Plaintiffs sued, I didn't choose who the Plaintiffs sued. The

11 Plaintiffs knew or should have been aware of the Jacobson line

12 of cases and its progeny. You --

13 MS. POWELL: Jacobson is Florida law.

14 THE COURT: Let him finish.

15 MR. WILLARD: -- cannot craft relief to county

16 defendants --

17 THE COURT: Go ahead.

18 MR. WILLARD: You cannot craft relief that goes to

19 county defendants and equipment in county custody and control

20 where the Plaintiffs have only chosen to sue State Defendants.

21 THE COURT: Ms. Powell, let me ask you this along

22 those lines of what he is saying. I understand the

23 distinction that the Plaintiffs have argued through their

24 counsel's emails to me today between this case and Jacobson.

25 But you know, it sounds to me that Mr. Willard is probably

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
23 of 39

1 correct that as a matter of fact and law, the Secretary of

2 State can't call up to Marietta and tell the Cobb County

3 elections officials what to do with their machine. What you

4 want to do is access the machine. You are not talking about

5 data results from the election. You want to actually access

6 the physical machines for a forensic inspection. And --

7 MS. POWELL: Your Honor.

8 THE COURT: Just a second. And so this is the first

9 time we are really addressing the redressability issue. Tell

10 me what is the Plaintiffs' response to that.

11 MS. POWELL: The machines are owned by the State of

12 Georgia. They were purchased by the State of Georgia for $107

13 million of taxpayer money. They are controlled by the

14 Secretary of State's office which has legal responsibility

15 both for investigating the fraud and making sure the machines

16 are what are supposed to be used and properly used and

17 enforcing the rules and regulations and laws related to

18 elections for the State of Georgia. It is clear from the

19 Curling decision that we do not have to sue 600 people in 159

20 counties to obtain the relief we want. It couldn't be more

21 clear as a matter of law.

22 MR. WOOD: Judge, could I say one last thing?

23 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

24 MR. WOOD: And I appreciate this has all been done

25 with not a lot of time.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
24 of 39

1 THE COURT: Right.

2 MR. WOOD: Again, if we don't have the correct

3 parties, we can add the correct parties before the Court would

4 release for further examination the materials that we would

5 collect in the next day or two.

6 THE COURT: I don't understand why the Plaintiffs

7 don't just move to add Cobb County as a party to the case, or

8 the Cobb -- I don't know who it is, Cobb County elections

9 officers? I don't know. I am not going to give you a legal

10 opinion.

11 MR. WOOD: Let me say this. If the Court gives us

12 until Tuesday to examine, we will add the counties that the

13 Court lets us go examine, we will add them tomorrow; add them

14 tonight. I just don't think -- I think that is a procedural

15 issue, and ultimately one the Court can decide, but there is

16 no harm, Your Honor, in preserving what could be critical

17 evidence with respect to this election. We are not asking to

18 look at it until we've got it all down pat and Your Honor is

19 satisfied we are entitled to it, but let's preserve at least

20 some small amount reasonably so we don't find ourselves with

21 no evidence simply because the evidence was erased or

22 destroyed. If there is nothing there, there is nothing there.

23 But, Your Honor, if there is something there, then this state

24 has a serious problem. And I think it ought to be in the

25 interest of the taxpayers and the voters that this material,

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
25 of 39

1 on a reasonable basis, limited basis, be preserved so that

2 down the road, if we meet all the other qualifications to have

3 it fully examined, we've at least got it preserved. That

4 seems to me to be in the best interest of the citizens of the

5 State of Georgia.

6 THE COURT: Well let me go back --

7 MS. POWELL: We have obtained access to machines in

8 another state, with no problem of damage to the machines or

9 exposure of trade secrets or any other concern, and in that

10 instance we found that there were 1,474 votes on two rolls on

11 a machine, 1,474 which were changed across the two rolls,

12 almost the same number of voters that voted had their votes

13 completely changed on Dominion machines.

14 THE COURT: Where was that?

15 MS. POWELL: That is a county in Michigan.

16 THE COURT: That was this year?

17 MS. POWELL: Yes, sir. Just a few days ago.

18 THE COURT: Right, okay. And again, just for my

19 factual understanding, Mr. Willard, are you telling me that if

20 I grant this relief, let's say to -- if I were to add a couple

21 of these counties as defendants, or whatever the right entity

22 or person is that should be the defendant, are you telling me

23 that if I grant this relief for this forensic inspection,

24 there is no way that any election run-off can take place on

25 Tuesday in that county? Or do you know?

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
26 of 39

1 MR. WILLARD: That is my understanding right now.

2 Once again, I am working on Sunday night at 8:28 p.m. and

3 something that I've been aware of for a little over 24 hours.

