Nevada GOP Chairman Michael J. McDonald’s Statement on the Court Ordered Inspection of Voting Machines
LAS VEGAS – Please consider the following statement from Chairman Michael J. McDonald in response to the ordered inspection of voting machines in connection to the upcoming election contest on December 3rd in Carson City, NV:
“The judge’s order allowed for an inspection. What we got was a guided tour. Machines were not usable, and we were not able to make a determination about the accuracy and integrity of the election process based on this inspection. We are entitled to a computer forensic inspection in accordance with the judge’s order. We were prevented from doing one. This was a digital election and we were not allowed a digital inspection. The “inspection” today was like trying to determine if a car had failed brakes without getting underneath the car”.Things the forensic team requested but were not allowed to do:
- Inspect the Tabulation Server
- Inspect the memory on the Agilis signature verification machine
- See a “test run” of the Agilis signature verification machine
- Inspect the memory on the “adjudicator” machines
- Inspect the USB drive for the dominion machines
- Inspect the poll books
- Inspect the memory of the Election Management Server
- Inspect the “mail ballot readers” or “ICC’s”
- Inspect the election results drives in the box from the Accuracy Certification Board
- Inspect the simulation drives in the box from the Accuracy Certification Board
- Inspect any “ballot marking devices”
Things that were requested that the team was allowed to do:
- Take down serial numbers of election day machines
- Witness a voting receipt tabulation for one machine – A total of 42 votes
- Inspect the results/reports from the Accuracy Certification Board
- Watch a machine be turned on
