Georgia officials awarded a contract for 30,000 new voting machines to Dominion Voting on Monday, scrapping the state’s 17-year-old electronic voting equipment and replacing it with touchscreens that print out paper ballots.
The $107 million contract will switch Georgia from its longtime elections company, Election Systems & Software, following complaints about malfunctioning machines and unverifiable results during the November midterm election.

One of Dominion’s lobbyists, Jared Thomas, has worked on Kemp’s political campaigns since he first won a state Senate seat in 2002. He also worked previously for Kemp in the Secretary of State’s Office. Another Dominion lobbyist, Barry Herron, was vice president of Diebold Election Systems, the company that originally sold Georgia its electronic voting machines in 2002.

Now we get to the source of why Kemp is so far nixing a full audit of the ballots. He is in tight with the Dominion lobbyists.
Article was dated July 30, 2019.
Sydney Powell tweeted something that looks like the Kraken.
Unfortunately she tweeted it to a large number of MAGA friends. And it resides on a website that apparently can’t handle the traffic.
If we had a media, they would confront Kemp about this charge that he is a crook.
Yep! Kemp and Raffensberger want to put this baby to bed as quickly as they can.
Just watching a show on The First news channel and he showed an NBC report where white hat hackers ripped on Dominion machines in 2019. Then he showed a PBS show doing the same. Texas SOS examiners denied certification of Dominion machines three times, twice in 2019.
Common sense demands an audited hand count of ballots, all undocumentable electronic votes thrown out!
that why he didnt give doug collins that seat???
Bottom line it looks like it is the Dominion lobbyists that have vetoed a FULL audit of the Georgia ballots via their puppet governor.
Trump needs to work on Kemp. Kemp is not establishment in my opinion and want to be as pro-Trump as he can be with some officials being establishment and some campaign staff. He needs to get Kemp to contact officials and make this happen. I dont think people that are pro establishment campaign staff in the ga gop understand what is at state, but I think Kemp sees it.
collins could have won that seat and there would be but the one runoff.
these people... they are all after power and money... and they lose track of decency and country.
Kemp right now appears to be a Dominion tool. And the Dominion lobbyists are now vetoing any FULL audit of the GA ballots.
Thats more the SOS than Kemp. Trump needs to leverage Kemp and any friends he can use to contact those in the GA Legislature.
Dominion is DESPERATE to prevent a full audit of the GA ballots. That is why they have pressured their tool, Kemp, via the lobbyists not to allow it.
Yes, there is some thought that Kelly Loeffler might be somewhat corrupt as well....
That sure is the way it looks to me. I am suspicious that there were kick-backs and the governor and SOS are desperate they don’t come to light.
“”””The $107 million contract will switch Georgia from its longtime elections company, Election Systems & Software, following complaints about malfunctioning machines and unverifiable results during the November midterm election”””
VERY INTERESTING!!!!
Here in Florida 49 of our 67 counties use Election Systems & Software.
And I might note that FLORIDA had no problems immediately processing and counting more than 11 million votes on Nov 3.
Why do I suspect the reason for the change is not the Election Systems & Software machines, but it is the grossly incompetent people in GEORGIA running the voting systems.
And the gross incompetency starts at the top with Gov Kemp.
Just to be accurate this story was published on July 30, 2019
BY MARK NIESSE, THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION / JULY 30, 2019
More damning information from the same source:
https://www.govtech.com/dc/GA-Panel-Chooses-Voting-Machines-Tied-to-New-Govs-Deputy.html
The Secure, Accessible & Fair Elections (SAFE) Commission voted 13-3 to recommend a voting system with touchscreens and printers, called ballot-marking devices, that would cost taxpayers well over $100 million. A system using paper ballots bubbled in with a pen would cost around $30 million.
Except for election officials and lobbyists, every voter who made public comments Thursday supported hand-marked paper ballots.
“””The $107 million contract will switch Georgia from its longtime elections company, Election Systems & Software, following complaints about malfunctioning machines and unverifiable results during the November midterm election”””
Let me also add.
Why should states that accurately processed and counted the votes on in a national election on Nov 3 be penalized because some states messed up their voting processes?
In my mind this issue falls under the Equal Protection of the Laws in the 14th Amendment and is something the Supreme Court can address.
