Here's an early mnr dig from November on ClearVote - currently used in Seattle/King Co (same place Jeffrey Dean got his start- - where'd they go from there?)

Seems to be part of ClearBallot, but just did this one dig so far.

At the time, this company was pretty obscure but its name has come up several times since, i'm sure there's more material to be found on it now. The changes of these "Clear" companies being 'clean' seem slim.

ClearVote - What is it?

Short answer: one of the products of ClearBallot, the parent company.

ClearVote is part of the new "Clear - EVERYTHING" bundle:

ClearDesign = browser-based user interface

ClearAccess = ballot marking system

ClearCast = optical scan voting system

ClearCount = browser-based central count tabulation system

ClearAudit = automated audit solution

So if you a customer, looks like you can use it to collect all the votes and then self-audit what you did.

(No stone left unturned!)

What is ClearBallot?

"We create technology that empowers our customers to improve democracy"

https://clearballot.com/about-us

Sounds just great, doesn't it??

If you're looking for specifics, forget it. No info on

• owner(s)

• date founded

• company headquarters

• investors

They do provide names of the 'leadership team', including CEO Bob Hoyt, VP of Engr Will Crumbley, and Keir Holman, VP of Tech services. Strangely, the former CEO, Jordan Esten, is listed LAST - as "board member. But you have to join LinkedIn to get any more info.

From qresear.ch so far (searched on "clearballot" :

Same generic stuff. One anons speaks of Dominion controlling Clarity elections software. "Clarity" associated with "Clear"? Sounds plausible but needs a dig. https://source.opennews.org/articles/introducing-clarify/

There were a few other digs, but little info. REALLY hard to find anything substantive.

Bloomberg does fill in a few blanks:

Company address: 7 Water Street Suite 7, Boston (see CAP)

This is the Winthrop Bldg - other tenants Land Trust Alliance/Fidelity Foundation, Millenium Partners Mgmt LLC, 4 Sight Technology, Pembroke Real Estate Inc, Ncrypted Cloud, Forest Cap Partners, M Da Partners, Laura Palumbo.

Phone (see cap)

Company Founded: 8-24-2009

https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/1524087D:US

Interesting that the company was founded 11 years ago - since it focuses on how 'new' it is.

"Clear" Voting Systems - July 2021 DIG from Qresear.ch

"clearballot" - 30 results, 6 are from original MNR dig.

Qresearch digs:

#11569589 #14771 Nov 11 2020

• WAnon found digg on illegal voting machines used by State of WAnon

• they're used for mail-in voting

• clearballot is used for vote counting in King County (Seattle), and likely other states. Vote rigging is highly likely, given that ever since the State of Washington went to 'all mail-in-ballots' in 2005, there has never been a Republican governor in that time. It's all been Democrats, and the same with the Attorney General.

>>>/comms/28112

there was a 'writ of mandamus' (an order to correct the chain of custody for voting) filed back in 2018.against Kim Wyman, the Secretary of State for the State of Washington.

Kim Wyman is a Deep State Operative, having been in the 'Aspen Institute' (A George Soros' funded organization)

#11573228 at 2020-11-10 #14776

All of Clear Ballot's certified products operate on a closed and isolated wired network, never attached to modems, the Internet, WiFi, or Bluetooth.Network traffic is encrypted using algorithms recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

First red flag for me here: NIST? same guys who think two buildings each a quarter of a mile high will merely collapse into their own footsteps?

Clear Ballot's visual verification technology provides election officials with the ability to validate voter intent and digitally adjudicate unreadable ballots by highlighting discrepancies and stray marks, including overvotes and undervotes.

2nd red flag: provides election officials with the ability to validate voter intent and digitally adjudicate

I still cannot find their voting tabulation method. I suppose one would have to inquire and that, too, I suspect is by design.

But hey, what do I know?

