Following Bush v. Gore many states, including Colorado, rushed to adopt electronic voting machines so the "hanging chads" images broadcast from Florida wouldn't be replicated there. "New technology" would fix that, if only we put our trust in it.
I remember sitting in the public hearings on election reform in the Colorado legislature then. I remember seeing the little old ladies coming in to testify about the need to maintain our paper ballot system, warning that electronic voting machines were prone to tampering with election results, would result in loss of trust in election integrity. They were countered by a large team of highly paid, highly respected lobbyists and special interests, leadership of both state parties defended the switch claiming there was nothing to fear, machines would provide the safest, most secure elections, anti-tampering protocols would be adhered to, we should trust them.
Diebold was the biggest provider of the machines at the time. Diebold had been linked to Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and the stolen elections there that stole democracy from the Venezuelan people. The highly paid, highly respected lobbyists and special interests and leadership of both state parties all said in one voice that the Diebold connection to Chavez was false, that the stories of stolen elections were wild conspiracy theories.
Legislators and most observers in the public hearings were left with the impression that the little old ladies pleading to maintain election integrity by rejecting the machines were relics of another time who technology had passed by. Technology was the way of the future, and the only way to avoid "hanging chads" chaos in future elections. Conventional wisdom became machine skeptics were conspiracy loons.
And the reforms passed, Colorado became a leader and the epicenter of electronic voting systems. Diebold was bought and sold many times since, changed names, Premier Election Systems, Election Systems and Software and eventually, Dominion. Headquartered in Colorado. It's former Vice President, Eric Coomer, at the center of the 2020 electronic voting irregularities, began Dominion's aggressive lawfare attacks on media corporations and public figures who spoke up about election fraud before he was eventually let go. His affiliation with and many public proclamations of support for Antifa and their political violence became too much to defend.
But the template for election fraud through machine manipulation that Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez rode into power on got its start in the United States in Colorado. In those hearings I remember sitting in on. When the warnings of little old ladies were dismissed by younger, arrogant know-it-alls, prodded on by the most powerful special interests that control the leadership of both parties. I saw its genesis, up close and personal. And remember the significance of it to this day.
Good work! What may be most scary of all is that it appears those in control are operating in public view. They have zero concern for the election even appearing to be honest.
Hiya Brian. It is difficult to know what others know and remember. I don't know if it is important in this instance but I want to confirm my info is correct and common knowledge:
Geneice Mathews. Manager, Voter Services at Jefferson County Colorado.
Geneice Matthews was a Senior Manager, Product at Dominion Voting Systems based in Denver, Colorado.
and she holds several patents for election related inventions. I believe they all have to do with machines reading ballots with an optical scanner and are part of an adjudication module in Dominion programming code.. She, Eric Coomer others are listed as inventers https://patents.justia.com/inventor/geneice-mathews
Could the folks (Lady Draza & Lone Raccoon) who came up with the idea to plot the reported results by time stamp share a graph of what a healthy election, "plotted results," graph looks like? I think a side by side picture would make the cheating clear.