4 But at this point in time, Your Honor has already indicated

5 which way he was going to rule, and now Plaintiffs are trying

6 to shift the ground underneath us. The fact is, as I

7 indicated to your clerk last night, Ms. McGowan and I have now

8 given up the entirety of our Sunday, we have responded in a

9 timely fashion, at the Court's request, first on a

10 three-and-a-half-hour turnaround, and then on an hour

11 turnaround, substantively responding to Plaintiffs' arguments.

12 And their responses have been long on rhetoric and short on

13 any authority. We are at a situation now where if the Court

14 is willing to do what it said it was going to do earlier in

15 this call and earlier this evening via email and deny relief,

16 we go on and we prepare for the Friday hearing. If the Court

17 is inclined to grant the relief, we would ask you to certify

18 it so that we can immediately take it up to the 11th Circuit

19 and the 11th Circuit can reassure the Plaintiff that it meant

20 what it said when it ruled in Jacobson.

21 THE COURT: All right, I am going to have to think

22 about it. I am not sure yet what I am going to do, but I need

23 to do some research and think about it a little bit. I am

24 trying to -- I would like, Mr. Willard -- I am sure we are

25 going to talk again tomorrow. I guess we ought to just --

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
27 of 39

1 let's plan on an 11 o'clock Zoom hearing tomorrow to address

2 some of these issues. And I am going to want to know -- let

3 me just say, in terms of what I am thinking out loud is that

4 if I were to allow -- let me first ask this question of

5 Ms. Powell and Mr. Wood. If I were to allow the forensic

6 inspection of either the Cobb or Gwinnett or Cherokee or Hart,

7 whatever -- wouldn't it just be sufficient to add one of those

8 counties? If it is the same machine?

9 MS. POWELL: No, Your Honor. The counties can read

10 differently. We really request Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee

11 counties at the bare minimum.

12 THE COURT: Okay. I hear you.

13 MS. POWELL: And we can add those as Defendants

14 tonight if that is important to the Court. I really don't

15 think it's necessary as a matter of law, but we can certainly

16 add them.

17 THE COURT: Who exactly would you move to add?

18 MS. POWELL: The Board of Elections of each -- all

19 the members of the boards of those four counties. We would

20 have to add 12 people.

21 THE COURT: I heard three counties. Cobb, Gwinnett,

22 and Cherokee.

23 MS. POWELL: Three counties, but four people per

24 county, is my understanding.

25 THE COURT: Okay. Here is what I would like to do.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
28 of 39

1 Mr. Willard, if you could tell me when we resume tomorrow at

2 11:00, if you could tell me, having done a little research,

3 what impact, if any, allowing this forensic examination on

4 these three counties' machines would have on the elections

5 that are supposed to take place Tuesday? It may be that there

6 is no election in any of those counties, there may be an

7 election in all three of them. I have no idea.

8 MS. POWELL: It is my understanding, Your Honor,

9 there is no election in those three counties.

