Court-Ordered Audit Finds Dominion Voting Machines Intentionally Designed to “Create Systemic Fraud” in Michigan
Farnsworth held a six-hour hearing on Monday to investigate allegations of irregularities surrounding the presidential race. He later announced that he intended to issue subpoenas to inspect and audit voting machines in Maricopa County, claiming that “There is evidence of forgery, there is evidence of fraud,” local media reported.
However, officials who testified before his committee insisted there was no indication that Democrat Joe Biden’s narrow victory in the state was illegitimate. Farnsworth argued that the subpoenas “Ensure that at least the legislature has a process in place” to control the “Veracity” of the electoral contest.
The subpoenas coincided with the release of a preliminary audit report, ordered by a Michigan judge, which stated that Dominion systems were “Intentionally and deliberately designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”
The explosive findings appeared to support President Donald Trump’s claim that widespread electoral fraud involving Dominion machines. But in testimony before the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee on Tuesday, National CEO John Poulos claimed the audit was “Seriously defective” and make allegations “Categorically false and technically incomprehensible.”
Biden was certified president-elect by the Electoral College on Monday, leading some Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to formally recognize the Democrats’ victory. Trump insisted that it is “Too early” to give up and urged the Republican Party to “Learn to fight.”
