1/ Want to hear something crazy?

You already know that rabid anti-Trumper John Lilly sits on the board of VotingWorks, which was founded by another rabid anti-Trumper Ben Adida.

And that they were still allowed to audit the Georgia recount.
2/ But maybe you didn't know that Lilly is a partner at Greylock, a VC firm that gave over $5 million to Democrats for the 2020 election.

And that fellow Greylock partner Reid Hoffman is, as we speak, raising money for Ossoff and Warnock's runoff.
3/ And maybe you didn't know that John Lilly decided to really focus on politics last year.

So he reduced his duties at Greylock to "dedicate himself more to activism."

And joined VotingWorks, which is now auditing elections in Georgia.

As I said, it's nuts.
4/ Maybe someone can let Georgia's Raffensperger know - once he wakes up - that he hired Democrat activists to audit cheating by Democrat activists.
5/ Here’s VotingWorks founder Ben Adida showing how much he can be trusted to audit an election.

1/ The US election is broken. Activists, politicians and even judges burned it to the ground so they can rule from the ashes.

Same goes for the "non-partisan" election auditors they wheel out to approve their actions.

Let's pull the curtain back on these so-called auditors.
2/ The recent audit in Georgia turned to VotingWorks.

Founders Matt Pasternack and Ben Adida both donate to Democrats. 

And board member John Lilly is a real gem. From Twitter:

"Trump is sure to go down as most reviled and incompetent president of the last 150 years."
3/ Moving on.

Another prominent election auditor is the Brennan Center (they're at work in Pennsylvania). 

They're linked to the Soros-funded Democracy Alliance and their co-chair is the heiress Patricia Bauman. 

Yep, she's another heavy donor to Democrats.

What if I told you that the people behind the Russian conspiracy theory are the same people behind the chaos on Election Day?

Because it's true.
2/ In 2016, lawyer Marc Elias and his firm Perkins Coie were working for Hilary Clinton when they paid for the Russian dossier  -  which then led to FBI spying and years of media hysteria.

Now guess who's behind the 22 lawsuits that have pushed states to expand mail-in voting?
3/ Yes, Marc Elias and Perkins Coie.

Let's look at Pennsylvania to see how it works. 

Back in May, Elias represented the Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans (PARA) in one of those lawsuits. 

But this single line from PARA's website reveals who he's really representing:

1/ "He is rude and an obnoxious bully who does not respect anyone who disagrees with him. That’s why I’ve announced my support for Joe Biden."

This is Janine Geske, 1 of 3 Wisconsin judges picked by Gov. Tony Evers to help redraw the state's congressional districts.
2/ But don't worry, Gov. Evers says he chose both Dem and GOP judges. Ok, let's look at the other 2.

Paul Higginbotham. Hmm, heavy donor to Biden this year. so he's not the GOP judge either.
3/ Okay, must be the third judge Joseph Troy. Ouch, he donated to a PAC that supported Bernie Sanders and Keith Ellison.

Smartmatic says they have never provided Dominion with tech.

But Dominion was trying to certify HAAT in 2011. HAAT was designed by Smartmatic.

I have the document.
1/3 Here’s Dominion getting HAAT tested in 2011.

1/ Trump is turning up the heat on #Smartmatic, suggesting software they used during the election of Hugo Chavez is now linked to #DominionVotingSystems.

I've already highlighted some of these ties.

But now I want to present information that is more favorable to Smartmatic.
2/ In 2004, Smartmatic won a $128 million contract to manage a referendum on the recall of Chavez. Polls showed Chavez facing defeat and the opposition was confident of victory.

Smartmatic provided the ballot machines and ensured the votes were ready on the night of Aug 15.
3/ Two weeks after the referendum, on Aug 27, the US embassy sent a report back to Washington, describing what happened that night.

The following tweets are taken almost verbatim from that report, and they shed some new light on Smartmatica and their current CEO Antonio Mugica.

1/ Trump's legal team is suggesting software from Smartmatic undermined the US election.

One question is how did they go from being a small and virtually unknown company in Venezuela to winning a $128 million election contract with Hugo Chavez's govt in 2004.

Leet's find out.
2/ One clue comes from the publication el Politico.

In 2017 they linked Smartmatic co-founder Alfredo José Anzola to the head of the country's election council, Jorge Rodriguez, who later became VP in Chavez's government.

It's also rumored Anzola was dating Rodriguez's sister.
3/ I think he was. A diplomatic cable sent from the US embassy in Caracas in 2004, mentions a fire in the sister's parking garage on August 6. 

And it says the authorities found a Smartmatic voting machine in a car parked next to the car that was burned.
