Remember when left wingers claimed voting machines were switching votes or were insecure?
Among other claims left wingers made in the past that elections were not safe?
As I’ve said before, no vote switching at any point in the chain was required to pull off a massive fraud in 2020. Plenty enough can be done with stolen ballots, misdirected ballots, multiple registrations for one person, fake registrations, buying ballots, etc. But it’s interesting to look back on instances where left wingers were pointing out how votes were apparently switched and/or voting machines were insecure.
In December of 2019, three democrat senators including Fauxcahontas claimed that the voting machine companies threatened the integrity of elections:
In August of 2017, CNN watched some hackers breaking into election machines and discussing the machines’ vulnerabilities. One of Obama’s former cronies set up the event, and of course the gist was that Trump’s win in 2016 was illegitimate. And of course, the “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative was invoked:
In December of 2019, NBC “News” cast doubts on voting machines, and again referred to “Russia’s interference in the 2016 election”:
Watch the video at that link to see just how inquisitive left wing “news” organizations can be when they’re looking for something that fits their narrative. Then try to imagine what could have been revealed to so many more people about the 2020 election if the mainstream media were not silenced by Biden being named the winner.
Another CNN video, this one from August of 2016. Again it features hackers, and of course again “Russia!!!” is mentioned. Note how the Symantec employee says he could insert 400 or so votes in a couple minutes without poll workers suspecting anything:

Going all the way back to 2006, CNN had another video report entitled “Democracy At Risk”. It may have been part of a series, but in any event it establishes the connections between Smartmatic Group (voting machines), Hugo Chavez and other Venezuelans, and Sequoia Voting Systems in California. It goes on to imply that Chavez stole the election, which may have been his 2nd for president:

In June of 2010 and updated in December of 2017, far left HuffPo expanded on the CNN report showing the connections between Chavez, Smartmatic, Sequoia, and finally Dominion. Dominion is actually the focus of the article:

There is a press release from Dominion linked at that page, but HuffPo and their left wing researcher buddy Brad say Dominion is lying:
Whose IP Is It Anyway?
There are a few more points concerning Dominion's purchase of Sequoia worth flagging here for now. The first, and perhaps most disturbing, concerns the following announcement in Dominion's press release upon the purchase of Sequoia [emphasis added]:
As part of the transaction, Dominion has acquired Sequoia's inventory and all intellectual property, including software, firmware and hardware, for Sequoia's precinct and central count optical scan and DRE voting solutions, including BPS, WinEDS, Edge, Edge2, Advantage, Insight, InsightPlus and 400C systems.
That statement is an out-and-out lie -- one which continues to propagate a years-long deception of the public, the media and election officials by Sequoia themselves.
As long time readers of The BRAD BLOG will recall, the matter of the true ownership of the intellectual property (IP) of Sequoia's voting systems wasn't at all what the company had represented to the public, to media, to election official customers, and even in courts of law.
As part of a detailed investigative exposé series in 2008, as we broke the story of Hart Intercivic's quietly attempted hostile takeover of Sequoia, we revealed the fact that -- despite representations to the contrary, possibly even to U.S. government investigators -- the IP for the vast-majority/near-entirety of Sequoia's voting systems was actually secretly owned by the Hugo Chavez-tied, Venezuelan-based firm, Smartmatic.
There’s more key info at the HuffPo link, but between the press release about the purchase and the HuffPo story, you have a rock solid debunking of numerous left wing “fact checks” about Dominion as well as statements made (under oath?) by Dominion’s CEO. Does anybody know if Dominion is suing the HuffPo???
So after watching all the videos and reading the reporting at the links, compare and contrast how the left wing media’s tune changed 180 degrees after the 2020 election. It’s quite revealing.
