>Lafayette Group.
Ryan Maciasis an election technology and cybersecurity expert and former election technology specialist with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and California Secretary of State’s office. Macias has worked with various states on election technology and observed ballot recounts. Macias was an observer for the Secretary of State in the controversial recount of Maricopa County, Arizona election ballots in 2021. Macias is also a member of National Task Force on Election Crises,which blamed President Donald Trump for inciting the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Background
Ryan Macias is the owner of RSM Elections Solutions LLC., a company he founded that consults on election technology and cybersecurity. [1] As of 2022,Macias was also working as a consultant on infrastructure security at the Lafayette Group. [2] From 2016 to 2019, Macias worked for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission as a senior election technology specialist while serving as acting director of its testing and certification program his final three months with the organization. [3] Previously, he spent ten years as an election technology analyst with the California Secretary of State. [4] Macias has a B.S. in Business Administration from California State University-Sacramento. [5]
Projects
Macias owns the consulting firm RSM Election Solutions LLC. (RSM Elections) that was formed in Washington, D.C. and registered as a foreign entity based in Oklahoma, where Macias resides. [6] In 2022, RSM Election Solutions also registered with the U.S. General Services Administration System for Award Management and State of Texas with a mailing address in Texas. [7] Macias and RSM Electionshave worked for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on election security issues.[8]
Prior to the 2020 election, in August 2020 Macias’ firm RSM Election Solutions entered into an unspecified contract with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide consulting services. [9] Macias was present in Fulton County, Georgia, after the 2020 election as an observer to the hand count audit and recount. [10] In a 2022 lawsuit in Arizona, Macias testified that a hand count of ballots would be less reliable than a machine count but noted that anomalies have been detected in voting tabulation software. [11]
Arizona
In 2021, the Arizona Senate conducted a recount of the ballots cast in Maricopa County over the objections of Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D-AZ). [12] Macias was subsequently hired by Hobbs as an official recount observer along with individuals from the left-leaning Brennan Center for Justice and the officially bipartisan Democracy Project. [13]
After the Maricopa County recount, Macias filed a declaration with the Superior Court of Arizona for Maricopa County stating that neither the hardware nor software used by the “Cyber Ninjas” auditing team complied with federal certification standards, the hand count did not follow best practices, physical security for the ballots were not followed to the highest standards, and review of non-voting technologies could lead to inaccurate and invalid test results and findings. [14] Macias further criticized the Veterans Memorial Coliseum where the recount was taking place for having improper air conditioning system for ballots, for the types of locks used to secure the ballots, and for the inadequate computer equipment in the room. [15]

Georgia Secretary of State’s Office Hosts Election Security Experts from Around the Country
Joseph Kirk, Bartow County Elections
(ATLANTA) – Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger hosted a roundtable on election security alongside David Becker, founder and executive
director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research. Joined at the
Capitol by more than a dozen experts from organizations including
Microsoft, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Augusta
University, Becker led a wide-ranging discussion on the status of
Georgia’s election security. “Georgia is making great strides in ensuring
that elections in the state are more secure than ever before,” said David
Becker, founder and executive director of the Center for Election
and Research. “I was honored to co-host this roundtable discussion about election cybersecurity with experts from all over the country, including
computer science and election technology experts. Our discussions were another step towards protecting Georgia’s voters, along with Georgia’s move in 2020 to paper ballots, with effective audits to confirm the
technology counted those ballots properly.” “I was pleasantly surprised by how many of the potential issues raised today have already been neutralized by steps our team has previously taken,” said Jordan Fuchs,
Deputy Secretary of State. “Our office will continue working tirelessly to provide each voter with a seamless transition to the new BMD system.” The roundtable attendees also discussed Georgia’s efforts to further
secure its elections. “We appreciate Secretary Raffensperger including
us in today’s cybersecurity roundtable,” said Ginny Badanes, director of Microsoft’s Defending Democracy Program. “We were encouraged by
the expertise at the table and the efforts being made by the state to
create a secure voting experience for the people of Georgia.” Becker
and his panel of experts were joined at the roundtable by a number of
county elections officials, including Bartow County Elections Director
Joseph Kirk and Muscogee County Elections Director Nancy Boren.
“The roundtable provided an excellent opportunity for me to learn more about the new devices we will be implementing and the steps I can tak
e to better secure elections in my county,” said Nancy Boren, Muscoge
e County elections director. Find photos from the event here:
