	According the Superior Court ruling, the Judge concurred with the Defendant's position that there are no written contracts between MC and the MVD as presented in this March 12, 2026 Defendants' Brief submitted to the court. This Green Book Attribute describes ''abuse'' as "involv[ing] behavior that is deficient or improper when compared with behavior that a prudent person would consider reasonable and necessary operational practice given the facts and circumstances.

	~~<u>Potential Green Book Deviation</u>~~

	Contrary to the Green Book, some form of abuse may have occurred within MC in that a ''prudent'' manager would have insisted on some form of a written agreement between MC and the MVD given the exchange of sensitive digital voter registration data between them. Instead, MC managers and legal team insisted that no records were created because Arizona statutes did not require documentation. Arizona statutes rarely specify documentation requirements. A decision to not create a record appears to be an abuse of power, given the absence of these records would preclude any oversight or investigative entity from revealing fraud. The lack of transparency and number of election-related anomalies my indicate fraud as a means to conceal misconduct as noted within Attribute 8.08.

	The Green Book states, "Abuse may include corruption through the misuse of authority or position for personal gain or for the benefit of another." MC leadership apparently tolerated procedure violations during the processing of early ballots during the 2020 election. The AZ AG's confirmed the Arizona Senate's allegations; five procedure violations were identified. The willful or tolerant actions of MC leadership suggest abuse, which is another example of poor governance. See the heading [[Dropbox Collection (2020)#Deviation: Allegations Confirmed\|Deviation: Allegations Confirmed]] from Maricopa Dropbox Collection (2020) webpage for additional information.

			The Green Book's Principle 8 addresses Assess Fraud, Improper Payment, and Information Security Risk. Obviously, improper payments is not a concern during the Assessment of Election Anomalies. However, improper payments by MC county may exist, but would require a separate assessment.

			The Green Book's <u>emphasis on fraud and information security</u> as separate risk assessment activity is intentional. MC may be able to defer to the Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedure Manual as general steps taken to ensure the integrity of election results. Fraud occurs when loopholes are identified and exploited by the fraudsters. The implementers of election services (i.e., Arizona Counties) are better positioned to detect fraud and assess the risk of fraud because they are handling the data, not the state. Hence, governance gaps may be identified from patterns of poor assessment and response to risk with respect to election fraud and information security.

			The indirect impact of these procedure violations is more consequential, but unknown. These procedure violations allowed fraudulent early ballots to be tabulated. However, there is no means to quantify the impact on election results because fraudulent ballots are comingled with valid ballots during tabulation; there are no distinguishable characteristics to segregate the two.

	There is a distinct possibility that MC Elections management may have been abusing power without conducting acts of fraud. MC Elections management may have been emphasizing the importance of a quick pace given Director of Elections told the AZ AG's inspector "Level I Signature Verifiers should be able to process around 250 signature verifications every 30 minutes (7.2 seconds per ballot)." The rationale for the quick pace may have been considered reasonable considering 1,910,317 early ballots required signature verification.
