- For example, President Trump and others frequently cited ASOG’s finding that the Dominion machines had a “68% error rate,” but that conclusion was based on a complete misunderstanding of the scanner log files reviewed by ASOG. Their report also claimed that, due to these perceived “errors,” a “staggering number of votes” were determined through an adjudication process that allowed for manipulation of votes, but no adjudication software was installed on the Dominion machines.
