Who Is Dominion Voting Systems?
Remember those unfortunate but clearly one off operator errors in Michigan that flipped thousands of votes to Biden while flipping whole down ticket races? They were using Dominion Voting Systems per the Washington Examiner’s report.
In a Washington Examiner report on a Fox News interview published today, new information was provided regarding Dominion Voting Systems:
Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell accused a leading voting machine firm of stealing votes from President Trump.
Powell, the lead attorney for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who is helping Trump’s legal effort in the 2020 election, said on Sunday that people with links to top Democrats are using Dominion Voting Systems to commit “fraud” on elections. She did not present any evidence to support her claims.
Mentioned during a Fox News interview by host Maria Bartiromo were Nadeam Elshami, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s former chief of staff who last year became a lobbyist for Dominion, and Richard Blum, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband, who she said is a significant shareholder in the company.
“They have invested in it for their own reasons and are using it to commit this fraud to steal votes. I think they’ve even stolen them from other Democrats in their own party who should be outraged about this also,” Powell said.
…
The company, which has a lock on a third of the voting machine market according to Bloomberg, has faced scrutiny in the past couple of days with voting problems reported in parts of Michigan and Georgia, although the company and local officials have discounted the idea that the software was to blame.
Dominion has customers in 28 states and Puerto Rico, including all of the battleground states where Trump and his allies are contesting and pinning their hopes on recounts after media outlets called the presidential race for Biden.
Justice Roberts, this is coming straight at you at warp speed. Endorse this vile corruption and your place in the annals of traitors to the republic is assured for all time.

On other posts I’ve asked if a vote only for Biden on all those ballots is “proof” of fraud. Sidney Powell thinks so, but I wonder. Maybe they will be able to tie those ballots to “imaginary people.” I hope she is right. It is certainly hugely suspect.
Then there is this:
https://www.dcclothesline.com/2020/11/07/breaking-operation-scorecard-cia-run-vote-theft-software-was-running-in-every-swing-state-glitches-switched-votes-from-trump-to-biden/
If the “single vote for Biden” percentage of total votes is substantially out of alignment with percentages in comparable districts, you’d have a reasonable argument for Republican state legislatures in the affected states to demand, at the minimum, a revote.
I’m not sure what Roberts could do, though, besides throwing the question back to the states. This isn’t a “stop the counting” decision. This is a question of the integrity of federal elections, yes, but isn’t that still the provenance of the individual state legislatures?
A revote on paper, I hope.
Right, lots of ballots with a single vote for Biden is not proof.
But it is a big clue to help find the specific method of fraud. So it should lead us to proof.
It would hardly be the first time the federal government has intervened to protect the civil rights of a state’s citizens from the corruption of their government. The southern states have been under the supervision of the Justice Department with regard to elections for decades arising out of court decisions regarding racism.
There will be no re-votes. The only remedy is a state legislature overriding the vote outcome. That won’t happen.
I am not buying the fraudulent voting machine idea. The election was rigged by sending out 100 million paper ballots and then harvest those for up to 7 weeks. It is not the counting that is bogus is the deviation from state voting rules that is.
This is so scary – I wonder how much Soros has in Dominion stock………….
And the barring of legally required observers was just a good old fashioned tradition and not of any consequence unless a shiftless sheriff actually fulfills his responsibilities. I’ll leave the remedy selection to the justices, they have surprised for better and for worse in the past. The notion that they can mandate busing and place the south under DoJ supervision for elections but are suddenly hapless in the current instance lacks substance.
Interesting thread, via Twitchy:

