The non-partisan Thomas More Society group, The Amistad Project, announced on Monday that it has demanded the preservation of data in five key swing states.

The demand came after a forensic audit of Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan that said it showed voting errors on a grand scale, Newsmax reported.

"We're filing in all swing states a demand that judges step in and preserve evidence to avoid it from being destroyed or spoiled by the intentional or reckless acts of executive officials," Amistad Project Director Phill Kline said.

It said that the "tabulation log for the forensic examination of the server for Antrim County from Dec. 6, 2020, consists of 15,676 individual events, of which 10,667 or 68.05% of the events were recorded errors."

"The error rate detailed in this report has implications for every state where we have litigation, and it comes on a day when officials are blocking legislators from having their say about elections in their states," he said. "This joins with other compelling evidence that the elections in these states cannot be certified under the law."

The investigators believe that the error rate in the county is not an accident but a feature that is built into the software.

The Michigan Bureau of Election issued a memorandum on Dec. 1 telling its election clerks to delete the electronic poll book files from all laptops and flash drives.

The Amistad Project has asked judges in all swing states to stop officials from deleting the data by filing emergency orders.

"In Michigan, the Secretary of State has ordered the deletion of e-poll books and other evidence and also has taken affirmative steps to seal forensic evidence regarding the flaws in the operation of Dominion machines from both the public and from legislators who need access to this information in order to perform their constitutional duty," Kline said.

"This joins with the Michigan Attorney General threatening legislators with a criminal investigation and possible prosecution if they disagree with her, and the Michigan Governor and other officials shutting down the peoples' house and preventing them from gathering today to perform their constitutional duty,” he said.

The Electoral College voted on Monday for President-elect Joe Biden and it is unknown if any court challenges would matter now.
