HONDURAS Elections 2017 - Technical Report

send it to the “TSE.” A hard copy of the card was shared
among all parties that participated in the count.
The transmission of the report card included information
from the scanner itself (called “ATX Information”). The ATX
information included the device identifier and a time stamp
of that transmission.
Although many anomalies were reported during this election
process, this report analyzes the transmission system,
makes an initial forensic analysis of the scanned images,
and to finalize, analyzes the internet publication platform.
The collected information shows evidence of fabrication of
electoral cards, removal of security features in the scanned
images, and other system anomalies that enabled easy
tampering and modification of the final result.
Specially, the collected evidence contradicts the “rural vote”
theory that was being circulated by Honduran Government
officials. The evidence shows that in all cases where the
report cards were send by car, Juan Orlando Hernandez wins
by a disproportionate amount versus the votes counted from
the cards sent digitally from the ATX machine.
The report focuses specially in an explanation on how the
discrepancy between the results reported by TSE at 1:47 AM
Honduras time on the 27 th of November differs from Today’s
report. We find that the system was tampered and modified
to favor Juan Orlando Hernandez.
