Who is stealing American elections?
Post here info on the individuals, groups and governments bent on stealing elections here in America and the world around.
Let's see if we can put together the puzzle pieces and see who's behind the greatest fraud of all time.
In November 2020, several of us dug on GEMS - the software developed to permit fractionalized voting detailed here:

This chart identifies the key players and events involving GEMS.
Here's the fraction magic video on YT:
Fraction Magic - Detailed Vote Rigging Demonstration
Bev Harris
2016
A real-time demo of the most devastating election theft mechanism yet found, with context and explanation. (See also: Jordan Robertson of Bloomberg Business analyzes Fraction Magic in its Cyber Security Segment: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...
and Cover Story in Bloomberg Businessweek https://www.bloomberg.com/features/20... )
This demonstration uses a real voting system and real vote databases and takes place in seconds across multiple jurisdictions. Over 5000 subcontractors and middlemen have the access to perform this for any or all clients. It can give contract signing authority to whoever the user chooses. All political power can be converted to the hands of a few anonymous subcontractors.
It's a product. It's scaleable. It learns its environment and can adjust to any political environment, any demographic. It runs silently, invisibly, and can produce plausible results that really pass for the real thing.

Fraction Magic – Part 1: Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers
By Bev Harris, May 12, 2016
This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States. The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds.
gems-usaGEMS vote-counting systems are and have been operated under five trade names:
Global Election Systems
Diebold Election Systems
Premier Election Systems
Dominion Voting Systems
Election Systems & Software
(in addition to a number of private regional subcontractors)
At the time of this writing, this system is used in [many states]. It is also used in Canada. SEE CAP
Fraction Magic – Part 1
con't.
Fractionalized vote:
Instead of “1” the vote is allowed to be 1/2, or 1+7/8, or any other value that is not a whole number.
What fractionalized votes can do:
They allow “weighting” of races.....
GEMS fractionalizes votes in three places:
The “Summary” vote tally, which provides overall election totals for each race on Election Night
The “Statement of Votes Cast”, which provides detailed results by precinct and voting method (ie. Polling, absentee, early, provisional)
The “undervote” count
Fractionalizing the votes which create the Summary Results allows alteration of Election Night Web results and results sent to the Secretary of State, as well as results available at and local election officials.
Fractionalizing the “Statement of Votes Cast” allows an extraordinary amount of precision, enabling alteration of results by specific voting machine, absentee batch, or precinct. Vote results can be altered for polling places in predominantly Black neighborhoods, and can parse out precincts within a mixed batch of early or absentee votes.
Fractionalizing the undervote category allows reallocation of valid votes into undervotes.
Fractions in results reports are not visible.Votes containing decimals are reported as whole numbers unless specifically instructed to reveal decimals (which is not the default setting)....
Source code: Instructions to treat votes as decimal values instead of whole numbers are inserted multiple times in the GEMS source code itself; thus, this feature cannot have been created by accident.

Diebold Election Systems/Premier (previously called “Global Election Systems”)
Diebold entered the voting machine business with its 2002 acquisition of Global Election Systems, a company whose Senior VP (programmer jeffrey dean) was a CONVICTED FELON who had served time for sophisticated crimes involving "COMPUTER TAMPERING".
Global brought on dean shortly before the 2000 election. A few months later, it hired a convicted drug trafficker - who dean met in prison - to oversee punch card printing.
Diebold told the AP that dean left the company in 2002.
But [Beverly] Harris obtained dean's court file, which included internal Diebold memos showing that dean remained as a Diebold consultant.
According to Wired, dean "wrote & maintained...code used to count hundreds of thousands of votes."
dean also programmed the GEMS central tabulator system, which counted one third of the votes in 37 states in 2004…….
Because elected officials and news organizations never followed up on dean's whereabouts, we can only speculate as to when (if at all) dean's relationship with the company ended.
SO: the person responsible for GEMS was
Jeffrey Dean-
a CONVICTED FELON whose ongoing role remains a mystery.
There is ONE clue that he remained with Diebold a long time:
In 2010, Dominion bought Diebold’s intellectual property rights and warehoused equipment.
But ES&S kept some — perhaps even most — of Diebold’s servicing and maintenance contracts, which is where control of elections would mostly come from.
Note the name of the Dominion spokesperson in this article.

