Michigan — Antrim County Audit Report
“We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.”

A problem in Antrim County
In the days following the 2020 general election, in Antrim County, Michigan, a citizen was concerned about a voting abnormality. He couldn’t understand how, in a solid Republican county, Joe Biden got more votes than Donald Trump.
The voting results were drastically different than previous elections and, in a community he knew well, it didn’t make sense.
So on November 6, the citizen, William Bailey, asked the local prosecutor to investigate. He then went to the FBI.
The matter eventually reached a Michigan court where, on December 4, Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ordered an inspection of the county’s voting machines.
The Forensics Team
On December 6, a team from Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG), a Dallas-based company that investigates “vulnerabilities in U.S. election equipment”, arrived in Antrim County.
The members of the team were all former CIA, Secret Service, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security personnel. The leader of the team was Russell James Ramsland, Jr., a Harvard MBA with career experience at NASA and MIT.
Their job was to conduct a forensic examination of Antrim County’s 22 voting machines, all made by Dominion Voting Systems.
The Forensics Report
On December 13, the ASOG team released their report. Here are some of the findings:
- On Election night, Joe Biden won Antrim County by 3,260 votes. But this tally was incorrect. The actual winner was Donald Trump, by a margin of 3,788. State officials called it “human error”. According to the forensics team, however: “…the vote flip occurred because of machine error built into the voting software.” In other words, the voting machines were programmed to behave this way.
- The voting machines had a 68.05% error rate. This means that 68.05% of the votes were sent to “adjudication”, where election officials manually review the ballot and determine the intent of the voter. (Under federal law, the maximum allowable error rate is 0.0008%.)
- The adjudication logs for 2020 were missing. In other words, the records of ballots sent for manual review had been erased from the system. The adjudication logs for 2016 and 2018 were still there.
- Server security logs for November 3 (Election Day) and November 4 were missing. This data shows users who accessed the Dominion system and their activity. Server security logs for other dates were still there.
- All errors and problems found on these machines benefitted Joe Biden.
- On November 21, an unauthorized user attempted to delete election results from these machines. The attempt failed.
The Report’s Conclusions
According to the ASOG forensics team:
- “We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”
- “We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.”
This is a National Problem
Antrim County is a small, rural Michigan county with only 24,000 residents.
A forensic audit was conducted on its 22 Dominion voting machines.
The audit revealed problems that violated the constitutional rights of individual Americans and swung an election from one candidate to another.
Antrim County should concern every American because:
- The same Dominion machines were used in 66 out of 83 Michigan counties.
- The same Dominion machines were used in 27 other states.
- As of this writing, there have been no reports of similar audits in these other places.
Considering the experience in Antrim County, there is no reason to trust the voting results in 28 states, without an audit of the voting machines.
The State’s Response
- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued a joint statement saying the report was “another in a long stream of misguided, vague and dubious assertions designed to erode public confidence in the November presidential election.”
- Erik Grill, an attorney for Secretary of State Benson, called the report “inaccurate, incomplete, and misleading.”
- Jonathan Brater, Director of the Michigan Bureau of Elections, said the report “makes a series of unsupported conclusions, ascribes motives of fraud and obfuscation to processes that are easily explained as routine election procedures or error corrections, and suggests without explanation that elements of election software not used in Michigan are somehow responsible for tabulation or reporting errors that are either nonexistent or easily explained.”
- Dominion Voting Systems reacted by saying the company “has been the target of a continuing malicious and widespread disinformation campaign aimed at eroding confidence in the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.”
The report out of Antrim County calls into question the results of the 2020 presidential election. At a minimum, it demonstrates the need for a forensic audit of all Dominion voting machines in 28 states.
