At May 20 '19 Election Committee meeting w/MC Board of Supervisors, all RFP proposals had been recv'd, rev'd, & a short list decision completed
RFP began March 28 '19
Proposals due April 30 '19
Why was there no mention of DOMINION or other vendors in May 20 BOS meeting?

TRANSPARENCY
Pg 18 describes pass/fail requirement w/screening process by procurement
Why were these details not included in the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors May 20 '19 presentation or the June 26 '19 vote for $6.1M allocation by BOS
Why only Dominion in RFP

SECURITY
Pg 7 is the ONLY mention of SECURITY in entire RFP Solicitation
Why do we not ask any questions re
Ownership of election of company
Where software is coded
Where servers exist
Redundancy
Foreign interference
Subsidiaries
Donations
Affiliations, etc.

SECURITY
@katiehobbs' committee 10/29/19 minutes PG 4 says that the login is by team
DOMINION RFP PG 24 says login can be at the tabulator's user level
Why wouldn't Maricopa BOS have login at tabulator level so we can identify and track bad actors during adjudication?

SECURITY
Pg24,35Maricopa County election systems not connected to Internet
Likely alleviates concerns data is sent out of the country to be manipulated
MC DOMINION system USB-driven
For theory to be true, many bad actors needed at each center (possible but unlikely)

SECURITY
Pg 31Why MUST Dominion "FULLY PARTICIPATE" in security review
In my ~2 decades of tech vendor/customer experience, I never made this request of my tech vendors & my customers' never made this request from me
Always an arms-length distance for security purposes

HAND COUNT FEATURES
Pg 35Since Dominion simplifies a hand count and recount process by precinct, why won't @maricopacounty Board of Supervisors, @GeneralBrnovich, @katiehobbs accommodate Statute calling for a precinct hand count

TRANSPARENCY
PG 37DOMINION can accommodate Maricopa County posting ALL BALLOTS on public website
Why won't @MaricopaVote ease voter concerns by posting ballots publicly so the public can do their own hand count audit and confirm election is secure?

CONCLUSION
W/DOMINION'S advertised capabilities for TRANSPARENCY, very concerning @MaricopaVote won't be forthright with voters
RFP not robust on security
Potential for fraud still exists but diminished by lack of access to internet
USB security concerns exist
