Flash Card Initialized, Anonymous Log-In Discovered at County Office in Michigan 24 Hours After Election Day

Headlines Politics Technology U.S. Videos

Flash cards were inexplicably initialized at, and users anonymously logged into, the County Office in Antrim County, Michigan, in the days and weeks immediately following Election Day in November. The revelation was discovered by the forensic team hired by attorney Matt DePerno.

DePerno has been litigating a case in Antrim County, Michigan, since December. That case has resulted in the only forensic examination of Dominion Systems voting machines conducted in the nation so far.

Despite the case being dismissed last month DePerno and his cyber team continue to uncover irregularity that took place in November election in Michigan.

“We have an affidavit from a township clerk that says she was asked to bring her tabulator and ballots to the county clerk’s office on November 5th without explanation. [That’s] something that’s never been done before,” DePerno tells ITN.

“She does that and then the log files tell us that November 5th around 10:20am someone initializes a compact flash card in the county office but then they don’t do anything for the rest of the day. Then at 5:55pm there’s remote access by an anonymous user [with] elevated privileges into the system. And then the next morning the employees come back into the office and they appear to run the election again.”

“Why did they initialize the compact flash card and not do anything the rest of the day?” DePerno asked. “They leave, they go home, and someone accesses – remotely – the system. And then the employees come back the next morning and run the election as if nothing happened.”

“And the same thing happened on November 17th when they were prepared to do another recount, which they did, and then reported additional results on November 21st. So it happened twice.”

“The question is, number one, how do you remotely access the system as an anonymous user with escalated privileges – meaning you should have a username and password in order to have administrative privileges. As an anonymous user you shouldn’t have those privileges,” DePerno added.

“How do they access it remotely, is another question. But they did that. And those dates correspond exactly with them rerunning the election, reporting the results on the 6th and reporting the results on the 21st,” DePerno says.

A swing of nearly 7,000 votes from President Trump to Joe Biden was discovered in Antrim County following Election Day. That vote swing was initially called a “computer glitch” before being dismissed simply as “human error” by Michigan Democratic officials.

DePerno and his expert team have dispelled that notion.

The Antrim County case was dismissed last month by Thirteenth Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer. Elsenheimer made a point of saying that his dismissal was not a judgement on the evidence however, but rather a determination on the Secretary of State’s authority to review elections. He deemed that authority to be nearly absolute.

DePerno and his team never stopped working on the case and have since filed a motion to reconsider with the court based on this and other new evidence. There is no date set for Judge Elsenheimer to rule on that motion.

More than 10,000 affidavits demanding a full forensic audit, similar to the one taking place in Maricopa County, Arizona, were signed by Michigan residents over the last several weeks. Volunteers attempted to deliver those affidavits to the offices of Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson this week. Staff at the office building rubber stamped the receipt form for the ballots after repeatedly refusing to sign it.

DePerno says this kind of behavior is deliberate, as it allows Michigan state politicians to continue to claim they have not been presented with evidence proving election irregularities.

“I’ve offered every one of these [Michigan State] Senators and Representatives the opportunity to come and have a private session with me and my expert witnesses to be fully briefed on everything we’ve put up so far. If they want to watch us run ballots, we’ll do it. We’ll show them exactly how the system works.”

“They just say, ‘no we haven’t seen any evidence of fraud.’ Well, we’re showing it to you,” DePerno said.

“I have been told that the caucus has been directed to not have a meeting with me, to not look at our evidence, to not read my briefs because if they read them they will no longer be able to say they haven’t seen evidence of fraud.”
