RE: Dominion Voting Systems
\nThis company was acquired on 7\/17\/2018 by Staple Street Capital – who has a member of their Executive Board, William Kennard, who was the Ambassador to the EU under the Obama administration and later became Chairman of the FCC during that same administration.<\/strong><\/em>
\nStaple Street Capital also has retained the lobbying of Brownstein, Hyatt et al.<\/strong><\/em>
\nTheir lobbying was only focused in one specific area: Lobbying the Department of Homeland Security in both 2019 and 2020.<\/strong><\/em>
\nLet’s look at the lobbyists employed:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1) Nadeam Elshami<\/strong><\/em>
\nMr. Elshami was Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff – leaving on 9\/17\/2017 to pursue lobbying.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2) Brian McKeon<\/strong><\/em>
\nWas Acting Chief of Staff for Senator Jeanne Shaheen.<\/strong><\/em>
\nWas Senior Counsel for Barbara Boxer.<\/strong><\/em>
\nWas Deputy Voter Protection Director to “Obama for America”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3) Zachary Pfister<\/strong><\/em>
\nWas Chief Liaison to House Democrats<\/strong><\/em>
\nWas on the Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

No do you all see why there are problems?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This software is used in 30 states.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Their US headquarters is in Denver, Colorado.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
