COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY, EMERGENCY, AND
PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
NATURE OF THE ACTION
This civil action brings to light a massive election fraud, multiple
violations of Georgia laws, including O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-30(d), 21-2-31, 21-2-
33.1 and §21-2-522, and multiple Constitutional violations, as shown by fact
witnesses to specific incidents, multiple expert witnesses and the sheer
mathematical impossibilities found in the Georgia 2020 General Election.1
1.
As a civil action, the plaintiff’s burden of proof is a “preponderance of
the evidence” to show, as the Georgia Supreme Court has made clear that, “[i]
was not incumbent upon [Plaintiff] to show how the [] voters would have voted
if their [absentee] ballots had been regular. [Plaintiff] only had to show that
there were enough irregular ballots to place in doubt the result.” Mead v.
Sheffield, 278 Ga. 268, 272, 601 S.E.2d 99, 102 (2004) (citing Howell v. Fears,
275 Ga. 627, 571 S.E.2d 392 (2002).
2.
The scheme and artifice to defraud was for the purpose of illegally and
fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe
Biden as President of the United States.
3.
The fraud was executed by many means,2 but the most fundamentally
troubling, insidious, and egregious is the systemic adaptation of old-fashioned
“ballot-stuffing.” It has now been amplified and rendered virtually invisible
by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that
very purpose. Mathematical and statistical anomalies rising to the level of
impossibilities, as shown by affidavits of multiple witnesses, documentation,
and expert testimony evince this scheme across the state of Georgia.
Especially egregious conduct arose in Forsyth, Paulding, Cherokee, Hall, and
Barrow County. This scheme and artifice to defraud affected tens of
thousands of votes in Georgia alone and “rigged” the election in Georgia for
Joe Biden.
4.
The massive fraud begins with the election software and hardware
from Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (“Dominion”) only recently
purchased and rushed into use by Defendants Governor Brian Kemp,
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Georgia Board of Elections.
Sequoia voting machines were used in 16 states and the District of Colombia
in 2006. Smartmatic, which has revenue of about $100 million, focuses on
Venezuela and other markets outside the U.S. 3
After selling Sequoia, Smartmatic's chief executive, Anthony Mugica.
Mr. Mugica said, he hoped Smartmatic would work with Sequoia on projects
in the U.S., though Smartmatic wouldn't take an equity stake.” Id.
5.
Smartmatic and Dominion were founded by foreign oligarchs and
dictators to ensure computerized ballot-stuffing and vote manipulation to
whatever level was needed to make certain Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez
never lost another election. (See Redacted whistleblower affiant, attached as
Exh. 2) Notably, Chavez “won” every election thereafter.
6.
As set forth in the accompanying whistleblower affidavit, the
Smartmatic software was designed to manipulate Venezuelan elections in
favor of dictator Hugo Chavez:
Smartmatic’s electoral technology was called “Sistema de Gestión
Electoral” (the “Electoral Management System”). Smartmatic was a
pioneer in this area of computing systems. Their system provided for
transmission of voting data over the internet to a computerized
central tabulating center. The voting machines themselves had a
digital display, fingerprint recognition feature to identify the voter,
and printed out the voter’s ballot. The voter’s thumbprint was linked
to a computerized record of that voter’s identity. Smartmatic created
and operated the entire system.
7.
A core requirement of the Smartmatic software design was the
software’s ability to hide its manipulation of votes from any audit. As the
whistleblower explains:
Chavez was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a
way that the system could change the vote of each voter without
being detected. He wanted the software itself to function in such a
manner that if the voter were to place their thumb print or
fingerprint on a scanner, then the thumbprint would be tied to a
record of the voter’s name and identity as having voted, but that voter
would not be tracked to the changed vote. He made it clear that the
system would have to be setup to not leave any evidence of the
changed vote for a specific voter and that there would be no evidence
to show and nothing to contradict that the name or the fingerprint or
thumb print was going with a changed vote. Smartmatic agreed to
create such a system and produced the software and hardware that
accomplished that result for President Chavez. (See Id., see also Exh.
3, Aff. Cardozo, attached hereto)).
8.
The design and features of the Dominion software do not permit a
simple audit to reveal its misallocation, redistribution, or deletion of votes.
First, the system's central accumulator does not include a protected real-time
audit log that maintains the date and time stamps of all significant election
events. Key components of the system utilize unprotected logs. Essentially
this allows an unauthorized user the opportunity to arbitrarily add, modify,
or remove log entries, causing the machine to log election events that do not
reflect actual voting tabulations—or more specifically, do not reflect the
actual votes of or the will of the people. (See Hursti August 2019 Declaration,
attached hereto as Exh. 4, at pars. 45-48; and attached hereto, as Exh. 4B,
October 2019 Declaration in Document 959-4, at p. 18, par. 28).
9.
Indeed, under the professional standards within the industry in
auditing and forensic analysis, when a log is unprotected, and can be altered,
it can no longer serve the purpose of an audit log. There is incontrovertible
physical evidence that the standards of physical security of the voting
machines and the software were breached, and machines were connected to
the internet in violation of professional standards and state and federal laws.
(See Id.)
10.
