💾BC Elections: Candidate List Mystery - 6
The DURABILITY ANOMALY.
Why is this so important? Who cares if they just "made it better". Right?
WRONG. SO WRONG....How can a candidate booklet quietly wreck the vote?
It’s coil-bound and printed on synthetic plastic. That means pages can be swapped, reordered, or altered with no rips, wear, or creases.
No seals. No logs. No fingerprints. No way to tell. The PDF gets emailed on Day 8. There’s NO PROOFING REQUIRED.
No candidate or DEO approval. It just gets printed and shipped with ballots 5 days later.
That same booklet is used in tabulator setup, adjudication, and legal disputes. But no one verifies it before it enters the field.
Because it’s durable, any mistake lasts. A wrong page gets treated as the right one......AGAIN AND AGAIN IN A LOOP 😱
This is not theoretical. It’s how the process is built. Authoritative. Unchecked. Tamper-resistant.

🧨BC Elections - Surrey, BC Exposed - 4
City of Surrey is using Serv-U Managed File Transfer for vendors to access critical election files.
The software is made by SolarWinds, yes...the same company known for one of the largest cybersecurity breaches in history.
This system allows upload/download of files via direct links, optional passwords, and no enforced file limits. Expiration is set manually per file.
It is designed for easy transfer of files between devices. But clearly not hardened against surveillance or misuse.
The kicker? The PUBLIC RFP (above) literally included the login URL, folder, and password in plaintext.
So not only is the system based on a compromised vendor…
Not only is it hidden from FOI & search engines…
They also left the door cracked wide open.
Where is the security in our elections?
The only oversight? They made sure we couldn't save and archive the evidence.

The file for the pricing of all materials was not found in portal.
This is concerning as it is for an upcoming election 2026 and 2030.
How can vendors view the missing files if they are already deleted?
File folder missing: 1220-030-2025-023

The Procurement for 2026 and 2030 elections
Vendors were directly instructed to access a secure portal for election contracts for 2026 and 2030 tabulators.
The login and password were printed directly inside the official procurement document.
No meaningful protections. No clear transparency.
Critical details routed through a vendor-only system instead of public disclosure.
So the question is simple:
Why is the public excluded from the system that decides election infrastructure?
And why was this portal hidden from visibility but not secured with the same rigor?
This becomes more concerning as the thread unfolds

I got these screenshots from a whistleblower.
The portal is suppose to contain PRICE OF TABULATORS, tariff of fees, and other electoral materials for vendors of procurements to view. NOT THE PUBLIC 🤷♂️
The security? Laughably weak. But the one thing they DID secure?
- Blocking search engines
- Blocking archiving
- Blocking cached versions
So one must ask....where is transparency in our elections? 🤔
NOINDEX = dont let search engines list this page NOFOLLOW = dont let them follow any links NOARCHIVE = dont let them keep cached versions

🍁BC Elections - Authority for Private Equities
Is it really an accident when authority gets locked into a contract?
So...on paper BC Elections is in charge. But in reality?
They cant even print ballots without a private company approving it first.
BTW Dominion is fully owned by a private equity firm called Staple Street.
Call it what u want. Just dont say democracy.🤷♂️

🍁BC Elections - FOIPPA and Ballots 3
Elections BC says ballots are protected under the Election Act.
But the procurement specs say something else.
Ballots are created as digital files. Stored on government systems.
Distributed through the King’s Printer dashboard.
Delivered to vendors through controlled access.
That means ballots are:
-IT records.
-Procurement records.
-System-generated files.
So when they say “FOI doesn’t apply”…
Are they talking about ballots? Or everything around how ballots are created, handled, and controlled?
Because those are government records.
And government records are not supposed to disappear.

BC Elections - FOIPPA and Ballots 2
Lets address the word play being used by the Govt.
In their response regarding @TheRemanded BC Elections audit case...
In the ballot printing contract, they say
proposals and records are subject to FOIPPA
So transparency exists when they buy the system...
But when the same system is used in an election?
Suddenly:
- records are exempt
- access is denied
- oversight disappears
Same ballots. Same system. Different rules
Kinda sounds like transparency on paper
and pre-emptive immunity in practice. 🤷♂️

🇨🇦 BC Elections - FOIPPA and Ballots
They told us ballot records ARE NOT covered by FOI law.
But what about the contracts for who printed the ballots? They literally wrote FOIPPA into the printer deals on the procs.
So...If ballots are outside FOI…🤔
Why are ballot printing contracts written inside FOI?

🇨🇦 BC Elections - A Digitally Dependent Voting System
Paper ballots:
-People mark paper.
-BUT machines scan the paper.
-A digital software application counts the votes.
On premises
-Even if machines sit in the room.
-The data can leave the room wirelessly.
-“On premises” does not mean “no wireless.”
No internet voting
So what if you don’t vote online.
Votes are still counted digitally.
Tabulators have wireless capabilities
A computer program calculates results.
