The petition filed this week also says
Raffensperger improperly certified the
Dominion system after failing to designate
a certification agent; failing to issue a report
prior to certification; using the wrong technical
testing standards; failing to certify electronic
pollbooks, which are an integrated part of the
system; and failing to include security testing.
Another problem the petitioners point to
is that Dominion’s system records ballots in
chronological order, with timestamps kept on
memory cards in encrypted records. Election
insiders or hackers with access to decrypted
data could use these records to connect a voter
with his ballot, violating the requirement for
secret ballots, the petition says.
“Voters will no longer tolerate unauditable
electronic voting systems in Georgia, and are
taking back control of their elections through
actions like this petition that officials cannot
ignore,” said Marilyn Marks, executive director
of the Coalition for Good Governance.
The organization was a driving force behind
the petition and is a plaintiff in the lawsuit
before Totenberg.
