Election Integrity Group Calls on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to ‘Unplug the Dominion Voting System’ Following Halderman Report

An election integrity group is calling on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “unplug” the Dominion Voting Systems across Georgia following an expert report evaluating the security of the state’s voting equipment.

VoterGA is a nonprofit organization which investigated and allegedly found forensic evidence of manipulation and fraud in the 2020 election. The organization was founded by Garland Favorito, who has nearly 20 years of experience researching electronic voting systems and more than four decades of information technology experience.

Last month, a report authored by University of Michigan computer science professor Alex Halderman was made public. The 96-page report, ordered to assist in the lawsuit, Curling v. Raffensperger, explained how ballot scanners and ballot marking devices manufactured by Dominion suffer from “critical vulnerabilities that can be exploited to subvert all of its security mechanisms.”

In regards to making the current voting systems “more secure,” Halderman suggested “changes” to the machine’s software; however, noted in the report that “merely patching these specific problems is unlikely to make the [voting systems] substantially more secure.”

In a statement, VoterGA called on Raffensperger to “unplug” Dominion voting machines, saying, “The recently unsealed Halderman Security Analysis explains that the Dominion voting system was not designed, engineered or tested with the necessary security provisions and cannot be retrofitted to satisfactorily include them…The obvious solution to this problem is to unplug Georgia from the voting system. Voters must cast hand-marked paper ballots on security grade paper, hand counted in public at polling locations.”

In response to the Halderman report, Raffensperger has claimed that “Georgia’s election system is secure,” adding that there are “layers of security protocols and procedures to physically protect ballots, the system, the software, and the results.”

In wake of his refusal to unplug all Dominion voting machines, VoterGA further called on Raffensperger to “unseal all paper ballots the system has produced and will produce in the future.”

“Publicly available ballots are necessary to verify electronic results and detect counterfeit ballots as soon as results are certified. Therefore, we call upon Secretary Raffensperger to immediately request Superior Courts statewide to unseal all paper ballots for the 2020, 2022, and 2024 elections. Georgians deserve honest proof of secure, transparent elections,” VoterGA added.
