Politifact: No, the US military did not raid election software company tied to Dominion in Germany
Politifact ^ | 11/14/2020 | Samantha Putterman

If Your Time is short

Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems has been at the center of unfounded conspiracy theories — many spread by President Donald Trump — that claim Democrats committed voter fraud and stole the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

There’s no evidence that Dominion’s systems were used nefariously in the election, but false claims about the company keep coming.

Posts circulating online claim that the U.S. military raided the Spanish election software company Scytl in Germany and seized its servers for evidence of manipulation in the 2020 U.S. elections. Some posts claim the servers have ties to Dominion.

This is false. Scytl said in a statement that the U.S. military hasn’t seized anything and that it doesn’t have offices in Germany. The U.S. Army, which was identified in some posts as the military branch supposedly involved, denied to the Associated Press that such an event took place.

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

The rumor was fueled by an article on website called "GreatGameIndia" titled "INTEL: US Military Raided Scytl Servers in Germany For Evidence After Vote Switching Scandal." It said, "votes cast by Americans in 2020 US election were counted by a bankrupt Spanish company Scytl in Spain."

The story pointed to comments made by U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, who appeared on conservative TV channel Newsmax.

Did Soros ever have any interest in Dominion?

Two movies on one screen.

The Eloi Left is living in an alternate reality.

Fortunately, the Morlock Right has the noisemakers to wake them out of their dream...

With all of the surprises that will unfold next week, anyone who posts this stuff is very foolish.

It would be smart to wait and see what will be revealed.

I think Powell said a couple of days ago that this did occur. It sounds fishy because I have a hard time imagining the US Army raiding anything overseas.

“unfounded conspiracy theories”?

How do they explain over 100k ballots dropping in key states that were 100% biden?

I just got off the phone with a very good friend of mine who I’ve known since high school. He retired a few years ago as a Col. in Delta Force. He said the same thing. The servers in Frankfurt, Germany were not the Dominion servers. He thought they were some back up servers for the CIA. He did say the Dominion servers were stored on a military base in the U.S., I think he said Fort Bragg. either way he said that Trump’s legal team have them and have been going though them...

We know that ATT's new CEO did/does.

quoting...

AT&T’s new Chairman of the Board is William Kennard.

William Kennard also sits on the Executive Board of Dominion Voting Systems.

Notice this source said that the COMPANY was not raided.

original sources suggest it was actually a CIA operation center... not a private company.

Could’ve not been “physically”? But digitally?

What is the official reason for that?

“I think Powell said a couple of days ago that this did occur. It sounds fishy because I have a hard time imagining the US Army raiding anything overseas.”

It probably was the Army, but the stupid writer is probably thinking of something like a Baghdad thunder run with Abrams and Bradleys being involved.

Just posting what the other side is thinking my friend. As you said, everything will be revealed.

One thing is certain -— two contradicting statements cannot both be right.

* Either there was a raid to get servers in Germany or there was not

* Either Scytl and Dominion are connected or they are not.

* Either the US Military undertook the raid or they did not.

* Either Scytl has servers in Germany or it does not.

BOTH CANNOT BE RIGHT.

I’d say that goes for both sides. There are a lot of people here that are screaming about evidence and affidavits. But with the loss in the PA federal circuit court today the Trump lawyers are now 0 for 23 in their election lawsuits. Either everyone is part of this conspiracy against the election or Trumps lawyers don’t have any evidence. And without evidence Biden becomes President in January.

And even harder to understand is how the board of elections can mail out ballots postmarked and get the ballots back postmarked the same day, the day before or the next day.

And all marked with perfect ovals for Biden only.

I had a very smooth booth and I could not keep all of the ink in the ovals. It looked like some kid marked it. Like some kid in a hurry to get to the bathroom.

The narratives are becoming so divergent that somebody is going to end up completely humiliated.

I never thought it was the military....

As if that’s the only armed group in the US.

Has everyone forgotten the IRS stocked up on guns during the Obama Administration?
