American Thinker Apologizes for False Stories about Dominion Voting Machines
American Thinker ^ | 1/15/2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 01/15/2021 9:52:50 AM PST by Kevin C

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement: American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently. These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims. It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

I am a software expert - I’m not going to argue with you, these machines are not secure. It isn’t debatable - all you need to understand is their architecture.

I am a software expert with over 30 years experience.
You are right. There is no debating with someone who responded as quickly as you did, because it's obvious you did not read the audit at all. It's also futile debating with someone who when presented with the evidence they requested immediately moves the goal posts to state that whoever audited it is also in on the "big conspiracy".

IT WAS RESCINDED IN 1982 DURING REAGAN...REPUBS COULD NOT CRY FRAUD EVEN IF THERE WAS FRAUD! That’s one of the reasons I suppose they are so so timid and scared shitless to this day about everything especially calling fraud in elections and DEMs feel so free to constantly do it, apparently!

For approx 20 years they were hands free to do it without possible recourse. And of course the secret money flowing back into their pockets from the ‘new world order’ hoods!

Always been super smart and dirty. They can never tell the TRUTH of their plans...TRUTH would bury them...who wants totalitarianism, communism and socialism...really?

The accusers need to get a voting Machine like was used in the election and whatever accessories and prove what they allege is at least possible. If they can’t do that all of the arguments against Dominion fail. O’Reilly brought up this point last night.

The machine fraud is the key. That would be the place where massive fraud could change the election.

“Did they “go silent” because they chose to go silent, or because they were deliberately censored and removed from the internet? There are a lot of things that search engines used to pull up, that don’t exist anymore. If it is the latter, I would not be too surprised.”

Powell recently posted on Telegraph where she accused PDJT’s advisors of keeping him isolated and lying to him.

They have learned to scam the system with no repercussions and deionize anyone who mentions it.

I don't get a charge out of this!

The government auditing the government. Yeah...what could go wrong?

Anyone claiming the amount of experience you do should understand from an overall architecture point of view that this thing is turd from a cybersecurity point of view. That you don’t seem to grasp that I assume you’ve spent 30 years writing Visual Basic.

Your faith in government is disturbing, to the point where I think you’re on the wrong site.

Let a hardware ‘expert’ chime in.

If there is a way to INPUT to the machine different instructions than those that have been tested and verified and vetted, then the security is definitely compromised.

Blockchain seems to work for software data integrity; but I do not know if there is an equivalent method to be attained by hardware.

The old mechanical machines merely counted.

NOTHING was computed.

Well there are 4-6 different machines involved depending on what is installed. As far as I can tell the only computation of votes is the tally done in the County server which adds together all the votes on the precinct and absentee scanners in order to produce reports for the State board. All of those scanners have audit paper trails of what they counted. Ballot markers print out paper ballots for the voter. All of the hand recounts done in Michigan and Georgia confirmed that the Dominion voting scanners produced correct counts. If there was fraud it was done by ballot stuffing.

Are you sure lol?

“It looks like you can get access to the back panel of a touch screen. And once you have access to the back panel of the touchscreen, you can insert software (into a USB port), you can do all kinds of things you would do to a computer to mess it up,” said DeMillo, a tech expert who is the retired Dean of Computing at Georgia Tech, and former Chief Technology Officer at Hewlett Packard.

Not that things connect to the internet via USB ports but ...... whats worse is if someone trusted to run the machines is actually the threat.

. All of those scanners have audit paper trails of what they counted.

Does this trail indicate a true or a false ballot was counted?

A census in the American southwest won't record the citizenship status of individuals...

....aren’t these the same sources that said Trump was colluding with Russia and he was Putin puppet? I mean I trust an impartial computer expert who was hands on with the machines early last year before a NYT article regurgitating what a Dominion PR exec said in his own defense

I presume you mean legal.
Election workers and observers determine if a ballot is legal or not. The machines cannot tell the difference.