10 THE COURT: Let me have that confirmed. I will give

11 Mr. Willard a chance to confirm that tomorrow. And also --

12 MR. WILLARD: That was Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee.

13 Correct, Your Honor?

14 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

15 MS. POWELL: Correct.

16 THE COURT: I want to hear a little more on the

17 issue of how would -- you know, one of the issues in the

18 decision of whether to grant injunctive relief is what harm

19 the party opposing the injunction would suffer if the relief

20 were granted. That is one of the four factors that I am sure

21 all of you know quite well, I certainly would expect that you

22 do. I know you do. I would like to hear, Mr. Willard, from

23 you tomorrow morning if you could please tell me -- if you

24 could answer that question for me. What harm would it do the

25 State or to these Defendants, including any newly added

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
29 of 39

1 Defendants, if I were to grant that relief?

2 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I will do my best, but it

3 may not be me on the call. As I indicated to your clerk,

4 we've got two brief responses in the Woods case due on

5 Tuesday. We've already had to give up our Sunday responding

6 to this, after I asked your clerk last night not to schedule

7 anything until after those briefs were filed. Now because of

8 Plaintiffs' shifting demands, they want to go forward with a

9 hearing in the morning. Whoever is going to respond to that

10 hearing is going to have to take time away from getting the

11 responses filed in the 11th Circuit on Tuesday, including our

12 client, in the midst of an ongoing state-wide recount for

13 President, in the midst of conducting and supporting county

14 election officials with the December 1st election, as well as

15 getting ready for early and advanced voting for the January

16 5th election. We --

17 THE COURT: I understand, Mr. Willard. Let me ask a

18 question of Ms. Powell. If there are in fact no elections

19 taking place in those three counties, why does this have to be

20 done tomorrow? Why do we have to have the answer to this by

21 tomorrow or Tuesday?

22 MS. POWELL: Time is of the essence, Your Honor, on

23 the entire election proceeding.

24 THE COURT: I got you. In other words, the general

25 time-is-of-the-essence principle. It sounds to me like having

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
30 of 39

1 a response by 11:00 tomorrow is not necessary and would be

2 unreasonable to expect the Secretary of State, the Governor

3 and the Elections Board Defendants to be able to respond so

4 quickly. So here is what I am going to do. I am going to

5 reserve ruling. I am going to keep the schedule regarding

6 briefing and the hearing, and I am going to reserve ruling on

7 the Plaintiffs' request -- I am going to consider it a motion

8 to amend the pleadings, and a motion to add as parties these

9 elections officers in Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee counties.

10 I want the Secretary of State to let me know -- I will give

11 you a deadline in the second, but what I want the Secretary of

12 State and the other Defendants to let me know is what

13 opposition, if any, they have or what conditions they would

14 like to see complied with if these machines are going to be

15 inspected. In other words, if they want their own inspector

16 there, et cetera. I agree with Ms. Powell on the general

17 principle that time is of the essence, but it is not at all

18 reasonable to give the Defendants in this case until 11

19 o'clock tomorrow morning. There is just no way they can do

20 that. I am trying to decide right now how much time to give

21 them. It certainly is going to be this week. I guess,

22 Mr. Willard, what I would like you to do is let me know, as

23 soon as you find out, but in any event you are going to have

24 to let me know by Wednesday. That is what my first blush

25 issue is this issue. I just don't see what the urgency is.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT

1 The case will still be pending after this week. So I just --

2 you know, I understand the -- I completely understand the

3 general urgency of the case, but the Defendants have got to

4 have a little bit of time to provide that information I want,

5 which again namely is whether they would oppose these three

6 counties' machines being forensically examined, and why they

7 would -- what the basis for any such opposition would be, and

8 I would want that supported with an affidavit or affidavits

9 from an expert or experts or somebody affiliated with the

10 Defendants who could provide evidence to why that would be

11 harmful. Again, we are focusing on the -- I believe is the

12 third prong -- I may have them in the wrong order -- of the

13 four-part test, which is what the harm would be to the party

14 opposing the injunctive relief. So that is going to be the

15 order of the Court. And I will --

16 MR. KLEINHENDLER: Your Honor.

17 THE COURT: Yes, sir?

18 MR. KLEINHENDLER: I wanted to make one point here.

19 And that is, I understand the State's concern about having us

20 go in and look at their machines. However, what we have

21 alleged with affidavit testimony is that they are erasing

22 their machines. So while they are thinking about what the

23 harm is, and while they are figuring out where their elections

24 are that they can't identify, at a minimum, Your Honor, where

25 there are no elections to be taking place, there should be an

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
32 of 39

1 order entered now that no machine should be erased. Because

2 that is very troubling, it is spoliation, it's irreparable

3 injury. That is point one. I want to make one other point

4 for you, Your Honor. They mentioned that the county is under

5 an obligation to preserve the evidence of the election. Let

6 me explain to you what they preserve. They have these

7 machines that people vote on, and they produce these memory

8 cards. They make a copy of the memory card, but the machine

9 stays the same. It's sort of like you have an iPhone --

10 THE COURT: I understand.

11 MR. KLEINHENDLER: You can take out the sim, right?

12 THE COURT: Right.

13 MR. KLEINHENDLER: So I would ask Your Honor to

14 please order no more erasing machines that are not being --

15 THE COURT: Okay.

16 MR. KLEINHENDLER: -- used for these local

17 elections --

18 THE COURT: That sounds reasonable to me,

19 Mr. Willard, until we resolve this in just a few days. Do

20 your clients have any objection to that? The way I would

21 phrase it, and I am going to give you a chance to respond to

22 this, but my inclination is to order and temporarily restrain

23 the Defendants to the extent it is within their lawful

24 authority, from altering or destroying or erasing or allowing

25 the alteration, destruction, or erasing of any of the computer

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
33 of 39

1 information on any of the machines in these three counties

2 that we discussed, specifically Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee.

