The Kraken Released: Dominion Contractor Says Michigan Vote Counters Ran Same Ballots Through Machines Over and Over

Headlines Politics U.S.

In much anticipated court filings, attorney Sidney Powell, lays out allegations of massive and vast election fraud that took place throughout the United States using easily manipulated voter software.

In a series titled “The Kraken Released,” (Named after Powell’s assertion that through this lawsuit she would be “releasing the Kraken,” a mythical creature of immense size and consequence) ITN is analyzing the court filings page by page and detailing the allegations and the relief sought by Powell in the states of Georgia and Michigan.

Powell’s court filing in Michigan includes a sworn affidavit from an IT contractor working with Dominion Systems.

From Exhibit 5 of Powell’s filing:

  1. My name is Mellissa A. Carone, I was contracted by Dominion Voting Services to do IT work at the TCF Center for the November 3, 2020 election, and I am a resident of Wayne County.
  2. I arrived at the TCF Center at approximately 6: 15 AM November 3, 2020 and worked until 4:00 AM November 4, 2020. I went home to get some sleep, then arrived back at the TCF Center at I0:00 AM in which l stayed until I:45 PM. During this time I witnessed nothing but fraudulent actions take place.
  3. The counters (which were trained very little or not at all), were handed a “batch” (stack of 50) of mail-in ballots in which they would run through the tabulator. The tabulators would get jammed 4-5 times an hour, when they jammed the computer would put out an error that tells the worker the ballot number that was jammed and gives an option to either discard the batch or continue scanning at which the counter should discard the batch, put the issue ballot on top of the batch and rescan the entire batch. I witnessed countless workers rescanning the batches without discarding them first which resulted in ballots being counted 4-5 times.
  4. At approximately midnight I was called over to assist one of the counters with a paper jam and noticed his PC had a number of over 400 ballots scanned- which means one batch was counted over 8 times. This happened countless times while I was at the TCF Center. I confronted my manager, Nick lkonomakis saying how big of a problem this was, Nick told me he didn’t want to hear that we have a big problem. He told me we are here to do assist with IT work, not to run their election.
