Excellent forensic reporting. The simple solution is to ban all electronic voting machines in America. Paper ballots only, independently verified, hand counted with independent count verification. All ballots must never leave the chain of custody. Of course none of this will ever happen, especially in blue States.

My God Em, that was a good one. Scary shit.

Excellent journalism.

So when liberals complain about Diebold, it's ok. When conservatives complain about Dominion, it's legally actionable. Of course.

Thanks for linking to Black Box Voting. The entire website is excellent reading. Anyone who thinks the voting machines aren't being used for vote fraud should read Bev's material.

This trail is too hard. I have a headache from reading it twice. It's like the Abbott and Costello routine "Who's On First Base" but that was at least funny.

Thanks for sharing this history. I'm going to take some aspirin now.

"Election Day is now dominated by a handful of secretive corporations with interlocking ownership, strong partisan ties to the "far right", and executives who revolve among them like beans in a shell game." Was "far right" a typo? Otherwise, great article, interesting to know where it all came from. Praying we can get rid of the machines before our country is completely destroyed.

“Election Day is now dominated by a handful of secretive corporations with interlocking ownership, strong partisan ties to the far right, and executives who revolve among them like beans in a shell game.” If this is true why do the election cheats seems to favor democrats? Also, California might have banned Diebold touch screen voting machines but we have others in use here now. However, we are doing everything possible to get rid of all voting and tabulating machines before the 2024 election.

Great research! Once you see what lurks

behind the curtain, you can’t un-see it.

More and more folks are learning that fair elections are incompatible with black box voting, and blatant cases of massive, voter fraud, like the Arizona governor’s race,

make it impossible to ignore.

Once again, stellar work and research, Emerald. Shell games by terrible, awful, crooks continue even today! More than ever, we need to return to PAPER BALLOTS. Add VOTER ID. Throw away the machines. Our founding fathers would want us to return to simpler methods. Thank you for your meticulous job! Kudos!

I am so grateful to you for your digging and reporting what you find. I love Tucker and when he was ripped off the air I said at least we still have Emerald to keep us informed of the truth!

Time to awaken to reality! As Mark Twain famously said: "If voting mattered, they wouldn't let you do it!"

I lived in Omaha for decades, and did not know ANY of this! (Also had a very good friend who spent most of his career at Kiewit...he doesn't know any of this either, I don't believe!)
