Social media users have been sharing posts claiming that machines from Dominion Voting Systems were used in the 2020 Myanmar general election, implying that they were linked to the allegations of election fraud made by the country’s army when it seized power in a military coup on Feb. 1, 2021. Dominion Voting Systems confirmed the claim is untrue, and Myanmar’s election was carried out with paper ballots counted by hand, not electronically, making this link illogical.

In Myanmar, leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures from the ruling party were detained in an early morning raid on Feb. 1, 2020. The move came after Myanmar’s powerful military triggered worry about a coup last week after threatening to “take action” over alleged fraud in a November election won by Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD).

What they didn’t mention here....based on a survey over the past two months....roughly eight million registered voters have issues in the database (there hasn’t been much discussion over what the issues are).
Myanmar does have a national ID card and you have to register with that in your hand. I would note as well, since the last election, roughly 2.5-million additional voters were added to the registration of the country.
Didn’t dominion brag on twitter about helping myanmar with their election or some such?
If they did, it’s gone now.
I was originally going to write: “If you read it in Reuters, it’s probably not true”.
After reading other comments, though, I’ll say instead: “If you read it in Reuters, the opposite is probably true.”
Ruby Tuesday down in Georgia didn’t need some newfangled computer ballot box to stuff ballots.
Guess the Social media users didn’t fact check with Governors in 27 states.
