Here's the fraction magic video on YT:
Fraction Magic - Detailed Vote Rigging Demonstration
Bev Harris
2016
A real-time demo of the most devastating election theft mechanism yet found, with context and explanation. (See also: Jordan Robertson of Bloomberg Business analyzes Fraction Magic in its Cyber Security Segment: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...
and Cover Story in Bloomberg Businessweek https://www.bloomberg.com/features/20... )
This demonstration uses a real voting system and real vote databases and takes place in seconds across multiple jurisdictions. Over 5000 subcontractors and middlemen have the access to perform this for any or all clients. It can give contract signing authority to whoever the user chooses. All political power can be converted to the hands of a few anonymous subcontractors.
It's a product. It's scaleable. It learns its environment and can adjust to any political environment, any demographic. It runs silently, invisibly, and can produce plausible results that really pass for the real thing.

Fraction Magic – Part 1: Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers
By Bev Harris, May 12, 2016
This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States. The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds.
gems-usaGEMS vote-counting systems are and have been operated under five trade names:
- Global Election Systems
- Diebold Election Systems
- Premier Election Systems
- Dominion Voting Systems
- Election Systems & Software
(in addition to a number of private regional subcontractors)
At the time of this writing, this system is used in [many states]. It is also used in Canada. SEE CAP

Fraction Magic – Part 1
con't.
Fractionalized vote:
Instead of “1” the vote is allowed to be 1/2, or 1+7/8, or any other value that is not a whole number.
What fractionalized votes can do:
They allow “weighting” of races.....
GEMS fractionalizes votes in three places:
- The “Summary” vote tally, which provides overall election totals for each race on Election Night
- The “Statement of Votes Cast”, which provides detailed results by precinct and voting method (ie. Polling, absentee, early, provisional)
- The “undervote” count
Fractionalizing the votes which create the Summary Results allows alteration of Election Night Web results and results sent to the Secretary of State, as well as results available at and local election officials.
Fractionalizing the “Statement of Votes Cast” allows an extraordinary amount of precision, enabling alteration of results by specific voting machine, absentee batch, or precinct. Vote results can be altered for polling places in predominantly Black neighborhoods, and can parse out precincts within a mixed batch of early or absentee votes.
Fractionalizing the undervote category allows reallocation of valid votes into undervotes.
Fractions in results reports are not visible.Votes containing decimals are reported as whole numbers unless specifically instructed to reveal decimals (which is not the default setting)....
Source code: Instructions to treat votes as decimal values instead of whole numbers are inserted multiple times in the GEMS source code itself; thus, this feature cannot have been created by accident.

Key info on development of GEMS is in the section below, #17 - 34; key points are listed below.
Diebold Election Systems/Premier (previously called “Global Election Systems”)
19. Diebold entered the voting machine business with its 2002 acquisition of Global Election Systems, a company whose Senior VP (programmer jeffrey dean) was a CONVICTED FELON who had served time for sophisticated crimes involving "COMPUTER TAMPERING".
20. Global brought on dean shortly before the 2000 election. A few months later, it hired a convicted drug trafficker - who dean met in prison - to oversee punch card printing.
24. Diebold told the AP that dean left the company in 2002.
25. But [Beverly] Harris obtained dean's court file, which included internal Diebold memos showing that dean remained as a Diebold consultant.
26. According to Wired, dean "wrote & maintained...code used to count hundreds of thousands of votes."
27. dean also programmed the GEMS central tabulator system, which counted one third of the votes in 37 states in 2004…….
30. Because elected officials and news organizations never followed up on dean's whereabouts, we can only speculate as to when (if at all) dean's relationship with the company ended.
SO: the person responsible for GEMS was
Jeffrey Dean-
a CONVICTED FELON whose ongoing role remains a mystery.
There is ONE clue that he remained with Diebold a long time:
31. In 2010, Dominion bought Diebold’s intellectual property rights and warehoused equipment.
But ES&S kept some — perhaps even most — of Diebold’s servicing and maintenance contracts, which is where control of elections would mostly come from.
Note the name of the Dominion spokesperson in this article.
[SEAN DEAN- see article]
I do not know if there is a relationship. http://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/05/07/10/source-code-firm-dominion-sheds-light-voting-glitch

Source code firm Dominion sheds light on voting glitch
By Ina Reformina, ABS-CBN News
May 07 2010 07:32 PM
MANILA, Philippines - A Canada-based software firm who leased the source code for the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines for the May 10 Philippine polls has shed light on the glitch that caused the machines to incorrectly read the ballots.
Sean Dean, product manager of Dominion Voting Systems, said the company only found out about the voting machine glitch during the final testing and sealing of PCOS machines in several municipalities last Monday.
In response to doubts on the integrity of the program and automation system, Dominion said it is staking its name that nobody interfered or had any access in the generation of the program files and configuration process.
"At no point was there any outside party involved in the configuration of the ballots and the election files. It was all done by ourselves and supervised only from a viewing perspective by the Comelec but other than that they didn't have access to the station. They didn't touch it. It was all strictly done by us," he said. ....

Whoever SEAN DEAN is, he has a number of PATENTS together with ERIC COOMER and others.
All seem similar, here's an example:
BALLOT ADJUDICATION IN VOTING SYSTEMS UTILIZING BALLOT IMAGES Publication number: 20150071501
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for adjudicating votes made on voter-marked paper ballots. Voter-marked paper ballots may be scanned to obtain optical image data of the voter-marked paper ballots. The optical image may be analyzed to determine the votes contained in the ballot for tabulation purposes. One or more votes on the ballot may be identified as requiring adjudication by an election official. Adjudication information, according to various embodiments, is appended to the optical images of the voter-marked paper ballots such that the image of the ballot and the image of the adjudication information may be viewed in an optical image. The optical image may be stored in a file format that allows the ballot image and the appended adjudication information to be viewed using readily available image viewers.

Felons Jeffrey Dean, John Elder & King Co Elections
Election Pros Are Cons
Seattle Weekly, 2004
by George Howland Jr.
Two felons have been involved in printing and processing ballots for King County—one of them a convicted embezzler. A voter activist calls this a security breach.
Watchdog Bev Harris fueled a national debate over election integrity.
BEV HARRIS HAS tangled with election bigwigs around the country. Her exposés of shady practices, conflicts of interest, and poor security in both the private and public sectors have helped ignite a national debate over the integrity of the U.S. electoral system. Now the 52-year-old Renton resident is claiming that there are local examples of lax security, too—at the King County Department of Records, Elections, and Licensing Services. She says the elections office has John Elder, a convicted drug dealer, printing ballots and Jeff Dean, a 23-count embezzler, programming software. ...
Elder says he cannot comment due to the policy of his employer, Diebold Election Systems—itself the target, nationwide, for activist scrutiny of its election computer systems. Through a spokesperson, Diebold says it is aware of Elder’s background and sees no problem.
Dean Logan, the King County Director of Records and Elections, confirms that Elder is in a supervisory position with Diebold, which prints and sorts the county’s absentee ballots, but he says Elder’s criminal history is not an issue.
Logan also points out that Dean has not worked as a subcontractor for the county since April 2002, and “I’ve not seen anything to demonstrate that the systems in the past were compromised.” Says Logan: “My greater confidence comes in knowing that the systems we are using today are fully secure.” .....
Before his release [from prison], Dean told prison officials he had secured employment with Postal Services of Washington, in Seattle, which today is known as PSI. For years, the company has sorted and aggregated mail for clients, including ballots for King County Records and Elections.
Dean next shows up in the public record later in 1995, as the general manager for Spectrum Print and Mail Services in Mountlake Terrace, which was founded by his wife three years earlier. In 1998, Spectrum won the contract to print ballots for King County’s new optical-scan voting system, which is in use today. By 1999, Dean was also the point man for implementation of a new software system to manage voter registration in King County. ....
[Bev Harris] says Dean had “24-hour access to the building and the computer room and had direct access to both the personal information in the King County registration database and to the GEMS vote-tabulation program itself.” Harris cites a confidential source for this information.
Logan confirms that Dean had a key to the office door of Records and Elections, inside the King County Administration Building downtown.The GEMS vote tabulation software, which counts ballots in King County, is stored in a room inside the Records and Elections office.....

SUMMARY of Jeffrey Dean DIG
* developer of GES software that became GEMS
* Global Election Systems (GES) software developed by a guy named Jeffrey Dean around maybe 1999.
* He developed voting software for GES out of accounting software. But probably has many backdoors - because he was also a convicted embezzler/hacker who was hired after a four-year prison sentence.
* By 2001, had become Senior VP of GES and had 1.6m shares of stock (more than anyone else) - right before the company was sold to Diebold.
* Stuck around as a consultant, but always a shadowy figure.
* Supposedly, he later parted ways with Diebold and/or Dominion. No one is sure what became of him.
* But there is a guy named Sean Dean who worked for Dominion in 2010. Same guy?? Nobody knows.

King Co elections run by felons....
a decade plus later.....
King Co selects ClearVote/ClearBallot as New Voting System
The new voting system will process ballots five times faster than any other voting system
6-09-2017
BOSTON, MA, July 10, 2017 – Clear Ballot announced today that King County, Washington, which includes the City of Seattle, selected ClearVote™ as its new voting system. King County is the largest jurisdiction in Washington and the 13th largest election jurisdiction in the United States with more than 1.2 million registered voters. The county also is the largest vote-by-mail election jurisdiction.
Since 2012, Clear Ballot has provided the election industry with a modern voting platform that delivers unprecedented security, speed, and transparency. The voting platform includes ClearAudit™, the nation’s first independent, automated audit and ClearVote, a complete, modern voting system. The rapid adoption of both products has made Clear Ballot the fastest-growing election technology provider in the nation. Forty-two percent of registered voters in Washington State will use ClearVote in its August elections. Since becoming certified in Oregon two years ago, 65 percent of registered voters in the state have had their ballots counted on the ClearVote voting system.
....
King County will be the first jurisdiction to use high-performance intelligent scanners from ibml with ClearVote software to process vote-by-mail ballots. The technologies will process ballots five times faster than any other voting system.
“We are excited to update our voting system with the latest technology from Clear Ballot,” said Julie Wise, Director of King County Elections. “ClearVote meets the needs of our growing county and will enable us to process elections with greater efficiency. We’re ready for the future.”
King County’s decision to use the ClearVote system and ibml’s scanners offers a compelling vision for the increasing number of states and counties considering vote-by-mail. King County will set a new bar for election innovation for jurisdictions that want to increase their transparency and efficiency while reducing cost.
Clear Ballot CEO Larry Moore stated, “We are honored to partner with King County to create the highest performing, most transparent voting system in the country. With a sustained ballot scanning capacity of more than 50,000 ballots per hour, the ability to resolve the closest of elections within minutes, and the opportunity to significantly reduce costs through streamlined procedures, King County’s new voting system will be a showcase for every election jurisdiction in the United States.”

