Voting Machines
In 2019, Democrats were strong advocates for voting system integrity. On Dec. 6, 2019, four Democrat Senators sent a letter to voting system companies providing real examples of voting machine problems, such as switching votes, rejecting paper ballots, vulnerability to cyberattacks, etc. Mainstream media also raised concerns about the vulnerabilities of Dominion and other voting systems before the 2020 election. Yet, after the election, their concerns seemed to simply disappear. Instead, anyone who raised the same questions was dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist.”
Texas has rejected Dominion Voting Systems (DVS) three times for security and efficiency concerns. In an affidavit in the Sydney Powell lawsuit, cybersecurity expert Dr. Navid Keshavarz-Nia stated that the U.S. Intelligence community had developed tools to manipulate vote tallies in foreign voting systems, and these tools were used by nefarious operators to influence voting systems in the United States by covertly accessing them and altering the results in real-time and without leaving an electronic fingerprint. On Oct. 8, 2020, DVS’s parent company received $400 million raised by UBS Securities LLC, whose three out of four board members at the time were Chinese.
The 2020 presidential election saw multiple vote switching incidents.

The county clerk came forward and said, ‘tabulating software glitched and caused a miscalculation of the votes.’”
