In order to understand why the Maricopa Audits are the most in-depth Election Fraud Audits ever performed, you first have to understand: The Small World of Voting Machine Certification by @themarketswork (https://web.archive.org/web/20210107103602/https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-small-world-of-voting-machine-certification_3587972.html) Tiny, understaffed federal agency and 2 private testing labs responsible for certification of nation's voting systems. A deeper look into the certification process used for the machines, however, reveals that the main certification agency in the United States—the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC)—maintains an unexpectedly small staff, and one of its chief employees is a former executive of Dominion Voting Systems. Furthermore, it appears the bulk—if not all—of the testing of the election equipment is conducted by only two companies, Pro V&V and SLI Compliance. Electronic voting systems have become increasingly incorporated into the election process, raising concerns over their security, reliability, and accuracy in the process. Lightly-staffed federal agencies that appear to maintain overly close ties to the companies they are supposed to be monitoring raises additional questions about the thoroughness and integrity of the verification process. Kathy Boockvar, just two weeks after she was appointed as Pennsylvania’s secretary of the commonwealth, concluded in a Jan. 17, 2019, report (pdf) that Dominion’s “Democracy Suite 5.5A” voting machine “can be safely used by voters at elections,” and certified the Dominion voting systems in Pennsylvania. Representing Dominion in that process was Jessica Bowers, director of certification for Dominion. In addition to Pennsylvania, Bowers appears to have been responsible for the implementation of Dominion systems into a number of other states, including California, Colorado, Nevada, and Tennessee. However, after enjoying a 10-year career at Dominion, Bowers would find her way into a new career path at the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC). The EAC, which describes itself as “an independent bipartisan commission,” is responsible for adopting voluntary voting system guidelines and provides for the accreditation of manufacturers’ voting systems and voting system testing laboratories. In 2019, Senators expressed concern over the EAC having only “one full-time staff member dedicated to overseeing the certification process” seems understandable, given the potential importance of that duty. The EAC responded on May 21, 2019 by adding two individuals to its voting certification program — including Bowers, recently the director of certification for Dominion. An article describing the new hires noted, “It was not immediately clear how the EAC might mitigate any potential conflicts of interest that could arise with hiring Bowers, the former director of certification at Dominion Voting Systems, onto the EAC program.” CONTINUED.🔻