KING CO WASHINGTON
* Home to felons responsible for fractionalized voting - which has never been fully exposed or investigated
* No investigation was ever done in the early 2000s to determine if there was election fraud, although it looks extremely suspicious
* Now the same system is EXCLUSIVELY vote-by-mail with ballot boxes in front of libraries and it other public places.
* Given its checkered history and the pivotal role played by two felons 20 years ago, what is going on with elections in present-day King Co?
What are the chances that ClearVote / ClearBallot is really on the up-and-up?

looks like 2020 Gov candidate Loren Culp wasn't too confident about elections throughout the state...but gave up fighting it (for now) when the state pushed back hard.
Loren Culp drops lawsuit alleging election fraud in Washington state
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Loren Culp, the Republican gubernatorial candidate who lost to Gov. Jay Inslee in the 2020 election, has withdrawn a lawsuit against the state alleging widespread election fraud.
The move to drop the suit comes after the state Attorney General's Office threatened legal sanctions against Stephen Pidgeon, Culp's lawyer, for "legally baseless" claims "filed with the improper purpose of undermining confidence in a free and fair election."
[SO THEY THREATENED HIM]
Culp and his lawyer responded in a lengthy live video posted on Culp's Facebook page. He said the AG's office would likely drag this out for years, costing "millions of dollars."
"I don't have that money. I don't feel that it would be right to ask you for that money just to be thrown out by a judge," Culp said.
Official numbers show Inslee, now in his third term as governor, won the election with 56.7% of the total vote, while Culp received 43.3%.
On a Facebook live video with supporters Friday, Culp said that continuing the lawsuit would have cost millions, only to risk it being thrown out and being forced to repay the state’s legal fees.

The GEMS software has been BARELY MENTIONED in discussions of 2020 election fraud so far.
But it did come up recently in a discussion about what happened in the Windham NH forensic audit, which appears to have been hijacked in order to bury allegations of election fraud there.

GEMS "fraction-magic" software was used in New Hampshire election
despite claims to the contrary by shifty operators Harri Hursti & Philip Stark
1. In 2010, Dominion Voting Systems acquired Sequoia and GEMS software. SEE CAP
GEMS was developed from accounting software that could fractionalize votes by felon Jeffrey Dean (originally called GES).
https://web.archive.org/web/20180203174239/https://medium.com/@jennycohn1/updated-attachment-states-have-bought-voting-machines-from-vendors-controlled-and-funded-by-nation-6597e4dd3e70
2. GEMS has been used on many different voting machines since 2010.
Bev Harris in Fraction Magic video:
As of 2016, GEMS was installed in 25 states (616 jurisdictions) in a variety of different hardware systems - e.g., Dominion, Hart, ES&S.
"Voting systems that count votes as fractions migrated into other systems...[they] may count as many as 99% of votes in 2016."
Fraction Magic - Detailed Vote Rigging Demonstration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fob-AGgZn44
SEE minute 2:34.
3. GEMS came up in a discussion of Lindell's new lawsuit on The Professor's Record. Discussion also focused on the recent (probably compromised) Windham audit, especially claims made by black hat hacker Harri Hursti.
Participants: David Clements, CannCon, Nick Moseder, Gail Golec, Marylyn Todd, Ken Buculea.
https://t.me/theprofessorsrecord/825
https://rumble.com/vi1jvj-exposing-harri-hurstis-lies-q-and-a-session-with-white-hat-hacker.html
4. The focus was on the claims of (black hat hacker) Harri Hursti that the machines in NH are so old that they could not have connected to the net. According to the expert white hat hackers in the discussion, this is not true - those old machines in NH could definitely have connected to the internet.
5. Towards the end of the discussion, GEMS comes up in a discussion about whether there was any internet accessibility. ~ 1hr, 5mins
"Was there potential wifi access?"
Stark and Hursti EXTREMELY triggered by this.
Claimed that the machines have "no hardware". SEE CAP and MP4 CLIP 1.
6. Why did Hursti dig in? [because election audit was a fraud]
Did the manual have any discussion about net accessibility? Did the machines have modems? They did have ports that could be used to connect to "something else". But the GEMS manual talks about Windows and these machines connecting to the net. ~1:17
7. "Harri will blow a gasket because he says they don't use GEMS in NH." ~1:18. But apparently they DO use GEMS, it's documented. "GEMS is the program they take to use that data and program the memory cards. It's where we believe the malware...may exist" - Gail. SEE MP4 CLIP 2.
8. Given the fact that GEMS has not come up in public discussions since the 2020 election so far, it makes sense that anyone involved in election fraud would want to HIDE this connection.

Other highlights of the GEMS-in-New-Hampshire video:
* good breakdown/review on Dennis Montgomery's "Hammer and Scorecard" at ~9 mins. also mentions Amazon's ability to control elections.
* we know these systems are all connected to the internet ~12 mins
* remote access was embedded as a backdoor into Hammer and Scorecard - when copied by others, was included. ~26 mins
* CTCL - change local laws to allow for election fraud ~32 mins
* programmers all lived in BELGRADE, Serbia
* New Hampshire discussion begins ~38 mins
* How VerifiedVoting (Mark Lindeman) was involved in audit, despite pushback from citizens who wanted Jovan Pulitzer
* Harri Hursti & Philip Stark picked as auditors picked by Secy of State - in all these [contested] states, SOS's are corrupt. HH is an "evil genius." ~42 mins
* Discussion of the supposed need for backdating NH Windham machines in NH ~49
* Hursti in 2016: hacks can be either persistent or "one time". ~53 mins
* Memory card reset/copying discussion vs "clear counters"- master memory card need not be wiped out ~59
* Hursti said he did it the way he did because it was the only way to do it [overwriting the master?] ~1:04 - not true acc to Josh Merritt.
* Is it true that there was "no way" these machines could be connected to the net? ~1:08
* NO - Dennis helped developed X86 chipset. "that guy is full of shit."

DESPITE THE GEMS DISCREPANCIES IN NH, the problematic role played by GEMS is still not obvious to the public.
Until it gets more exposure, will remain a hidden but POWERFUL factor in election fraud in the US and elsewhere.

Who owns Dominion?
Who pulls the strings?
Who's ultimately behind election fraud ALL OVER THE WORLD???
According to initial reports in Nov 2020, Dominion is a "privately-held" concern headquartered in Toronto, CA.
Their US office is in Denver, CO.
[This may no longer be the case, but was true through the 2020 Presidential elections.]
After Dominion was charged with election fraud by Sidney Powell and numerous others, they apparently changed many of their business operations.
So it's important to look at DATES when speaking of ownership, control, current address, etc.

Excerpts:

Warren, Klobuchar, Wyden, and Pocan Investigate Vulnerabilities and Shortcomings of Election Technology Industry with Ties to Private Equity
Three private equity-owned election technology vendors serve 90% of eligible voters but fail to sufficiently innovate, improve, and protect deteriorating voting systems; Election security experts have noted for years that our nation's voting systems and election infrastructure are under serious threat
Washington, DC - United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ranking Member of the Senate Rules Committee, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Representative Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), sent letters to three private equity firms McCarthy Group, staple street Capital Group, and H.I.G. Capital that reportedly own or have investments in election technology vendors responsible for developing, manufacturing, and maintaining the vast majority of voting machines and software in the United States.
In their letters, the lawmakers raise concerns about vulnerabilities and a lack of transparency in the election technology industry and the poor condition of voting machines and other election technology equipment. They request information about the role private equity investment in these companies have played in creating and perpetuating these conditions.
Election security experts have noted for years that our nation's election systems and infrastructure are under serious threat, but voting machines reportedly continue to fail and breakdown across the country, as vendors fail to innovate, improve, and protect voting systems, putting U.S. elections at avoidable and increased risk.
The three vendors Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart InterCivic collectively distribute voting machines and software that facilitate voting for over 90% of all eligible voters in the United States. Private equity firms reportedly own or control each of these vendors, which "have long skimped on security in favor of convenience," leaving voting systems across the country "prone to security problems."

DIG on Staple Street offering to UBS Securities LLC in Oct 2020:
a. There's UBS Securities LLC is described as the banking division of UBS AG, which is Switzerland's largest bank: "UBS Securities LLC operates as the investment banking division of UBS."
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/5766Z:US
Sylvia Brasil Coutinho: CEO
Two of their board members are Chinese:
Luo Qiang/Zhang Tsinghua U (Engr BS); Stanford (MS Engr)
https://hk.linkedin.com/in/luo-zhang-bb317b2a
Ye Xiang (Visiongain Capital LTD): Pepl Bank PhD, Zhejiang U., finanial services
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/person/16030387
b. Until 12-1-2018, UBS AG owned 25% of UBS Securities LLC; after that, it owned 51% (while Chinese gov Owns 49%).
https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/china-deal_ubs-secures-majority-stake-in-a-china-securities-joint-venture/44587188
c. An MBA friend pointed out that having a 51% share of a Chinese company actually gives China MORE leverage not less.
Swiss bank has more to lose.
d. The agreement for Staple Street to issue stock to UBS Securities LLC in the amt of $50mil is not a done deal - not yet.
Looks like it's still in the works. This was 8 mos ago, should be verifiable at this point (June 2021). Done deal or planned deal (which may or may not have gone thru).
- - - - - - - -
Looks like the intent was to do a deal with the Chinese company UBS Securities LLC whereby they would acquire $400mil in securities in Staple Street - which Owns Dominion

UBS secures majority stake in a China securities joint venture
Dec 1, 2018
https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/china-deal_ubs-secures-majority-stake-in-a-china-securities-joint-venture/44587188
Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS, has become the first foreign bank to hold a majority stake in a China securities joint venture, after gaining approval from country’s securities regulator.
This content was published on December 1, 2018 - 10:58 December 1, 2018 - 10:58
On Friday, the China Securities Regulatory Commission gave approval for UBS AG to hold the majority stake in its securities joint venture.
The Swiss bank, which currently owns 24.99% of the UBS Securities Co joint venture, had applied in May this year to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to raise its stake to 51%. UBS is acquiring from China Guodian Capital Holdings and COFCO their 12.01% and 14% stakes in UBS Securities, respectively.
This makes it the first foreign bank to secure such control under new rules announced by Beijing last year.
UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti said in a statementExternal link: “Growing our China business is key element of our strategy. The further opening up of China's financial sector represents great opportunities for our wealth management, investment bank and asset management businesses.” .....

