Dominion Voting Systems, which claims to work with 1300 voting jurisdictions including nine of the 20 largest counties in the nation, produced the software used in Michigan that erroneously gave Democratic candidate Joe Biden a 3,000 vote advantage in Antrim County. After the glitch was fixed, it was discovered that President Donald Trump actually won the county by around 2,500 votes. According to WLNS:The World Tribune reports that suspect voting tabulation company Dominion Systems has ties to Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and various other Democrats:An entire Michigan county has flipped back to it's [sic] historically republican roots after a manual recount of votes. Officials with Antrim County posted updated results showing President Trump won the county with 9,783 votes making up 56.46% of ballots cast. Joe Biden earned 7,289 votes or 42.07%. The county initially "went blue" and showed a win for Biden before the error was discovered.This wasn't the only known error attributed to software provided by Dominion Voting Systems. In hotly contested Georgia, two counties had to extend their voting deadlines to accommodate for delays produced by a last-minute software update. This was called "unprecedented" by local election officials.
Antrim County officials have blamed the county's election software saying totals counted did not match tabulator tapes. 6 News has learned the "Dominion Voting System" is used Antrim County. That system is also used in 64 other counties across the state including, Ingham, Jackson, and Shiawassee, locally.
In Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Nevada, the vote counts are being closely watched. Members of the Trump campaign have called for transparency and monitoring of the ongoing vote tallies while the Biden campaign has called for "all votes to be counted." But with questions about the software that is counting millions of the votes, it's likely the Trump campaign will want further scrutiny placed on numbers coming out of jurisdictions that work with Dominion Voting Systems.
Editor's Note:
This is beyond suspicious. With reports of "The Hammer" and "Scorecard" being used to steal the election, additional attention needs to be put on Dominion Voting Systems. If the fix is in, this company may be involved.
Dominion Voting Systems has ties to prominent Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Bloomberg reported in April of last year that Dominion Voting Systems hired a high-powered lobbying firm that includes a longtime aide to Pelosi. They hired Brownstein Farber Hyatt & Schreck. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi's former chief of staff, is one of the lobbyists on the account.
In 2014, Dominion was listed in the Washington Post table as having donated between $25,001-$50,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Voting machine manufacturers have acknowledged that some of their equipment allows for the transmission of election-night vote counts via modem, a vulnerability security experts say hackers could easily exploit.
In Georgia, glitches with software updates on Dominion Voting Systems equipment were reported in contested polling locations in Morgan and Stanley counties.
Due to the glitches, Superior Court Judge W. Fletcher Sams extended voting until 11 p.m. on election night. The counties use voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems and electronic poll books — used to sign in voters — made by KnowInk.
The companies "uploaded something last night, which is not normal, and it caused a glitch," said Marcia Ridley, elections supervisor at Spalding County Board of Election, Politico reported. That glitch prevented pollworkers from using the pollbooks to program smart cards that the voters insert into the voting machines.
Ridley said that a representative from the two companies called her after poll workers began having problems with the equipment Tuesday morning and said the problem was due to an upload to the machines by one of their technicians overnight.
"That is something that they don't ever do. I've never seen them update anything the day before the election," Ridley said.
Neither Dominion nor KnowInk responded to Politico's request for comment. A spokesperson for the Georgia secretary of state's office also did not respond to follow-up questions about who uploaded the dataset and whether it had been reviewed and tested by anyone beforehand.
Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito ordered all of the county election boards in Pennsylvania to segregate all late-arrival ballots from the rest of the mail-in ballots and to keep them separated when the voting is conducted in a Friday night ruling.Boockvar's 2012 video surfaced:
Earlier Friday, the Pennsylvania Republican Party had called upon the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case related to Pennsylvania's own Supreme Court, allowing the extension of the counting of mail-in ballots to three days after Election Day.
Judge Alito responded:"All county boards of election are hereby ordered, pending further order of the Court, to comply with the following guidance provided by the Secretary of the Commonwealth on October 28 and November 1, namely, (1) that all ballots received by mail after 8:00 p.m. on November 3 be segregated and kept 'in a secure, safe, and sealed container separate from other voted ballots,' and (2) that all such ballots, if counted, shall be counted separately.Trump campaign lawyers have repeatedly urged the Supreme Court to take up the Pennsylvania case this week. The GOP told the Supreme Court on Friday:
"Until today, this Court was not informed that the guidance issued on October 28, which had an important beating on the question where to order special treatment of the ballots in question, had been modified. The application received today also informs the Court that neither the applicant not the Secretary has been able to verify that all bards are complying with the Secretary's guidance, which, it is alleged, is not legally binding on them."Republican Party of Pennsylvania has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari asking this Court to resolve the important questions of federal law implicated by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's 4-3 decision extending the General Assembly's Election Day received-by deadline and mandating a presumption of timeliness for non-postmarked ballots.Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, had filed a response on behalf of Kathy Boockvar, the secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on Thursday related to Trump campaign efforts:
"In particular, RPP asks the Court to order Respondents Secretary of State Boockvar and the county boards of elections to log, to segregate, and otherwise not to take any action related to any ballots that arrive after the General Assembly's Election Day received-by deadline but before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's judicially extended deadline. Given the results of the November 3, 2020 general election, the vote in Pennsylvania may well determine the next President of the United States — and it is currently unclear whether all 67 county boards of elections are segregating late-arriving ballots.""Because the Trump Campaign cannot satisfy the standard for intervention as of right or by permission, the motion should be denied. This matter has been pending before this Court for nearly six weeks. One day after Election Day, and for the second time in this case, the Trump Campaign has filed a motion for leave to intervene. The Trump Campaign's first motion was properly denied by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court because its generalized grievance in maintaining the electoral status quo was insufficient to justify standing or intervention. That defect has not been cured by the passage of time.In late October, Pennsylvania's secretary of state issued an order to county election boards saying that "all mail-in and civilian absentee ballots delivered by the USPS and received between 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 and 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 6, 2020 shall be kept separate and segregated from all other voted ballots" and that "the county boards of elections shall not pre-canvass or canvass" any of those ballots "until further direction is received."