3 What is y'all's response? What is the State's response to

4 that, Mr. Willard?

5 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, I will say that there are

6 no State officials, there is no one within the direction and

7 control of any of the named State Defendants who is going to

8 be doing anything in regards to this voting equipment this

9 week or in the coming months. So you still have the same

10 redressability issue. You can order us to stop all you want,

11 but if we are not the ones behind the wheel, it is not doing

12 anything.

13 THE COURT: Well then I would think that the

14 Defendants wouldn't have any problem being ordered to stop.

15 If they are not doing anything, there is nothing for them to

16 stop. So that is going to be another feature of this order.

17 And we are not going to enter a written order, it will be in

18 the transcript. But again, to the extent that it's within the

19 Defendants' lawful authority, they shall not alter, destroy,

20 or erase any of this information from any of these three

21 computers, nor will they allow anyone within their control and

22 authority, legal authority, from doing any of those things.

23 It sounds to me like you've been put on notice, Plaintiffs'

24 counsel, by Mr. Willard, quite clearly that you need to direct

25 these concerns towards these county officials. The State, in

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
34 of 39

1 this -- obviously the Defendants in this case are disavowing

2 any authority or any responsibility or connection with these

3 county machines in this sense, they are not going to be going

4 down to any -- they are not going down to Lawrenceville or

5 Canton, or Marietta to try to erase any of these machines, the

6 concern that -- is Mr. Kleinhendler?

7 MR. KLEINHENDLER: Kleinhendler, Your Honor.

8 THE COURT: I was close. Closer than you usually

9 get, I'll bet. So let's do that. Why don't we do this, why

10 don't we have a Zoom call tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock

11 where we will wait to hear back from someone on behalf of the

12 Defendants, if it is either Mr. Willard or someone else, to

13 respond, and let us know if there is something that the Court

14 is missing regarding the inspection, the forensic examination

15 of these machines. So my --

16 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor?

17 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

18 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, we have moved again from

19 Wednesday. To say --

20 THE COURT: All I want tomorrow, Rus, is an update.

21 If they can give us an update. If you want to update. In

22 fact, I will leave it like that. But if you want to update

23 us, just let us know tomorrow, and we'll be ready for a call

24 at 4 o'clock. But if you don't have anything to report

25 tomorrow, that is perfectly fine. I understand the competing

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
35 of 39

1 interests that the Defendants have. They are trying to juggle

2 a lot of balls in the air at one time. I understand that.

3 Let me know if you know something tomorrow. And if not -- I

4 guess, you know, I am -- I have to admit, you know, when I

5 think out loud like this, which is not something judges enjoy

6 doing because it gets pointed out to them that they are

7 changing their mind. And I am inclined to agree with

8 Mr. Willard on this. Let's wait until Wednesday to hear back

9 from Mr. Willard. How about something in writing,

10 Mr. Willard, by the same time that the brief is due on

11 Wednesday, 5:00 p.m., in response to this inquiry that the

12 Court has as to the basis for any opposition by the Defendants

13 to this particular relief regarding the forensic examination

14 of the Dominion equipment in these three counties. That is

15 what the order of the Court is going to be. And contrary to

16 what I said a minute ago, I will put it in writing so everyone

17 can see it and it will be clear and you don't have to read the

18 transcript. That order will be entered either tonight or

19 more -- I would say almost certainly not until tomorrow

20 morning. Okay? Anything else, Counsel? Yes, sir?

21 MR. WILLARD: Just two procedural points. One, do

22 you want as a unified filing on Wednesday, or do you want us

23 to make them as two separate filings?

24 THE COURT: Separate filings.

25 MR. WILLARD: All right. So I won't need, I think

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
36 of 39

1 at this juncture, to ask for a page limit extension, but I may

2 revisit that issue with the Court.