From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBS_Securities,_China_branch
UBS Securities Co., Ltd is the investment bank and brokerage firmof the Swiss bank UBS [AG]with offices in many countries, among them China.
Its Chinese arm is a joint-venture according to the restrictions of foreign investments in China, especially in the financial sector. Since 2018, it is a subsidiary of the Swiss bank UBS.
People's Government [zh])[1] established the firm after the financial difficulties of Beijing Securities.[2] UBS and the International Finance Corporation bought a combined 24.99% share of the enterprise in 2007, under the laws governing Sino-foreign joint ventures. COFCO Group and State Development & Investment Corporation (SDIC) also acquired part ownership from China Jianyin Investment.
The firm began operations in May of 2007. It underwrote BYD Company, Pang Da Automobile Trade and other publicly traded companies in their IPO. In 2011, China Guodian acquired the SDIC's 14% stake and China Jianyin Investment sold its remaining 14.01% stake to its parent company, Central Huijin Investment, which was in turn acquired in 2013 by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government [zh]-owned Guangdong Provincial Communication Group [zh].
One year later, UBS increased its stake from 20% to 24.99% by acquiring International Finance Corporation's share.[3]
UBS Securities became a subsidiary of UBS in 2015.[4]
[NOT CORRECT - it was Dec 2018 - look at the cite below]]
The latter company increased its share to 51% by acquiring additional stake from China Guodian and COFCO Group.[5] Beijing Guoxiang Asset Management's stake in UBS Securities is now (as of 2019) owned by sister company Beijing State-owned Assets Management.[6]

Based on the past few posts, it appears that at the time of the 2020 election:
- Staple Street owned Dominion
- Staple Street MAY have made a deal in October with UBS Ltd (owned 49% by China and 51% by Swiss bank UBS AG) whereby it would acquire a substantial interest in Staple Street.
- IF TRUE, this means that both China and UBS AG have a substantial interest in Dominion Voting Systems - the company that dominates elections around the world
SO WHO CONTROLS UBS AG?
Hard to really know, but here's some info from Wikipedia.
UBS Group AG[nb 1] is a Swiss multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Co-headquartered in the cities of Zürich and Basel, it maintains a presence in all major financial centres as the largest Swiss banking institution and the largest private bank in the world. UBS client services are known for their strict bank–client confidentiality and culture of banking secrecy.[nb 2] Because of the bank's large positions in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific markets, the Financial Stability Board considers it a global systemically important bank.
UBS was founded in 1862 as the Bank in Winterthur alongside the advent of the Swiss banking industry. During the 1890s, the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC) was founded, forming a private banking syndicate that expanded, aided by Switzerland's international neutrality. In 1912, the Bank of Winterthur merged with Toggenburger Bank to form the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) and grew rapidly after the Banking Law of 1934 codified Swiss banking secrecy. Following decades of market competition between Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC), the two merged in 1998 to create a single company known solely as "UBS".[nb 3]
UBS does not stand for Union Bank of Switzerland. In fact, that was one of the more than 370 financial firms that have, since 1862, become part of today's UBS. After UBS managed heavy losses during the 2008 financial crisis with an asset relief recovery program, it was hit by the 2011 rogue trader scandal resulting in a US$2 billion trading loss. In 2012, the bank reoriented itself around wealth management advisory services and limited its sell side operations. ....
As of 2021, UBS is the 3rd largest bank in Europe with a market capitalization of $61 billion.[15] It is considered a systematically important bank by the Financial Stability Board. It has over CHF3.2 trillion in assets under management (AUM), approximately CHF 2.8 trillion of which are invested assets.[16]

[Forwarded from Marco Polo]

mpolo@criptext.com
On 09/26/2019, a paralegal from Chapman & Culler LLP, Soren Schwartz, facilitated and signed a Security Agreement between two foreign entities: Dominion Voting Systems Corporation & Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) Canada.
The agreement assigned 18 patents owned by Dominion to HSBC as collateral.
In effect, the intellectual property (IP) in the electronic voting machines (EVMs) in 28 states - used by 40% of U.S. - is now held by a CCP-connected bank whose former work includes money laundering for the Sinaloa cartel.
A registered Democrat, Soren has been an intern for Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ). Why would Staple Street Capital LLP, which owns Dominion, retain a recent NYU graduate and paralegal to facilitate an important IP transaction between two multinational companies?
Perhaps his undergraduate thesis, "Underrepresentation of Women in the United States House of Representatives," could explain his unlikely involvement. Marco Polo will find out.

>>65497 THE SERBIAN SOFTWARE AND THE ELECTION FRAUD IN USA
Nov 16, 2020
https://srbin.info/svet/the-serbian-software-and-the-election-fraud-in-usa/
EXCERPT on Smartmatic, Dominion and Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein & Clinton Foundation
In 2009 Dominion has concluded a contract with Smartmatic concerning the elections in the Philippines in 2010 and early elections in 2013. After these elections numerous lawsuits were launched due to allegations of omissions and fraud. Independent review of source codes that were used in Dominion’s machines discovered many problems and quality and security of its software were disputed. The Chairman of Smartmatic isMark Malloch Brown, member of the British House of Lords and former Vice-President of the World Bank. He was also United Nations Deputy Secretary-General in 2006 and UK Minister (2007–2009).
However, the most interesting thing about Malloch Brown is the fact that he is one of more important officials of Soros’s network. Cooperation between these two goes way back, even since the war in the former Yugoslav Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1993-1994). Malloch Brown was the Vice-President of the most important Soros’s organizations – the Quantum Fund and the Open Society Foundations and now he is a member of the Global Board. He is also one of the people most responsible for the creating of the infamous International Crisis Group and he is a member of its Executive Committee and Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees.
Thanks to Soros, Dominion’s voting machines are being used in the elections to the European Parliament since 2014. Dominion’s servers in which all of the data are stored are located in Frankfurt, wherein is also the head office of the European Central Bank. Dominion shares an office floor in Toronto with the Tides Foundation which is connected to George Soros (Dominion Voting Systems Shares Floor Space With Soros Group, Partnered With Soros’ Friendgroup-partnered-with-soros-friend).
Next to its associations with George Soros, Dominion Voting Systems has numerous connections to the Democratic Party in the USA. The company hired Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP, a lobbying firm. One of the directors of this lobbying firm is Nadeam Elshami, former chief of staff to Democratic Leader and Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. Elshami is officially registered as a lobbyist for Dominion.
Another well-known Democrat who is connected to this election software is Richard Blum, husband of influential United States Senator Dianne Feinstein who has been a US Senator since 1992. According to the allegations made by lawyer Sidney Powell, Blum is a majority shareholder in a company that produced voting software that were used in the elections. Mainstream media have tried to deny these allegations by claiming that the only company in which Blum has made any investments is Avid which deals with graphic and video software. However, this is not exactly true. Avid did produce software that were used in these elections, including the elections in the state of Michigan. Avid advertises its own election software called LeaderPlus Election Management system and Blum is one of its investors – Blum i Avid
It is worth mentioning that Blum has lucrative financial affairs with China as well as ties to Chinese Communist Party which goes a long way to explain some of his wife’s political agenda and her voting policy in the Senate. This influential political couple was also connected to human organ trafficking. The use of the video software in elections can be best observed in reports made by American mainstream media which use this video applications to follow the election process. Take a look at this video and notice how, during the process of entering new results, the number of votes that were cast for Trump is decreasing. Not the percentage, but the number of votes! This video is constantly being censored and removed from YouTube and social networks.
The Clinton Foundation is also connected to Dominion Voting Systems. In 2014 Dominion has made a donation to The Clinton Foundation to be used for the DELIAN Project.

HERE IS THE SAUCE FOR HART INTERCIVIC DIG
- This is a more formatted version of anon's excellent dig from >>>/qresearch/11652967
- More on HART from another anon: >>>/qresearch/11653232
https://pastebin.com/X9Bacyf6
HART InterCivic DIG
Semi-Quick Run Down (supporting evidence and images/screenshots will be dumped):
- Hart InterCivic is responsible for a large chunk of the voting machines in the USA (Dominion, ES&S & Hart make up ~90%) – but Hart is found in the most impacted counties (EG – OAKLAND, MI) (Sourced)
- They have had a troubled past (Romney/Rove, Failed Security Measures, Fucked Up Elections because of their tech ‘flipping votes’ [see all of the history posted here below this QRD]) (Sourced)
- The same gentleman in charge of tech since 2012 (Jim Canter) has seen countless investigations/lawsuits due to his machines ‘swapping votes’ in elections against the top-of-ticket candidate (Sourced)
- In July 2019, they had a major shakeup in ownership after Katelyn Love (AG – NC) asked for them to disclose their ownership model. This disclosed H.I.G Capital as a ~80% owner and Gregg L Burt as ~10.5% owner (Sourced)
Uh-oh – that’s a ‘trade secret’ – PANIC
- Shortly afterwards, a series of company shakeups moves CEO Philip Braithwaite up to the BOD, being replaced by Julie MATHIS, and hiring Sam Derheimer (Sourced)
- The company then mysteriously is dropped from H.I.G’s listing within its portfolio (Sourced)
- The company then scrubs its website presence and goes into anonymous mode (remember this) (Sourced)
- There is now no defined ownership of the company, and no display of leadership/board members or investors (Sourced)
- Pete Lichtenheld and Jim Canter developing a new machine for 2019 sales cycle which has cellular modems inside, allowing connection to internet (illegal) improving upon previous designs (Sourced)
- 4 “Hart” related companies show up on a patent (Hart Intermediate Holding Company, Inc is one of those patent holders) along with a Ukrainian based development team leader – Gregg L Burt remains on a few boards…… (Sourced)
- At the same time as the sales cycle, the company is then shifted into WOFE status by a foreign based ‘security’ business (Chelsea / Hart International - Hart international is one of the largest security contracting firms in the world. Owns Chelsea Group and Hart Intermediate) with their own ambitions and candidate preferences (BIDEN). This occurs via Gregg L Burt’s C PA (Hart +C PA) (Sourced)
- Sales cycle is now in full-swing for 2020 election
- Larry Norden is the leader of pushing ‘election security’ at Brennan Group (Sourced)
- Larry just so happens to be good buddies with Sam and a whole host of EAC officials (retired and current) (Sourced)
- Hart manages to land a ton of key contracts in these heavily contested areas of the 2020 election''' because of ‘special discounts’ and EAC support + brennan policy recommendations (sam derheimer + Larry pushing this on ‘friends’ and politicians) (Sourced)
- A ton of counties were unable to certify the new machine specs as designed before the election''', per records (illegal AF) (Sourced)
- Elections happen; Look up results from Hart-districts
- Dr. Shiva releases the algo video (lightbulb which spurred all of this research) (Sourced)
- H.I.G is a Clinton foundation donor in 2020 (shhiiiiiiiiiit)
YOU ARE HERE
The pieces and data/intel is there to connect how these machines operate, who wanted to fix the election, how they did it and why.
PAGE 1 of 3
---------
Remaining questions:
1. Which counties recently required changes to their Verity Voting Software prior to the 2020 election? Like Alleghany County: https://www.dos.pa.gov/VotingElections/Documents/Voting%20Systems/Hart%20Intercivic%20Verity%20voting%202.3.3/Hart%20Verity%20Voting%202.3.3%20%20Secretarys%20certification%20report%20final%20with%20signature%20for%20web.pdf)
2. Why and how did Hart Group use Gregg L Burt’s C AG2 firm and Phillip W. Braithwaite use Gilbert PC Law to develop shell companies/transfers of ownership to Hart Group and then R.W. Chelsea Holdings Ltd?
3. How many counties are currently running non-approved or non-tested Verity software with their Hart Voting Machines?
4. Why the fuck are foreign companies influencing our elections so hard?
Key Players:
* Julie Mathis – CEO as of 2019
* Phillip Braithwaite – Previous CEO; now CHAIRMAN of the BOD
* Jim Canter – CTO as of 2012
* Pete Lichtenheld – SVP of CUSTOMER success (knows systems inside & out) as of 2001
* Lawrence Norden – Brennan Center exec pushing for the adoption of the tech
* Gregg L. Burt – former CEO & BOD president. May be the leader of the shell companies
[moved sauce to end]
Now you faggots can pay me back for last night with some help digging into those docs and into the questions here:
1. Which counties recently required changes to their Verity Voting Software prior to the 2020 election?
2. How many counties are currently running non-approved or non-tested Verity software with their Hart Voting Machines?
3. Why and how did Hart Group use Gregg L Burt’s C AG2 firm and Phillip W. Braithwaite use Gilbert PC Law to develop shell companies/transfers of ownership to Hart Group and then R.W. Chelsea Holdings Ltd?
4. Why the fuck are foreign companies influencing our elections so hard?

Here's an early mnr dig from November on ClearVote - currently used in Seattle/King Co (same place Jeffrey Dean got his start- - where'd they go from there?)
Seems to be part of ClearBallot, but just did this one dig so far.
At the time, this company was pretty obscure but its name has come up several times since, i'm sure there's more material to be found on it now. The changes of these "Clear" companies being 'clean' seem slim.

