The Vice: A baseless conspiracy theory that a voting firm is involved in a global plot to rig elections has led to stalking, harassment, and death threats against its employees, the company at the center of the conspiracy said Thursday.
The conspiracy, included in a lawsuit filed by former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell on Wednesday, and boosted by QAnon and President Donald Trump himself, claims that Dominion Voting Systems is part of an attempt to fix the US election result, and that state officials, Iran, China, and even the late president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, are somehow also involved.
On Wednesday, Powell regurgitated the very baseless allegations in an error-strewn 104-page document that saw the word “district” spelled incorrectly twice — in two different ways — in the first eight words.
On Thursday, Dominion, which was founded in Toronto and is now based in the U.S., hit back, outlining the real danger Powell’s lawsuit is doing.
Powell alleges some grand scheme where Dominion machines in Georgia were manipulated to elevate the votes for President-elect Joe Biden — who won the state by over 12,000 votes.
“This is not possible — not on a machine-by-machine basis, not by alleged hacking, not by manipulating software, and not by imagined ways of ‘sending’ votes to overseas locations,” Dominion said, adding that “even if it were possible, it would have been discovered in the statewide hand count of votes.” read more…

So why don’t they sue?
They have sued, Lizzie. Problem is, all of their lawsuits have been laughed out of court as they have no evidence to back them up. So, does this mean that all these judges, many appointed by Trump, are in on the conspiracy?
You have to remember, fully one quarter of Americans think the Sun goes around the Earth. If you don’t believe me, Google it. Does that mean that there’s some grand conspiracy out there that has kept Americans in the dark about how the solar system really works and that scientists are lying to us about it? Of course not. The Sun doesn’t go around the Earth no matter what these idiots think.
We’re talking about faith-based belief systems, Jim. These are the same folks who think the Earth was created 6000 years ago because it say so in the Scofield Reference Bible. And, the same folks who see Trump as their ticket to the Rapture. Believe me, you will never ever talk them out of it.
Damn! I just Googled and you are right. I would have lost that bet, as I would have estimated 10%. It just goes to show how much money is wasted on education on some people. With the parents this dumb the kids are in great danger.
The reason so many Republicans are upset right now has absolutely nothing to do with voting machines. Mail-in voting changed the political landscape in 2020, enabling millions of voters in our major cities to cast votes that had been deliberately suppressed in past years. Recent recounts in cities like Milwaukee and Phoenix prove this to be the case. There was no evidence of tampering with voting machines in either case. That’s why all these lawsuits don’t stand a chance in court. As Lindsey Graham recently said, “We have to do something about mail-in voting or Republicans will never win another election in the USA.”
I remember the old mechanical machines, no paper back up.
Pretty sure those were easier to cheat with.
Are you for real. Software manipulation dead easy, can be applied globally across a county, state and nationally, can be ‘back-doored’ and this is invisible unless you take a look forensically at the code.
Diebold voting machines owned by billionaire republicans have been flipping votes for years in favor of republicans or waromonger democrat allies.
Look at exit polls in 2016 which always will define vote rigging…
VT did big story on this about two weeks ago.
Pre-election polls “labeled” way off and crazy post mortem in 2016 and 2020 too, but in fact they were correct (+ – 5%) ….
in that Biden projected to win by landslide and so was Killary too, the Republicans confident they could do it again like in 2016 but the massive mail in ballots screwed up the plans of Republicans who thought they had the vote fix in again…makes me laugh.
But in the interim between 2016 we had the change over to paper ballots as a back up. The ‘machines’ do the counting once the ballots are scanned in. But in the photos of the ballot trays they keep them in pre-counted batches, like 500 or 1000 per tray, and I think by precinct, for recount purposes to insure the hand count matches the machine count. Years ago when I used the touch screen voting system in Atlanta I had a queasy feeling about it.
You hate Trump but the desperate measures to get rid of him might backfire. I’m no fan of Trump or Biden. The electoral system is stuffed.
