Some Dominion Machines Can Connect to Internet, CEO Acknowledges
Some voting machines produced by Dominion Voting Systems can connect to the internet, the company’s CEO said on Dec. 15.
“For the few jurisdictions, less than 1 percent of our customer base, an external cellular modem is required,” CEO John Poulos told legislators during a state Senate committee hearing in Michigan.
An external modem sits outside a device and allows internet access.
A Dominion contractor and a poll challenger told The Epoch Times last month that voting machines at the TCF Center in Detroit, used in the Nov. 3 election, were connected to the internet.
In a step-by-step video of the state’s ballot adjudication process, Coffee County elections director Misty Martin showed that votes for President Donald Trump could be converted into votes for his Democratic rival Joe Biden or vice versa using the Dominion Voting System, the software used to tabulate votes in Georgia and many other states. Blank ballots could also be counted with the name of any candidate.
“So there’s my blank ballot that I want to adjudicate, and I’m going to vote for Doug Collins … and I just counted that vote,” said Martin, showing how one can fill a ballot after scanning a blank one into the scanner.
Sidney Powell: Every Voting Machine Needs to Be Seized, Forensically Analyzed
Every single voting machine used in this year’s election should be impounded and reviewed for forensic analysis, according to attorney Sidney Powell, who believes there’s more than enough criminal probable cause to justify such a move.
Powell, who has filed a number of election-related lawsuits in multiple states, said President Donald Trump could use his 2018 executive order on foreign interference that would give him certain authority.
“That gives him all kinds of power to do everything from seizing assets, to freeze things, demand the impoundment of the machines,” she told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program. “Under the emergency powers, he could even appoint a special prosecutor to look into this, which is exactly what needs to happen.”
The Right Stuff: Voting needs to be secure, verifiable
Voting is arguably our most precious right. Voting gives
we the people the ultimate check and balance in our republic. It allows us to hold accountable those in power. Thus, reaffirming the citizens’ authority over governance.
From the first recorded democratic elections in ancient Greece, people have interfered in elections to suit their interests. This is arguably human nature. “In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” That’s Thomas Jefferson.
Citizenship has obligations and privileges. Citizenship was highly prized and jealously guarded because with citizenship comes the vote; voting is real power. Have we forgotten this?