ClearVote - What is it?
Short answer: one of the products of ClearBallot, the parent company.
ClearVote is part of the new "Clear - EVERYTHING" bundle:
ClearDesign = browser-based user interface
ClearAccess = ballot marking system
ClearCast = optical scan voting system
ClearCount = browser-based central count tabulation system
ClearAudit = automated audit solution
So if you a customer, looks like you can use it to collect all the votes and then self-audit what you did.
(No stone left unturned!)
What is ClearBallot?
"We create technology that empowers our customers to improve democracy"
https://clearballot.com/about-us
Sounds just great, doesn't it??
If you're looking for specifics, forget it. No info on
- owner(s)
- date founded
- company headquarters
- investors
They do provide names of the 'leadership team', including CEO Bob Hoyt, VP of Engr Will Crumbley, and Keir Holman, VP of Tech services. Strangely, the former CEO, Jordan Esten, is listed LAST - as "board member. But you have to join LinkedIn to get any more info.
From qresear.ch so far (searched on "clearballot" :
Same generic stuff. One anons speaks of Dominion controlling Clarity elections software. "Clarity" associated with "Clear"? Sounds plausible but needs a dig. https://source.opennews.org/articles/introducing-clarify/
There were a few other digs, but little info. REALLY hard to find anything substantive.
Bloomberg does fill in a few blanks:
Company address: 7 Water Street Suite 7, Boston (see CAP)
This is the Winthrop Bldg - other tenants Land Trust Alliance/Fidelity Foundation, Millenium Partners Mgmt LLC, 4 Sight Technology, Pembroke Real Estate Inc, Ncrypted Cloud, Forest Cap Partners, M Da Partners, Laura Palumbo.
Phone (see cap)
Company Founded: 8-24-2009
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/1524087D:US
Interesting that the company was founded 11 years ago - since it focuses on how 'new' it is.
Who is really behind ClearBallot? DIGG

"Clear" Voting Systems - July 2021 DIG from Qresear.ch
"clearballot" - 30 results, 6 are from original MNR dig.
Qresearch digs:
#11569589 #14771 Nov 11 2020
- WAnon found digg on illegal voting machines used by State of WAnon
- they're used for mail-in voting
- clearballot is used for vote counting in King County (Seattle), and likely other states. Vote rigging is highly likely, given that ever since the State of Washington went to 'all mail-in-ballots' in 2005, there has never been a Republican governor in that time. It's all been Democrats, and the same with the Attorney General.
>>>/comms/28112
there was a 'writ of mandamus' (an order to correct the chain of custody for voting) filed back in 2018.against Kim Wyman, the Secretary of State for the State of Washington.
Kim Wyman is a Deep State Operative, having been in the 'Aspen Institute' (A George Soros' funded organization)
#11573228 at 2020-11-10 #14776
All of Clear Ballot's certified products operate on a closed and isolated wired network, never attached to modems, the Internet, WiFi, or Bluetooth.Network traffic is encrypted using algorithms recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
First red flag for me here: NIST? same guys who think two buildings each a quarter of a mile high will merely collapse into their own footsteps?
Clear Ballot's visual verification technology provides election officials with the ability to validate voter intent and digitally adjudicate unreadable ballots by highlighting discrepancies and stray marks, including overvotes and undervotes.
2nd red flag: provides election officials with the ability to validate voter intent and digitally adjudicate
I still cannot find their voting tabulation method. I suppose one would have to inquire and that, too, I suspect is by design.
But hey, what do I know?

Edwin Barkley Smith is a Central Character in Election Fraud
OP Anon's dig is very incomplete, and misleading in this respect when he said:
>ed smith with the same phone number runs a cyber corona virus web site called NCTA
https://www.ntca.org/member-services/coronavirus-resource-center/solution-providers/ppe-providers
If OP Anon had bothered to scroll down on the ntca web page, he would have seen that Ed Smith is the contact person of Smartmatic which uses and recommends NTCA PPE products. Other than a recommendation for their products, Smartmatic has nothing to do
with NTCA.
[REALLY????]
Okay, with that out of the way, the phone number 720-849-1775 is a Mead, Colorado number, with Edwin Barkley Smith the user. He lives with his wife Diane Wooley Smith at an address there, and his CV is as follows:
Edwin Smith was an software engineer for Rockwell before he was hired by Sequoia Voting Systems Dec. 4, 2010, then served in subsequent positions in other companies of that same group, Dominion, Clear Ballot, and Smartmatic. Presumably, which hat he wears just depends on which subsidiary was contracted to what State or County.
These companies are all the same, just the names have changed; perhaps they even submitted competitive bids to States/Counties to give a luster of legitimacy to the selection process.
His duties as Quality Control and Certification mean he ensures that the clients get the best product for their needs, which in this case, mean they get the election results they want.
The address given asClear Ballot Group, 7 Water St, Boston, MA is a mail drop; the address is a business called Global Pack Ship, and 7 Water St, Suite 7 is the drop, not a physical address for Clear Ballot Group.
The Clear Ballot Group says that their DUNS number is 833087401, but Dun and Bradstreet never heard of the company, at least by that name. Anons are invited to dig into this, I can't find anything else beyond that number, whether it's fake, or under another name.
'''In sum,Edwin Barkley Smith is a VIP in this election fuckery, has IT skills needed to perform fuckery, and likely liable for fraud perpetrated on the SoS of Washington, misrepresenting what company is contracting to the State of Washington, as Clear Ballot
Group is a shell company fronting, via a mail drop in Boston, for Smartmatic/Dominion/Sequoia.'''
No doubt the SoS of Washington, Kim Dobbs Wyman knows all this, but maybe gets a kickback for employing Clear Ballot Group.
Interestingly,;;; Kim's previous job before SoS was Manager of the Thurston County, Washington Voter Registration Office;;;, kinda like the DS in Washington State picked her to run for SoS because of her past associations and skills. She knows how to game the system.
I recommend Anons dig into the clearballot.com website, it's hilarious with it's bragging about how transparent and effective it is at producing good election results.CEO Bob Hoyt, BTW - dig into him

Edwin Barkley Smith, cont.
LINKED IN
US Global Services Director at Smartmatic
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-smith-785a791
Describes a specific project in which he has been involved:
Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project.
About:
I've never shied away from a challenge. In mid-2018 I left a good job where I stood atop the intersection of the development community and the sales/service/finance community (a place at a start up that I truly enjoyed, learned a lot, and was well respected) to join the most innovative, challenging, and largest elections project in the history of the United States: the Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project. At a baseline value of $212 million with additions of over $80 million, VSAP exceeds anything done before at the County level of US elections by 10X. You should read about it at https://vsap.lavote.net/. I took over as Service Delivery Manager on the project. Although this meant that I was assigned management of the Help Desk, aspects of the Implementation and other areas of accountability, what it really meant is that I got to dive into a number of project areas, roll up my sleeves and spend the days leading up to the election working as anything from an electronic pollbook programmer, a parking lot attendant for 300 vans and trucks, and a roving voting machine technician. The hours were long, 4:30 AM to 11:30 PM was the norm for weeks, but I was exactly where I was meant to be. …and I was able to juggle my Service Delivery “assigned duties” while dealing with those election preparation emergencies.
People tell me that my restless desire to “get dirty”, to walk the shop floor daily and get to know the people and process, along with an innate ability to exude calmness in the face of ugly situations are some of my strengths. My ability to explain to laypersons deep technical and business concepts is also a strength. Getting the job done with no excuses while encouraging others to thrive, make mistakes, and always maintain their dignity and spirit is important to me. The type of persons I find most valuable: someone who focuses on accountability, communicates 360, is trainable, and does not engage in political, diffusive, or divisive efforts. Every company and its people have a finite amount of energy. Focusing that energy is key to success. Mentoring others is also important; and I am proud of how many people I have worked with over the years who continue to stay in touch.
Most of my experience has been at smaller companies or new divisions of larger companies. I have helped all to find a place in the market, knock out incumbents, differentiate their offerings and exceed in getting more than their fair share of those markets.

Found Ed Smith at Smartmatic - where he STILL appears to be employed (so where is he - Smartmatic or ClearBallot?):
Director - Certification
Edwin “Ed” Smith began working in the elections industry in 2001, leading at various times Operations, Hardware Development, Product Management, QA, and Manufacturing.
As a longtime elections veteran, he has developed and implemented corporate level strategies for market entry and share enhancement. With over 80 State and ten federal voting system certifications under his belt, Ed is seen as an expert in system certification, compliance and security.
Ed participates on the Elections Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council of the Department of Homeland Security representing Smartmatic.
Prior to entering elections he held leadership positions in electronics manufacturing operations and quality management.
https://www.smartmatic.com/us/about/leadership/detail/edwin-smith/
Ed participates on the Elections Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council of the Department of Homeland Security representing Smartmatic.
''Well that's interesting.'
Same group that put out THIS stmt claiming "no election fraud" in 2020?
“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history...There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.''
https://www.cisa.gov/news/2020/11/12/joint-statement-elections-infrastructure-government-coordinating-council-election
Wonder what role Ed plays there?
Here's the puff piece put out when he was appointed:
Smartmatic Executive Elected to the Executive Committee of the DHS Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council
https://www.smartmatic.com/us/media/article/smartmatic-executive-elected-to-the-executive-committee-of-the-dhs-election-infrastructure-sector-coordinating-council/
“This is an incredible opportunity to apply my experiences from elections around the country to help US voting jurisdictions build secure and accessible voting infrastructure,” said Smith, who was elected to the Executive Committee at a meeting of the DHS Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council.
At this year’s NASS conference at the Fairmont in Washington, D.C., Smartmatic was able to showcase its advanced election technology and present its latest voting machine, the Premium to attendees including 36 Secretaries of State and more than 300 senior state government staff and private sector representatives.
The Premium represents the latest advances in election systems technology from Smartmatic’s vaunted research and development department. This voting machine addresses the needs of the 1 in 6 voters who are disabled; provides for Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trails; includes secure protocols and encryption to protect against any attempts at vote tampering and much more.
Additionally, in multiple DHS meetings and a United States Intelligence Community briefing, company representatives shared their global experiences in cybersecurity and election administration.
With its advanced election systems, Smartmatic is positioned to help U.S. voting jurisdictions upgrade their voting machines, most which are more than 10 years old, to be more secure, auditable and accessible.

Last but not least (for now):
Short dig on this project Ed Smith and Smartmatic are involved in,
Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project
Los Angeles County—Voting Solutions for All People
November 11, 2020
The ballot marking devices in Los Angeles County’s new Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) system came through the California extended election period with flying colors.
Under the specter of the coronavirus pandemic, LA still saw an estimated 852,000 voters turn out to cast their votes in person. More than half of those who voted in-person cast ballots early during the County’s 11-day window. The county deployed almost 20,000 ballot marking devices (BMDs) to nearly 800 vote centers across the county. LA is America’s largest election jurisdiction with more than 5.8 million registered voters. Smartmatic provided the following:
- Engineered and manufactured the BMD hardware
- Programmed and installed the BMD software
-Led the California certification process
- Created the backend software to manage the devices
- Provided systems integration services
- Built the VSAP operations center
- Handled logistics and setup/breakdown of the vote centers
- Oversaw real-time data management for deployment
- Supplied Help Desk services on Election Day
Smartmatic had, at times, as many as 200 staffers supporting the project.....

