HONDURAS Elections 2017 - Technical Report

This report addresses the transmission and publication systems used by TSE/Honduras National Tribune of Elections as well as image analysis/forensics found on the JPEG files sent and later published online. We found patterns of upload data, anomalies in terms of signatures, and others that make us believe fraud and systematic manipulation was taking place during this election process.

CONCLUSIONS ON THE<br />

PUBLICATION SYSTEM<br />

• We suspect that other means besides ATX devices were<br />

used to update Ballot count reports (ACTAS) as shown<br />

in MER ID 14834 sent from a mobile phone.<br />

• All time stamps in all images indicate an elaborate and<br />

non-random process of updating all the voting<br />

information.<br />

• Most of the images were updated and changed from<br />

1600x970 to 2700x1700 and published like that on the<br />

web, removing all watermarks and all ATX information.<br />

• The shift seen from MER ID 10000 to 18000 is seen as<br />

more than 60% of the missing MER ids were located<br />

within that range coinciding with the shift in the trends.<br />
