RELIABLE VOTER ROLLS ARE UP TO EACH COUNTY TO MANAGE
Voting official verifies there was double voting cases in 2020 primary. Judicial Watch lawsuit against the SoS of CA ended with the SoS losing as they did not clean up 5 million voters on their voter rolls. Leaving those ballots to be harvested and stolen to change the vote.
The Secretary of State requires counties to determine whether there is a potential match in the statewide database. Each county decides what system it will use to manage its Election Management System, causing complications in communications between systems. The 2020 primary sent mail-in ballots to voters who signed up for it, Gov. Newsom’s executive order will mail out ballots to 21 million registered voters. Research has shown that the voter rolls for CA could have over 450,000 who have died or moved.

ONLY SOME OF CALIFORNIA VOTING SYSTEMS ARE EAC-CERTIFIED
Electoral Assistance Commission certification is vital to ensure machine integrity.
California cannot certify a direct electronic voting system unless it has received federal qualification. However, California can certify modifications which aren’t EAC-certified. These modifications are tested by independent laboratories such as SLI Compliance.

OUTDATED SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE IN CALIFORNIA
Three counties are using outdated OS and the other two are using 14-year old voting equipment.
Alpine, Amador and Merced counties are using California-certificated ES&S 6.0.4.2. This system uses end of life software (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2) and are easily hackable having no security patches. A security test report noted vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a bad actor to gain access to the system. Lassen and Modoc counties are still using 14-year-old AccuVote Optical Scans that are very insecure and are susceptible to internal software bugs and external attacks.