Wow! Looks like the CCP may have been using the Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA to steal US aerospace technology for years!
And, would you look at that - Leonardo SpA also happens to be in business with the same UBS Securities that infused $400 million into Staple Street Capital (owner of Dominion Voting Systems) just three weeks before the 2020 presidential election!
Makes you wonder - why is there an Italian affidavit alleging that Leonardo SpA's Head of IT Arturo D'Elia admitted to taking part in a cyber hack of the 2020 election❓

just posted in QRB general - a strange story about Philip Stark, one of the NH auditors.
We already know that NH audit = coverup (GEMS coverup--)
see
>>64109
In that post, we see a vid clip of Philip Stark LYING about what went down in NH
The discussants include experts able to verify that he was lying about the capabilities of GEMS software to connect election machines with the net.
so why is this guy now SUING the EAC???

Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) Is Being Sued for Secretly Permitting Internet Access on Election Machines
In a strange series of events, the Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) is being sued for updating its policy and allowing voting machines to include Internet access. These policy changes were discussed in private with voting machine companies and silently passed by the EAC without required public debate.
EAC
We’ve reported on the EAC before. Earlier this year we reported that the EAC approved the certification for two audit firms within four hours of TGP reporting that the firms were not certified.
We’ve asked what processes did the EAC go through to update these individuals’ credentials and re-certify them within 4 hours of our article being published noting that they weren’t certified.
Philip Stark
Philip Stark has a checkered past. He resigned from Verified Voting which would suggest he is a good guy.
Philip Stark is also a Board member of the EAC and was also in the news lately when he was selected to be one of three ‘auditors’ selected for the New Hampshire audit. We reported the following on Stark.
It appears very likely that the course of this audit has been quietly steered by top Democratic leadership in the U.S. Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D), through the auditors themselves.
. Both Philip Stark, Ph.D. and Barbara Simons, Ph.D., the board chair of Verified Voting and also a member of George Soros’ elite Democracy Alliance Board, are current appointees to the corrupt and powerful U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
Stark was appointed by Speaker Pelosi in 2016 and Simons was appointed by former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D) in 2008 and was re-affirmed by then-Senate Minority now Majority Leader Schumer.
Stark made an early exit in New Hampshire never to be seen again. It’s not known how much time and effort he supplied to the audit and what he was paid for being an auditor in name only. Nor is it known why he left.
But now Stark is back in the news.
This time he is suing the EAC, where he is a Board member. Stark and the organization, Free Speech for People, are suing the EAC for updating voting machine guidelines that allow them to have access to the Internet.
The EAC does not seem like an agency full of integrity especially now after secretly updating the guidelines to allow voting machines to have Internet access.

Credit Suisse Settles Spying Case With Former Wealth Chief Khan
Credit Suisse Group AG said it reached a settlement with its former wealth-management executive Iqbal Khan and a private detective firm, calling to a close a spying scandal that rocked one of Europe’s biggest lenders and ultimately led to the ouster of its chief executive officer Tidjane Thiam last year.
“All involved parties have agreed to settle, and this matter is now closed,” a spokesperson for the bank said on Sunday, confirming that it had reached a settlement with Khan, his wife and the private detective firm Investigo. No further details were disclosed. A probe by Swiss financial regulator, Finma, over the company’s surveillance activities is ongoing. In 2019, Credit Suisse hired a private investigator to spy on Khan, once seen as a potential successor to the CEO before defecting to rival UBS Group AG. The incident culminated in a physical confrontation in downtown Zurich between Khan and the men who followed him, shaking Switzerland’s financial world and setting off investigations by Zurich’s prosecutor and the company’s board of directors. The settlement would close a chapter for Credit Suisse as it seeks to move past a string of recent scandals. It faces an exodus of senior bankers after the collapse of Archegos Capital Management and Greensill Capital. In the aftermath, new chairman Antonio Horta-Osorio pledged a review of the bank’s businesses.
Credit Suisse is set to report its second-quarter earnings on July 29.

Devolution series has been documented by many, including Praying Medic. Here he gives link to all the articles in the entire series.
Article 5 is all about election fraud - and how all the corrupt voting companies have representation on CISA - the support "govt" group that said this famous statement:
== "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
https://www.cisa.gov/news/2020/11/12/joint-statement-elections-infrastructure-government-coordinating-council-election

Following the 2020 election, Chris Krebs of CISA issued a statement saying the election was the most safe and secure in history. Oddly, this letter, from the government agency in charge of election security, was co-authored by several voting machine manufacturers, who it turns out, sit on the board of advisers for CISA. How did this arrangement happen? Article 5 provides the answer.
https://t.me/praying_medic/3554
Relevant part of Article 5:
Summary of article:
When CISA was created in 2018, an Election Infrastructure Subsector Coordinating Council was created - the EISCC. Made up of members of the private sector, not the govt. What does this mean?
Turns out the INFRASTRUCTURE = companies that make voting systems like DOMINION and SMARTMATIC:
"the members of the EISCC are the actual election infrastructure owners and operators, and they handle the physical security along with the cybersecurity through their own “voluntary actions”."
"They “coordinate with the DHS to develop, recommend, and review sector-wide plans, procedures, and effective practices in support of infrastructure protection, including training, education, and implementation”. They also “make recommendations to appropriate authorities to mitigate impediments to effective critical infrastructure security”."
At the end of the article is a discussion all about Staple St Capital/UBS Securities LLC (Chinese subsidiary of UBS from Switzerland).
THE FOXES SMARTMATIC, DOMINION, CLEARBALLOT ARE GUARDING THE HENHOUSE BIGTIME.

Here are the article that I was referring to in my report about Devolution
Chris Miller, Anthony Tata, Kash Patel, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick were appointed to key positions in the Pentagon immediately after the November election. These moves seemed urgent at the time, but the public was never told why they were made. This series offers a logical explanation.
Following the 2020 election, Chris Krebs of CISA issued a statement saying the election was the most safe and secure in history. Oddly, this letter, from the government agency in charge of election security, was co-authored by several voting machine manufacturers, who it turns out, sit on the board of advisers for CISA. How did this arrangement happen? Article 5 provides the answer.
Examples are given about the extreme measures Abraham Lincoln took to preserve the continuity of government during the civil war. Since President Trump has stated publicly that we are at war, would he not have used these same powers himself?

that ClearBallot actually seems to be a shell company subsidiary of Smartmatic, because their address in Boston seems to be a mail drop and Edwin Barkley Smith, an employee of Smartmatic, seems to also be the rep for ClearBallot (although mebbe not on this cmte, will check). On cmte, he is said to be rep for Smartmatic.
Since not in notes, will repost below. Amazing coincidence - did NOT see Article 5 before posting lb.

QRB election fraud thread focuses on the central role of GEMS system in 'launching' election fraud has never come out.
Here's a summary:
GEMS odyssey started in King Co WA (Seattle) with convicted embezzler (just released from prison) Jeffrey Dean somehow holding a highly responsible position in King Co elections around 1999 - bout the same time he developed GEMS for GES, which later became Diebold/Premier which was later sold to Dominion.
GEMS is the system Bev Harris identified in 2016 as behind FRACTIONALIZED VOTING
By around 2001, Dean was VP in GES and had more stock than anyone else. After the sale to Diebold, he faded into the background but was widely suspected of continuing to serve as a 'consultant.'
Meanwhile, in King Co, they went with one of the first all-mail in ballot systems in 2008: one by a company called ClearBallot/ClearVote;. Tried to dig on it last Nov, didn't get far, very little info to be had. But recently, discovered a contact for ClearBallot - which appears to be a shell company - works fulltime for Smartmatic:
Edwin Barkley Smith.
He played a big role in LA elections thru Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People along with 200 other Smartmatic employees.
Smartmatic "LED THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA."
Smith also serves on the Elections Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council of the Department of Homeland Security representing Smartmatic =CISA.
You know - the one that said "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

Very detailed article on Dominion and its acquisition of Diebold/Premier from ES&S (2010) and Sequoia of historic interest. Emphasizes the growing hegemonic influence of Dominion, even in 2010.
One amusing fact: Dominion's spokesman is Chris Riggall.
Most important statment: ‘Intellectual Property’ of voting systems still owned by firm linked to Venezuelan President, despite press statement to the contrary.
PLUS: The election official/e-voting company revolving ‘oversight’ door continues to turn...

Captain Seth Keshel: The Numbers Don't Lie. The Election was STOLEN.
The Professor's Record with David K. Clements Published July 9, 2021
Rumble — In this interview, Captain Seth Keshel discusses his journey from baseball analytics to military intelligence, followed by a providential meeting with General Michael Flynn that changed his life forever.
Captain Keshel breaks down the impossible statistical anomalies that defy election trends going back over 100 years, and pulls back the curtain on what it was like to be on the all-star team of General Flynn, Sidney Powell, and Lin Wood.

Real Coup Exposed
Aug 16, 2021
Dr David Clements interviewed by Stew Peters
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2021/08/dr-david-clements-live-bad-actors-exposed-coup-attempt-real-all-lies-revealed/
He's been with the President, Gen Flynn, Patrick Byrne, Mike Lindell in the last 2 weeks. What does he think about that?
DC - all patriots but all different.
Excellent interview - believes the explosive intel/counterintel stuff around Mike Lindell is basically true - beyond the scope of anything he's dealt with before.
Very balanced response - thoughtful.
"I'm just this law professor in the middle of the desert and got pulled into this somehow....but let's not waste time [focusing on the 'spy novel' aspect of things] but focus on getting forensic audits.
Too many secondhand sources right now. He trusted some people and endorsed them - wants to focus more on the audits (not the personalities/possible betrayals).
Let's take greater ownership of the process but also pay attention to what is happening.
sTew - Has a coup taken place?
DC - Yes, absolutely. Knew on Nov 4....hard for an audience to hear. So instead focus on promoting debate - this is like a digital version of the Gulag Archipelago.
DC - on 45: he's the Art of War personalified. Has assets and tools that others don't have - he won the election. Black hats know he won, so do white hats. We have to break the spell over the others.
Stew - how do we do this?
DC - be practical, need a strong faith - you do this bc you have family. don't care if someone thinks i'm crazy, we've already fallen over that cliff. Republic is hanging on by a thread. There's a sense of urgency. We need to hit critical mass - we're so close now. We have to make msm OBSOLETE.
Cabal was hoping we would have been over this election by March - that didn't happen. Now they're desperate. Have to find a homebase [goes on to describe what qrb seems like....hahahaha - but TRUE]
moar....

