Dominion software's reputation for reliability may have taken another hit with the claim that Eric Coomer, a vice president and dominion, and the person in charge of the software's security, is an Antifa supporter and Trump hater. This information is disturbing when added to the way in which the software churned out impossible pro-Biden results in the wee hours of November 4 in Democrat-run states following a Trump wave.
Wikipedia has deleted most of Dominion's history. I visited the page a few days ago and read about its origins in Venezuela. If you go to the Wikipedia page today, that history is gone and, in its place are accusations against QAnon. At the "view history" page, you can see
dozens of recent changes since the election.
The primary editor - Molly White - is a recent college grad and bisexual leftist.
These changes, along with endless "fact checks" from leftist media outlets keep burying ever more deeply the history behind Dominion. However, that history is worth dredging up because it goes a long way to explaining where we are now.
As a predicate, remember that the system is so vulnerable to hacking that, in January 2020, Texas's Secretary of State
refused to certify it:
The examiner reports identified multiple hardware and software issues that preclude the Office of the Texas Secretary of State from determining that the Democracy Suite 5.5-A system satisfies each of the voting-system requirements set forth in the Texas Election Code. Specifically, the examiner reports raise concerns about whether the Democracy Suite 5.5-A system is suitable for its intended purpose; operates efficiently and accurately; and is safe from fraudulent or unauthorized manipulation. Therefore, the Democracy Suite 5.5-A system and corresponding hardware devices do not meet the standards for certification prescribed by Section 122.001 of the Texas Election Code.
Texas is right to be suspicious. In
testimony before the Democrat-run House this past January, Dominion was one of the three voting system companies (the other two were ES&S and Hart InterCivic) that "acknowledged they relied on Chinese-made gear":
Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos and Hart InterCivic President Julie Mathis said their companies use Chinese-made LCD screen components, chip capacitors and resistors, arguing that in some cases there's no option for manufacturing those parts in the United States.
(Incidentally, in a January interview about that same congressional testimony, Eddie Perez, of the OSET Intitution, said that the
voting systems (including Dominion) are systemic security problems. Last week, though, he
told AP, "he was not aware of any systemic issue related to problems with Dominion software that would affect the tabulation of results." Hmmm.)
Dominion also has
ties to the Clinton Foundation through its DELIAN project, and
to Nancy Pelosi,
whose aide is Dominion's D.C. lobbyist. Dominion has also been tied to
numerous cases of election fraud.
Comment: It's not just that. Peter Neffenger, who is on Biden's transition team, is
chairman of the board for Smartmatic, which Rudy Giuliani has claimed owns Dominion through a subsidiary, that Dominion uses Smartmatic software, and that Dominion voting data gets sent back to Smartmatic. Smartmatic
denies all such connections. They have been denying such connections
for years. But their denials seem at best misleading.
According to a HuffPo
investigation:
According to the Huffington Post — in an exclusive report that revealed the relationship between Smartmatic, Sequoia and Dominion — "The 'intellectual property' of the voting systems (of Sequoia, acquired by Dominion) remains the property of the company linked to the Venezuelan president (Smartmatic and Hugo Chávez), despite the rather misleading press statement" issued by Dominion in 2010.
The report mentions, among many other details, that the intellectual property "of most/almost all of Sequoia's voting systems was actually secretly owned by the firm Smartmatic", linked to Chavism and the numerous electoral fraud scandals in Venezuela.
According to
this report, Dominion provided Smartmatic with PCOS machines used in the 2010 Philippine election. Their agreement was terminated in 2012. As for Sequoia, Smartmatic
acquired it in 2005.
Dominion then acquired Sequoia in 2010 (purchasing "inventory and all intellectual property"). Dominion itself is the rebirth of Diebold (Dominion bought its assets). Needless to say, the voting machine industry seems quite incestuous.
Trump lawyers Powell and Giuliani are making what media appearances they can. Here are the most recent:

Comment: Top Biden aide Ron Klein says the federal government "needs" to sign off on his team's transition "this week", so they can begin receiving national security briefings and "address Covid." Sorry guys, you can't steal an election THAT easily.
Swamp moustache Bolton appeared on ABC telling GOP leaders that they need to "explain" to voters that Trump lost. A) They don't. B) He didn't. Bolton said the election fraud claims are "baseless." Turns out he has examined all the ballots, audited the voting machine software, and interviewed all the dead voters, and found nothing wrong. Oh wait, he didn't do that. So maybe he can politely explain to himself that he's an idiot, a liar, and a warmonger. Here's Trump's reply:
QED.