Now *that* is powerful.
(How come some of the best information is being distributed in this goofy multi-tweet format? That’s just wrong. Startup idea: a variation of Twitter that is able to quickly disseminate information like this in a deluxe way.)
Raising a very significant question: where in the hell is AG Barr and his vaunted DOJ? This is an issue squarely presented under the Constitution of the United States of America! And, why hasn’t the Supreme Court granted writs in the case about the high court of Pennsylvania re-writing the words of the state Legislature, also a clear issue under the Federal Constitution? Where ARE our institutions at this critical time?
Dominion is the Canadian word for “Diebold.”
And what were they thinking anyway, die bold. Self awareness is in such short supply, but if you tell them that they’ll never thank you.
And Dominion, of course, refers to the home world of the all conquering alien race Dominators from Justice League that came by to eat the Sun or something. Excellent name for a company.
I’m pretty sure… checking…
Yeah, the Diebold Bahmann Safe Company was founded by Charles Diebold in 1859.
They acquired the Global Election Systems in 2002, and rebranded that product to Diebold.
And rebranded again it in 2007 to Premier Election Systems.
It’s not even the best information. Check out Scott Adams’s Twitter feed. Sorry for no link, but it’s not hard to find.
Dominion was also the name of the prime enemy in the latter seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Found this : Smartmatic created the Dominion software. Smartmatic is run by Lord Mark Malloch Brown who works for George Soros. https://centipedenation.com/transmissions/the-election-software-system-in-michigan-that-switched-6000-votes-from-trump-to-biden-is-called-dominion-it-is-used-in-30-states/
The key to overcoming the fraud in states like Michigan seems to manually recount votes county by county. The SCORECARD system alters the vote counts after they are sent, but the original ballots remain as evidence. The system automatically redistributes the total votes to a 3% margin. According to the interview, the system was successfully used in the Democratic primaries from South Carolina on, otherwise it was expected that Bernie would have won. Interestingly, in the McInerney interview, the system was tried in the 2016 election, however, by fortunate happenstance, it failed to produce the expected result for Clinton. Since then, the Democrat operatives have incorporated some sort of backup.
The voting machines are not secure and are hackable. Richard Ramsfield (cyber security co. who was called to look at the KY race) pretty much lays out 2018 KY governor loss. All the undervotes went to Bashear as did 20% of the Republican vote. I would argue that race was a test run for today, top of the ticket lost, all the other Republicans won with over 200,000 votes. He also has a CNN clip where vote swapping happened. In one update, Bevin went down 560 votes and Basher went up the same. That is computer controlled third party.
Bev Harris/Bennie Smith proved it can. He wrote a program that worked so he could sit in TN and change vote percentages in Alaska.
We are kind of dumb and innocent as to how things can be manipulated. The old fashioned vote here or there is not thinking grand enough.
The paper ballots are part of it. There are multiple avenues to approach getting enough votes. FBI Stork said they had an insurance policy against Trump in 2016, this time they took out a larger policy it seems.
I would suggest that many applications were requested started ahead of time, fraudulently, then held onto until they were needed. I think I could coordinante something like that. They had to go big because they underestimated Trump again.
The late night count and dump were emergency ballots brought in, counted and dumped. We are supposed to believe that one batch of 136000 ballots were not randomly mixed with Trump and other party votes from mail collection, the boxes were somehow separated somewhere. After that count, in Michigan, only Biden’s total went up.
The custody of the ballot is important.
I feel like if I put money in my bank account and it went to someone else’s I wouldn’t let it go. I undervote, typically, and it really bothers me that I spent about $300 supporting candidates, went to vote, and that vote may have went to Biden, unbeknownst to me.
So now a video of an interview with Gen McInerny with Steve Bannon is circulating on the internet with the General describing a program, Hammer, and an addition to that system called Scorecard, that were developed by an unusual character, Dennis Montgomery, a controversial character, and sold to the federal government, that ostensibly change votes in computer systems, that the CIA used to interfere with elections abroad, that he alleges was weaponized by the Obama administration to change votes in US elections (flagrantly illegal of course). So he is saying the CIA weaponized this software to use against domestic political opponents. He states that the software was used against Bernie in 2016. He also says an attempt was made to use it by the Obama administration in the 2016 general, but that it did not work. Hence Trump’s victory. Now he is saying it was used against Trump in this election. The interview was during the day on Nov 3 apparently, and McInerny describes how it is used in the dead of night to change votes on the machines. That was before such events occurred with everyone going to bed with Trump leading and everyone waking up to find Trump behind. He specifies that the vote change is set at 3%, enough to potentially change outcomes without raising suspicion? Sidney Powell was on the interview with him.
So Sidney Powell says that all the voting machines need to be audited.
Is this insane conspiracy theory? Unfortunately, after the Russia Hoax, and the vast deception, deceit, and malfeasance of Brennan, Clapper, Comey, et al, the Mueller investigation, Impeachment, etc etc, it is all too plausible that it actually happened. With Biden in the room when the Obama administration was engineering the weaponization of the Intelligence services for political purposes, it becomes all to easy to believe that Biden meant what he said when he stated that the Democrats had built the most extensive election fraud operation ever put together….
When you read a story in the paper and you are an expert and the writer doesn’t know what they are talking about, you get mad, then turn the page read another and believe it all. I think that is Michael Crighton’s observsation that has a name, some amnesia thing.
The Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect
@namlliTnoDo
So I’m just suffering from the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect? Should I feel relieved, or is that an indication that I’m becoming demented or psychotic?
It seems to be the typical human condition.
Here:
I find that explanation is too complicated for many people to understand quickly. So I usually go for something like this:
Most people, probably including you, find that when they read a newspaper story or see a TV story about something they have direct experience or knowledge of, like maybe you were actually THERE, they say the media got the story wrong in some ways. Sometimes very important ways. So, given that when you have personal experience of the situation, you see how often the media gets things wrong; is it more reasonable to assume that the media is 100% correct about all the stories you DON’T have personal knowledge of? Or is it more likely that the media is also wrong about those other stories, but you just don’t know it personally?
Wikipedia gives an overview of Dominion and who owns it, where HQ are etc. Apparently these “software” glitches have happened before – if you go to the bottom and look at all the stories from races that used the machines, there could be a pattern. This one also resulted in the liberals winning after a neck and neck before the voting was halted in 2014:

Reports include glitches from “off the shelf” software and uploading from cards – so much of what goes into anything electronic has usually been imported and pieced together……say from China? Hanging chads weren’t this bad……….

Someone should make a copy of that soon, before it gets “scrubbed.”
