Subject: REQUEST FOR CAST VOTE RECORDS-DIGITAL COPY FOR ALL COUNTIES IN IOWA-FOIA REQUEST

Greetings all county auditors and election clerks,

This is a FOIA request. I am requesting a copy of the report you sent on election night from your tabulators to the Secretary of State.  This report, of the actual votes submitted to the Secretary of State is a report that you generated and do possess.

In this report are the results of the voting for your county, without names or personal information of any of the voters.  Voting results are not sealed by the State. First, they are not sealed, because the report is not a paper document, it is digital in nature.  If they were sealed, in a container, the purpose of the seal would be to make sure that the data had not been tampered with and was available for inspection if there were issues with the election.

I and other concerned citizens of Iowa believe, due to extensive analytics of the State and every county in Iowa, that there were significant issues with this election and even every election held thereafter.  We believe the source of those issues to be external to your office and personnel and it does not involve you or your personnel.  We are requesting that this “report,” generated for the Secretary of State on election night, be removed from storage, digitally copied, and then carefully returned to its proper storage location. We are further requesting that the digital copy be relayed to us as soon as practicable. We can provide you or reimburse you for a digital USB device for transfer of the data.

Relaying this data is your legal responsibility as an auditor or clerk of your county.

Maybe you have not heard about The Moment of Truth rally that took place a few weekends ago in Springfield, Mo, in which they prove that every county in the nation has been hacked.  If you destroy these records after these have been requested, you may be in direct violation of the lawsuit going on right now against Iowa’s Secretary of State for Election Fraud.

Please read the letter again that is attached and even look up the rally on Frankspeech.com. Look up the Tina Peters (Mesa County clerk) case from Colorado and her documentary: https://selectioncode.com/ , this is a shocking documentary.

One of these individuals whom I would say is an expert on election fraud has been to our state and most every other state in the nation and has purposely known that our systems are hackable, along with vast other experts in Cyber security. The following are his direct quotes regarding election security in Iowa:

When I first read this “reassuring” document from Iowa Secretary of State Pate, I was so struck with how misinformed and misleading it is that I couldn’t decide whether Pate was misleading, is evil, or stupid, or willfully ignorant.

But the more I learn about him, and the more I think about it, I am now of the opinion that Pate is All of it:  stupid, willfully ignorant, deliberately misleading, AND evil.

Anyone who claims that their modern electronic devices are “secure” because they are “air-gapped” is unfit for the job.

Anyone who thinks that paper ballots “can’t be hacked” has deliberately ignored the prevalent practice of ballot counterfeiting and ballot stuffing.

Now, I would first of all, not want to believe that of my own Secretary of State.  As a citizen of the State of Iowa, I am requesting this information to prove that he is not the things listed above.

At The Moment of Truth Rally, there was a person there that created the first algorithm back in 2000.  He believes elections have been hacked since 2004. He is also a staunch Democrat (not that that matters, as I am a Republican) and has rallied that the machines be removed in the US ever since 2004. Europe asked him a few years ago how they could make their machines more secure for their elections.  He replied that there was not any way to make them secure–NOT ONE. Destroy the machines and go to a paper ballot method.  All of Europe did that in their last election.

As an election official, I know that you want secure elections as do I.  I hope that you will provide the information requested.  Attached is also a letter detailing this information and instructions if needed.

Sincerely,

Kathryn Heilesen

Subject: Election 2022

Dear Linn County Auditor Joel Miller,

As a Linn County Resident and voter of over 60 years of age, I have become concerned regarding the integrity of our voting system.  I humbly request your attention to assist me in understanding how the state of Iowa is ensuring voter integrity.

Therefore: as a citizen of the Great State of Iowa and under the Iowa Open Records Law § 22.1 et seq., I am requesting the following information:

1. Does the State of Iowa use software, hardware, any other products, or services connected to any foreign entity as part of the 2020 election or the upcoming election?

This includes any/all activities from start to finish (i.e., voter verification methods/signature comparisons, ballot scanning equipment, ballot processing software, modem downloads/access, internet connectivity, modem tape result tabulation/printing or any other step in the voting & election process.

2. Are there any foreign entity contractual agreements in any process related to the election process, specifically, but not limited to, Scytl Election Technologies S.L.U. (also stylized SCYTL)?

If so, please provide a copy of the contracts and direct me to exactly which points in the election process where foreign countries may be involved (actively or passively) and the specific Iowa State Statute that demonstrates this type of involvement is legal.

3. Have there been changes to the current policies from past elections to the upcoming elections?

The United States Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) held a call with election officials, State Officials and agents to discuss cybersecurity in the, then, upcoming election of August 2016. At this time The Department of Homeland Security offered assistance to any state that wanted help securing its’ electronic election infrastructure. DHS sent this to every single state in this great Union. Examples of aid or assistance could include, but are not limited to, the following: fiduciary claims, financial assistance, legal aid, free devices or software, or simply advice from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the election(s)

4. Did Iowa, Linn County, accept help from the Department of Homeland Security for their elections in 2016 or any election held after 2016?

5. Did you, the Linn County Auditor office of Iowa, accept any help and/or assistance in any sort, way, fashion or methods from the Department of Homeland Security?

Due to time restraints via the statute of limitations for the 2020 elections I request a prompt response. A lack of response will be written down as a “yes/positive” in the legal action that will commence.

Please respond to my email (Kim.k.seward@gmail.com) in a timely fashion. Or send me a letter with the information I have requested to my address:

Respectfully,

Kimberly Seward
