Facts About Dominion And Antrim County, Michigan
December 14, 2020

1. There were no software "glitches" that "switched" votes in Antrim County or anywhere else. The errors identified in Antrim County were isolated human errors not involving Dominion.
   • Officials failed to update the programming in their tabulators after requiring changes to their ballot.
   • Human errors around election programming are caught during public Logic & Accuracy testing, which is performed after election programming is finalized. Officials in Antrim failed to conduct Logic & Accuracy testing.
   • The post-election canvass process is designed to catch errors, which is exactly where these errors were discovered. 
2. There was no digital adjudication of votes in Antrim County.
   • Antrim County does not license nor use digital adjudication. To the extent Antrim County needed to resolve any absentee ballots, it was done manually—by hand—outside the tabulation system.
   • Digital adjudication requires the use of ballot images. Antrim County does not record images.
   • Any U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) accredited VSTL can easily and independently verify whether adjudication is used by review of the database structure. 
3. Antrim County (and all of Michigan) has a paper ballot record for every vote cast on a Dominion machine.
   • Voters make, review, and cast their paper ballots. These paper ballots are in full custody of the election officials of each county. The proof of the accuracy of tabulation machines can be verified by hand counts and audits. 
4. Antrim County does not use modems.
   • While the State of Michigan requires all tabulation systems to be capable of transmitting election results from the precincts via modems, Antrim County does not use modems.
   • If modems are ever used, they are external on Dominion machines so that poll workers and poll watchers can easily identify when they are in use.
   • Dominion results servers are designed to not be connected to the internet. Since they are in the custody of election officials, many officials have EAC accredited VSTLs perform audits to forensically confirm that they have not been connected to the internet. When there is any doubt, officials can always revert back to the hand counts and audits of the paper ballots that NEVER leave the county. 
5. Antrim County does not use Rank Choice Voting.
   • A simple review of the ballots easily confirms this, as there is only one marking area beside each candidate. Any EAC accredited VSTL could also verify this through source code and database review.
6. Dominion systems have passed rigorous state and federal testing and certification protocols to prove they are accurate and reliable.
   • Extremely thorough and rigorous audits are performed on all EAC certified tabulation systems by third-party test labs, chosen by the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission and accredited by a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Their tests include complete source code reviews, volume and accuracy tests, along with post-election audits and verifications.
