Kari Lake, a gubernatorial hopeful, and Mark Finchem, who is running for secretary of state, claim in a new lawsuit that the machines are unreliable.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Two Republicans seeking statewide office are asking a federal judge to block the use of machines to tabulate the votes in Arizona in the 2022 election.
The tabulation of votes is an inherently governmental function, he said. Yet by using machines built and programmed by private companies the state has effectively farmed that out that obligation."This lack of transparency by electronic voting machine companies has created a 'black box' system of voting which lacks credibility and integrity," he wrote in a copy of the lawsuit furnished to Capitol Media Services.
The lawsuit also cites what Parker said were"irregularities and evidence of illegal vote manipulations" in voting systems used in the 2020 election. While most of the incidents were from elsewhere, the list includes claims from the Cyber Ninjas"audit" of Maricopa County's election process about things like software and patch protocols not being followed and missing files.
"It is only about the future — about upcoming elections that will employ voting machines designed and run by private companies, performing a crucial governmental function, that refuse to disclose their software and system components and subject them to neutral expert evaluation," he wrote.
Parker contends those tests don't prove anything to deal with what he said are"security problems inherent in the use of electronic voting machines." But what Parker does not mention is that there was an agreement between the Senate and the county that allowed three independent experts, including one recommended by the Senate, to examine the equipment. They reported that the system was not connected to the internet and that there was no evidence of data deletion, data purging, data overwriting or other destruction of evidence.
