On November 17, 2020,
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced to the public that an audit “using forensic techniques” was completed with “no sign of foul play” in the 2020 election.
The audit was allegedly conducted by Pro V&V, a voting system testing lab who’s mandated accreditation was expired at the time of the 2020 election by over two years at the time of the 2020 election, in violation of the EAC’s own regulations.
Raffensperger claimed that in the “audit of a random sample of machines to confirm no hack or tamper: Pro V&V found no evidence of the machines being tampered.” The audit allegedly took place in Cobb, Douglas, Floyd, Morgan, Paulding, and Spalding counties.
Pro V&V, as a Voting Systems Test Laboratory (VSTL), is tasked with ensuring the proper software is on the machines prior to the election and making sure the machines are functioning ‘properly.’ To permit them access to the voting equipment post-election represents a massive conflict of interest. Contrary to Mockingbird Media claims, they are
not an ‘EAC-certified auditor’ as no such thing exists.
Pro V&V, along with SLI Compliance, another VSTL, were coincidentally also given access to the Maricopa County, AZ voting machines following the election just weeks prior to the Senate-ordered in-depth Maricopa audit.
In December 2023,
The Gateway Pundit reported that Open Records Request showed that the counties listed by the Secretary of State had “no responsive records.” Paulding County definitively responded that,
“We did not have audit of the machines following the November 2020 election. We have no communications with the SOS, Dominion, or PRO V&V.”
