Developing: Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff Is Chief Executive and Feinstein’s Husband a Major Shareholder at Dominion Ballot Counting Systems

The great Sidney Powell was on Mornings with Maria and she unloaded on the monstrous amount of Democrat voter fraud in the 2020 election. But during this discussion Maria Bartiromo dropped a bomb as well.

During her discussion with Sidney Powell, Maria Bartiromo shared the following about the firm that runs the application used in Michigan where thousands of Trump votes were switched to Joe Biden.

Governor Noem is right. The media is gaslighting the American public into thinking Biden won.

I’m going with Sydney Powell & Maria Bartiromo. Bartiromo would not have made that assertion if she had not checked it out from reliable sources. Her reputation is impeccable and she is not going to risk damaging it by throwing out false claims.

FWIW a tweet from the guy that runs Metabunk..

“Biden wins!

But the disinformation war will continue from Trump and his surrogates. I’m going to keep fighting it.

It’s important that as many people as possible see this result, while they might not like it, is a legitimate mandate.

Biden REALLY won by 4.2 Million votes”

This is public information. The GOP should have already known of the connections and acted to choose another vote counting system. There aren’t very many of these companies.

I can only speculate that some GOP/Uniparty are ‘of the swamp’ and did not care that this company was dreadfully compromised and thus likely to be biased.

She’ll be our first legitimate female President. I love her, and can’t wait to vote for her. She’s awesome.

Voting Machine Firms Add Lobbyists Amid Election Hacker Concerns

Two companies dominate the voting machine market
Pelosi’s ex-chief of staff represents No. 2 manufacturer
Voting machine manufacturers are increasing their Capitol Hill presence as lawmakers demand they do more to protect U.S. elections against foreign hackers.

Dominion Voting Systems — which commands more than a third of the voting-machine market without having Washington lobbyists — has hired its first, a high-powered firm that includes a longtime aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The No. 1 vendor, Election Systems & Software, added two new lobbying firms last fall.

Members of Congress have criticized those and other companies for their security methods and business practices.

Evidence that Russian hackers in 2016 targeted a software vendor and voting systems in 21 states, plus Russian investment in at least one software company, has driven greater scrutiny of the aging machinery used across the country.

Multiple bills are pending, including legislation that would require paper trails (H.R. 378), and the House has passed legislation (H.R. 1) that would set cybersecurity standards for voting technology vendors that want to be eligible for federal grants.

“The maintenance of Americans’ constitutional rights should not depend on the good graces and sketchy ethics of a handful of well-connected corporations like ES&S who have stonewalled Congress, lied to Congress, have questionable judgment when it comes to security, and have repeatedly gouged taxpayers,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who’s been pressing the companies for information since shortly after the 2016 election.

Washington Advocates
In October, ES&S hired Peck Madigan Jones, and paid the firm $80,000 during the last three months of 2018.

The company also reported hiring the lobbying firm Vectre Corp.

Dominion’s first-ever lobbying firm is Brownstein Farber Hyatt & Schreck. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi’s former chief of staff, is one of the lobbyists on the account.

“We want to make sure that we are telling the story of what Dominion is, and how deeply the company is invested in our mission, hopefully dispelling myths about our industry along the way,” Kay Stimson, vice president of government affairs at Dominion, said in an email.

Both Dominion and ES&S say they are actively working with lawmakers and told Bloomberg Government they are having productive conversations.

“As a priority, ES&S would like to see mandated, consistent cybersecurity testing for all vendors, performed by independent, qualified, vetted, good faith cybersecurity researchers,” ES&S spokeswoman Katina Granger said in an email.

The Brennan Center for Justice, housed at New York University Law School, also reported lobbying on election security last year, as did Public Citizen, the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), identity theft protection company CyberScout, and tech giant Oracle Corp.

Congressional Attention
The ranking Democrats on four Senate committees have asked the three largest voting-machine companies how they plan to beef up their security measures before the next presidential election.

“Impartial elections are the very heart of our democracy, which is why it is critically important that voting equipment manufacturers are accountable for their products,” Sen.Gary Peters (D-Mich.) said in an email.

Peters, the ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, co-signed the letter to the companies, along with the top Democrats on the Intelligence, Armed Services, and Rules and Administration committees.

“I do think there is a growing realization of what an important role they play in our elections and how little information we have about their security practices, who they hire, who owns them,” said Lawrence Norden, the deputy director of the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program.

The U.S. Constitution leaves election management up to state and local officials, so voting systems and protocols vary across thousands of jurisdictions.

An effort last year to impose regulations on the voting machine vendors was opposed by some state election officials and the White House on the grounds that it would impose on states’ rights.

Even a measure that had some bipartisan support (S. 2593 in the 115th Congress) ended up going nowhere.

The measure by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) would have required voting machines to produce a printout to let election officials confirm electronic votes. Lankford and Wyden have said they intend to reintroduce paper-trail bills.

Republicans and Democrats agreed in the 2018 omnibus (Public Law 115-141) to divide among the states $380 million for voting system upgrades.

Federal and state officials say hundreds of millions of dollars are needed right away and more will be needed on a regular basis to keep systems secure and updated.

An example in just one state: Georgia’s legislature approved a plan to spend as much as $150 million on equipment that cybersecurity researchers say is still hackable.

“If you want to deal with election security, it needs to be a continuous effort, it can’t be something that just gets attention when people are fixated on election season because campaign ads are running,” said Jake Laperruque, senior counsel at POGO’s Constitution Project.

Nancy Pelosi's former Chief of Staff, Nadeam Elshami is not "Chief Executive" of Dominion Voting Systems.

Dominion Voting Systems was acquired on 7/17/2018 by Staple Street Capital.

Mr. Elshami is a lobbyist employed by Brownstein, Hyatt et al - that Staple Street hired in both 2019 and 2020 for the sole purpose of lobbying the Department of Homeland Security.

Let's double check our facts and not go down rabbit holes...

Maria does news. When a story is “without evidence” she does not mechanically spout a talking point but rather looks to see if there is evidence to be found.

Dominion Voting machines we used in the 2020 election are linked to the Clinton Global Initiative (Clinton Foundation).

clintonfoundation.org

The DELIAN Project: Democracy through Technology-----Commitment by DELIAN Project to the Clinton Foundation

In 2014, Dominion Voting committed to providing emerging and post-conflict democracies with access to voting technology
through its philanthropic support to the DELIAN Project, as many emerging democracies suffer from post-electoral violence
due to the delay in the publishing of election results.

Over the next three years, Dominion Voting will support election technology pilots with donated Automated
Voting Machines (AVM), providing an improved electoral process........... and therefore safer elections.

As a large number of election staff are women, there will be an emphasis on training women, who will be the first
to benefit from the skills transfer training and use of AVMs. It is estimated that 100 women will directly benefit
from election technology skills training per pilot election.

Any proof Dominion is partnered with CISA? If true only two outcomes- CISA is part of the swamp, or B) CISA ( Trump) has proof of fraud.

Prove that he is involved in its ownership. This would preclude just saying, “It’s on the internet!”

Otherwise, it is just more fake news.
