The American Report Intelligence Community Tied To CISA And CISA’s Partner EAC, U.S. Government Agency That Accredited Maricopa Election ‘Auditors’ Pro V&V And SLI Compliance
Cyber Ninjas Expose Massive 2020 US Election Cyber
By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | October 2, 2021
Cyber Ninjas proved that the entire narrative of a ‘perfect election’ presented by Maricopa County, Arizona election officials and Maricopa’s two Election Assistance Commission (EAC)-accredited’ auditing labs were more propaganda than science.
Maricopa County contracted with two EAC – accredited ‘auditors,’ Pro V&V and SLI Compliance.
The Election Assistance Commission, part of the U.S. Government, is closely integrated with and routinely coordinates with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA).
CISA, formerly under the control of CISA Director Christopher Krebs, has connections to the U.S. intelligence community through Krebs and Krebs’ associate Kevin O’Prey, and with private intelligence contracting firm DFI International. President Trump fired Krebs after Krebs insisted that the 2020 elections were secure.
Although EAC granted accreditation to Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, U.S. election laws do not actually require that election auditors receive EAC accreditation.
The badge of EAC ‘accreditation’ carries no legal authority and is simply window dressing that creates the illusion of authority.
The two ‘auditing firms contracted by Maricopa County, Pro V&V, and SLI Compliance, provided a clean bill of health to Maricopa County’s election systems.
By contrast, Cyber Ninjas, the election auditing experts brought in by Arizona Senate Republicans, uncovered massive cybersecurity deficiencies, including shared passwords, deleted election data and logs, and evidence of internet connectivity.
During Cyber Ninjas’ audit process, Maricopa County refused to turn over routers and administrative passwords that had been requested under subpoena.
Chris Krebs’ former CISA Election Security Lead Matt Masterson actually said “the routers aren’t needed to audit election results,” the Arizona Republic reported on May 11, 2021.
According to the Washington Examiner and other news outlets, Dominion Voting Systems released a statement regarding the Arizona State Senate Republicans’ Maricopa County Election Audit and Cyber Ninjas:
“If Cyber Ninjas went through the process of successfully obtaining EAC accreditation, Dominion would of course cooperate, as we do with all federally accredited auditors.
However, not only is Cyber Ninjas unaccredited, but they have also already demonstrated bias and incompetence, including committing a serious breach of the secure chain of custody that protects voting equipment, which has been deemed by the U.S government as critical infrastructure.”
Why were the results presented by the EAC-accredited firms Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, completely contrary to the results presented by Cyber Ninjas?
The connections between Chris Krebs and the Intelligence Community and James Clapper are troubling.
Christopher Krebs worked closely with intelligence contractor Kevin O’Prey at Obsidian Analysis.
O’Prey hired and worked closely with U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper (Ret.) at intelligence consulting firm DFI International.
Clapper received a $50,000 exit bonus from DFI then awarded O’Prey’s DFI branch a contract with Clapper’s Pentagon office that oversaw THE HAMMER and SCORECARD.
Clapper and John Brennan illegally commandeered the super-surveillance system THE HAMMER, according to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.
SCORECARD was one of the exploits that ran on THE HAMMER framework and that secretly stole elections.
On November 7, 2020, CISA Director Chris Krebs took to Twitter to call HAMMER and SCORECARD “nonsense” and “not a real thing.”
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
“After the Maricopa Board of Supervisors voted on January 27, 2021 to conduct a forensic audit of the Dominion Voting Systems tabulation equipment and software that Maricopa County used in the November 2020 General Election…The Maricopa County Elections Department contracted with Pro V&V and SLI Compliance to perform an audit of the Maricopa County’s Tabulation System and Equipment (Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5b),” according to a February 23, 2021 letter from the Maricopa County Elections Department.
