If you read the history of "DOMINION" voting machine you will find it goes back a 2004 recall election in Venezuela in 2004. Then Dictator Hugo Chavez was in trouble politically and had a small group of Venezuelan computer engineers develop an electronic voting system for him that could be rigged to win him the election. The voting system was called "Smartmatic" and it delivered a win for Chavez that contradicted the predictions of the voting polls conducted shortly before election day. Venezuela used the "Smartmatic" voting system for the next 18 elections; Hugo Chavez won all the subsequent national polls until his death in 2013. Chavez was replaced as President by his protege, Nicolas Maduro. In 2017, President Maduro won a controversial election for a National Constituent Assembly which gave the socialist dictator effectively limitless power. "Smartmatic" voting machines had been used at the election, and was clear that they had been used to manipulate voting figures to Maduro's advantage.
I wondered - given the fact everyone knows these machines are highly vulnerable to hacking and other types of illegal manipulation - will they be used in the Nov 8th mid-term elections this year ? I did a search to see if they will be used in any US states and if so which ones ? I searched around for ages and came up empty-handed. Just as I was about to give up I found this....

In a nutshell, the guy who wrote this is an expert in Electronic Voting Machines (EMV) and he identified a shit-load of security, hacking vulnerabiliry and other problemss the current (2022) version of the Dominion electronic voting machine still has.
It also implies that "Dominion" machines will be used in the same 28 or so states that they were in 2020.
That means if you live in a voting district where you have to use a "Dominion" machine to cast your ballot, you'll have no idea whatsoever whether your vote processed and/or counted accurately. If you market your ballot "Republican", malware in the machine could flip it into 5 votes for the "Democrats - and you'd be none the wiser, and the fraud would never be detected in any audit.
Can someone explain to me why it is "Dominion Voting Systems" are still being used in American elections. I don't geddit ?
