BPro/KNOWiNK’s Uncertified, Internet-Connected, Cloud-Based Election Systems Are Foreign Influenced and Used to Illegally Process Election Results

Another incident in New Jersey raises eyebrows about how connected BPro, KNOWiNK, Everyone Counts, and Votem really are.  New Jersey signed a $17 million contract with Everyone Counts for voter registration system maintenance.  In 2019, after Votem acquired Everyone Counts, the company restructured, and sold the New Jersey contract to KNOWiNK. However, at the time, KNOWiNK was only known to sell and service e-poll pads, as they had not yet purchased BPro which handles voter registration.  The questionable timing of this “inherited” contract by KNOWiNK without officially owning or selling voter roll maintenance software is an example of the smoke and mirrors in the election equipment shell game.

BPRO RELIES ON FOREIGN SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS IN VIOLATION OF THEIR CONTRACTS

China isn’t BPro’s only foreign connection: The New Mexico SOS displays election results in both table and GIS map form.  A candidate in New Mexico noticed that BPro’s mapping feature is provided by a company called “Leaflet” who included a hyperlink at the bottom of all the state maps displaying election results (the hyperlink has since been removed by BPro):

Clicking on the hyperlink brought up fundraising advertisement for the Ukraine War and another link to information about Leaflet’s creator, a native Ukrainian named Volodomyr Agafonkin.  Per the website description, “Leaflet is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps….”

The biggest problem with using foreign-created GIS features in BPro software is that they have signed at least a dozen contracts that contain a clause that work on sensitive data will be performed in the United States, including subcontractors:

If Leaflet products are used in the redistricting features and geolocation offered by BPro, which would seem to be a self-evident violation of BPro’s contracts.

BPRO’S STRANGE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PARTNER

Arizona’s elections are now famous around the country for massive irregularities, incompetence, and fraud. It will surprise no one that BPro is right in the middle of Arizona’s elections as one of the contractors that teamed up to create Arizona’s voter database called AVID (Access Voter Information Database).

In 2017, a company called “Sutherland Government Solutions” (a subsidiary of Sutherland Global Solutions) sought out BPro and another Arizona company called “Expert Technology Services Arizona (ETSAZ) to partner with them to create the AVID system.

Sutherland, a billion-dollar net annual revenue company, has a set of skills that you wouldn’t typically associate with a voter registration database.

Take this very curious statement from their website:

“We make digital human.”

At Sutherland, we create exceptionally engineered brand experiences that are a perfect match for the real people (and real moments) they’re made for.  We do that by combining human-centered design with the scale & accuracy of real time analytics, AI, cognitive technology and automation.”

Why would a company that specialized in AI, real-time analytics, and automation be needed to create and maintain a database for Arizonans?

COMPANY WHO HELPED BUILD ARIZONA’S REGISTRATION DATABASE

A section from the BPro/Sutherland proposal to the State of Arizona states:

“Team Sutherland has experience with data analytics, the use of algorithms for problem solving…For example, if a particular polling location experience long lines during periods of the day, analytics could be used to understand why. Possible approaches to examine this situation could combine the time stamps that ballots are cast with the address locations of voters when they check in at the polling place to highlight driving distances used by voters. The results may point to a better or additional polling location to help minimize wait times…”

Using analytics to reduce wait times at the polls sounds great. You would think with tools like that the utter debacle that was the Maricopa County 2022 midterm elections could never have happened. But evidence presented in court and to the public strongly indicate that someone with access to the election management system purposely sabotaged ballot images used to print ballots at the polling sites so they would be rejected by tabulators on Election Day. Another shocking revelation revealed that Maricopa County election officials kept a heat map of expected Republican voters hanging on their wall and almost all the voting centers with machine problems were in deep red districts.

Could the advanced analytics Sutherland built into AVID be used to sabotage an election in Republican precincts using AVID? It’s clear someone in Maricopa County was thinking along those lines.

BPRO IS FULLY CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET AND HOSTED ON THE CLOUD

Considering the recent revelations that the Federal Government is pushing election officials to connect their election to the emergency use cellular network called FirstNet, which was built by AT&T and is widely viewed to be vulnerable to foreign attack, the statement on Sutherland’s proposal that AT&T is their longest tenured client is also troubling: (LINK)

SUTHERLAND GLOBAL’S STATEMENT ON AVID PROPOSAL

If full exposure to FirstNet wasn’t enough of a vulnerability, Bpro/KNOWiNK hosts their software and their client’s sensitive election data on the Microsoft Azure platform.  Sutherland Global Services also lists Microsoft Azure as a partner.

In May and June of 2023, Chinese cyber hackers breached the US State Department, along with other US Federal Agencies, through the Microsoft Cloud.  A recent Gateway Pundit article reported “According to the New York Times, “the hack, by a Chinese group that the company said was intent on conducting espionage, went undetected for a month…. [t]he investigation of the efforts by the Chinese hackers, who likely are affiliated with China’s military or spy services, is ongoing, American officials said.  But U.S. officials have downplayed the idea that the hackers stole sensitive information, insisting that no classified email or cloud systems were penetrated. The State Department’s cybersecurity team first discovered the intrusion.

Within the article, Laura Ingraham adds her commentary:

“Now, despite the Fed spending, what, 15.6 billion on cybersecurity, more than the GDP of nearly, what, 75 countries, Chinese cyberspies were able to exploit a fundamental gap in Microsoft’s cloud, enabling them to hack email accounts at the State Department and other agencies. But this really should come as no surprise, because Microsoft has had a really symbiotic relationship for China for years now. As Forbes noted in a recent piece, in 2014, Microsoft became the first foreign company to offer public cloud computing services in the Chinese market. And in March of this year, they would begin offering OpenAI as part of its cloud services. And get this, Microsoft gave the Chinese government access to the source code for its Windows operating system. That happened back in March of 2003.”

BPRO/KNOWINK IS A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK

BPro has a shady history – from its creation to its proliferation across the country. It is being used to perform tasks in our elections that as noted previously appear to be in blatant violation of state and federal law, and even in violation of the contracts BPro has made with its clients.

BPro/KNOWiNK are now controlling electronic poll pads, voter registration databases, election night reporting, and even processing of official election results in a majority of US states.

We can prove the data this software produces indicates massive manipulation of the voter rolls, election night reporting, and election results reporting.

Revelations that our national infrastructure was spied on for months in the Solarwinds hack proves our national critical infrastructure can be and has been penetrated by foreign actors without the knowledge of CISA, the federal agency charged with securing our elections.

Evidence of all this manipulation have been brought to election officials across the country.  None of it has been explained nor has any effort been made to correct these issues.

The weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the TotalVote software are a national security emergency. Election officials who have sworn an oath to protect the election franchise cannot continue to ignore this system.

All of this software must be discontinued immediately to protect 2024.