Who's behind election fraud ALL OVER THE WORLD???
Whoever controls the election systems
Who OWNS the systems, starting w/Dominion?
>>64161 from Lin Wood in Nov 2020: Chain of ownership
Steve Feinberg /Cerberus
|
Staple Street
|
Dominion
SEC doc shows that Staple St Capital offered to issue (apparently DID issue) $400mil in stock to UBS Securities LLC on Oct 8, 2020
SEE https://tokenist.com/what-we-know-dominion-voting-systems-and-ubs-securities/
That would give UBS Securities LLC a stake in Dominion.
How big?
Depends on worth of UBS Sec LLC. So we don't know the %.
Swiss mega-bank UBS AG is the parent company. It owns two very similar sounding divisions:
UBS Sec LLC is a division of UBS AG based in NYC.
UBS Sec Ltd based in mainland China.
Why so similar? Confusing (maybe ON PURPOSE).
Fact-checker cited by USA Today said the claim that China owns part of Dominion is false.
Claims apparently comes from Alex Jones but was picked up by Lin Wood. Fact checker says Lynn got confused between the two companies called UBS:'''
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/01/23/fact-check-dominion-voting-systems-foreign-investment-claim-false/4038654001/
But fact checker apparently ignores this article written more than a month earlier, which shows that UBS New York and UBS Beijing HAD HIGH LEVEL OFFICERS/EMPLOYEES IN COMMON:
1 - three out of four board directors were Chinese nationals. One of them, Ye Xiang, also served on board of the other subsidiary, UBS Securities Co. Ltd (based in Beijing). He also worked for China’s central bank.
2 - UBS received a special, fully-licensed status in China, which is rarely given to foreign banks.
3 - The deal broker was none other than Chinese vice premier Wang Qishan, who has a reputation as a finance specialist in the Chinese government.
On top of all that, a day before Lin Wood’s tweet, 12 out of 15 UBS board members quit their positions.
Among them was Ye Xiang. Another most recent individual to walk away was Cheng Yixun, a financial expert from Chinese’s Thousand Talents Program* and the ex-CEO of Beijing-based UBS Securities Co. Ltd. Interestingly, the Thousand Talents Program has been widely covered by the US media as a security threat to America’s national interests.'' (see Wikipedia for more on TTP.)
Things don’t end there, as Dominion itself had Chinese insiders.
Among them is Andy Huang, the Dominion’s Core Infrastructure Manager of Information Technology. Andy previously worked for China Telecom, from 1998 to 2002. Needless to say, such vital companies are tightly controlled by the Chinese government.
https://tokenist.com/what-we-know-dominion-voting-systems-and-ubs-securities/ (published DEC & 2020)
BOTTOM LINE: BOTH UBS DIVISIONS ARE TECHNICALLY CONTROLLED BY UBS AG in Switzerland.
Looks like it is the "hidden hand" behind the curtain.

OTHER LOOSE ENDS RE DOMINION OWNERSHIP:
1.If we assume that (a) NY-based UBS Securities LLC is China-influenced/controlled and (b) it now has a $400mil chunk of Dominion as of Oct 8 2020, what's the split between UBS LLC and UBS AG?
>>64161 Lin Wood thought the split was 75%/25% in favor of China
>>64163 But since Dec 1, 2018, the split is 49%/51%
Almost NO ONE researching this stuff has paid attn to the fact that UBS AG owns 51% NOT 25%
https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/china-deal_ubs-secures-majority-stake-in-a-china-securities-joint-venture/44587188
THIS IS IMPORTANT INFO.
2. Question: Why would China give UBS AG controlling interest?
Possibilities:
a. For OPTICS. Makes China look less controlling (only has 49%) - but a wise friend pointed out that, as a country, China has enough clout that the "49%" doesn't really matter.
b. For OPTICS. So that after the election was stolen, if they got caught, they could still say a SWISS BANK has controlling interest, NOT CHINA__.
c. UBS AG is the real influencer, the 'hidden hand'. CS as a habit of revealing themselves with obscure clues - this could be one of them.
3. We still don't know the split between Staple Street and UBS AG:
How much ownership does Staple Street retain? Is $400mil 100% of Dominion or 0%? Or somewhere in between?
Whatever the answer, it's obvious that UBS AG obviously plays a HUGE ROLE here.
What are they doing and why are they being deceptive (changing out Chinese directors in UBS NYC after the election?)
Who REALLY controls Dominion?
Is it CHINA - - - or SWITZERLAND??
Who really controls UBS AG? see >>64167, https://t.me/marcopolousa/16
a country or a cabal?
4. Another strange thing: the $400mil transaction on Oct 8, 2020 was unusual - a "one-and-done" transaction, completed very quickly during a pandemic. Mostly likely scenario: ONE entity did the financing. IF SO, WHO IS IT?

5. Last, on 09/26/2019, a paralegal from Chapman & Culler LLP, Soren Schwartz,facilitated and signed a Security Agreement between Dominion Voting Systems Corporation & Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) Canada. The agreement assigned 18 patents owned by Dominion to HSBC as collateral. see >>64347
Dominion is a Canadian company - looks like HSBC is too? Has a Canadian address:
4th floor, 70 York Street
Toronto, CA M5J 1S9
Dominion is also located in Toronto.....wonder if they are neighbors
What's this Canadian bank? And how much is its collateral worth?

Dominion/HSBC dig
HSBC
Second largest bank in EU.
Owns 18 Dominion patents. So it's got a LOT of clout over that company.
It's COLLETERAL - but for what?
Findings so far:
1. Established in 1865 to finance the OPIUM TRADE after first opium war.
The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank was founded by Thomas Sutherland in the then-British colony of British Hong Kong on 3 March 1865, and in Shanghai a month later, benefiting from the start of trading into China, includingopium trading(wikipedia).
2. Went to London during WW2. But China bank did swell even after CCP took over China - lots of expansion between 1953 - 1980 and after. (wikipedia)
Cultural Revolution? No problem! (wonder how they pulled that off at a time when anything capitalist was getting destroyed....)
'''3. Now has branches in countries all over the world. HSBC Holdings is centered in London with branches all over the world, including China and Canada. Second largest bank in Europe. (wikipedia)
4. Has had problems with money laundering in the past.
July 3, 2013: British bank helped move money for drug traffickers and countries subject to U.S. sanctions
"When announcing the charges last year, the government called HSBC's actions 'stunning failures of oversight — and worse...The record of dysfunction that prevailed at HSBC for many years was astonishing',the Justice Department said at the time."
Obvious this bank is TOTALLY CORRUPT.

first article is on the branch of HSBC Canada (the one holding the Dominion patents as collateral).
second article is on HSBC Holdings (umbrella out of London).
HSBC Canada posts best quarterly results since 2018
8-3-21
- HSBC cemented its position as a leading international bank operating in Canada with strong second quarter results.
- The banking group posted increases in both revenue and profits before taxes as customer activity increased amid an improving outlook for the global economy.
- Total operating income for the quarter was $547m, up $45m or 9.0% and $1,076m for the half-year, up $28m or 2.7%.
- “Our results this quarter are the best since the third quarter of 2018 – with an improved economic outlook and the resilience of our customers leading to improved profits across all three business lines,” commented Linda Seymour, president and CEO of HSBC Canada.

ALEX BRUMMER: HSBC is banking on an Asian miracle as it retreats from Europe and the US
2 August 2021
https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-9853435/ALEX-BRUMMER-HSBC-banking-Asian-miracle.html
Recent report on HSBC status.
Some might question HSBC’s retreat from continental Europe and the United States at a moment when economies are fizzing as they bounce back from Covid-19. It might also seem an inappropriate moment to focus on its core markets in Hong Kong and China at a time of deteriorating diplomatic and economic relations with Washington and London. Nevertheless, the clue is in the bank’s name, the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. This has seen the franchise survive the opium wars, chairman Mao, Tiananmen Square and much more.
The bank is vulnerable to regulatory foul-ups after its troubles with money laundering in the past, and new scandal could endanger its US banking licence. That would be a disaster as it is the main conduit for dollar transfers between Hong Kong and New York.

Fake Claims About Dominion Voting Systems Do Real Damage
Our machines have no secret ‘vote flipping’ algorithm. We have no ties to dictator Hugo Chávez.
Nov 30, 2020
by JOHN POULOS
CEO and Founder of DOMINION
Accurate, transparent and accessible elections—this is the objective that motivated me to create Dominion Voting Systems 18 years ago in Canada. From the start, the company was focused on improving paper-based voting, and it continues to pursue vote-tabulation solutions that enhance accuracy and transparency through audits and reviews, as well as by allowing voters to create, verify and privately cast a marked paper ballot. But if you’ve heard about our role in the U.S. election on Twitter, it’s likely you’ve heard something different.
The allegations against Dominion are bizarre, but I’ll set the record straight. Dominion is an American company, now headquartered in Denver. Dominion is not and has never been a front for communists. It has no ties to Hugo Chávez, the late dictator of Venezuela. It has never been involved in Venezuelan elections. None of Dominion’s systems use the Smartmatic software that has come under attack, as any state certification lab could verify.
There is no secret “vote flipping” algorithm. Third-party test labs, chosen by the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission and accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, perform complete source-code reviews on every federally certified tabulation system. States replicate this process for their own certifications. Postelection canvassing and auditing also exist to provide additional assurance of the vote totals’ accuracy.
The part of the election process on which Dominion focuses is highly regulated and certified. The company doesn’t work in noncertified areas such as voter-registration systems, poll books or signature-verification software, and it doesn’t provide vote-by-mail printing. Dominion voting machines do one thing: accurately tabulate votes from county-verified voters using a durable paper ballot controlled and secured by local elections officials....

Why are Swiss-Chinese relations so close?
January 13, 2017
Whether it’s the economy, finance, research, the environment, culture or even human rights, hardly a month goes by without a Chinese delegation visiting Switzerland. Bilateral relations are based on mutual respect and trust, according to one Swiss ambassador.
This content was published on January 13, 2017 - 17:00 January 13, 2017 - 17:00
swissinfo.ch
In April 2016, Economics Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann, who held the rotating Swiss presidency last year, travelled to Beijing. Less than 12 months later, China’s president Xi Jinping arrives in Bern on Sunday. Such a return visit at the top level is unusual.
“It’s a clear sign of the importance that China attaches to Switzerland,” says Johannes Matyassy, head of the Asia-Pacific region at the Swiss foreign ministry.
He emphasizes that Xi’s visit is not just a question of courtesy, but is “thoroughly substantive”, although Matyassy doesn’t want to divulge any details. Internally, the talk is of “a few documents” that both countries will sign in order to underscore long-term cooperation.
So why does China give such weight to comparatively tiny Switzerland?
Matyassy says that for China, Switzerland is a model in many areas, for example innovation: Switzerland was one of the first Western countries that sought contact with China.
“Compared with other Western countries, Swiss-Chinese relations are pioneering,” Matyassy tells swissinfo.ch.
Bern recognised the People’s Republic of China in 1950 – just one year after its creation. Switzerland was also early to recognise China as a market economy in 2007.
In 2013, Switzerland became the first continental European country to sign a free-trade agreement with Beijing, and in 2016 Switzerland was one of the first countries in Europe to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
However, this closeness to China is frequently the subject of criticism from development organisations, which accuse the Swiss government of turning a blind eye to human rights.
Diplomatic breakdown
The early establishment of diplomatic relations created for Switzerland considerable trust among the Chinese. This played a large role in ensuring that relations survived testing moments, such as in 1999 when, during the official reception in Bern for China’s then-President Jiang Zemin, Tibetan sympathisers unrolled “Free Tibet” banners. “You’ve lost a good friend,” Jiang told Swiss politicians.
It’s taken 18 years for a Chinese president to return to Switzerland. The visit offers a chance to close that chapter once and for all.