Moreover, lies and conduct of Fulton County election workers about a
delay in voting at State Farm Arena and the reasons for it evince the fraud.
11.
Specifically, video from the State Farm Arena in Fulton County shows
that on November 3rd after the polls closed, election workers falsely claimed
a water leak required the facility to close. All poll workers and challengers
were evacuated for several hours at about 10:00 PM. However, several
election workers remained unsupervised and unchallenged working at the
computers for the voting tabulation machines until after 1:00 AM.
12.
Defendants Kemp and Raffensperger rushed through the purchase of
Dominion voting machines and software in 2019 for the 2020 Presidential
Election4. A certificate from the Secretary of State was awarded to Dominion
Voting Systems but is undated. (See attached hereto Exh. 5, copy
Certification for Dominion Voting Systems from Secretary of State).
Similarly a test report is signed by Michael Walker as Project Manager but is
also undated. (See Exh. 6, Test Report for Dominion Voting Systems,
Democracy Suite 5-4-A)
13.
Defendants Kemp and Raffensperger disregarded all the concerns that
caused Dominion software to be rejected by the Texas Board of Elections in
2018, namely that it was vulnerable to undetected and non-auditable
manipulation. An industry expert, Dr. Andrew Appel, Princeton Professor of
Computer Science and Election Security Expert has recently observed, with
reference to Dominion Voting machines: "I figured out how to make a slightly
different computer program that just before the polls were closed, it switches
some votes around from one candidate to another. I wrote that computer
program into a memory chip and now to hack a voting machine you just need
7 minutes alone with it and a screwdriver." (Attached hereto Exh. 7, Study,
Ballot-Marking Devices (BMDs) Cannot Assure the Will of the Voters by
Andrew W. Appel Princeton University, Richard A. DeMillo, Georgia Tech
Philip B. Stark, for the Univ. of California, Berkeley, December 27, 2019).
14.
As explained and demonstrated in the accompanying redacted
declaration of a former electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military
Intelligence with experience gathering SAM missile system electronic
intelligence, the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf
of China and Iran in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the
most recent US general election in 2020. This Declaration further includes a
copy of the patent records for Dominion Systems in which Eric Coomer is
listed as the first of the inventors of Dominion Voting Systems. (See
Attached hereto as Exh. 8, copy of redacted witness affidavit, 17 pages,
November 23, 2020).
15.
Expert Navid Keshavarez-Nia explains that US intelligence services
had developed tools to infiltrate foreign voting systems including Dominion.
He states that Dominion’s software is vulnerable to data manipulation by
unauthorized means and permitted election data to be altered in all
battleground states. He concludes that hundreds of thousands of votes that
were cast for President Trump in the 2020 general election were transferred
to former Vice-President Biden. (Exh. 26)
16.
Additionally, incontrovertible evidence Board of Elections records
demonstrates that at least 96,600 absentee ballots were requested and
counted but were never recorded as being returned to county election boards
by the voter. Thus, at a minimum, 96,600 votes must be disregarded. (See
Attached hereto, Exh. 9, R. Ramsland Aff.).
17.
The Dominion system used in Georgia erodes and undermines the
reconciliation of the number of voters and the number of ballots cast, such
that these figures are permitted to be unreconciled, opening the door to ballot
stuffing and fraud. The collapse of reconciliation was seen in Georgia’s
primary and runoff elections this year, and in the November election, where
it was discovered during the hand audit that 3,300 votes were found on
memory sticks that were not uploaded on election night, plus in Floyd county,
another 2,600 absentee ballots had not been scanned. These “found votes”
reduced Biden’s lead over Donald Trump
18.
Georgia’s election officials and poll workers exacerbated and helped,
whether knowingly or unknowingly, the Dominion system carry out massive
voter manipulation by refusing to observe statutory safeguards for absentee
ballots. Election officials failed to verify signatures and check security
envelopes. They barred challengers from observing the count, which also
facilitated the fraud.
19.
Expert analysis of the actual vote set forth below demonstrates that at
least 96,600 votes were illegally counted during the Georgia 2020 general
election. All of the evidence and allegation herein is more than sufficient to
place the result of the election in doubt. More evidence arrives by the day
and discovery should be ordered immediately.
20.
Georgia law, (OCGA 21-5-552) provides for a contest of an election
where:
(1) Misconduct, fraud, or irregularity by any primary or election
official or officials sufficient to change or place in doubt the result; . .
. (3) When illegal votes have been received or legal votes rejected at
the polls sufficient to change or place in doubt the result; (4) For any
error in counting the votes or declaring the result of the primary or
election, if such error would change the result; or (5) For any other
cause which shows that another was the person legally nominated,
elected, or eligible to compete in a run-off primary or election.
21.
As further set forth below, all of the above grounds have been satisfied
and compel this Court to set aside the 2020 General Election results which
fraudulently concluded that Mr. Biden defeated President Trump by 12,670
votes.
22.
Separately, and independently, there are sufficient Constitutional
grounds to set aside the election results due to the Defendants’ failure to
observe statutory requirements for the processing and counting of absentee
ballots which led to the tabulation of more than fifty thousand illegal ballots.
