Fuggin' wimp.
Here you go. I warned ya.
>> " Articles that I have read, I haven't verified them," Duffy told host Wolf Blitzer on Oct. 27, 2016. "But we heard that one of George Soros' companies has provided some of the machines for some of these states. And, obviously, Mr. Soros leans left. I haven't personally verified that yet."
Duffy’s comment is notable because
the claim had been debunked a week before he appeared on CNN by
Snopes, and again three days before by the
Washington Post.
The claim about billionaire Soros emerged on several conservative websites. One
Daily Caller report said, "Smartmatic, a U.K.-based voting technology company with deep ties to George Soros, has provided voting technology in 16 states including battleground zones like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia."
The article noted that Smartmatic stated on its website that it
"will not be deploying its technology in any U.S. county for the upcoming 2016 U.S. presidential elections."
That nuance was lost on many people. More than 125,000 signed a
petition posted Oct. 21, 2016, on the White House website that said, "We the people ask Congress to meet in emergency session about removing George Soros-owned voting machines from 16 states."
To be clear, abundant evidence shows that
Soros owns no voting machines in the United States.
To go further, the link between Soros and Smartmatic is gossamer thin.
Company CEO Antonio Mugica and chairman Lord Mark Malloch-Brown said in a statement,
"George Soros has zero ownership or involvement in our company. Smartmatic has no ties to political parties or groups in any country and it abides by a strict code of ethics that forbids the company from donating to any political campaigns of any kind."
The one connection between Soros and Malloch-Brown is that Malloch-Brown sits on the global board of Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Malloch-Brown is a former minister of State in the British cabinet and, as the Smartmatic website stated, he is a member of "a number of non-profit boards addressing global issues from poverty reduction to conflict resolution."
On top of all this,
no state is using Smartmatic machines in this election. << ---