Source code firm Dominion sheds light on voting glitch
By Ina Reformina, ABS-CBN News
May 07 2010 07:32 PM
MANILA, Philippines - A Canada-based software firm who leased the source code for the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines for the May 10 Philippine polls has shed light on the glitch that caused the machines to incorrectly read the ballots.
Sean Dean, product manager of Dominion Voting Systems, said the company only found out about the voting machine glitch during the final testing and sealing of PCOS machines in several municipalities last Monday.
In response to doubts on the integrity of the program and automation system, Dominion said it is staking its name that nobody interfered or had any access in the generation of the program files and configuration process.
"At no point was there any outside party involved in the configuration of the ballots and the election files. It was all done by ourselves and supervised only from a viewing perspective by the Comelec but other than that they didn't have access to the station. They didn't touch it. It was all strictly done by us," he said. ....
Whoever SEAN DEAN is, he has a number of PATENTS together with ERIC COOMER and others.
All seem similar, here's an example:
BALLOT ADJUDICATION IN VOTING SYSTEMS UTILIZING BALLOT IMAGES Publication number: 20150071501
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for adjudicating votes made on voter-marked paper ballots. Voter-marked paper ballots may be scanned to obtain optical image data of the voter-marked paper ballots. The optical image may be analyzed to determine the votes contained in the ballot for tabulation purposes. One or more votes on the ballot may be identified as requiring adjudication by an election official. Adjudication information, according to various embodiments, is appended to the optical images of the voter-marked paper ballots such that the image of the ballot and the image of the adjudication information may be viewed in an optical image. The optical image may be stored in a file format that allows the ballot image and the appended adjudication information to be viewed using readily available image viewers.

Felons Jeffrey Dean, John Elder & King Co Elections
Election Pros Are Cons
Seattle Weekly, 2004
by George Howland Jr.
Two felons have been involved in printing and processing ballots for King County—one of them a convicted embezzler. A voter activist calls this a security breach.
Watchdog Bev Harris fueled a national debate over election integrity.
BEV HARRIS HAS tangled with election bigwigs around the country. Her exposés of shady practices, conflicts of interest, and poor security in both the private and public sectors have helped ignite a national debate over the integrity of the U.S. electoral system. Now the 52-year-old Renton resident is claiming that there are local examples of lax security, too—at the King County Department of Records, Elections, and Licensing Services. She says the elections office has John Elder, a convicted drug dealer, printing ballots and Jeff Dean, a 23-count embezzler, programming software. ...
Elder says he cannot comment due to the policy of his employer, Diebold Election Systems—itself the target, nationwide, for activist scrutiny of its election computer systems. Through a spokesperson, Diebold says it is aware of Elder’s background and sees no problem.
Dean Logan, the King County Director of Records and Elections, confirms that Elder is in a supervisory position with Diebold, which prints and sorts the county’s absentee ballots, but he says Elder’s criminal history is not an issue.
Logan also points out that Dean has not worked as a subcontractor for the county since April 2002, and “I’ve not seen anything to demonstrate that the systems in the past were compromised.” Says Logan: “My greater confidence comes in knowing that the systems we are using today are fully secure.” .....
Before his release [from prison], Dean told prison officials he had secured employment with Postal Services of Washington, in Seattle, which today is known as PSI. For years, the company has sorted and aggregated mail for clients, including ballots for King County Records and Elections.
Dean next shows up in the public record later in 1995, as the general manager for Spectrum Print and Mail Services in Mountlake Terrace, which was founded by his wife three years earlier. In 1998, Spectrum won the contract to print ballots for King County’s new optical-scan voting system, which is in use today. By 1999, Dean was also the point man for implementation of a new software system to manage voter registration in King County. ....
[Bev Harris] says Dean had “24-hour access to the building and the computer room and had direct access to both the personal information in the King County registration database and to the GEMS vote-tabulation program itself.” Harris cites a confidential source for this information.
Logan confirms that Dean had a key to the office door of Records and Elections, inside the King County Administration Building downtown.The GEMS vote tabulation software, which counts ballots in King County, is stored in a room inside the Records and Elections office.....

SUMMARY of Jeffrey Dean DIG
developer of GES software that became GEMS
Global Election Systems (GES) software developed by a guy named Jeffrey Dean around maybe 1999.
He developed voting software for GES out of accounting software. But probably has many backdoors - because he was also a convicted embezzler/hacker who was hired after a four-year prison sentence.
By 2001, had become Senior VP of GES and had 1.6m shares of stock (more than anyone else) - right before the company was sold to Diebold.
Stuck around as a consultant, but always a shadowy figure.
Supposedly, he later parted ways with Diebold and/or Dominion. No one is sure what became of him.
But there is a guy named Sean Dean who worked for Dominion in 2010. Same guy?? Nobody knows.

