Injunction to Prohibit Use of Voting Machines Filed by Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake and Senator Mark Finchem Kari Lake, who is running for governor of Arizona, and Senator Mark Finchem, who is running for Arizona Secretary of State, filed “a civil rights action for declaratory and injunctive relief to prohibit the use of electronic voting machines in the State of Arizona in the upcoming 2022 Midterm Election, slated to be held on November 8, 2022.” The complaint, submitted on Friday by attorneys Andrew Parker, Alan Dershowitz, and Kurt Olsen, lists Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and the Pima County Board of Supervisors as Defendants. The 55 page filing documents decades of evidence of election system vulnerabilities, knowledge of the security flaws by state and federal lawmakers, and the pathological lack of transparency by the voting machine companies. “For two decades, experts and policymakers from across the political spectrum have raised glaring failures with electronic voting systems. Indeed, just three months ago, a computer science expert in Curling v. Raffensperger, Case No. 1:17-cv-02989-AT (U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Ga.), identified catastrophic failures in electronic voting machines used in sixteen states, including Arizona,” the petition began. Not only are the machines catastrophically susceptible to hacking, the complaint notes that “only three companies collectively provide voting machines and software for 90% of all eligible voters in the United States.” The technical management of our elections has been farmed out to this vendor triad. “Jurisdictions throughout the nation, including Arizona, have functionally outsourced all election operations to these private companies. In the upcoming Midterm Election, over three thousand counties across the United States will have delegated the governmental responsibility for programming and administering elections to private contractors,” the complaint continued. “This includes all counties in Arizona, most of which have contracted with Dominion or ES&S to provide machines, software, and services for the Midterm Election. For example, in Defendant Maricopa County, officials do not possess credentials necessary to validate tabulator configurations and independently validate the voting system prior to an election. Dominion maintains those credentials.” The Plaintiffs are seeking “an Order that Defendants collect and count votes through a constitutionally acceptable process, which relies on tried and true precepts that mandates integrity and transparency. This includes votes cast by hand on verifiable paper ballots that maintains voter anonymity; votes counted by human beings, not by machines; and votes counted with transparency, and in a fashion observable to the public.” Read more: https://frankspeech.com/sites/default/files/2022-04/AZ-Injunction.pdf @KanekoaTheGreat
