A 2019 report on Dominion Voting Systems' "Democracy Suite" by Texas SOS determined numerous vulnerabilities and issues in the software and hardware—such as convoluted setup, lost adjudication results, incorrect prompts, and power failures.
Certification was recommended denied.
After the examination ended in the recommendation of not certifying Dominion Voting's "Democracy Suite", further reports by Texas State Dept. questioned whether it was "suitable for its intended purpose" and if it "operated efficiently and accurately".
Certification was denied.
Texas officials reviewed Dominion's "Democracy Suite" on at least 6 separate occasions, all of them resulting in recommendations of not certifying it for use.
Further reports on Dominion Voting's machines confirmed that they could be "connected to the internet via ethernet ports", and "many of the security features are not automatic", relying on end users to complete set up.
According to multiple reports, an examiner was able to hook his phone to Dominion Voting machines via a USB port—and though the machine logged the event, it is "unclear" whether the system would've allowed the transfer of data.
It goes on to question the system's "reliability".
Dominion Voting's various systems and machines are used practically statewide, in California, Michigan, Alaska, Nevada, Georgia, New Mexico,and Colorado—also parts of Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Virginia and others.

In the interest of objectivity, I should point out that Mr. Paul seems to have a few things confused.
1. Feinstein's husband Richard Blum actually had ownership in Avid Technologies, a media company whose program intercepted vote tally wire data for news broadcasts.
2. Dominion Voting Systems is actually owned by Staple Street Capital, themselves and offshoot of mega investment firm The Carlyle Group, with ex-Obama officials sitting on the board of SSC, such as William Kennard.
3. Dominion Voting does have a relationship with Nancy Pelosi's ex-Chief of Staff Nadeam Elshami, but only in a lobbying capacity, being part of the Brownstein, Farber et. al. Team hired by Dominion last year. about.bgov.com/news/voting-ma…
Buying Time LLC, ranked #2 of top political vendors, has had $222M pass through them this cycle ($430M+ since 2016), with $186M coming from Tom Steyer's Presidential committee.
They received a PPP loan worth up to $350,000
Rising Tide Interactive was another beneficiary of Steyer's run, with $77M of their $86M this cycle came from services related to his digital campaign.
Rising Tide was approved for a PPP loan for up to $1M, as was DSPolitical—another firm founded by RTI partner Eli Kaplan.
From time to time I feel it's necessary to just spout some thoughts and musings into the ether—to just float ideas into the universe.
This is one of those times.
Over the last few years, especially the past one, alot of people assume my position on many issues—which is natural, given my status and a fledgling independent journalist.
I figure this would be a good time to go through some of those issues.
First of all, I believe in creative, open discussion—which is kinda the purpose of this thread.
I don't have all the answers, but I do believe that discussion—even disagreements—are essential to progress.
Here's the original post that I broke, containing receipts. This donation appears to be a sharp turn in rhetoric for Sunrise, who have been hypercritical of tje billionaire class and their influence on politicians.
Putting aside the usual conspiracies, why is Soros money not a good look for an environmental group? Soros Fund Management owns stock in multiple pipeline companies—including over $2 Million in DAPL owners Energy Transfer, according to their latest 13F filing with the SEC.
She reported over $270,000 in advance royalties from her book, "The Truths We Hold"—but the real juice is diving into where her millionaire lawyer husband, Doug Emhoff, parks his money.
Let's take a look, shall we?
As I said before, Kamala Harris pulled in $270,000+ in advance royalties from her book deal in 2019.
That's where a large bulk of her income came that year.
Now, let's look at some of their investments.
Kamala Harris' husband, attorney Doug Emhoff, is a partner at global white-collar law/lobbyist firm DLA Piper—with whom he has a profit sharing agreement.
That means that a certain percent of every dime they make lobbying gets deposited into an account. That's problematic.
