An audit by Allied Security Operations Group found that there were more than 1,400 votes that were changed pertaining to a local school board election.

In Central Lake Township, the team inspected the Dominion ImageCast Precinct, looking for  hardware issues. 

Central Lake Township Clerk Judith Kosloski provided two separate paper totals tape from Tabulator ID 2, one dated Nov. 3 and another dated Nov. 6.

Kosloski informed Russell James Ramsland Jr., with Allied Security Operations Group, that  they took the first roll to the county clerk’s office for retabulation, which was why they had the second roll.

The report notes that the first roll had 1,494 votes and the second roll had 1,491. It notes that three ballots were damaged and not entered into the final results.

“This is the most preliminary report of serious election fraud indicators,” the report states. “In comparing the numbers on both rolls, we estimate 1,474 votes changed across the two rolls, between the first and the second time the exact same ballots were run through the County Clerk’s vote counting machine — which is almost the same number of voters that voted in total.”

In total, 742 votes were added to the school board vote in Central Lake, 657 votes were removed from the school board vote for Ellsworth Schools and seven votes were added for the state proposal. It also notes there were 611 votes that moved between yes and no categories in the proposal.

“There were incremental changes throughout the rolls with some significant adjustments between the 2 rolls that were reviewed,” the report states. “This demonstrates conclusively that votes can be and were changed during the second machine count after the software update. That should be impossible especially at such a high percentage to total votes cast.”

The state disagrees with the report, arguing the report makes many conclusions that are unsupported. Dominion also disputes the allegations. 

Dominion said in a statement to the Detroit Free Press that it was the subject of a "continuing malicious and widespread disinformation campaign" to undermine the election.

Dominion’s machines have been questioned so far in Michigan, Georgia and Nevada after glitches were reported. Dominion’s software has been rejected in several states that believe it doesn’t meet basic security standards.

In Antrim County, a glitch was discovered when the county, which is heavily Republican, was called for Joe Biden on Election Night. Antrim County Republican County Chairwoman Laura Cox called for an examination into the rest of the state when the glitch was unearthed.
