This year alone, Dominion Voting Systems has spent 150,000 on lobbying efforts focused on "election security" and "monitoring federal legislation" through the firm Brownstien Hyatt Farber Schreck.

The Nancy Pelosi link was first covered DJHJ Media. To understand the scope of Dominion's lobbying connections, I felt it crucial to cover all (left and right) of the legislative connections held by Dominion's 2020 lobbyists.

My latest:

In 2010, Dominion Voting Systems purchased a company that had been under U.S. scrutiny for potential ties to the Venezuelan Chavez regime.

The purchase included intellectual property, hardware, software, and firmware.

#Election2020results

#DominionVotingSystems (a Canadian company) acquired Sequoia Voting Systems in 2010.

Sequoia was sold to Dominion by their parent company, Smartmantic. Smartmantic had Venezuelan founders & collaborative ties companies with partial Chavez regime ownership. #2020Election
In the purchase of Sequoia, #Dominion acquired the company’s intellectual property, software, firmware, and hardware.

Essentially, the way the machines worked, their design, & programming was transferred to Dominion with the purchase.

From "mostly peaceful" to "largely glitch free" 😑

2019: Brennan Center published a report exposing the cyber security & supply chain weaknesses in U.S. voting machines.

They referenced Russian interference in the 2016 election (when @HillaryClinton lost to @realDonaldTrump)
They even included in the report that a SINGLE COUNTY in #Pennsylvania with a machine security weakness could have major implications for the rest of the county. ⬅️

In the #2020PresidentialElection two states, #Michigan and #GEORGIA have experienced odd voting machines issues...
But the Brennan Center isn't worried anymore.

An article on their home page, written by the orgs president, is calling the election "largely glitch free" - a win for democracy.

Voting machine cyber security issues and a foreign supply chain had been areas of concern since 2005.

But in the face of a Donald Trump loss, those concerns are out the window for some.

Dominion Voting Systems is under scrutiny after the #Michigan GOP discovered the software flipped 6,000 votes cast for Republican in favor of their Democrats competitors.

In #Georgia, DVS machines went down due to what the county clerk called an “vendor update” the night before
Now, lawyer @SidneyPowell1 is calling the vote-switching that occurred in Michigan a “feature” of Dominion’s software. This statement is supported by US voting machine manufacturers’ history of lax cyber security improvement & lack of supply chain integrity.

The lawsuit is in the link below:

The plantiffs allege:

1. "Ballots were counted even though the voter’s name did not appear in the official voter rolls."

2. Election workers were ordered to not verify signatures on absentee ballots, to backdate absentee ballots, & to process ballots regardless of validity. ImageImage
3. Election workers processed ballots that appeared after the election deadline and falsely reported that those ballots had been received prior to November 3, 2020 deadline. Image

It is now confirmed the shooter held tribalistic leftist beliefs.

We now find that he had NO record of a security license in the city of #Denver.

There are photos showing Antifa was present at the rally to counter protest.

Meanwhile, 🦗 from @GovofCO, @MayorHancock ImageImageImage
For the record, Mayor Hancock has put out his best wishes to the victim's family and this is an ongoing investigation.

That said, it doesn't take journalists to see that the shooter held leftist beliefs.

Mayor Hancock has made it clear extremists aren't welcome in Denver -
that said, extremists like the @pslweb have been openly supported by elected officials in the Denver area for months now.

Some elected officials have actually attended protests thrown by these groups.

Hancock and the Governor haven't addressed the fact that city council /

Islamic extremist attacks by Pakistani #jihadists in Kashmir, India:

A collaboration w/ terror expert @TheSkandar.

“I decided to raise my voice and become a voice for the voiceless. I represent that silent majority of #Kashmir who can’t raise the voice for fear... Image
Of getting killed at the hands of Jihadi terrorists.” -Al Skandar

THE FACTS:

Since the independence of India and the split between the Republic of India and the Islamic State of Pakistan, the region of Jammu and Kashmir has been in turmoil. Image
Located right on the border of India and Pakistan, this region legally belongs to #India - #Pakistan, however, has violently disputed this since the two countries separated in 1947 upon independence from Britain.
