Check your Ballots - Funny Business starting

It begins: WATCH as reports already document voting machines flipping votes!

Early voting for the 2024 presidential race already has started in multiple states, and that means reports of voting machines flipping votes from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris already have begun arriving.

It's a complaint that has surfaced in multiple elections already, voters choosing on screen the Republican candidate, but the machine recording it as a vote for the Democrat, a scenario that often is difficult to document because of the inability to take screen shots of a voting machine and more.

Voting-machine makers continue to stand by the functioning of their devices. But multiple reports already have been documented in this election.

The report noted he "was notified that voters who selected Trump on the screen of the voting machine were seeing Kamala Harris on the final printed ballot."

Perhaps Smartmatic wasn't too Smart Afterall

Roger Piñate

Smartmatic President Indicted on Bribery and Money Laundering Charges

A federal grand jury in South Florida on Thursday indicted Venezuelan-American executive Roger Piñate, founder and president of the voting-machine company Smartmatic, on charges of involving a bribery and money-laundering scheme used to secure elections contracts in the Philippines.

According to federal prosecutors Piñate, 49, a Boca Ratón resident, along with Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, of Davie, and others others were involved in the payment of a $1 million in bribes to the former chairman of the Philippines’ Commission on Elections, Juan Andres Donato Bautista.

“These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections and to secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value added tax payments,” the U.S. Justice Department said in a press release.

I wonder if this will help Fox News in the Smartmatic’s $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against them over its airing of 2020 election "lies," which alleges executives at the right-wing cable channel’s parent company knew it was spreading false claims. But were they?

If Smartmatic, a multinational company that builds and implements electronic voting system did it in the Phillippines, why is it impossible to believe they didn't do it during the 2020 Election right here in the U.S.A. or even manipulate the machines? Just a question.

Judge says "significant flaws" in Georgia's voting machines

Judge Issues Huge Decision on Georgia Voting Machines

The smoke of controversy is thickening around Georgia’s voting machines. In a groundbreaking decision that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, District Court Judge Amy Totenberg has ruled that there is sufficient cause to believe that these electronic voting machines could have significant flaws.

In an era where election integrity is under the microscope, this ruling strikes a resounding blow to those who have dismissed concerns about Georgia’s voting system as nothing more than “conspiracy theories”. Totenberg’s decision reveals that some of the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists have lent their expertise to support the plaintiffs’ case.

The Court has highlighted several objections to the 2020 election. These include the absence of a paper voting trail on the DREs, outdated operating systems on several voting machines, and software so antiquated that its manufacturers no longer offer security patches or support. This revelation is akin to discovering that the vault in your bank is secured with a rusty padlock from the last century!

Smartmatic facing Money Laundering chages

Smartmatic Voting Company Implicated in Massive Scandal, DOJ Steps In

Voting tech company ‘Smartmatic’ has just come under fire, as new details have emerged on a huge controversy. The company is now facing money laundering charges from the Department of Justice (DOJ) against four executives. Now, former Filipino election official Andres Bautista has been accused of being involved in a bribery scheme with Smartmatic.

These individuals are accused of transferring $4 million to former Filipino election official Andres Bautista “in violation of US money laundering laws.”

It is reported that Bautista was given $199 million in contracts for almost 100,000 voting machines and tabulation services for Philippine Presidential elections back in 2016.

According to the Justice Department filing, Smartmatic executives allegedly used "slush funds," "fake contracts," and fake email accounts to take in bribes under the code word "salsa."

This drama only intensifies when Fox News and other associates were sued by Smartmatic itself over such accusations made against them during the aftermath of the 2020 presidential race.

And Smartmatic has sued everyone: Newsmax, Fox News, OAN, several individual Fox hosts, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, and others.