Edwin Barkley Smith is a Central Character in Election Fraud

OP Anon's dig is very incomplete, and misleading in this respect when he said:

>ed smith with the same phone number runs a cyber corona virus web site called NCTA

https://www.ntca.org/member-services/coronavirus-resource-center/solution-providers/ppe-providers

If OP Anon had bothered to scroll down on the ntca web page, he would have seen that Ed Smith is the contact person of Smartmatic which uses and recommends NTCA PPE products. Other than a recommendation for their products, Smartmatic has nothing to do

with NTCA.

[REALLY????]

Okay, with that out of the way, the phone number 720-849-1775 is a Mead, Colorado number, with Edwin Barkley Smith the user. He lives with his wife Diane Wooley Smith at an address there, and his CV is as follows:

Edwin Smith was an software engineer for Rockwell before he was hired by Sequoia Voting Systems Dec. 4, 2010, then served in subsequent positions in other companies of that same group, Dominion, Clear Ballot, and Smartmatic. Presumably, which hat he wears just depends on which subsidiary was contracted to what State or County.

These companies are all the same, just the names have changed; perhaps they even submitted competitive bids to States/Counties to give a luster of legitimacy to the selection process.

His duties as Quality Control and Certification mean he ensures that the clients get the best product for their needs, which in this case, mean they get the election results they want.

The address given asClear Ballot Group, 7 Water St, Boston, MA is a mail drop; the address is a business called Global Pack Ship, and 7 Water St, Suite 7 is the drop, not a physical address for Clear Ballot Group.

The Clear Ballot Group says that their DUNS number is 833087401, but Dun and Bradstreet never heard of the company, at least by that name. Anons are invited to dig into this, I can't find anything else beyond that number, whether it's fake, or under another name.

'''In sum,Edwin Barkley Smith is a VIP in this election fuckery, has IT skills needed to perform fuckery, and likely liable for fraud perpetrated on the SoS of Washington, misrepresenting what company is contracting to the State of Washington, as Clear Ballot

Group is a shell company fronting, via a mail drop in Boston, for Smartmatic/Dominion/Sequoia.'''

No doubt the SoS of Washington, Kim Dobbs Wyman knows all this, but maybe gets a kickback for employing Clear Ballot Group.

Interestingly,;;; Kim's previous job before SoS was Manager of the Thurston County, Washington Voter Registration Office;;;, kinda like the DS in Washington State picked her to run for SoS because of her past associations and skills. She knows how to game the system.

I recommend Anons dig into the clearballot.com website, it's hilarious with it's bragging about how transparent and effective it is at producing good election results.CEO Bob Hoyt, BTW - dig into him

US Global Services Director at Smartmatic

https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-smith-785a791

Describes a specific project in which he has been involved:

Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project.

About:

I've never shied away from a challenge. In mid-2018 I left a good job where I stood atop the intersection of the development community and the sales/service/finance community (a place at a start up that I truly enjoyed, learned a lot, and was well respected) to join the most innovative, challenging, and largest elections project in the history of the United States: the Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project. At a baseline value of $212 million with additions of over $80 million, VSAP exceeds anything done before at the County level of US elections by 10X. You should read about it at https://vsap.lavote.net/. I took over as Service Delivery Manager on the project. Although this meant that I was assigned management of the Help Desk, aspects of the Implementation and other areas of accountability, what it really meant is that I got to dive into a number of project areas, roll up my sleeves and spend the days leading up to the election working as anything from an electronic pollbook programmer, a parking lot attendant for 300 vans and trucks, and a roving voting machine technician. The hours were long, 4:30 AM to 11:30 PM was the norm for weeks, but I was exactly where I was meant to be. …and I was able to juggle my Service Delivery “assigned duties” while dealing with those election preparation emergencies.

People tell me that my restless desire to “get dirty”, to walk the shop floor daily and get to know the people and process, along with an innate ability to exude calmness in the face of ugly situations are some of my strengths. My ability to explain to laypersons deep technical and business concepts is also a strength. Getting the job done with no excuses while encouraging others to thrive, make mistakes, and always maintain their dignity and spirit is important to me. The type of persons I find most valuable: someone who focuses on accountability, communicates 360, is trainable, and does not engage in political, diffusive, or divisive efforts. Every company and its people have a finite amount of energy. Focusing that energy is key to success. Mentoring others is also important; and I am proud of how many people I have worked with over the years who continue to stay in touch.