"In an effort to obviate the need for further proceedings before this Court, counsel for RPP contacted counsel for county boards of elections to request confirmation that the boards would segregate any late-arriving ballots" and that 42 counties "affirmatively responded that they would do so, and no county indicated that it would not" while the Pennsylvania Secretary of State "requested such confirmation and received it from 33 of those counties.
"To date, a total of 25 Pennsylvania county boards of elections have not indicated whether they are segregating the late-arriving ballots."
But the GOP said the Supreme Court should issue an order to make sure of that."In short, an order from the Court is badly needed. But given some county boards' refusal to confirm that they are segregating ballots and the Secretary's changing guidance, an order requiring segregation of ballots may not suffice to preserve RPP's appellate rights. An order at this juncture is necessary to preserve this Court's jurisdiction to resolve this matter on the merits, as well as its ability to enter an appropriate remedy for this general election."The Trump campaign argued this week that the Supreme Court should be the final arbiter after the high court decided late in October that it would not expedite its review of the matter before Election Day."The United States Constitution is clear on this issue: the legislature sets the time, place, and manner of elections in America, not state courts or executive officials. As the President has rightly said, the Supreme Court must resolve this crucial contested legal question, so President Trump's Campaign is moving to intervene in the existing Supreme Court litigation over the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's unlawful extension of the mail-in ballot receipt deadline."Pennsylvania's Act 77 allowed its voters to cast their ballots by mail but required that all mailed ballots be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. It had not changed that deadline during the coronavirus pandemic. But Pennsylvania's Supreme Court said in a 4-3 ruling that mail-in ballots would not need to be received by Election Day, instead deciding that ballots could be counted so long as they were postmarked on or before Tuesday and were received within three days. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party told the high court on Thursday:"There is no reason for the Court to reverse course now, mere days after Election Day. If anything, the need for immediate review has diminished, because any interest in providing clear pre-election guidance has evaporated.To view on SCRIBD, go here.
"The Court's handling of the important constitutional issue raised by this matter has needlessly created conditions that could lead to serious post-election problems. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has issued a decree that squarely alters an important statutory provision enacted by the Pennsylvania Legislature pursuant to its authority under the Constitution of the United States to make rules governing the conduct of elections for federal office.
"This is not a denial of a request for this Court to order that ballots received after election day be segregated so that if the State Supreme Court's decision is ultimately overturned, a targeted remedy will be available."
Some think the Dem's subterfuge to hide their corruption will lead to a Trump win:
Along with Pennsylvania's Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf and Democrat Secretary of State Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar publicized her opposition to the president in a tweet shared in 2017.
Corey Lewandowski from the Trump team spoke yesterday on how the Trump team had to get a court order to be allowed to review the ballot counting process in the state of Pennsylvania. When they were finally given access, they were denied entry.Caught on camera? Penn officials say video of 'crooked' ballot workers is 'altered' and false:
By hiding their activities the Democrats have prevented the proper review of the 1.3 million ballots counted in Pennsylvania. Democrats broke the law in not permitting a review of their process in awarding 1 million of those ballots counted since the election for Biden which helped Biden overcome the President's 700,000 vote lead.
Now this evening Justice Alito issued an order for Pennsylvania to set aside all ballots received after 8pm on election day in PA.
If and when this is addressed in front of a court, those votes which were counted during the period of spoliation [destroys or withholds information] may be excluded, thereby giving the President the victory in Pennsylvania and perhaps other states where this occurred, since the President was way ahead in the election on election night in these states.
Viral video footage shared on social media showing election workers in Delaware County, Pennsylvania filling out blank ballots sparked accusations of fraud. However, officials there say they were just transcribing damaged votes. WATCH THIS:See also:
Delaware County officials have called these videos "manipulated." In a press release on Friday, county officials said that while the videos are genuine, and taken from a live stream of the counting room, they are zoomed in and don't show the "bipartisan observers a few feet away at each end of the table." According to the press release, the staff were transcribing ballots damaged by an extracting machine, as instructed by the Delaware County Bureau of Elections.
"I warmly welcome the election of Joe Biden as the next president of the United States. I know Mr. Biden as a strong supporter of NATO and the transatlantic relationship. We need this collective strength to deal with the many challenges we face, including a more assertive Russia, international terrorism, cyber and missile threats, and a shift in the global balance of power with the rise of China."
