Conservative radio show host Mark Levin laid out that questions surrounding the security of the Dominion Voting Systems have been raised before the 2020 presidential election.
“Why can’t litigants get access to the data from a company that PBS, NBC, and the NYT previously questioned, which is specifically not used in Canada, and has original ties to the Venezuelan regime and Hugo Chavez,” Levin tweeted Thursday.
1. Actually, Brit, here’s a better question. Why can’t litigants get access to the data from a company that PBS, NBC, and the NYT previously questioned, which is specifically not used in Canada, and has original ties to the Venezuelan regime and Hugo Chavez. https://t.co/hHHM035QaK

His comments were in response to Fox News’s Brit Hume sharing a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that was titled, “President Trump blames the election result on Dominion’s systems. Where’s the evidence?”
Levin continued, “I didn’t make any of this up. Serious questions about the reliability of this system, and its lack of security measures to prevent manipulation, were raised from earlier media reports, as recently as October 26. But the media are now silent.”
“What’s needed is transparency but these government bureaucracies are fighting it. Why raise these concerns about the system before the election but ignore them after the election?” he concluded.

Democratic leaders had raised concerns about Dominion Voting Systems last year, with Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, and Amy Klobuchar sending a series of letters to capital investment groups.
“We have concerns about the spread and effect of private equity investment in many sectors of the economy, including the election technology industry – an integral part of our nation’s democratic process,” the politicians wrote.
“We are particularly concerned that secretive and ‘trouble-plagued companies,’ owned by private equity firms and responsible for manufacturing and maintaining voting machines and other election administration equipment, ‘have long skimped on security in favor of convenience,’ leaving voting systems across the country ‘prone to security problems,’” they continued.
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said this weekend that Dominion Voting Systems should never have been counting the votes.
“Curiously, in the very, very close states where Trump lost by less than 1%, it’s those machines that are being used,” Giuliani said. “Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia use those machines. Those machines should not be used in any American election. Again, they’re foreign machines.
“Dominion was counting the votes in 29 states,” Giuliani said. “Dominion shouldn’t be counting the votes anywhere. Dominion, when you look into it with just a little bit of investigation, you find out that Dominion uses a software, Smartmatic, which is a company that goes back to 2004.”
He added, “It looks like it is a Canadian company. It actually is a company owned by two Venezuelans that’s been in business for about 20 years and been disqualified in so many places it would make your head spin.”