Most of my experience has been at smaller companies or new divisions of larger companies. I have helped all to find a place in the market, knock out incumbents, differentiate their offerings and exceed in getting more than their fair share of those markets.

Found Ed Smith at Smartmatic - where he STILL appears to be employed (so where is he - Smartmatic or ClearBallot?):

Director - Certification

Edwin “Ed” Smith began working in the elections industry in 2001, leading at various times Operations, Hardware Development, Product Management, QA, and Manufacturing.

As a longtime elections veteran, he has developed and implemented corporate level strategies for market entry and share enhancement. With over 80 State and ten federal voting system certifications under his belt, Ed is seen as an expert in system certification, compliance and security.

Ed participates on the Elections Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council of the Department of Homeland Security representing Smartmatic.

Prior to entering elections he held leadership positions in electronics manufacturing operations and quality management.

https://www.smartmatic.com/us/about/leadership/detail/edwin-smith/

Ed participates on the Elections Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council of the Department of Homeland Security representing Smartmatic.

''Well that's interesting.'

Same group that put out THIS stmt claiming "no election fraud" in 2020?

“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history...There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.''

https://www.cisa.gov/news/2020/11/12/joint-statement-elections-infrastructure-government-coordinating-council-election

Wonder what role Ed plays there?

Here's the puff piece put out when he was appointed:

Smartmatic Executive Elected to the Executive Committee of the DHS Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council

https://www.smartmatic.com/us/media/article/smartmatic-executive-elected-to-the-executive-committee-of-the-dhs-election-infrastructure-sector-coordinating-council/

“This is an incredible opportunity to apply my experiences from elections around the country to help US voting jurisdictions build secure and accessible voting infrastructure,” said Smith, who was elected to the Executive Committee at a meeting of the DHS Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council.

At this year’s NASS conference at the Fairmont in Washington, D.C., Smartmatic was able to showcase its advanced election technology and present its latest voting machine, the Premium to attendees including 36 Secretaries of State and more than 300 senior state government staff and private sector representatives.

The Premium represents the latest advances in election systems technology from Smartmatic’s vaunted research and development department. This voting machine addresses the needs of the 1 in 6 voters who are disabled; provides for Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trails; includes secure protocols and encryption to protect against any attempts at vote tampering and much more.

Additionally, in multiple DHS meetings and a United States Intelligence Community briefing, company representatives shared their global experiences in cybersecurity and election administration.

With its advanced election systems, Smartmatic is positioned to help U.S. voting jurisdictions upgrade their voting machines, most which are more than 10 years old, to be more secure, auditable and accessible.

Last but not least (for now):

Short dig on this project Ed Smith and Smartmatic are involved in,

Los Angeles Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project

Los Angeles County—Voting Solutions for All People

November 11, 2020

The ballot marking devices in Los Angeles County’s new Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) system came through the California extended election period with flying colors.

Under the specter of the coronavirus pandemic, LA still saw an estimated 852,000 voters turn out to cast their votes in person. More than half of those who voted in-person cast ballots early during the County’s 11-day window. The county deployed almost 20,000 ballot marking devices (BMDs) to nearly 800 vote centers across the county. LA is America’s largest election jurisdiction with more than 5.8 million registered voters. Smartmatic provided the following:

• Engineered and manufactured the BMD hardware

• Programmed and installed the BMD software

-Led the California certification process

• Created the backend software to manage the devices

• Provided systems integration services

• Built the VSAP operations center

• Handled logistics and setup/breakdown of the vote centers

• Oversaw real-time data management for deployment

• Supplied Help Desk services on Election Day

Smartmatic had, at times, as many as 200 staffers supporting the project.....

>>69189

So Smartmatic led the Cali vote certification process?

That sounds spiffy, doesn't it?

There's so much more to dig on here, many unanswered questions remain.
