This page will explain how MC may be facilitating fraud by poor governance. The flow of fraudulent activities will reveal that at no time does a MC official or employee actually commit a fraudulent activity. Instead, poor governance practices allow the fraudsters to attempt to sway election results and may actually achieve that objective because of confidentiality that is universally applied to all ballots. This confidentiality allows fraudster to prevail in their efforts because MC officials and employees are not complying with the 1) Arizona Revised Statutes, 2) Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedures Manual and 3) Maricopa County Elections Department Procedures.

MC officials, management and employees are not applying good governance. The door is opened to outside fraud when there is no accountably to established standards that ensure election integrity.

# '''Fraudulent Voter Registration''' - This fraud strategy relies on a massive amounts of early ballots being distributed to the public. Therefore, the fraudsters begin by creating a voter registration record for an ineligible voter or a fictious voter. The more ballots in the public the greater chance of success from the fraudsters.
# '''Voter Rolls Corrupted''' - The fraudsters depend on a minimalistic approach to maintaining an accurate voter registration database. The fraudsters are able to perpetrate their strategy, knowing MC doesn't do a good job removing ineligible and fictitious voters. Each failure to identify an ineligible or fictious voter by MC is just one more extra, unnecessary, ballot distributed to the public.
# '''Early Ballots Mailed to Invalid Voter'''s - An early ballot is mailed to every person listed in the Voter Registration database, including eligible voters, ineligible voters and fictious voters. Interestingly, the fraudsters rely on good performance by MC to distribution of all ballots included in the Voter Registration rolls, including those that may ultimately be used for fraudulent purposes.
# '''Invalid Ballots Returned to USPS''' - The fraudsters need a repository to acquire enough early ballots to sway the election, and make the reward worth the risk. By process, undelivered mail (e.g., from fictious addresses) is returned to the USPS, not MC. In 2020, over 56,000 undeliverable early ballots were returned to the USPS. Excluding other means, storage of tens of thousands of still valid early ballots at the USPS presents an incredible opportunity for the fraudster to siphon off what is needed for their purposes from this stockpile.
# '''Early Ballots Stolen from the USPS''' - The boxes and boxes undelivered early ballots stored at USPS are still valid. If these ballots are obtained, filled in, they may be submitted for tabulation. Does the USPS consider tens of thousands of pieces of undelivered mail as having the ability to sway an election worthy of extra security.
# '''Early Ballots are Stolen in Route to Shredder''' - It is doubtful that the USPS tracked the destruction of undelivered mail with chain of custody documentation. It was probably destroyed in the same manner as all undelivered mail. Fraudsters hit the jackpot if they can ''acquire'' these still good ballots while in route to destruction.
# '''Stolen Early Ballots are Fraudulently Filled In''' - Having acquired valid ballots, the fraudsters begin the process of completing the still valid ballots with the candidates of their chose and reinsert them into the MC Election System using drop boxes where no personal identification is necessary to cast the ballot.
# '''Fraudulent Ballots Collected''' - Procedure noncompliance by MC managers and possibly employees impeded the chain of custody protocols that were established to prevent the inappropriate siphoning off of valid ballots and injection of fraudulent ballots as the picked up from the drop boxes to be transported to the MC Election Center. Poor governance may once again facilitate the fraud without MC managers actual committing fraudulent acts.
# '''Fraudulent Ballots Transported''' -Procedure noncompliance by MC managers and possibly employees impeded the chain of custody protocols that were established to prevent the inappropriate siphoning off of valid ballots and/or injection of fraudulent ballots during the transport of early ballots from the drop boxes to the MC Election Center.
# '''Fraudulent Ballots Received''' -Procedure noncompliance by MC managers and possibly employees impeded the chain of custody protocols that were established to prevent the inappropriate siphoning off of valid ballots and injection of fraudulent ballots as the early ballots were received at the MC Election Center.
# '''Fraudulent Ballots Tabulated''' - The Signature Verifier is the ultimate and final barrier to prevent a fraudulent ballot from being tabulated. The Signature Verifier identifies a potentially fraudulent if there is a mismatch between the original signature applied to the original voter registration record and the signature applied to the envelope of the early ballot. If an fraudulent early ballot is not detected by the Signature Verifier, the fraudulent ballot will be tabulated and can never be retrieved because the ballot is separated from the envelope and comingled with other ballots.

MC employees and third-party suppliers may be allowing fraudsters to influence election outcomes by not being fully accountable. The explanation provided within this page would not submissible evidence in a court of law unless their was sufficient documentation to prove what is presented as conjecture on this page.

None of the MC employees and third-party suppliers appear to be "conducting" the fraud; they are merely allowing the fraud to occur.

