This article was based on research done by the Election Oversight Group and a private Georgia citizen. If you would like to support the Elections Oversight Group, you can do so here. There is little-to-no funding for backend election investigations but hundreds of millions of dollars “donated” to register every person with a pulse.
The “Claim” On November 17, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger made an announcement that an audit “using forensic techniques” was completed with “no sign of foul play” in the 2020 election. The statement previously appeared on the Secretary of State’s webpage and is still available via the Wayback Machine here.
From the statement:
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger last week ordered Pro V&V, a U.S. Election Assistance Commission certified testing laboratory, to do an audit of a random sample of machines to confirm no hack or tamper: “Pro V&V found no evidence of the machines being tampered.”
Pro V&V conducted an audit of a random sample of Dominion Voting Systems voting machines throughout the state using forensic techniques, including equipment from Cobb, Douglas, Floyd, Morgan, Paulding, and Spalding Counties. ICP, ICX, and ICC components were all subject to the audit. In conducting the audit, Pro V&V extracted the software or firmware from the components to check that the only software or firmware on the components was certified for use by the Secretary of State’s office. The testing was conducted on a Pro V&V laptop independent of the system.
The problem is that besides a watered-down audit “report”, there is little to no evidence that this audit actually took place. The following was from the public comment of yesterday’s State Election Board meeting in Georgia:

There are too many people involved for anything to happen to Raffensberger. Neither he nor Sterling doesn’t strike me as the prison inmate types. They’ll spill and spill loudly.
There is little-to-no funding for after-the-fact “back-end” election wrongdoing investigations
but there are hundreds of million$ of dollar$ “donated” to register every person with a pulse.
Surprised Georgia didn’t burn the election machine warehouse to the ground like happened in Houston, TX a few years ago.
That is generally true in an historical sense. However, IMO that type of cooperation will only be available if
- lower-level actors provide compelling evidence to the litigators for Raffensberger/Sterling that is perceived as a
game-changer;
- and there is a body, most likely a federal body, that has the horsepower and motivation to confront those two.
That only goes to an agreement of cooperation, at that point other forces come into play.
It seems likely the prospect of a future Trump admin causes much loss of sleep with some of those folks.
You ain’t wrong about any of that
Raffensberger’s announcement was never more than a smokescreen. That type of “audit” would be useless, because hacking of local voting machines by OUTSIDERS would not catch improperly registered or out of state votes being counted, or ballots illegally harvested, or insider manipulation through “ballot adjudication”, etc. A “random forensic audit” was as relevant to explaining the real election problems as tests of 3 cabin door latches to reveal why the Titanic sank.
