URGENT APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC
Ref: SOUTH CAROLINA CAST VOTE RECORDS (CVR’S) LAWSUIT
[CVR Defined: is generally a spreadsheet of all tallied votes, whether in electronic, paper, or other form.]
Fellow South Carolinians,
Individuals in several SC counties who are concerned about Transparency and Security in the Vote Counting process filed FOIA’s (Freedom Of Information Act) for the CVR’s of the 2020 General Election, from their County Election Boards. The FOIA Requests were promptly denied. The grounds for their refusal was an Opinion Letter produced by the SC- AG’s (Attorney General) office, asserting that these records could contain the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of the Voter and should therefore be made inaccessible to the public. We heartily disagree with this AG opinion. Experts have affirmed that there is no PII in the CVR. We, along with several of our legislators, have asked the AG’s office to reconsider the Opinion. Their response basically doubled down on the Opinion, which was completely reliant upon false information provided by the State Election Commission (SEC). We were told by the AG’s office that filing a lawsuit would be our only remedy. We are just normal folks trying to ensure that the governmental agency responsible for securing our most fundamental right is held accountable. We have spent countless hours and thousands of our own dollars trying to ensure that every legitimate Vote is counted.
Rather than hiding information from the public and complaining about the burden these FOIAs are placing on them, the SEC should be worrying about the fact that the public is losing faith in their Voting System and should be doing everything they can to recover that Trust. This requires them to increase Transparency and Communication with the Citizen groups, looking to safeguard fair, honest, and secure Elections.
In summary, we are asking for the same reports that have been made available to other citizens across the country that are using the same ES&S Election System. CVR analysis from other states suggests the presence of algorithms that are flipping and frontloading votes!
If a hand-count and thorough Audit of the Election results will not be provided to the people at their request, there is no way we can truly verify the accuracy of vote totals decided by proprietary software on inaccessible machines.
We filed the Suit and now the publicly funded lawyers retained by the SEC and County BOE’s have filed a Counterclaim. Our legal team is responding to the Counterclaim as well as starting the discovery process. This is a complex and expensive case as it is trying to challenge both the SEC and the Attorney General. We will likely be flying in Expert Witnesses for the case, which is an additional cost. This battle for Transparent Elections will likely provide precedent which will impact the efforts of Grassroots groups across the entire country. We NEED YOU to help us fight this very important legal battle to find the Truth.
