Dominion was an insignificant player in the election business in 2004. It wasn’t even a voting machine player at that time. It’s business was software. Dominion did not become a ‘player’ in the election industry until the early ‘10s due to an antitrust lawsuit they brought against ES&S due to ES&S 2009 acquisition of Diebold’s election business. ES&S had to sell some of their Diebold acquired election assets to Dominion. Diebold was the sole supplier of election voting machines to Georgia when ES&S acquired them.
In 2004 in Venezuela there was a recall attempt on Chavez. The recall effort had 3.6 million signatures which was greater than the estimated 2.4 million required. Yet Venezuela’s Council of National Elections said 1.9 million of the 3.6 million were invalid. This caused riots and protests. A valid recall petition was eventually accepted but Chavez defeated the recall, according to the Peanut Farmer Carter there was no election fraud.

I am getting careless. The initial player was Smartmatic, founded in 2000 and emerged significantly in Hugo Chávez's 2004 reelection...
There it is, 2004 ... 2004 - as you pointed out! This must be when the cabal realized that they could establish global control through rigged elections.
They certainly played a significant role in Obama's initial rise from total obscurity all the way to the WH! He was groomed to play a powerful role in the plan.
What you need to remember is that they have a multitude of options to deploy for the steal. It will be different in every county. So vote deletion in one location, vote switching in another, fake pre-printed ballots somewhere else, shrunken ballots (for example, Arizona), etc.
