Most of the U.S. #votingequipment market now leans Republican.

A Republican bought out #DominionVoting and renamed it Liberty Vote, and ES&S (the largest vendor) has Republican leanings (management has always been a bit shadowy but it has GOP ties).

This is at least 80% of the market.

Trump allies breach U.S. voting systems in search of 'evidence' Trump supporters convinced ballot machines were compromised in 2020 are now taking the law into their own hands - and compromising voting systems themselves.

“… In another Michigan case, a Republican activist impersonated an official from a made-up government agency in a plot to seize voting equipment.”

5/9 The order also instructs the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission to amend voter registration forms and rescind certification of voting equipment that doesn't meet Trump's standards—despite the EAC being established by Congress as an independent agency.

The screenshot contains this quote via KUT (Austin's NPR affiliate) "At the time, the law said voted ballots had to be kept private for 22 months after an election. But in 2022, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released a non-binding legal opinion advising county officials to release voted ballots as soon as they are counted, while redacting any information that could identify the voter. After at least three counties challenged Paxton’s advice in court, the Texas Legislature rewrote the law to allow public access to ballot images, cast-vote records, and the original voted ballot just 61 days after an election. In the past three years, the requests for election records have become more expansive, election officials said. Activists are now requesting copies of voting equipment manuals, data from election servers, and other information produced by voting equipment, including electronic poll books used to check in voters at polling locations."

Please refer to the quoted KUT portion in the attached screenshot.