The turning point after that diplomatic breakdown and the development of good relations was 2007,
when Switzerland and China signed a memorandum of understanding “to intensify high-level political consultations and strengthen bilateral relations across a wide range of areas”, as the foreign ministry puts it.
Around 20 dialogues have since been opened and a wide range of relations rebuilt, according to Matyassy. “An unbelievable dynamic was created,” he says.
Countless visits followed, from 2010 only at government level. In 2013, five of the seven cabinet ministers headed to China – a record. Currently hardly a month goes by without a Chinese minister or an important delegation coming to Switzerland, Matyassy adds.
Worried officials
As in 1999, exiled Tibetans want to express their anger at China’s treatment of minorities.
The Swiss authorities have given permission for a demonstration to be held in Bern on Sunday, but not yet approved one planned for Geneva on Tuesday. In any case, Xi and the protestors are unlikely to come face to face.
Neither the Swiss government nor Beijing have an interest in what they would consider a diplomatic cock-up. “It could complicate cooperation in important areas of Swiss-Chinese relations,” Matyassy says.
Both sides are biting their nails.

Rage against the machine
Diebold struggles to bounce back from the controversy surrounding its voting machines
FORTUNE Magazine
By Barney Gimbel, Fortune writer-reporter
November 3 2006: 9:46 AM EST
(Fortune Magazine) -- Here's a five-step plan guaranteed to make an obscure company absolutely notorious.
First get into a business you don't understand, selling to customers who barely understand it either. Then roll out your product without adequate testing. Don't hire enough skilled people. When people notice problems, deny, obfuscate and ignore. Finally, blame your critics when it all blows up in your face.
[SEE CAP - Ballot Box Blues]
With missteps like those, it would be hard to succeed in the gumball business. But when your product is the hardware and software of democracy itself, that kind of performance gets you called not just incompetent but evil - an enemy of democracy. And that is what has happened to Diebold Inc. (Charts) of Canton, Ohio, since it got into the elections business in 2001.
The move seemed like a good idea at the time. The $3 billion public company, whose core products are ATMs, bank vaults and security systems, had just sold 186,000 voting machines to Brazil, where they delivered a quick and clean count in the 2000 elections.
Surely, Diebold reasoned, it could duplicate this success closer to home. "We thought if we got this right," says Thomas Swidarski, the company's CEO and president, "then we could do it across the globe."
But faster than you can say hanging chad, things went wrong. In early 2003, activists found a version of Diebold's secret software on the Internet. The code had so many security flaws that one group would later post a video of a chimpanzee changing votes.
Weeks later, Diebold's then-CEO Walden O'Dell famously wrote to fellow Bush supporters in a fundraising letter that he was committed to "help Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President." It didn't take long for political activists, many of them already suspicious of the new voting technology, to begin diving through the company's dumpsters and picketing its shareholder meetings.
Though other voting-machine companies have also had their difficulties, it is "the dreaded Diebold," as one blogger on DailyKos refers to it, that stirs up the likes of Michael Moore. "The reason Diebold gets so much heat," says activist Bev Harris, author of "Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century," "is not because they're any worse than their competitors. It's because we got more information on them early on."

The drumbeat of bad news has never stopped.
This year, researchers have found more security flaws, and another version of the software was leaked. In Maryland, Diebold allegedly knew that some of its machines had defective motherboards but did not replace them for a year. Both candidates for governor there advised their supporters to vote via absentee ballot rather than use Diebold machines.
Rolling Stone published an article alleging that Diebold helped deliver Georgia to the GOP (Diebold calls the story "fiction"). The company is an unwitting star in a new HBO documentary called "Hacking Democracy." Oh, and the SEC is investigating accounting irregularities.
Deep in a corporate nightmare, Diebold is wondering how to shake itself awake. After all, this is a 147-year-old company once headed by Eliot Ness, the storied crime fighter. Internally there is little doubt that the company rues the day it stepped out of its comfort zone and into the maw of electoral politics.
Selling political equipment to politicians is an ugly business - and thanks to lawsuits, lobbying expenses and public relations consultants, the profit margins have been stingy too. (The voting division, which accounts for just 5 percent of the $3 billion company's revenue, only started making money last year.)
But after a close look at Diebold and its operations, it's hard to see the company as evil. Naive? Yes. Ignorant? Sure. Stupid? Sometimes. "We didn't know a whole lot about the elections business when we went into it, "admits Swidarski. "Here we are, a bunch of banking folks thinking making voting machines would be similar to making ATMs. We've learned some pretty painful lessons."

_A history of success__
A cow, a lantern, and a straw-filled barn made Charles Diebold (pronounced DEE-bold) a household name in the banking world. It was the night of Oct. 8, 1871, when, as legend has it, the Great Chicago Fire started in Mrs. O'Leary's cowshed. When 878 Diebold safes survived with their contents unharmed, business took off.
Canton became known as "Little Germany," thanks to the thousands of immigrants who flocked to work in the Diebold factories. (German immigrants arriving in New York reportedly only had to say "Diebold" for directions to Canton-bound trains.)
By the beginning of the 20th century, the company was making jails, trapdoors for gallows, and padded cells for asylums. During World War II it made armor plating for tanks and airplanes. Then, in the 1960s, the company bet its future on a speculative technology: automated teller machines.
Diebold quickly became a global market leader. But it stayed intensely Midwestern, content to manufacture its machines locally and allow companies like IBM (Charts) to distribute them overseas.
In the mid-1990s, however, when rival NCR (Charts) passed it to become the market leader, Diebold changed tactics and took control of its worldwide distribution (today its share is 30 percent). The company began buying up suppliers around the world, including a Brazilian ATM maker, Procomp Amazonia, in October 1999.

Entering the political sphere
Around the same time, the Brazilian government was looking to fully automate its election system. Procomp got the $106 million contract - Diebold's largest ever - to make 186,000 identical electronic voting machines for the 2000 election.
At the exact same time that Florida's officials were haggling over butterfly ballots, Brazil's were congratulating themselves on a clean and tidy result.
Emboldened by Diebold's success in Brazil, CEO Walden O'Dell set out to ensure that the company got a serious piece of the U.S. elections business.
The first problem was that the Brazilian machines weren't sophisticated enough for the U.S. market and couldn't be certified quickly. So O'Dell needed to buy a company to get into the market for the 2002 midterm elections.
In June 2001, Diebold announced it was acquiring Global Electronic Systems, based in McKinney, Texas, for about $30 million. Global was a $7 million operation that made most of its money printing ballots for its optical-scan reading machine. Its touch-screen system, the Accu-Vote-TS, wasn't a big seller.
Nothing was a big seller then. The elections business was populated by a couple dozen private firms that often literally sold equipment out of the back of their cars. That's because their customers were poor.
U.S. elections are intensely local affairs, run by more than 3,000 separate counties. Buying new equipment was a luxury. If county commissioners had to choose between filling a pothole or buying new voting equipment, the pothole invariably won.
That all changed when Congress passed the Help America Vote Act in 2002. With it came $3.9 billion in grants for states to replace punch-card and mechanical-lever machines and to set up statewide voter lists.
Local election officials soon found themselves inundated by high-powered lobbyists. "I don't think those election boards had ever seen as many dinners out," says Paul Tipps, a prominent Democrat who lobbied for Diebold in Ohio.
With its main rivals - Oakland, Calif.-based Sequoia Voting Systems and Omaha, Neb.-based Election Systems & Software - making inroads in Florida, Diebold targeted other states. In March 2002, just two months after it completed its purchase of Global, Maryland put in a $13 million order to equip four counties with touch-screen machines. In May, Georgia signed a $54 million contract to buy 20,000 Diebold machines.

