The Arizona Nuclear Earthquake, “The Election Should Not be Certified”

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.
 The election should not be certified,” the independent forensic auditors reported to the Arizona Senate, Friday afternoon Sept. 24, 2021. There were thousands of “continual and repeated access to the internet.” Continuing, “It really boils down to election accountability and making sure our elections are secure and I will tell you they are NOT, based on any measure.”
 The thousands of labor hours and 140TB’s of storage data of the Arizona Forensic Audit is, in thoroughness and effect, equivalent to a nuclear earthquake. “From the totality of what these findings are, there simply is no accountability by anyone accessing these devices, you had shared passwords, you had shared user accounts, you had remote access. If someone could get access to this system, they wouldn’t need a Zero Day Exploit. The systems were so far out of date, from a security compliance standpoint, it would have taken the average kitty hacker less than 10 minutes using Metasploit to hack this system. And I would like to remind everyone that’s listening to this, that when you have a network of computers, like you have in these voting systems, it only takes one person bringing in a little Hockey Puck with admin access to provide external remote access to that voting system.”
 Some of the biggest anomalies were 27,807 ballots cast by those who had moved prior to the election. There were 9,041 more ballots returned by voters than received by voters. There were 5,295 voters that potentially voted in multiple counties. Official results do not match those who voted, for another 3,432. There were more duplicate votes than original ballots for another 2,592. There were 1,551 voters counted in excess of voters who voted. All this was from but one of Arizona’s 15 counties. Imagine what the whole state might show.
 These and other anomalies not listed add up to at least 57,734 compromised ballots. Remember the margin of victory for the entire state was 10,457 votes, almost six times the margin of victory in the presidential race from this county alone.
 The audit was presented in three parts: envelopes, ballots and digital analysis. The envelopes were evaluated by Dr Shiva who found more than 17,000 duplicates and 34,440 votes from those who voted more than once. These two categories alone total 51,440 phantom voters. Throwing out the duplicate votes by itself in just Maricopa County would hand the state to Donald Trump. Shiva also noted that they counted ballot signatures even when they were unsigned, which normally disqualifies them.
 Doug Logan CEO of Cyber Ninjas examined the ballots. He found 255,326 early votes that show in the VM55 that do not have a corresponding EV33 entry. There were 9,000 more ballots returned than sent, 3,432 more cast votes than voters, 397 mail in ballots returned that showed as never sent. He also found that 23,344 people voted via mail in ballot, even though they showed as having moved and no one with that last name shows as living at that address. There were also 2,382 people who voted in person after having moved out of the county. Each of these statistics suggested corruption.
 Ben Cotton, CEO of Cipher, did the digital analysis. His findings led this column. In addition to finding “clearly, these devices have continual and repeated access to the internet,” he added, “when booted the EMR system attempted to connect to the internet,” despite the county’s claims that the system could not.
 The election was not just ethically flawed there existed evidence of a coverup as well. Cotton found that more than a million files had been deleted beginning November 1, 2020 primarily in batches. He observed that log entry overwrites, using the MS admin username were specifically set up, and did overwrite logs on at least three occasions: 462 on January 1, 2021, 37,686 on March 3, 2021, and 330 on April 12, 2021. There was also deletion of log files the day before the data was to be turned over to the auditors. Federal law requires that all election records be preserved for 22 months.
 Instead, votes were illegally altered. Cotton spoke of “large purges of registered voters right after the election of people who had voted in the election, there was backdating of registrations, adjustments made to the historical voting and voter records files were missing, ballot images on the Ms were corrupt or missing, logs appear to be intentionally rolled over and deleted.”
 But something very unexpected happened. The auditors knew the date and time of the alleged crimes because of the logs and with the cameras in the room they were able to identify the persons erasing of the log files. They caught them. The Senate chamber erupted in applause.
 The law, 52 U.S.C. § 20511 U.S. Code, clearly criminalizes these practices, “A person, … who in any election for Federal office (2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair, and impartially conducted election process” either in “submission of voter registration applications” or “tabulation of ballots” is either heavily fined or imprisoned for up to 5 years, or both.
 Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich promises to act on “any criminal activity.” From this audit it looks like he will be very busy.
 The auditors have not finished their report as Maricopa County Supervisors turned over only about half of the required documents and still refuse to surrender the routers and Dominion machines. So we cannot yet dismiss the possibility of foreign assistance in election fraud but, given the resistance to provide this data, this and other Arizona Nuclear Earthquakes are likely.
