Information isnt Advocacy
Let's start with the simple fact that Dominion does not have a voting machine. Dominion has a Ballot Marking tablet. You make your choices on a screen and print out your ballot. A paper ballot is then cast. Votes are not recorded anywhere on the device.As much as I think the election was riddled with more fraud than a guy selling me solid gold bridges in Brooklyn, I don't think Dominion was solely or even in the majority responsible for that fraud. Nobody has ever been able to bring up enough evidence of it to satisfy me.Dominion is no doubt having second thoughts. Lindell is not.
In that first suit on February 22, 2021, when Dominion sued Lindell for allegedly damaging their reputation wrongly, or ādefamation,ā it came along with similar lawsuits against Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and Sean Hannity, and according to Lindellās countersuit, over 150 private individuals and organizations.Lindell v. Dominion for the Layman
Lindell v. Dominion et al. was filed on June 3, 2021, when Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow and founder of FrankSpeech, entered a āComplaintā document summarizing Lindellās legal position against US Dominion Inc along with 17 āExhibits,ā which provide supporting evidence for his clauncoverdc.com
These suits open the company up to ādiscoveryā by Lindellās side, which means that the court can make Dominion provide private emails, financial records, or other internal documents that Lindell needs to make his case that he has said isnāt false. But the history of Dominionās company and information about the vulnerability of its machines that are shown in Lindellās countersuit makes it look like scrutiny and transparency are not likely to help Dominionās public image nor help the company win taxpayer-funded contracts in the future.
The machines were part of the problem, and we absolutely should stop voting by closed- source machines (open-source code, lots of inspections, etc. might MIGHT get me to endorse vote by machine). I just see no good evidence that Dominion machines ran software to change the election en masse.
I do expect the Dominion machine to be as secure as a graph paper bucket, but that's it.
Open source is bullshit.
