We
the undersigned Hawaii representatives from various political
parties, candidates running for
public office and concerned citizens request after a Hawaii election
takes place a random
full hand count audit of our paper ballots be
performed in one district in each of the five counties in Hawaii. The
audits are to be observed by official observers from all political
parties and representatives from the respective county elections
division.
We are requesting this additional audit because of the multiple reports and congressional testimony about the vulnerabilities in electronic vote counting machines and because the internal audits prescribed by the Hawaii Office of Elections for our Hawaii elections do not confirm the results of our paper ballot votes.
We
submit the following initial evidence to back up this request:
*Hawaii
Office of Elections Counting Center Manual. (https://elections.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/Book-2022-Counting-Center-Procedures.pdf)
1)The
prescribed Office of Elections Audit of the vote counting machine
results is done with only the first batch of ballots
scanned through a vote counting machine. This is not random and
therefore does not confirm the machine vote results
and ballot results match at the end of counting. Manipulation of
machine tabulation results through hacking is still
possible anytime after the first batch of ballots is scanned.
2)
The prescribed Office of Elections Post Election Audit is done with
only the ballot images that are on the Vote Counting
Machines and not the actual Paper Ballots. It has been proven that
vote counting machine data bases and images
can be altered. The Mesa County Colorado Voting Machine Report shows vote machine data base manipulation. (http://magaraccoon.com/docs/MesaCountyReport3.pdf).
Therefore the Post Election Audit does not confirm the true
paper ballot vote count.
*Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency Report confirms vulnerabilities
exist in election vote counting machines.

*Congressional
Letter to Voting Counting Machine Ownership Group documenting voting
machine vulnerabilities. (https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/H.I.G.%20McCarthy,%20&%20Staple%20Street%20letters.pdf)
*Video
Showing Congressional Testimony documenting vote counting machines
have vulnerabilities. (https://trendingpolitics.com/viral-video-democrats-slam-voting-machines-and-undermine-confidence-in-americas-elections-knab/)
Why is there a 3-week break between when the poll watchers test the counting machines and when the first ballots are counted; and again another 3-week break between when voting is done and when the poll watchers test the machines again?