Only three voting system test laboratories are currently listed by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) as “accredited by EAC to test voting systems”:
- NTS Huntsville
(formally Wyle Laboratories)
(Status: Expired Accreditation)
- Pro V&V
- SLI Compliance, a Division of Gaming Laboratories International, LLC
The Maricopa County Elections Department contracted with two out of the three EAC Voting System Testing Laboratories (VSTL):
- Pro V&V
- SLI Compliance
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), members of the DHS Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) include, among other election industry private contractors:
- Pro V&V Testing Lab
(contracted by Maricopa County in the spring of 2021 to conduct 2020 election audit)
- SLI Compliance Testing Lab
(contracted by Maricopa County in the spring of 2021 to conduct 2020 election audit)
- Dominion Voting Systems
(contracted by Maricopa County to provide Election Management Systems and Tabulators)
- SCYTL
- Smartmatic
- Election Systems & Software (ES&S)
- Hart InterCivic
On November 12, 2020, members of the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee, including Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky, U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Chair Benjamin Hovland, and several members of CISA’s Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) released the following statement:
“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history…
…There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky’ boss was CISA Director Christopher Krebs.
On November 7, 2020, CISA Director Chris Krebs took to Twitter to call HAMMER and SCORECARD “nonsense” and “not a real thing.”
Krebs also warned Twitter users:
“think 2X before you share.”
On November 17, 2020, President Donald Trump posted the following personnel announcement on Twitter:
“The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly innacurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud – including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, “glitches” in the voting machines which changed votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more.
Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.”

The Whistleblower Tapes:
The voice heard on The Whistleblower Tapes is Tim Blixseth.
Blixseth’s wife Edna Blixseth was in a business partnership with Dennis Montgomery.
Montgomery and Edna Blixseth owned BLXWARE, a company contracted by the CIA and the U.S. Department of Defense to work on classified national security projects.
Blixseth’s voice was secretly recorded by Mike Zullo, according to Blixseth’s own account.
Blixseth contends that he did not provide to Zullo consent for audio recording.
Edited for time.
Christopher Krebs has deep ties to the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and to James Clapper.
There may be a reason why CISA Director Chris Krebs denied the existence of THE HAMMER and SCORECARD.
Christopher Krebs worked closely with intelligence contractor Kevin O’Prey at Obsidian Analysis.
O’Prey hired and worked closely with U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper (Ret.) at intelligence consulting firm DFI International.
As of November 2020, DFI International’s Board of Directors included:
Jeffrey H. Smith,
Former CIA General Counsel for
President Bill Clinton’s Director of Central Intelligence John M. Deutch.
Jeffrey Smith also chaired the Joint Security Commission established in 1993 by Secretary of Defense Les Aspin and CIA Director James Woolsey.
Mike Zullo, who, according to Blixseth and Montgomery, secretly recorded the audio heard on The Whistleblower Tapes, worked for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Posse that investigated Barack Obama’s birth certificate.
Zullo stated that those audio recordings were never intended for release to the public.
Zullo previously stated that he worked under the direction of James Woolsey, and has also demonstrated non-public knowledge of Woolsey’s activities.
Clapper received a $50,000 exit bonus from DFI then awarded O’Prey’s DFI branch a contract with Clapper’s Pentagon office that oversaw THE HAMMER and SCORECARD.
CISA Deputy Director Matthew Travis, who reported to CISA Director Christopher Krebs, previously worked as Vice President of Intelligence and Homeland Security, DFI Government Services, the same intelligence contracting firm that had also employed Kevin O’Prey and James Clapper.
Clapper and Brennan illegally commandeered the super-surveillance system THE HAMMER, according to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.
SCORECARD was one of the exploits that ran on THE HAMMER framework and that secretly stole elections.
Clapper was previously caught lying to the Senate Intelligence Committee about unlawful U.S. government surveillance of Americans.
Brennan and Clapper illegally commandeered THE HAMMER and SCORECARD less than two weeks after the 2009 Inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Clapper and Brennan then transformed THE HAMMER from a foreign surveillance system into an illegal domestic surveillance system, turning America into a communist-style police state and a Stasi-style surveillance state.
Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin famously stated:
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
CLAPPER CONNECTION:
Fired CISA Director Chris Krebs and Krebs’ Former CISA Election Security Lead Matt Masterson opposed the Arizona Senate 2020 Election Audit and subpoena for the Maricopa County election routers and administrative passwords.
Chris Krebs’ former CISA Election Security Lead Matt Masterson actually said “the routers aren’t needed to audit election results,” the Arizona Republic reported on May 11, 2021.
What is Matt Masterson attempting to hide?
Chris Krebs tweeted, “I’m assuming the demand [for the Maricopa County physical routers] is based on lack of understanding of how AZ state/county systems work. I’m hoping they’ll withdraw [the subpoena].”
What is Chris Krebs attempting to hide?
Before joining CISA, part of the Department of Homeland Security, Masterson was the Commissioner of the federal government’s U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
Masterson oversaw the agency’s certification of election systems from election system vendors.
EAC’s Masterson had election systems tested at private contractor “laboratories” in Huntsville, Alabama and in the Denver, Colorado area.
Election security activists and the mainstream media have criticized some of the laboratories used by EAC for operating in secrecy.
According to the Washington Examiner and other news outlets, Dominion Voting Systems released a statement regarding the Arizona State Senate Republicans’ Maricopa County Election Audit and Cyber Ninjas:
“If Cyber Ninjas went through the process of successfully obtaining EAC accreditation, Dominion would of course cooperate, as we do with all federally accredited auditors.
However, not only is Cyber Ninjas unaccredited, but they have also already demonstrated bias and incompetence, including committing a serious breach of the secure chain of custody that protects voting equipment, which has been deemed by the U.S government as critical infrastructure.”
Matt Masterson retweeted a May 14, 2021 tweet by Maricopa County that stated “The 2020 elections were run w/ integrity, the results certified by the county & state were accurate, & the 2 independent audits conducted by the County are the true final word on the subject. We know auditing. The Senate Cyber Ninja audit is not a real audit.”
READER ADVISORY:
The following four short reports about election systems and software used in the 2020 U.S. Election in Maricopa County , Arizona, as well as time-lapse video showing laboratory technicians purportedly conducting tests, were the result of ‘audits’ commissioned by the
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in 2021 and conducted by two U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC)-‘accredited’ Voting System Testing Laboratories:
- Pro V&V
- SLI Compliance
Chris Krebs’ former CISA colleague Matthew Masterson is the former EAC Commissioner and as an EAC executive previously interfaced with EAC’s accredited testing laboratories.
Cyber Ninjas subsequently discovered severe cybersecurity issues with Maricopa County’s election systems, including shared passwords, a lack of security patch updates since 2019, anonymous logins, missing election data, election data from other states on the system, including South Carolina and Washington, and internet connectivity.

CYBER NINJAS’ FORENSIC AUDIT FINDINGS CONTRADICT THE RESULTS PRODUCED BY EAC-ACCREDITED TESTING LABORATORIES
Maricopa County uploaded a video to YouTube purporting to demonstrate the Arizona county’s so-called “forensic audit of ballot tabulation equipment used in the 2020 elections” conducted by “two United States Elections Assistance Commission Voting System Testing Laboratories”:
- Pro V&V
- SLI Compliance
NBC News Investigation: Election Systems In Multiple States Connected To Internet
NBC News reported in a January 10, 2020 article titled “’Online and vulnerable’: Experts find nearly three dozen U.S. voting systems connected to internet”:
“The three largest voting manufacturing companies — Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic — have acknowledged they all put modems in some of their tabulators and scanners.
The reason?
So that unofficial election results can more quickly be relayed to the public.
Those modems connect to cell phone networks, which, in turn, are connected to the internet.”
Voting Equipment Expo
Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer was asked “what is the vehicle for the transmission from the ICP [ImageCast® Precinct Ballot Box], is it cellular modem versus VPN?”
Mr. Coomer replied, “It is a cellular modem that can be configured in a VPN, right, and we currently in Chicago, Cook County we work with Verizon to secure that network.”
