Control Activities
Principle 10 - Design Control Activities
Attribute 10.11 - Management evaluates the purpose of the control activity as well as the likelihood of an unintended event or result occurring and the magnitude of impact it would have on the entity in achieving its objectives. Management may design both preventive and detective control activities to effectively mitigate the risks to achieving the objectives, particularly in circumstances where the risk of an unintended event or result occurring is high. Generally, the higher the risk of an unintended event or result occurring, the stronger or more robust the control activities need to be to effectively mitigate the higher risk to acceptable levels.

Election Anomalies
Governance issues identified from Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation of Arizona Senate allegations of Maricopa County - Signature Verification Process issues. There are three paths to ensuring a valid early ballot is tabulated, which are 1) Signature Verifier may allow the ballot to pass through directly to tabulation, 2) an early ballot flagged by the Signature Verifier may be cured or authenticated by a separate team, and 3) a citizen may confirm their vote has been tabulated. Meanwhile, the Signature Verifier is the single person that has the responsibility of detecting a potentially fraudulent ballot. There are fewer methods to detect fraud than there are to authenticate a valid early ballot.
