Barry Wernick, a Republican running for Texas House District 108, said: reported On Tuesday, he filed a complaint with the Texas Secretary of State against the Dallas County Elections Department, claiming he found the actual ballot posted online.
Wernick, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, shared the news on X and explained how he made the shocking discovery.
“Irreparable damage may already have been done.”
Wernick said when he went to the DCED website to see a sample ballot, he was redirected to the Clarity Elections portal.
Clarity Elections is an election night reporting portal operated by SOE Software.
“After clicking on the link and being redirected to the Clarity Elections portal, instead of viewing a sample ballot, I was shown a downloadable and printable .pdf file of an actual die-cut mail-in ballot with a color stamp of my initials (HG) ) Elections Director Haider Garcia,” Wernick said.
Wernick shared a screenshot of Garcia's initials at the bottom of the ballot. He pointed out that the marks on the online ballot matched the actual ballot, not the sample.
The online voting images “were not locked, encrypted or watermarked in any way,” Wernick added.
He called on the DCED to immediately hold the vote offline.
“There is no law prohibiting the release of actual mail-in ballots, so anyone with access to a registered voter's legal first and last name and the same voter's date of birth can easily and legally print that voter's ballot. “It can be manipulated digitally,” he continued. . “Then that person could illegally and potentially covertly inject it into the system, thereby disenfranchising and diluting my vote, and in this case the votes of other registered voters, without being arrested.” It can be made into
“Irreversible damage may have already been done, but by prohibiting the Dallas County Elections Office from releasing this information, we can reduce potential future damage to our election system,” Wernick said. It's possible,” he added.
Blaze News replicated the process Wernick used to access his own ballot using another Texas voter's information. The result was the same. The ballots displayed online lacked the “sample” watermark, included timing marks, and had Garcia's initials at the bottom, just like Wernick's.
Rick Wieble, who appeared in Dinesh D'Souza's documentary “Certain Trump,” and who has repeatedly sought to expose vulnerabilities in election systems and software accumulators, said, “This ballot should be printed and exchanged. It can be used for injections or injections…there is no timing.'' The sample ballot must be marked or initialed. ”
In a statement to Blaze News, the Texas Secretary of State said, “We cannot discuss formal complaints about elections because that information is considered private.”
“It can be pointed out that printing a sample ballot is not a means of inserting it into the electoral process, as both in-person and mail-in voting have ballot checks. There is no way to use paper,” the Secretary of State added.
Dallas County Elections and SOE Software did not respond to requests for comment.
