Concerns About Voting Machines

 From The Center Square:

The Dominion Voting Systems, which has been used in multiple states where fraud has been alleged in the 2020 U.S. Election, was rejected three times by data communications experts from the Texas Secretary of State and Attorney General’s Office for failing to meet basic security standards.

Unlike Texas, other states certified the use of the system, including Pennsylvania, where voter fraud has been alleged on multiple counts this week.

Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company headquartered in Denver, is one of three companies primarily used in U.S. elections. The others are Election Systems and Software and Texas based-Hart InterCivic.

The Dominion system was implemented in North Carolina and Nevada, where election results are being challenged, and in Georgia and Michigan, where a “glitch” that occurred reversed thousands of votes for Republican President Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden.

While Biden declared victory Saturday in his U.S. presidential race against Trump, the Trump campaign is launching several challenges to vote counts in states across the country, alleging fraud.

Dominion’s Democracy Suite system was chosen for statewide implementation in New Mexico in 2013, the first year it was rejected by the state of Texas.

Louisiana modernized its mail ballot system by implementing Dominion’s ImageCast Central software statewide; Clark County, Nevada, implemented the same system in 2017. Roughly 52 counties in New York, 65 counties in Michigan and the entire state of Colorado and New Mexico use Dominion systems.

According to a Penn Wharton study, "The Business of Voting," Dominion Voting Systems reached approximately 71 million voters in 1,635 jurisdictions in the U.S. in 2016.

Dominion “got into trouble” with several subsidiaries it used over alleged cases of fraud. One subsidiary is Smartmatic, a company “that has played a significant role in the U.S. market over the last decade,” according to a report published by UK-based AccessWire.

Litigation over Smartmatic “glitches” alleges they impacted the 2010 and 2013 mid-term elections in the Philippines, raising questions of cheating and fraud. An independent review of the source codes used in the machines found multiple problems, which concluded, “The software inventory provided by Smartmatic is inadequate, … which brings into question the software credibility,” ABS-CBN reported.

From Team Candace Owens:

An election worker in Detroit has signed an affidavit alleging she witnessed widespread election fraud in the city leading up to and during Tuesday’s presidential election. In the affidavit, a woman named Jessy Jacob said she directly witnessed her fellow election workers attempting to coach voters to cast ballots for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Newsweek reported.

Biden has been declared the winner of Tuesday’s election by the establishment media. Those are simply projections at this point, but the Trump campaign has vowed to fight tooth and nail to prove the election was “stolen.” The campaign is only just beginning to provide evidence it has promised will show widespread election fraud.

The evidence from Jacob in Detroit, if proven, could potentially show a widespread effort to flip the battleground state of Michigan for Biden. Jacob, in the affidavit, offered a firsthand account of an alleged massive scheme to flip the state for Biden.

“I directly observed, on a daily basis, City of Detroit election workers and employees coaching and trying to coach voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat party,” Jacob wrote. She added, “I witnessed these workers and employees encouraging voters to do a straight Democrat ballot.”

In the affidavit, Jacob also said she was instructed by a supervisor to “adjust the mailing date” of absentee ballots to be “dated earlier than they were actually sent.”

“The supervisor was making announcements for all workers to engage in this practice,” the woman claimed. Republican Party national spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington shared the affidavit on Twitter. (Read more.)

 

Also from Team Candace Owens:

Several Republican Attorneys General have joined in a lawsuit challenging mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania related to the 2020 presidential election. The most recent attorney general to join the lawsuit was Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who said in a statement that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling “allowed absentee ballots to be counted without a legible postmark and overrode unambiguous state law passed by the Pennsylvania legislature.”

 “While this did not occur in Kentucky, what happens in other states during a presidential election matters to Kentuckians because we are electing our President and Vice President,” Cameron continued. “Legal matters like the one involving Pennsylvania set a judicial precedent that not only affects this election, but future elections as well. My interest in this is not about courts dictating who wins and loses, but about transparency and rule of law issues that should give all Americans the confidence that the election was conducted fairly. Ultimately, we all have to accept the results, and it will be hard for some people to do that if they think issues like these go unexplored.” (Read more.)

 

Also from Candace:

One week after election day, Decision Desk called North Carolina in favor of President Trump and incumbent GOP Senator Thom Tillis. Election projectors were awaiting on mail-in and military ballots to make the final call, though President Trump held a significant lead throughout the week following election day. The Trump campaign is requesting recounts in swing states, including Georgia, while the campaign fights allegations of voter fraud in court. Sen. Tillis claimed victory last week over Democrat challenger Cal Cunningham, with a substantial lead that Cunningham was unlikely to overtake. (Read more.)

It is one thing to count ballots, but to me the larger issue is where the ballots came from. As for Philadelphia, over the years people have been indicted and jailed for voter fraud so.....

They are starting to have recounts and they will be able to tell which ballots are legitimate.