Early warning signs
After the takeover, the big contracts meant big problems. Diebold had let the Global operation alone, but it just couldn't keep up. Orders were lost, manufacturing fell behind schedule, the technical staff was overwhelmed.
Recalls Swidarski, the unit lacked "the wherewithal really to know how to manage a business. They were doing complex rollouts without the depth or breadth or skill set to deal with what they were going to do."
The same could be said of the customers. Election administrators were often unsophisticated county employees who had been in the job forever. "If we work with Bank of America and they want to roll out 1,000 ATMs, they'll have 25 professional project managers," says Swidarski. "You go to a meeting at a county and you're looking at two people."
It didn't help that Global's touch-screen system, the AccuVote-TS, was flawed from the start. It had purchased the technology from a small company called I-Mark, whose founders had designed it as an unattended voting terminal that could be used in places like shopping malls or supermarkets. "The only problem was they weren't looking at security," says Douglas Jones, a computer science professor at University of Iowa who has been testing voting machines since 1994.
Not quite the only problem. Because there was little demand for touch-screen systems before 2001, Global hadn't spent much on software development. (Jones thinks they needed to start over.)
So the system voters used in 2002 was bug-ridden. Diebold machines crashed early and often, and there was insufficient trained staff to cope with the inevitable problems. (One problem: "vote hopping," where, due to an uncalibrated touch screen, pressing one candidate counted the one next to it.) Even so, after the election, press accounts largely glossed over the problems as isolated hiccups. Orders continued to roll in. And then things fell apart.
Until recently, hardly anyone gave a thought to the mechanics of voting. Even fewer thought about hackers. But in the wake of 2000, the mechanics of voting became politicized.
One key moment came when Bev Harris heard her suburban Seattle county was considering switching to electronic touch-screen machines. Curious, she started trawling the Internet for information - and late one night in January 2003, she discovered a cache of files on an unprotected Diebold server. In it were e-mails between programmers discussing the system's problems.
"Distributing this software is extremely dangerous," a programmer wrote in 2001. "Our smart-card format has absolutely no security, so if someone were to get a copy of this software and a reader, they could stand at the ballot station and quietly burn new voters cards all day.... I can see the cover of USA Today in my head. Consider everyone warned." (Diebold says the problem was fixed before the 2002 elections.)
Digging further, Harris found a version of the company's secret software that ran the machines. She passed it to Avi Rubin, a computer science professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Within an hour, Rubin says, he discovered that the software's encryption system was one "everyone knew was broken since 1998." That same day, he found that the administrative password to all the machines was the same: 1-1-1-1.
"It looked like an experimental student project," Rubin says. "If it was my student's project, they would have gotten an F." His report, which came out two days after Maryland had awarded Diebold a $56 million contract for 11,000 touch-screen machines, galvanized those who had always been suspicious of electronic voting.
The company pointed out in a 27-page retort that the software wasn't in use and that there were checks and balances to prevent fraud. The response didn't satisfy the skeptics; an avalanche of criticism - some of it thoughtful, some of it wacko - began to bear down.
In 2004, California decertified Diebold machines and joined a civil lawsuit filed by Bev Harris that alleged Diebold lied when it said its equipment had been federally certified. The company admitted no guilt but agreed to settle, paying California $2.6 million.
At the same time, it continued to have manufacturing problems, once shutting down production because the touch-screen machines were malfunctioning. (It took a year to replace the defective motherboards.)
Changing gears
Soon, Swidarski, then a senior marketing executive in the ATM unit, took over the elections business. "The board understands, as best anyone can, the volatile nature of the business/media and that politics are involved," Swidarski wrote in an e-mail to his deputies in the elections division. "However, the board cannot understand how the [Secretary of State] of [California] indicates that we have lied, misled, and withheld information."
Swidarski fired many Global staff and brought in a new boss from Canton, Dave Byrd, to run the business. The voting unit began to operate more smoothly, grossing $150 million in 2005 and making a small profit.
In December 2005, the board pushed O'Dell out and named Swidarski CEO. Just as he did with the elections business, Swidarski cleaned house: Only two of the seven top executives he inherited are still at Diebold today.
Swidarski is cut from a different cloth than his predecessor. O'Dell liked deals and was frankly bored by ATMs; he loved being known as one of Bush's Pioneers - generous Republican donors. A former senior executive with Emerson Electric, O'Dell's top priority was to make the numbers.
Swidarski, by contrast, is more focused on the customers than he is on Wall Street. (He refuses to give quarterly earnings guidance.) A former marketing executive at PNC Bank in Pittsburgh, he is straightforward and unpretentious. In his short tenure as CEO, he has changed the mood at Canton. "This place is dramatically different from a year ago," says CFO Kevin Krakora, "almost night and day."
Smart Business 100, Swidarski's $100 million plan to cut costs and increase customer service, is beginning to show dividends. Since fading to less than $35 in September 2005, Diebold's stock is now at $42. Profits dropped 41 percent last year, but were still a healthy $161 million on $2.6 billion of revenue.
Diebold looks set to beat those numbers this year. "The new management team," says Gil Luria, a research analyst at Wedbush Morgan Securities, "seems to be on top of what they really need to do to turn around the company." Krakora puts it simply, "This company prints cash."
Dubious voting
But its voting machines continue to attract scorn. In August, Edward Felten, a computer-science professor at Princeton University, got his hands on a Diebold machine similar to those still used in Georgia. With the help of two graduate students, he posted a video online that showed him infiltrating and installing a virus in what appears to be less than a minute.
Felten found that the key to the lock protecting the memory card, which is used to both update the software and record votes, was one commonly used in office furniture and even hotel minibars. Once the door to the slot was open, he could slip in a virus-infested memory card and alter votes. "We were completely floored by how easy it was," Felten says.
Diebold disputes the accuracy, integrity and plausibility of the Princeton study, pointing out that Felten's team used an old machine with two-year-old software not in use today. Plus, the team had four months to figure it all out.
"The report all but ignores physical security and election procedures," says Mark Radke, marketing director of Diebold Election Systems. "Every local jurisdiction secures its voting machines - every voting machine, not just electronic machines. Electronic machines are secured with security tape and numbered security seals that would reveal any sign of tampering."
Therein lies the rub, says Michael Shamos, a computer-science professor at Carnegie Mellon University who has been testing election equipment since 1980.
"Diebold doesn't fully get it about security," he says. "Their position every time somebody raises the prospect of insider manipulation of elections is, 'Are you telling me you think that these election officials would commit a felony?' And the answer is, 'Yes, that's what we're saying. They might commit a felony, and what is your system doing to prevent them?'"
Even so, Shamos doesn't completely buy the Princeton study. "What Felten found wasn't a bug in the software," he says. "It was a deliberate feature that comes from the need to be able to update the machines quickly."
Felten, he says, makes it seem like anyone with a memory card could go into a Diebold machine, root around and swing an election. Shamos points out that since the machines aren't networked, a virus would have to be tailored to the ballot and inserted into each machine one wanted to manipulate. That's a lot more work - and a lot more opportunities to screw up - than it looks like on video.
A national rollout of almost any product is bound to have glitches. But when elections depend upon the product in a country whose politics are scarred by distrust, there is little tolerance for error.
The problem critics had with the early touch-screen systems was the lack of a tangible way - such as the kind of receipt consumers get at ATM machines - to verify results. (Oddly, few made this complaint about lever machines.)
Though about half of the touch-screen systems in use today provide an audit trail that voters can see, that presents its own problems, such as installing the paper or keeping it from jamming.
What really gets the critics going, though, is the possibility of stealing or "editing" votes by the bundle, either in a specific precinct or, worse, by hacking into a central database. As William "Boss" Tweed, who effectively ran New York City in the mid-1800s, once noted, "The ballots made no result; the counters made the result."
Diebold's critics say that is the problem. But for all the sound and fury swirling around the company, there has not been a single confirmed incident of tampering with a Diebold or any other electronic machine; it's much more difficult to write a computer virus than to tinker with a ballot box. (Ah, say the critics, but prove it hasn't happened.)
So what's the prediction for this election? The primaries were a mixed bag. One big story was that Florida was not a story, but there were problems elsewhere, from poll workers unable to boot up the machines, to transmission problems, to unexpected screen freezes.
"History shows us it always takes at least three good-sized elections before we have any new system down," says Doug Lewis, the executive director of the Election Center, an organization that represents and trains local election administrators. "It would be a miracle if there weren't problems in this election."
As for Diebold, Swidarski is questioning whether the election business "fits into our product portfolio." He says he'll make a decision within the next three months. But it says something that the company recently ordered the name "Diebold" removed from the front of the voting equipment. Why? A spokesman would only say, "It was a strategic decision on the part of the corporation."

JEFFREY DEAN'S AMAZING HISTORY
Bev Harris article from 2006 details Dean's history LONG BEFORE he went to jail for embezzlement.
originally from General thread: >>82507, >>82519 JEFFREY DEAN / GEMS DIGG - ongoing
Programmer Jeff Dean worked for chief of White House Plumbers unit
by Bev Harris, Kathleen Wynne, and John Howard
January 26, 2006
Convicted of 23 felonies for computer crimes, Jeffrey Dean was sent to prison for four years. Shortly after his release from incarceration, his company was awarded one of the largest ballot printing contracts in history.
In a 2003 deposition, Dean states that he was a scapegoat who was left holding the bag in a series of unapproved payments from Culp, Guterson & Grader, one of the most politically connected law firms in Washington state.
One of this firm's partners at the time was Egil "Bud" Krogh, who headed the White House "plumbers" unit under Richard Nixon. Krogh ordered the burglary of Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.
Dean claimed that other persons from the firm were involved in a scheme, and upon discovery of illicit payments (averaging $14,000/month) he was made to take the blame. Krogh was a partner at Culp Guterson & Grader during the time period that Dean was receiving illicit payments of approximately $15,000 per month.
Like Jeffrey Dean, Krogh did time in prison -- four months for Watergate-related crimes. He was disbarred, but after a fight from a Culp Guterson & Grader attorney, his credentials were restored. At the time, the firm was called "Culp Dwyer Guterson & Grader."
'He [Krogh] was hired on the merits of his character, intelligence and skills as a lawyer,'' said William L. Dwyer, the firm's senior partner, who had represented Mr. Krogh in his disbarment fight. Dwyer became a U.S. district judge.
DEAN BECOMES A BALLOT PRINTER
Shortly after Jeffrey Dean was released from prison a company owned by his wife (but run by Jeffrey Dean)was awarded one of the largest ballot-printing contracts in history, with King County, Washington.In SEC documents, this company (Spectrum Print & Mail Ltd.) lists assets located in the Seattle area, British Columbia, San Francisco and in the Norwalk (CA) location that houses the Los Angeles County Elections Division.
DEAN DEVELOPS COMPUTERIZED ELECTION SYSTEMS
According to depositions taken in 2003, Jeffrey Dean programmed the ballot sorting software used to process incoming and outgoing mail-in ballots; he also developed the Vote Remote software used to track and authenticate mail-in ballots.
Key logs from King County Elections show that Jeffrey Dean was given intimate access to the GEMS server== (Diebold central tabulating software); internal memos from Diebold refer to an ongoing consulting arrangement with Dean, and document that he had management involvement in the touch-screens, the 1.96 version of the optical scan, the votercard encoder and the Windows CE operating system used in Diebold voting machines. In addition, during recent litigation Dean called Peter G. Martin as a witness, indicating that he had worked closely with Martin, who programmed the new upcoming High Speed Central Count system.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITH THE DEAN FAMILY
Black Box Voting has learned that Jeffrey Dean and his wife Deborah have recently been ordered into Chapter 7 bankruptcy by a trustee who become fed up with their "gamesmanship" in recent attempts to obstruct discovery of their assets.

A 25 YEAR HISTORY OF TROUBLE
Jeffrey Dean has a 25-year history of financial problems, tax liens and litigation, going back to a company he formed while working for Boeing. Though he refers to this company in recent depositions as "Astec," its real name was Advanced Systems Technology, Inc., a company run by Dean and partner Michael C. Redman. Dean represents that this company did aircraft design, and says that he sold it to Raleigh-Durham Aviation in 1980. Legal documents show that he had a $700,000 tax lien imposed on him in connection with the "failed business" in 1984, and several creditors filed civil suits against him in 1979 and 1980.
By 1982, Dean was a contractor for Culp, Guterson & Grader. Assets began accumulating under his wife's names. When Dean divorced his first wife and married wife #2, Lorimay, she began accumulating real estate under an entity called "JAL Investments Inc." This entity and its real estate was transferred to Dean's third wife, Deborah M. [Pederson] Dean.
These efforts failed when it was revealed that over $180,000 of inappropriately received funds were spent on Deborah Dean's house, and that Deborah had been cashing checks as large as $10,000 at a time from the illicit funds.
Although she was involved in litigation over restitution issues, Deborah Dean was not prosecuted in the thefts from Culp, Guterson & Grader.
Jeffrey Dean entered an Alford Plea admitting to 23 felony counts, and was ordered to appear at the Shelton Correctional facility to begin his incarceration. Instead, he failed to show up and went to Oregon, where he apparently lived under a different name. Bench warrants were issued and he went to prison.
Meanwhile, wife Deborah began "Spectrum Print & Mail Ltd." According to depositions, this firm was mostly delivering newspapers to contract deals like the Washington ferries.
Shortly after Jeffrey Dean got out of prison, however, Spectrum Print & Mail got into ballot printing and designing software for elections.
This ballot printing plant, using software Dean claims to have developed, handles ballot printing and mail-ballot processing for counties like King County (WA) and Los Angeles County, Fresno County, San Diego County, Alameda County (CA), and for the state of Georgia and many other locations.
The Deans were rewarded for Jeffrey Dean's ballot printing and election software programming work in a $4 million buyout by Global Election Systems shortly before election 2000. The Deans became the largest stockholders of Global Election Systems, and Jeffrey Dean took a position on the board of directors.
In January 2002, Diebold Inc. purchased Global Election Systems. Oddly, in a 2003 deposition, Jeffrey Dean claims that his contact with Global was always Pat Green -- but Green is a Diebold employee, not a Global Election Systems employee. Yet Diebold claims it hasn't worked with Jeffrey Dean.
The Dean's ballot printing company was acquired by Diebold in the Global Election Systems acquisition.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
The Vote Remote software and the absentee ballot processing software developed by Jeffrey Dean was never submitted for certification, has not been examined by anyone, and due to technicalities i n the certification regulations, is not subject to certification. Several counties have recently announced plans to force voters into all mail-in voting, including King County, Jeffrey Dean's first elections client.
Exactly what Jeffrey Dean was doing to the GEMS database program, what "oversight" he was providing to the touch-screen technology purchased by Diebold, and what expertise he provided for the votercard encoder, the optical scan 1.96 series, and the upcoming High Speed Central Count are not publicly known at this time.
DIEBOLD CLAIMS MERIT FURTHER SCRUTINY
Diebold claims that it did not work with Jeffrey Dean after acquiring Global Election Systems in 2002. However, the Dean depositions reveal that in May and June 2002, during the time the "rob-georgia" patch was created, Jeffrey Dean was called back to do consulting for Diebold. The Deans have been accused of obstructiveness and evasion by attorneys seeking to recover funds in a pending bankruptcy case. Specifically, when asked to identify monies paid by or due from Diebold Election Systems, they omitted answers.
Depositions, documents, and supporting documentation will be posted on the Black Box Voting Web site this week. These documents include depositions, bankruptcy papers, criminal court records, SEC documents and civil litigation records.