3 THE COURT: You can have however many pages you

4 need. There is no limit on the pages.

5 MR. MACDOUGALD: The Plaintiffs as well, Your Honor?

6 THE COURT: The Plaintiffs' response as well.

7 MR. MACDOUGALD: Thank you.

8 MR. WILLARD: Your Honor, the second point, and now

9 that you have said that you are going to reduce this to

10 writing, I know that there has been a lot of rumor, innuendo,

11 and misinformation spread out there regarding what has taken

12 place in a number of courts around the country, and this Court

13 today, there were a number of social media posts made about

14 this Court's indication of the two earlier rulings.

15 THE COURT: Right.

16 MR. WILLARD: I ask you to make clear in your order

17 that only the State Defendants are being enjoined by anything

18 in your order and it is not enjoining any county officials

19 from doing anything.

20 THE COURT: Not at this time. They are not parties

21 to the case yet.

22 MR. WILLARD: Thank you.

23 MR. WOOD: Judge, for what it's worth, when we add

24 them tonight, we will be sending spoliation litigation hold

25 letters. I think they have already received those a week ago,

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
37 of 39

1 but we will redo it.

2 THE COURT: And Mr. Willard, just to be clear, you

3 are referring to -- you refer to the Governor and the

4 Secretary of State, not the other members of the Elections

5 Board? Is that right?

6 MR. WILLARD: I am actually referring -- I'm sorry?

7 THE COURT: The Governor and the Secretary of State.

8 Let's see, of course I don't -- the Governor is a party and of

9 course the Secretary of State is a party, and then we have

10 the --

11 MR. WILLARD: The Election Board --

12 THE COURT: -- four other Election Board members.

13 And what you just wanted to make clear to me, or clarify with

14 me, was that it was your understanding that the order I am

15 going to enter would only be enjoining the Governor and the

16 Secretary of State and not the four Election Board members who

17 are also named as Defendants. Am I right about that?

18 MR. WILLARD: No, Your Honor. I am requesting that

19 you make clear in your order that only the State Defendants

20 are enjoined, and there is no injunction against any of the

21 unnamed county defendants.

22 MR. KLEINHENDLER: Your Honor, this is Howard again.

23 I think your language earlier was right on. You said you are

24 going to enjoin the State Defendants and anybody in their

25 control. And our argument is that all these counties are

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
38 of 39

1 under the control of the Secretary of State. So now if the

2 State wants to play a game and say, well, we have no ability

3 to control the counties, okay, we will deal with that on a

4 sanctions motion. But I think you were very clear, Your

5 Honor, anybody -- the Defendants and anybody under their

6 control. What the State is asking for now is to wiggle out of

7 that order, and I would urge you not to give to them that

8 language. It is enough for you to say the Defendants in the

9 case and anybody under their control.

10 THE COURT: Okay. I understand the issue. The only

11 point I was trying to make with Mr. Willard was I was trying

12 to see if he was trying to exclude the Governor. I understand

13 that his main point was really that I was not ordering

14 directly any county officials to do or not do anything. I

15 understand that that is what he was saying. I think I

16 understand it. I am actually clear on it. So I think

17 everybody has their marching orders, we know what to do. I am

18 the one that has to move next. I have to enter an order that

19 clarifies all of this, and I think I do that with no problem.

20 It will probably be in the morning, okay?

21 MR. MACDOUGALD: Judge, one housekeeping matter. In

22 terms of serving future papers and filings on the Defendants,

23 can we agree or can the Court order that service on

24 Mr. Willard and Ms. McGowan is sufficient service on the State

25 Defendants?

U.S. DISTRICT COURT


LORI BURGESS, RMR
39 of 39

1 THE COURT: I can't order them to waive their right

2 to be served.

3 MR. MACDOUGALD: Okay, but what we would have to do

4 otherwise is send the papers directly to the State Defendants.

5 THE COURT: Right. That is a matter for you and

6 Mr. Willard to discuss when I am not on the line. If the

7 Defendants want to acknowledge and waive service that is fine,

8 and if they don't that is not something that I am going to

9 upset with a ruling.

10 MR. MACDOUGALD: Okay.

11 THE COURT: We are adjourned, and you will hear from

12 me in the morning. Y'all have a good night.

13 (End of hearing at 8:48 p.m.)
