Forensic chemist and forensic doc analyst professional Erich Speckin was one of many unknowns working behind the scenes throughout the Maricopa County Audit to research the paper and the poll recordsdata that had been used within the 4th largest county in America. Throughout this course of, he revealed that at the very least 36,000 ballots had been questionable and must be additional examined. Most of those ballots (~25,000) had been not printed from the official pdf, which induced anomalous discrepancies on these ballots to make them simply distinguishable from their genuine counterparts.
In line with Speckin, the ballots printed from the unique pdf could be “good”. They might have completely straight traces with no breaks, and so forth. Nevertheless, when he examined the early and election day ballots, there have been roughly 25,000 that had “breaks in all the identical locations” across the ovals. They usually had been in the identical place on the entire anomalous ballots. You’ll be able to see Speckin’s video about his work in Maricopa here (about 9 min).
One other anomaly that Speckin present in Maricopa Co handled batches that went virtually solely for one candidate. Speckin discovered 61 batches every containing 200 ballots that had been introduced that had 0ver 90% of votes forged for a particular candidate. In analyzing these batches, it was decided that 58 of the 61 had votes favoring Joe Biden by 90% or extra and solely 3 favoring Donald Trump by 90% or extra. This may imply that these mixed batches went roughly 11,600 Biden to 600 Trump, in a state that has been purple for roughly 40 years and in a county that was inside 2.2% factors of one another.

On September 16, 2022, Erich Speckin launched a report on Alleghany Co.’s ballots after doing an analogous evaluation. Speckin notes in his report that he was solely in a position to get entry to the pdf photographs of the ballots, and never the bodily ballots themselves, as appears to be the case virtually in all places relating to the 2020 election and the 2022 primaries.
“Because of solely having photographs, the forensic examination that may be carried out is restricted. It’s at all times
extra fascinating to have the unique proof when potential. The examination performed used the
accessible captured dependable proof within the photographs to make the findings and arrive on the conclusions.”
When Speckin examined the mail-in poll photographs, he discovered {that a} vary of poll IDs had a considerably inferior picture high quality in comparison with different poll photographs offered. Additional, these inferior photographs all got here from the identical scanner, scanner 8520050452, based on the tabulation information offered. Speckin writes:
“Many of those photographs have related defects within the printing/copying course of which might point out widespread supply of manufacturing, however completely different than the remaining examined ballots. Clearly within the mail in counting space, a random printing defect which will have existed in mailing out of ballots couldn’t persistently come again and be counted on the identical scanner. Due to this fact, a printing defect on the printing facet of the poll creation is just not the probably reason for this anomaly.”
Speckin deduced that this could possibly be brought on by a defect in that specific scanner if it weren’t for quite a lot of poll photographs captured by the scanner that had no points within the high quality of the picture or the repeatable defects.
The variety of ballots that comprise this seen defect is larger than 10,000, based on Speckin’s report. Speckin, who has virtually three a long time of expertise analyzing paperwork forensically, said his skilled opinion is that there must be an additional evaluation of the 700,000 ballots forged in Alleghany Co to find out what significance these findings have on the entire. Speckin recommends inspecting the particular tabulator to find out the consumer of the tabulator, time frames of the scanning, and the reason for the poor photographs.
Speckin additionally recommends inspecting unique ballots with the intention to search for impressions of different ballots pushing via as in the event that they had been stuffed out on high of one another, utilizing infrared mild to find out if a couple of sort of ink was used on every poll (and see if its unique to a selected race), and to have a look at “colour printed ballots to evaluation the CPS code and yellow printed dots to find out similarities within the machine and the timing for the printing course of.”
In Alleghany Co, many of the native state consultant and senate races had been inside this margin of victory (<10,000 votes), nevertheless, not each voter in Alleghany votes for these races. The race that will be attention-grabbing to have a look at could be the Conor Lamb/Sean Parnell race, the place Lamb gained by simply over 10,000 votes with 430,000 votes forged. Parnell claimed that, on election evening, his employees decided it was mathematically not possible for Lamb to win and Lamb had allegedly referred to as Parnell on election evening to congratulate him on his victory. However because the numbers started to trickle in for the times and weeks after the election, that modified. Maybe this must be additional examined. The PA Dept. of State despatched out a memo final month requesting counties retain their 2020 election supplies.
