A report from July of 2019 indicates Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell received thousands of dollars in donations from lobbyists for two of the largest electronic voting machine vendors in the United States â Election Systems & Software and Dominion Voting Systems. Newsweek reported on the donations in noting that McConnell (R-KY) had squashed two separate bills in the Senate addressing election security. The reports were based on an investigation by an outlet called âSludge.â âSeveral of the lobbyists working for ES&S and Dominion Voting Systems have recently made contributions to McConnellâs campaign and joint fundraising committee,â Sludge wrote.
