Analysis of the election management system (EMS) used in Antrim County, Michigan, in last November’s election reveals a critical error failsafe, used to guard against votes being erroneously switched between candidates, failed to activate. It is the biggest indication so far that fraud took place in the election say those close to the case.
A near 7,000 vote swing was discovered in the weeks after Election Day that originally had Joe Biden winning Antrim County. President Trump, it would later be shown, actually won the county by nearly 4,000 votes, capturing approximately 66% of ballots cast.
Democratic officials have claimed the vote swing was the result of first a computer glitch and then “human error.” Further investigation has discredited those claims.
A report published in March by J. Alex Halderman, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, alleges the vote switch in Antrim County stemmed from last minute errors discovered on printed ballots which were corrected at certain points in the system but not in all.
As a result of those errors Halderman claimed, “the EMS ignored most votes intended for Biden, reported all votes intended for Trump as votes for Biden, and reported all votes intended for [Libertarian candidate Jo] Jorgensen as votes for Trump.”
A new analysis, published by attorney Matt DePerno and his team, debunks Halderman’s report. It finds the EMS did not allow for votes to be “ignored” or to be shifted to an “undervote” category as Halderman claimed.
If Halderman’s findings were accurate, DePerno’s team claims, large numbers of votes would have been shifted from Biden to Rocky De La Fuente (the Natural Law Party Candidate) because votes were shifted to the next candidate above the candidate voted for on the ballots.
Importantly, it further finds that a transfer of votes to an “undervote” category as Halderman alleges, would have “properly reported a critical error and shut down the tabulator when there were votes shifted between contests.”
Systems vulnerability expert Jeffrey Lenberg found that running similar scenarios caused the voting tabulators or machines to shut down, but when the same scenarios were run through the EMS no errors were reported and votes were reported as blanks or undervotes, instead of as the critical error.
“[The failsafe] didn’t happen because in the background they subverted the critical errors intentionally and allowed the election to continue,” attorney Matt DePerno told Steve Bannon on the Warroom broadcast this morning.
“That means fraud in the coding process, fraud in the election reporting process, fraud in the results reporting process and fraud by the Secretary of State in Michigan when she declared that this was the safest election in the history of the country and this was human error.”
DePerno has been litigating the case brought by Michigan resident Bill Bailey claiming election fraud since November. The case has resulted in the only forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines anywhere in the country.
He has been trying for months to draw attention to the case but says he has faced a complete blackout from the mainstream media. Last week that changed when outlets like The Washington Post and the Associated Press reached out to him.
“This is so interesting,” DePerno told ITN last week. “No one has asked me about the significance of the actual content. They’ve only asked me about the process of how we got the machines.”
