Who do you tip to win the US presidential election
That's so dumb. The system is connected to the internet. It doesn't matter if you vote on it or not.
So, because they are able to connect to the Internet, they are able to infuence elections in states where only Paper Ballots are used?
Sounds like the precursor to Skynet
Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve." Tamsin (Lost Girl): "He has fallen in battle and I must take him to the Einherjar in Valhalla"
They don't influence elections. They change votes.
In states with only Paper Ballots, I understand
Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve." Tamsin (Lost Girl): "He has fallen in battle and I must take him to the Einherjar in Valhalla"
Oregon...and thats a good thing. I think they've basically adopted the Portugal plan and I suspect they legalized small amounts, so people still gotta be a corporation if they wanna sell the stuff.
Why are Smartmatic and Dominion hiding their direct ties? Why are they scrubbing the internet of articles linking the two companies?
Smartmatic posted a tweet this week outright denying their transfer of technology to Dominion voting systems.
But there is evidence that this is completely false.
In December 2007 Smartmatic announced the sale of their Sequoia Voting Systems to Dominion Voting Systems.
Smartmatic published a press release announcing their sale Sequoia voting systems as shown in screenshot below.
Below you will find a press release from Dominion voting systems announcing their purchase of a Intellectual properties, Hardware and Software that was once owned by Smartmatic.
Here is the link to the press release PDF that is now erased from the internet but can be found by using Archive.org.
Dominion and Smartmatic have both tried to erase their ties by deleting the original press release from their websites.
Many publications linked in Wikipedia articles for Sequoia voting and Smartmatic are now erased from the internet, but you can still use Archive.org to view them as they were when they posted the article.
Many articles correlate this, many mainstream news articles also addressed Dominion purchasing Sequoia although never naming Smartmatic as the parent company owner of Sequoia. If you try and view the Smartmatic press release in the year 2011 on Archive.org it redirects you to Dominionvoting.com which is a clear linkage between these companies.
Last week Smartmatic on Twitter and on their official website released a statement outright denying the supply of ANY TECHNOLOGY to Dominion. This clearly proves that statement factually incorrect since IP, Hardware and Software once owned by Smartmatic has indeed changed hands to Dominion.
Other websites that also correlate Smartmatic and Dominion transferring technology include https://verifiedvoting.org/
This website seems to have been collecting information for years on all different companies and machines and allocating profiles and providing profiles of such companies as Sequoia and Dominion.
Scrolling down to the bottom of Sequoia Voting Systems page on VerfiedVoting you’ll see a manufacture profile which also states Smartmatic sold Sequoia to Dominion. https://verifiedvoting.org/election-...n-optech-400c/
Obviously, Smartmatic is desperately trying to remove their links to Dominion. Dominion, on the other hand, is skipping House committee hearing and lawyering up.
Do innocent companies act like this?"

Dominion Voting Systems committed to attending an oversight hearing in Pennsylvania but backed out at the last moment, lawmakers in the Keystone State said Friday.
“The members of the state government committee were looking forward to publicly addressing the plethora of accusations of Dominion Voting Systems in a format which would have allowed open and honest dialogue. I was impressed at what appeared to be the willingness of Dominion Voting Systems to address accusations, and it would have put the 1.3 million Pennsylvanians who used their machines at ease, including myself,” state Rep. Seth Grove, a Republican who chairs of the Government Oversight Committee, said during a press conference.
“Unfortunately, last evening, Dominion Voting Systems lawyered up and backed out of their commitment.”
Fourteen counties in Pennsylvania use Dominion’s voting systems. Approximately 1.3 million people, or 19 percent of voters, voted in those counties.
“Instead of running towards the light of honesty and integrity, Dominion Voting Systems retreated to the darkness. Why? Why would a vendor of public goods fear discussing their products sold to the public for the public good?” Grove said.
“If Dominion’s products were successful and operated as they were supposed to, why wouldn’t Dominion take the opportunity to publicly review its success? How hard is to say, ‘our ballot machines worked exactly as promised, and they are 100 percent accurate?’”
Dominion did not respond to a request for comment.

“Most of us would agree here that we trust the workers in our polling places, and we trust the workers in our counties. They’re our neighbors and they are people that we elected. But what we don’t know, and therefore we can’t trust, is the role of third-party companies,” state Rep. Dawn Keefer, a Republican, said at the briefing.
Dominion was given the chance “to demonstrate who they were, the services they were providing, the products that they were selling us and how they were being utilized, and give the voters the confidence that they’re looking for,” she added.
Questions that would have been asked included whether Dominion had a role in the tabulation of votes, whether Dominion machines use open source software, and who controls the source code.
Grove suggested subpoenas are possible.
Dominion has a lengthy statement on its website that it last updated on Nov. 17. The company challenged some of the claims made about Dominion machines, including allegations that the company deleted millions of votes for President Donald Trump.
Dominion says it is a nonpartisan company, although it has acknowledged connections with the Clinton Global Initiative and a former staffer to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Trump and his campaign have said Dominion systems are not secure and they have filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania contesting the unofficial election results.
Counties in Pennsylvania face a Nov. 23 deadline to certify the results.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of State’s count, Democratic presidential nominee won Joe Biden received over 81,000 more votes than Trump.
Two months from today, President Biden will be sworn in. I bet he'll use a family bible for the ceremony. I wonder if Ex-president Trump will be invited?
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
Evidence of what... I also notice one of the stories also mentioned the "supposed" ties to the Dems, while ignoring that they also have similar ties to the Repubs...
And this is all evidences of what? No where do I see proof of any kind of actual fraud...
While on the other hand, in case you missed it...
The Trump administration’s own top cybersecurity official, election officials from both parties in all 50 states and international observers have affirmed that the Nov. 3 contest was secure and not hampered by widespread irregularities or fraud.

When the standard of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant (or person being sued) doesn't need to defend themselves or even testify. When the standard is preponderance of the evidence each side should present evidence because whoever presents the best evidence should win the case. So it's not good when you are accused and you lie about evidence or facts and it's not good that you don't go to court to defend yourself.