King Co selects ClearVote/ClearBallot as New Voting System
The new voting system will process ballots five times faster than any other voting system
6-09-2017
BOSTON, MA, July 10, 2017 – Clear Ballot announced today that King County, Washington, which includes the City of Seattle, selected ClearVote™ as its new voting system. King County is the largest jurisdiction in Washington and the 13th largest election jurisdiction in the United States with more than 1.2 million registered voters. The county also is the largest vote-by-mail election jurisdiction.
Since 2012, Clear Ballot has provided the election industry with a modern voting platform that delivers unprecedented security, speed, and transparency. The voting platform includes ClearAudit™, the nation’s first independent, automated audit and ClearVote, a complete, modern voting system. The rapid adoption of both products has made Clear Ballot the fastest-growing election technology provider in the nation. Forty-two percent of registered voters in Washington State will use ClearVote in its August elections. Since becoming certified in Oregon two years ago, 65 percent of registered voters in the state have had their ballots counted on the ClearVote voting system.
....
King County will be the first jurisdiction to use high-performance intelligent scanners from ibml with ClearVote software to process vote-by-mail ballots. The technologies will process ballots five times faster than any other voting system.
“We are excited to update our voting system with the latest technology from Clear Ballot,” said Julie Wise, Director of King County Elections. “ClearVote meets the needs of our growing county and will enable us to process elections with greater efficiency. We’re ready for the future.”
King County’s decision to use the ClearVote system and ibml’s scanners offers a compelling vision for the increasing number of states and counties considering vote-by-mail. King County will set a new bar for election innovation for jurisdictions that want to increase their transparency and efficiency while reducing cost.
Clear Ballot CEO Larry Moore stated, “We are honored to partner with King County to create the highest performing, most transparent voting system in the country. With a sustained ballot scanning capacity of more than 50,000 ballots per hour, the ability to resolve the closest of elections within minutes, and the opportunity to significantly reduce costs through streamlined procedures, King County’s new voting system will be a showcase for every election jurisdiction in the United States.”
About Clear Ballot:

KING CO WASHINGTON
Home to felons responsible for fractionalized voting - which has never been fully exposed or investigated
No investigation was ever done in the early 2000s to determine if there was election fraud, although it looks extremely suspicious
Now the same system is EXCLUSIVELY vote-by-mail with ballot boxes in front of libraries and it other public places.
Given its checkered history and the pivotal role played by two felons 20 years ago, what is going on with elections in present-day King Co?
What are the chances that ClearVote / ClearBallot is really on the up-and-up?
oh-oh
looks like 2020 Gov candidate Loren Culp wasn't too confident about elections throughout the state...but gave up fighting it (for now) when the state pushed back hard.
Loren Culp drops lawsuit alleging election fraud in Washington state
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Loren Culp, the Republican gubernatorial candidate who lost to Gov. Jay Inslee in the 2020 election, has withdrawn a lawsuit against the state alleging widespread election fraud.
The move to drop the suit comes after the state Attorney General's Office threatened legal sanctions against Stephen Pidgeon, Culp's lawyer, for "legally baseless" claims "filed with the improper purpose of undermining confidence in a free and fair election."
[SO THEY THREATENED HIM]
Culp and his lawyer responded in a lengthy live video posted on Culp's Facebook page. He said the AG's office would likely drag this out for years, costing "millions of dollars."
"I don't have that money. I don't feel that it would be right to ask you for that money just to be thrown out by a judge," Culp said.
Official numbers show Inslee, now in his third term as governor, won the election with 56.7% of the total vote, while Culp received 43.3%.
On a Facebook live video with supporters Friday, Culp said that continuing the lawsuit would have cost millions, only to risk it being thrown out and being forced to repay the state’s legal fees.

The GEMS software has been BARELY MENTIONED in discussions of 2020 election fraud so far.
But it did come up recently in a discussion about what happened in the Windham NH forensic audit, which appears to have been hijacked in order to bury allegations of election fraud there.

