he Dominion voting machines arrived in Stark County this week into the Board of Elections.
The purchase was very controversial considering the attention the Dominion company received following the suspect 2020 election.
The county is being charged $6.17 million up front. Via CodeMonkeyZ:
The purchase includes 1,450 ImageCast X voting machines at $3,500 each. 1,450 voting machine leg stands at $350 each. Four mail-in and paper ballot scanners at $25,000 each. Tabulation server for $17,000. Software to run the equipment for $170,000. Software to examine filled-in paper ballots to evaluate voter intent for $35,000.
For some reason, the county officials found it necessary for a controversial voting machine company to evaluate voter intent of local voters. Wow.
The Review reported:
Stark County’s new touchscreen voting machines are rolling into the Board of Elections.
The past couple of weeks, warehouse managers have been accepting shipments of the Dominion Voting Systems ImageCast X machines – which have been a point of controversy in the county. Workers have been opening the boxes, inspecting the machines for damage and testing them.
Travis Secrest, an administrative assistant for the Board of Elections, said the equipment so far has passed all of the tests.
Many of the machines still had plastic film on their touchscreens as of last week. All 1,450 are expected to arrive by the end of August. They’re scheduled to be used for the Nov. 2 general election and during the in-person early-voting period…
…Dominion quoted a retail cost for the new voting equipment of $6.17 million upfront, plus $331,550 a year to cover the software license, the hardware warranty and some ballot printing. The state covered $3.27 million. Dominion extended a trade-in credit of $1.7 million, reducing Stark County’s upfront cost to $1.48 million.
The county will receive:
1,450 ImageCast X voting machines at $3,500 each. 1,450 voting machine leg stands at $350 each. Four mail-in and paper ballot scanners at $25,000 each. Tabulation server for $17,000. Software to run the equipment for $170,000. Software to examine filled-in paper ballots to evaluate voter intent for $35,000.
The rest of the cost covers smartcards, battery chargers, USB drives, a workstation for the Board of Elections to examine paper ballots, backup batteries, training, on-site technical support, seals for the machines, installation, and assistance in state-required logistics and accuracy testing.
Apparently, Stark County, Ohio officials have had their heads up their butts for 8 months.
And another interesting tidbit: These machines can evaluate VOTER INTENT.
Thank god the Rs took the 11/3 Steal seriously and corrected the matter.
No voting machines, no mail-ins. PERIOD!!!!
Is the Sec. of State responsible for this purchase? If so, Frank LaRose is a Republican.
In other words, the machines are Ranked Choice Voting enabled.
Note to OH voters: If you want you votes to have a better chance of counting, go back to dumb voting machines. NOW.
Are these the machines which also do the “weighted voting”?
“voter intent”
Is it an inadvertent mark or a vote?
Better a machine make the decision than leftist judges.
In AZ, WI, MI, PA and GA it is Republicans obstructing the audits.
The Uniparty has been rigging elections longer than we think.
I hope you realize that the computer doesn’t really gauge intent, Intelligently.
It guesses intent to be whatever they programmed it to guess.
They can program it to guess every intent as a vote for democrats.
So it’s not the machine guessing intent, it’s the programmer
In live in Florida and have heard no complaints about our current voting machines.
The biggest problem with mail-in voting was the reckless practice of mailing out ballots indefinitely election cycle after election cycle, long after a person could quite likely be dead or no longer resident.
Are these machines going to just accurately count the fraudulent votes, or will they help manufacture fraudulent votes. Vote by mail has to go.
Yeah, I am aware of that. My point was, if the SOS does purchase the voting equipment, LaRose is yet another RiNO.
Let’s us say a circle is 47% filled, is that a vote or not?
A decision has to be made.
You would not want Democratic district machines having a 25% threshold and Republican district machines having a 50% threshold.
Technology should be uniform state-wide.
Thresholds should be uniform nationwide in case presidential elections are mainly based on the popular vote by the scheme the Democrats have almost put into place.
You would not want Democratic state machines having a 25% threshold and Republican state machines having a 50% threshold.
Here’s an extremely interesting link to a recent lawsuit brought forth by the Stark County Board of Elections compelling the County Commissioners to buy voting machines.
It says in part: {¶ 2} Boards of elections are required to “[p]rovide for the purchase * * * of
* * * equipment used in * * * elections.” R.C. 3501.11(C)
This part blew my mind...READ THE LAST SENTENCE: {¶ 4} On December 9, 2020, the elections board voted unanimously to
acquire voting machines from Dominion Voting Systems. Stark County had
previously purchased voting machines from Dominion, and the elections board has
been using voting machines supported by Dominion since 2010. Dominion is
approved as a voting-system vendor by the secretary of state.
I haven’t read it all yet but here’s the link for you: https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/0/2021/2021-Ohio-1783.pdf
Evaluate voter intent:
A forensic analysis has determined the following instruction, written in C++, in the source code:
“If R selected, switch vote to D”
“Dimpled chads.”
That’s what I keep telling people who keep saying we will win the midterms...Based on WHAT? Nothing NOTHING has been done or is being done about the 2020 theft! So what the hell makes them thing the midterms are going to be a cake walk? The DemoMarxist domestic enemies are going to pull the same crap!! Why wouldn’t they??
So they’re using the same vendor that they bought their last machines from?
How has the county voted in prior elections?
I think the Sec of State certifies certain systems and then a county can chose from those. I don’t know how much of a variety there is to choose from in any given state.
The article reads like the county purchased the equipment and software, not the state
