*Re*:*Notice of Prospective Litigation; Demand for Records Retention*
Dear Secretary of State, Steve Simon:
I am an aggrieved citizen of the United States and of the state of
Minnesota, and I am contemplating filing a lawsuit against the relevant
parties pertaining to the continuing concerns I have regarding the
integrity of all elections that took place after December 31, 2019.
Accordingly,* I hereby notify you and instruct you to retain any and all
documents and other materials related to all post-2019 federal and state
elections through the date of this letter and continuing thereafter.*
As you are likely aware, federal and, in many cases, state law requires
that all records and papers which come into the possession of an election
official relating to any application, registration, payment of poll tax, or
other act requisite to voting in the such election be kept and maintained
for a period of twenty-two months from the date of the respective election.
Among the records and papers that must be maintained are paper ballots and
records, which may be necessary for a post-tabulation audit.
Given the litigation I am contemplating commencing in regard to the
post-2019 elections, I demand that you retain any and all records,
including, but not limited to poll books; precinct register pages with
signatures and button text; all voting machine tapes AVC and ICX; all
results reports including the worksheet, the ICC results printout, the ICX
results report, and the challenge removal reports; all public and
protective count sheets for early voting; all elections verification forms
for early voting; all records of elections submitted after the election
reflecting all machines used in the election even if delivered on Election
Day; all notation of irregularities reports; the list of early voters
checked during preparation and verification; the reports printed from any
voter registration computer system reflecting every individual given credit
for voting Election Day, early voting and absentee by mail; up-to-date
turnout reports for each county or parish in the state; and AVC layout
sheets showing lockout information in each precinct.
In addition, please retain all information and documents pertaining to
temporary hires, including hires from any public or private entity, for the
purpose of elections; solicitation letters to qualified electors to
participate voluntarily or for payment to work the election polls; any and
all contracts signed by authorities vested in you with federal or state
entities, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other public or private
entities (including but not limited to Craig Newmark Philanthropies and
Facebook that have contracted, are currently contracting or otherwise
engaging in any transactions or business with any federal or state entity
to provide services, which may include but are not limited to
cybersecurity, training, monitoring, transportation paper shredding, and
other services ostensibly for the purpose of ensuring election integrity.
This request also encompasses any and all communications, documents,
e-mails, text messages, voice recordings, and other information or tangible
evidence in your possession transmitted between or among public and private
entities, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and/or the
Center for Internet Security, Inc.(CIS Security), including its subsidiary
such as Elections Infrastrcture Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI
ISAC), relating to post-2019 federal and state elections.
This notice requires you to retain any and all records pertaining to any
post-2019 federal or state election *until notified in writing of the end
of the retention period, including any election that may take place
subsequent to the date of this letter. *In the event the law mandates that
a record retention period be specified, please note that all records must
be maintained *until at least September 3, 2023*.
This records retention hold, and notice suspends any normal deletion
requirements for documents, e-mail, and other information that may
otherwise apply. Do not destroy, delete or in any way alter any paper or
electronic information relating to my prospective claims or the other areas
of interest mentioned above. *Be sure to communicate this requirement to
the employees who work under your supervision.*
In determining what information you may have in your possession, custody or
control that is pertinent to the claims described above, you should
consider the following sources: paper files maintained by you or your
department, whether in the office or elsewhere; personal notes, calendars
or diaries; information maintained (or stored) electronically by you on any
personal or company computer, network, smartphone, compact disc or DVD,
jump drive, or any other electronic storage media; e-mails; voicemails; and
text messages. This listing is not intended to be an exclusive listing of
potential sources.
If you have possession, custody or control of any information, whether in
paper form or electronic form, pertaining to my prospective claims, you are
instructed to take immediate steps to preserve it in its original form. For
example, do not delete any emails, internet files or other computer files
containing information pertaining to the claims. You should also take steps
to ensure that emails and files will not automatically be deleted by the
system. Once you have identified any relevant information in your
possession, please coordinate with me to ensure that I am provided with a
copy of it.
If you are aware of any person employed by or otherwise affiliated with
your organization, whether presently or formerly, who may have information
pertinent to my prospective claims, please provide me with that
information. In addition, please make sure that any person who is assigned
to manage the computers or files of your organization that may contain
information pertinent to my prospective claims is immediately informed of
the requirements set forth in this letter. You must ensure that any such
person does not delete any information and makes arrangements to preserve
the information contained on the computer or in the files.
To the extent you have any concerns or questions in this regard, please
contact me. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
