Tallying
All counters were Maricopa residents who voted in the last election.
Each person

was run through a standard background check.
All three counters counted “blind” without any talking.
Roughly every ~50 ballots tallies were compared and needed to agree or be redone.

Ballots & Tallying

Слайд 15

Ballots & Tallying - Background
Ballots that are damaged or can’t be processed

by a tabulator are duplicated.
Damaged Sent to Duplicates (DSD) are the originals, DUPs the Duplicate.
There should be one DSD per DUP.
There should be a unique serial number to match up a DSD to its DUP.
Duplicate ballots should be stored separately from original ballots.

out

Слайд 25

Election System Balance
If the following situation happened
10 people mailed in a ballot
10

people voted early in person
10 people voted on election day in person

Official Results – MC Forensic Audit

You would expect
The Official Canvas has a total of 30 votes across all the candidates / precincts etc.
The VM55 should show a list of 30 people:
10 people who voted via mail-in
10 via Early Voting in Person
10 via Election Day in person
EV32 Sents would show 10 ballots mailed
EV33 Returns would show 10 mail-in ballots received, and 10 mail-in ballots for EV In Person

None of these system balance.

Слайд 26

Official Results – MC Forensic Audit
Findings
Official Canvass has 3,432 more ballots cast

than the list of people who show as having cast a vote (VM55)
9,041 mail-in voters show returning more ballots (EV33) than they were sent (EV32).
277 Precincts show in the Official Canvass as having more ballots cast than people who showed up to vote (VM55) for a total of 1,551 excess votes.
There are 2,472 ballots shown in EV33 that don’t have corresponding entries in the VM55, and only 2,042 ballots show as rejected in the Official Canvas for a discrepancy of 430.
397 mail-in ballots show as received (EV33) that never show as sent (EV32).
255,326 Early Votes show in the VM55 that do not have a corresponding EV33 entry.

Слайд 27

Voters Who Moved

Слайд 28

Moving - Background
Individuals who voted were compared against a commercial database called

Melissa to see who moved before the October 5th cutoff. Melissa Personator
Checks addresses associated with a user
Shows prior and current addresses
Tracks moves and move dates
Tracks date-of-birth and death dates

Moving– MC Forensic Audit

Слайд 29

Moving – MC Forensic Audit
Findings
23,344 voters voted via mail-in ballot even though

they show in Melissa as having moved, and no one with the same last name shows as living at the address.
2,382 voters voted in-person even though they show in Melissa as having moved out of Maricopa County.
2,081 voters moved out-of-state during the 29 days before the election and were given a full ballot instead of a presidential-only ballot.

Слайд 30

Voter Rolls

Слайд 31

Voter Rolls - Background
Registration dates do not generally change unless to correct

a mistake.

Official Results – MC Forensic Audit

Слайд 32

Voter Rolls - Background
AFFSEQ is a unique number found in the voter

roll system that is associated with a single transaction to a single user.
That change transaction has an image to go along with it to reference the document that authorized the change.
AFFSEQ’s should be unique and only happen once and definitely shouldn’t be shared by users.
A.R.S. 16-152 requires that complete names be used.