Overview

This page will explain how MC may be facilitating fraud by poor governance. The flow of fraudulent activities will reveal that at no time does a MC official or employee actually commit a fraudulent activity. Instead, poor governance practices allow the fraudsters to attempt to sway election results and may actually achieve that objective because of confidentiality that is universally applied to all ballots. This confidentiality allows fraudster to prevail in their efforts because MC officials and employees are not complying with the 1) Arizona Revised Statutes, 2) Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedures Manual and 3) Maricopa County Elections Department Procedures.

How is this not fraud you may ask?

MC officials, management and employees are not applying good governance. The door is opened to outside fraud when there is no accountably to established standards that ensure election integrity. For example, procedure violations were reported in the Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation, Section 2, Finding (Page 6-7). Procedure steps established to prevent fraud, if ignored, allow fraud. MC management appears to tolerate noncompliant behavior given there is no discussion of any attempt to correct deviant behaviors based on the AG's report.

This Overview present "one way" fraudsters may be exploiting MC weakness to illegally influence election results. Each of the key steps in this fraud scenario will be discussed in more detail below. Meanwhile, the key steps are summarized as follows:

  1. Fraudulent Voter Registration - This fraud strategy relies on a massive amounts of early ballots being distributed to the public. Therefore, the fraudsters begin by creating a voter registration record for an ineligible voter or a fictious voter. The more ballots in the public the greater chance of success from the fraudsters.
  2. Voter Rolls Corrupted - The fraudsters depend on a minimalistic approach to maintaining an accurate voter registration database. The fraudsters are able to perpetrate their strategy, knowing MC doesn't do a good job removing ineligible and fictitious voters. Each failure to identify an ineligible or fictious voter by MC is just one more extra, unnecessary, ballot distributed to the public.
  3. Early Ballots Mailed to Invalid Voters - An early ballot is mailed to every person listed in the Voter Registration database, including eligible voters, ineligible voters and fictious voters. Interestingly, the fraudsters rely on good performance by MC to distribution of all ballots included in the Voter Registration rolls, including those that may ultimately be used for fraudulent purposes.
  4. Invalid Ballots Returned to USPS - The fraudsters need a repository to acquire enough early ballots to sway the election, and make the reward worth the risk. By process, undelivered mail (e.g., from fictious addresses) is returned to the USPS, not MC. In 2020, over 56,000 undeliverable early ballots were returned to the USPS. Excluding other means, storage of tens of thousands of still valid early ballots at the USPS presents an incredible opportunity for the fraudster to siphon off what is needed for their purposes from this stockpile.
  5. Early Ballots Stolen from the USPS - The boxes and boxes undelivered early ballots stored at USPS are still valid. If these ballots are obtained, filled in, they may be submitted for tabulation. Does the USPS consider tens of thousands of pieces of undelivered mail as having the ability to sway an election worthy of extra security.
  6. Early Ballots are Stolen in Route to Shredder - It is doubtful that the USPS tracked the destruction of undelivered mail with chain of custody documentation. It was probably destroyed in the same manner as all undelivered mail. Fraudsters hit the jackpot if they can acquire these still good ballots while in route to destruction.
  7. Stolen Early Ballots are Fraudulently Filled In - Having acquired valid ballots, the fraudsters begin the process of completing the still valid ballots with the candidates of their chose and reinsert them into the MC Election System using drop boxes where no personal identification is necessary to cast the ballot.
  8. Fraudulent Ballots Collected - Procedure noncompliance by MC managers and possibly employees impeded the chain of custody protocols that were established to prevent the inappropriate siphoning off of valid ballots and injection of fraudulent ballots as the picked up from the drop boxes to be transported to the MC Election Center. Poor governance may once again facilitate the fraud without MC managers actual committing fraudulent acts.
  9. Fraudulent Ballots Transported -Procedure noncompliance by MC managers and possibly employees impeded the chain of custody protocols that were established to prevent the inappropriate siphoning off of valid ballots and/or injection of fraudulent ballots during the transport of early ballots from the drop boxes to the MC Election Center.
  10. Fraudulent Ballots Received -Procedure noncompliance by MC managers and possibly employees impeded the chain of custody protocols that were established to prevent the inappropriate siphoning off of valid ballots and injection of fraudulent ballots as the early ballots were received at the MC Election Center.
  11. Fraudulent Ballots Tabulated - The Signature Verifier is the ultimate and final barrier to prevent a fraudulent ballot from being tabulated. The Signature Verifier identifies a potentially fraudulent if there is a mismatch between the original signature applied to the original voter registration record and the signature applied to the envelope of the early ballot. If an fraudulent early ballot is not detected by the Signature Verifier, the fraudulent ballot will be tabulated and can never be retrieved because the ballot is separated from the envelope and comingled with other ballots.
  12. Poor Data Security During Tabulation - All ballots are tabulated digitally. If data security protocols are poor, the tabulation results may be corrupted.
