EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
That the Board consider adopting a Resolution calling for a legally valid 2024 general election.
OBJECTIVE: To help ensure that the 2024 General Election is properly conducted.
CONSIDERATIONS: I am in receipt of a proposed Resolution from the election integrity committee of the
Collier County Republican Executive Committee, which is included in the back-up of this item. The proposed
Resolution advises that “An open-source audit of the Florida 2022 General Election conducted by Florida state
citizens has uncovered evidence of massive inaccuracies that violate both Federal and State laws, including:
• 564,926 ineligible or uncertain registration violations found within the Florida State voter roll database.
• 117,171 votes cast by ineligible or uncertain registrations.
• 88,635 blank ballots.
• 145,309 more votes counted than voters who voted in the 2022 general election.
• No one knows who cast them.
• 205,744 apparent voting violations in excess of the legal standard of system accuracy for a valid federal
election. Maximum allowable system errors for the 2022 general election in Florida was 62.
• Certification as defined by law, an attestation of accuracy and compliance, appears to have been fraudulent
and illegal.
In order to ensure a valid 2024 election, the Resolution requests that:
1. Proof of citizenship and identity to register and vote, not anonymous attestation.
2. Documented chain of custody on every ballot, regardless of entry source, maintained from voter to vote
count to final canvass.
3. Secure ballots, similar to currency. Where imaging technology is used for tabulation, the security features
must be verifiable in the image.
4. Voter rolls certified accurate 30 days before the start of early voting. Voters added after that date must
bring proof of citizenship, identity, and address in person to a qualified official at each polling place.
5. Systems, machines, security measures, procedures, infrastructure, policy, and conduct are required to be
compliant with the law regarding certification, testing, operational validation, and operational
implementation. Any breach will require an adequately strong audit to verify measured outcomes were
within 10% of the margin of victory at a 95% probability.
6. A scientifically randomized audit of real ballots must be performed and meaningfully witnessed, proving
the error rate is smaller than ten percent of the margin of victory. Otherwise, a fully witnessed hand
recount must be performed. All parties with more than 10% of the vote shall have full and effective
observation rights.
7. Election operations and systems must maintain end-to-end chain of custody from voter to vote count to
final canvass, including auditability and witnessed transfer with paper records.
8. Adjudication must be signed-off by party witnesses and candidate witnesses with full and effective
observation rights. Candidates must be allowed immediate access to ballots, images and CVRs.
Candidates may agree to use Party witnesses solely at their discretion.

9. End-to-end audits must be allowed by qualified, insured and bonded security, forensics or financial
auditors. These shall not be personnel from within the election system. Reconciliation will include the
vote count, ballots, adjudication, CVRs, ballot count, voter count, custody transfer, and all other paper and
electronic systems including system logs, if applicable. The aggrieved party must be allowed to select their
own auditor.
10. If the total of all unique variances above is more than 10% of the margin of victory, a new election must
be held in the state for those candidates affected, unless it can be provably corrected by a manual hand
recount with a full review of records.
11. Waiver of requirements is not allowed. Only end-to-end system compliance can guarantee the intent
of the people is accurately recorded. Just obey the law.
I am asking that the Board consider the Resolution, and if the Board is in agreement, adopting it.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with the
Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board consider adopting a Resolution calling for a legally valid 2024 general
election.
