RE: Allegation of computer fraud in the 2015 general election -- Shin-Bet standing relative to the Central Election Committee's IT systems

Your response within 45 days is kindly requested, pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Reform Act (1958).

Dear Mr Argaman:

Publications, which started abroad a few days after the 2015 general election for the 20 th Knesset, and which were later followed by publications in Israel, raised suspicions of material computer fraud in the 2015 general election. Therefore, I filed a FOIA request with the Central Election Committee [CEC], in an attempt to document development, validation, implementation, operation and security in compliance with binding standards. [1]

The names of three attorneys appear on the perverted CEC's FOIA response: 1. Elad Naveh - FOIA Officer; 2. Orly Adas - Central Election Committee CEO, 3. Dean Livneh - Central Election Committee Legal Advisor. [2]

Reply on the CEC's FOIA response notes that the information, which was provided in the response, was partly invalid, party misleading, and failed to provide the key records which had been requests, including but not limited to: [3]

  • According to the CEC's response, validity and integrity of the CEC's IT systems mostly depended on one person - Mr Lazar Dudovitch, whose lawful appointment record the C EC failed to provide. The C EC also failed to provide the requested certification records, pertaining to validation of the systems by the same person.
  • The C EC 's response tries to represent the publication of the election returns in the C EC 's web site as an automatic, no human touch, one time only, and unchangeable process. The CEC also failed to provide the requested documentation regarding the person, under whose authority such information is published in the CEC web site. However, adulterations of the data on the C EC's web site have been repeatedly documented in recent months ...
  • The C EC claims in its response, "the systems were examined and certified by the authority [Shin Bet-Reem -- jz]", but the CEC failed to provide any of the requested documentation of such certification. In contrast, the State Ombudsman's report following the 2015 general election indicates critical failures in system security (no valid entry log) , which had not been corrected following his report on the 2013 general election .
