Dominion Part of Council That Disputed Election Integrity Concerns in DHS Statement

After allegations emerged that called into question the integrity of voting machines produced by Dominion Voting Systems, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)โ€”part of the Department of Homeland Securityโ€”issued a statement on Nov. 12 disputing the allegations, saying โ€œthe November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.โ€

What the agency failed to disclose, however, is that Dominion is a member of CISAโ€™s Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council, one of two entities that authored the statement put out by CISA.

In addition, Smartmatic, a separate voting machine company that has been the subject of additional concerns, is another member.

The agency didnโ€™t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment on whether Dominion and Smartmatic had input or were otherwise involved in CISAโ€™s Nov. 12 statement.

The joint statement on the integrity of the Nov. 3 election was issued by the Executive Committee of the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC), which represents a coalition of certain state & local government officials and government agencies, and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC), a coalition primarily composed of voting system manufacturers that also includes Democracy Works, an organization that promotes the use of technology to boost voter participation.

The statement claims: โ€œThere is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.

โ€œWhile we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.โ€

Some of the allegations surrounding the integrity of the presidential election, including by President Donald Trumpโ€™s legal team, have focused on the voting systems provided by Dominion, and to a lesser extent, Smartmatic.

Both Dominion and Smartmatic have dismissed concerns over their systems.

Joint Statement From Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council & The Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees

November 12, 20202 – WASHINGTON โ€“ The members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee โ€“ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky, U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chair Benjamin Hovland, National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) President Lori Augino, and Escambia County (Florida) Supervisor of Elections David Stafford โ€“ and the members of the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) โ€“ Chair Brian Hancock (Unisyn Voting Solutions), Vice Chair Sam Derheimer (Hart InterCivic), Chris Wlaschin (Election Systems & Software), Ericka Haas (Electronic Registration Information Center), and Maria Bianchi (Democracy Works) – released the following statement:

โ€œThe November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result. 

โ€œWhen states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.

โ€œOther security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commissionโ€™s (EAC) certification of voting equipment help to build additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.

โ€œWhile we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.โ€
