Where in the world is Ronald Morales?!
Please help attorney David Wilson find him. Ronald Morales is from Venezuela, and is a critical witness to testify at deposition and trial in the Eric Coomer v. Joe Oltmann case, 20-34319.
Attorneys for Joe Oltmann have looked high and low for Morales, also known as “Ronny Valles” and “Ronald Santiago Morales Valles.”
Dominion and Coomer have asserted for years that there is no remote access to the voting systems, and they have nothing to do with Venezuela.
However, Morales is on emails with Venezuela and Smartmatic/Sequoia in 2007 where the steps for the RAS, Remote Access Server, are shared.

Morales joined Smartmatic around 2004 and worked on Election Management System (EMS) quality assurance in Venezuela. After Smartmatic acquired Sequoia Voting Systems, he worked on integrating Smartmatic equipment with Sequoia’s EMS. He later became a senior systems manager at Dominion.
A set of August 2007 emails circulated on sites such as Election Crime Bureau shows Fernando Hernández of Smartmatic Labs in Venezuela writing to Ronald Morales (then at Sequoia) with the subject “RAS Server.” The message lists hardware and software needed to set up a Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) server. Follow-up emails discuss configuration and mention a RAS server and “HAAT Listener” intended for use in Wisconsin.
- August 2, 2007: A Sequoia employee sought clarification from Fernando Hernández on the final step of his instructions, asking directly: “Thanks for the information. I have a question, how do I complete number 4?”. This indicates a need for more detailed guidance on configuring the RRAS service.
- August 2, 2007: Hernández’s response was brief and deferred to local expertise: “Sorry, I don’t know,” he replied, adding, “For sure, the new IT guy working here in the Denver office will know.”
- August 6, 2007: On this day, the same Sequoia Quality Assurance Analyst was engaged in multiple, parallel conversations that shed light on the project. In an email to a colleague primarily discussing challenges with a separate “reporting tool,” the analyst revealed the server’s intended destination, stating, “…all I know to work on is trying to prepare machines for the HAAT Listener and the RAS Server we need for Wisconsin.” He underscored the significance of the task, noting, “That’s going to be a major project.”
- August 6, 2007: In a separate email sent just over an hour later to another colleague, the same analyst discussed hardware and software requirements. After noting, “It looks like a D610 laptop or comparable will work for both the HAAT Listener and RAS servers,” he inquired about a different operating system than the one specified by Hernández: “Do we have or can we get SUSE Linux 9.3?” This exploration of an alternative operating system is typical of a project’s early stages but also shows that the initial specifications from Smartmatic were not being treated as immutable directives.
It turns out that Dominion did keep one of the original Venezuelan’s from Smartmatic/Sequoia, and they may have kept him because he is the key player in understanding remote access.
The “virtual machine + VPN to EMS servers” language that has been circulated separately is attributed to emails involving Ronald Morales.
A virtual machine is certainly handy if you have remote access.
Eric Coomer conceded that a VPN was set up in Chicago for “emergency use” but Coomer did not recall using the VPN access.
A VPN was set up so Coomer could remotely reach an EMS during a 2020 primary in a major city (often described as Chicago).
This is a stark contrast from Coomer’s 2022 testimony before a grand jury to attempt to indict President Trump. When a grand juror asked Coomer if he “rigged the 2020 election” Coomer said he did not have access to do so.
David Wilson needs clarification from Ronald Morales under oath on these issues. If you know of Morales’ whereabouts, please contact David Wilson at [email protected].
