These risk responses may include the following:
- Acceptance - No action is taken to respond to the risk.
- Avoidance - Action is taken to stop the business process or the part of the business process causing the risk.
- Reduction - Action is taken to reduce the likelihood or magnitude of the risk.

Election Anomalies
Principle 7 addresses the need to Identify, Analyze, and Respond to Risks. The identification and analysis of risk are presumed to have been performed at the state level, which are addressed in the Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedure Manual. The MC leadership team's Response to Risk is the primary governance weakness with respect to the Green Book's Principle #7, including this attribute.
Governance issues identified from Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation of Arizona Senate allegations of Maricopa County Election Department - Drop Box Collections issues. Section 2 of the AZ AG's inspector's report identifies numerous issues, which present risk to potential fraud.
This attribute identifies the need for risk "Avoidance - Action is taken to stop the business process or the part of the business process causing the risk." Instead of stopping business processes, MC facilitated five-procedure violations, which may have opened the door to tens of thousands of fraudulent votes.
- See the heading Deviation: Allegations Confirmed from Maricopa Dropbox Collection (2020) webpage.