GEMS "fraction-magic" software was used in New Hampshire election
despite claims to the contrary by shifty operators Harri Hursti & Philip Stark
In 2010, Dominion Voting Systems acquired Sequoia and GEMS software. SEE CAP
GEMS was developed from accounting software that could fractionalize votes by felon Jeffrey Dean (originally called GES).
https://web.archive.org/web/20180203174239/https://medium.com/@jennycohn1/updated-attachment-states-have-bought-voting-machines-from-vendors-controlled-and-funded-by-nation-6597e4dd3e70
GEMS has been used on many different voting machines since 2010.
Bev Harris in Fraction Magic video:
As of 2016, GEMS was installed in 25 states (616 jurisdictions) in a variety of different hardware systems - e.g., Dominion, Hart, ES&S.
"Voting systems that count votes as fractions migrated into other systems...[they] may count as many as 99% of votes in 2016."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fob-AGgZn44
SEE minute 2:34.
GEMS came up in a discussion of Lindell's new lawsuit on The Professor's Record. Discussion also focused on the recent (probably compromised) Windham audit, especially claims made by black hat hacker Harri Hursti.
Participants: David Clements, CannCon, Nick Moseder, Gail Golec, Marylyn Todd, Ken Buculea.
https://t.me/theprofessorsrecord/825
https://rumble.com/vi1jvj-exposing-harri-hurstis-lies-q-and-a-session-with-white-hat-hacker.html
The focus was on the claims of (black hat hacker) Harri Hursti that the machines in NH are so old that they could not have connected to the net. According to the expert white hat hackers in the discussion, this is not true - those old machines in NH could definitely have connected to the internet.
Towards the end of the discussion, GEMS comes up in a discussion about whether there was any internet accessibility. ~ 1hr, 5mins
"Was there potential wifi access?"
Stark and Hursti EXTREMELY triggered by this.
Claimed that the machines have "no hardware". SEE CAP and MP4 CLIP 1.
Why did Hursti dig in? [because election audit was a fraud]
Did the manual have any discussion about net accessibility? Did the machines have modems? They did have ports that could be used to connect to "something else". But the GEMS manual talks about Windows and these machines connecting to the net. ~1:17
7. "Harri will blow a gasket because he says they don't use GEMS in NH." ~1:18. But apparently they DO use GEMS, it's documented. "GEMS is the program they take to use that data and program the memory cards. It's where we believe the malware...may exist" - Gail. SEE MP4 CLIP 2.
8. Given the fact that GEMS has not come up in public discussions since the 2020 election so far, it makes sense that anyone involved in election fraud would want to HIDE this connection.

Other highlights of the GEMS-in-New-Hampshire video:
good breakdown/review on Dennis Montgomery's "Hammer and Scorecard" at ~9 mins. also mentions Amazon's ability to control elections.
we know these systems are all connected to the internet ~12 mins
remote access was embedded as a backdoor into Hammer and Scorecard - when copied by others, was included. ~26 mins
CTCL - change local laws to allow for election fraud ~32 mins
programmers all lived in BELGRADE, Serbia
New Hampshire discussion begins ~38 mins
How VerifiedVoting (Mark Lindeman) was involved in audit, despite pushback from citizens who wanted Jovan Pulitzer
Harri Hursti & Philip Stark picked as auditors picked by Secy of State - in all these [contested] states, SOS's are corrupt. HH is an "evil genius." ~42 mins
Discussion of the supposed need for backdating NH Windham machines in NH ~49
Hursti in 2016: hacks can be either persistent or "one time". ~53 mins
Memory card reset/copying discussion vs "clear counters"- master memory card need not be wiped out ~59
Hursti said he did it the way he did because it was the only way to do it [overwriting the master?] ~1:04 - not true acc to Josh Merritt.
Is it true that there was "no way" these machines could be connected to the net? ~1:08
NO - Dennis helped developed X86 chipset. "that guy is full of shit."
page 2 of 2
DESPITE THE GEMS DISCREPANCIES IN NH, the problematic role played by GEMS is still not obvious to the public.
Until it gets more exposure, will remain a hidden but POWERFUL factor in election fraud in the US and elsewhere.
Who owns Dominion?
Who pulls the strings?
Who's ultimately behind election fraud ALL OVER THE WORLD???
According to initial reports in Nov 2020, Dominion is a "privately-held" concern headquartered in Toronto, CA.
Their US office is in Denver, CO.
[This may no longer be the case, but was true through the 2020 Presidential elections.]
After Dominion was charged with election fraud by Sidney Powell and numerous others, they apparently changed many of their business operations.
So it's important to look at DATES when speaking of ownership, control, current address, etc.
Back in 2019, Dems got interested in investigating election fraud:

Warren, Klobuchar, Wyden, and Pocan Investigate Vulnerabilities and Shortcomings of Election Technology Industry with Ties to Private Equity
Three private equity-owned election technology vendors serve 90% of eligible voters but fail to sufficiently innovate, improve, and protect deteriorating voting systems; Election security experts have noted for years that our nation's voting systems and election infrastructure are under serious threat
Washington, DC - United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ranking Member of the Senate Rules Committee, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Representative Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), sent letters to three private equity firms McCarthy Group, staple street Capital Group, and H.I.G. Capital that reportedly own or have investments in election technology vendors responsible for developing, manufacturing, and maintaining the vast majority of voting machines and software in the United States.
In their letters, the lawmakers raise concerns about vulnerabilities and a lack of transparency in the election technology industry and the poor condition of voting machines and other election technology equipment. They request information about the role private equity investment in these companies have played in creating and perpetuating these conditions.
Election security experts have noted for years that our nation's election systems and infrastructure are under serious threat, but voting machines reportedly continue to fail and breakdown across the country, as vendors fail to innovate, improve, and protect voting systems, putting U.S. elections at avoidable and increased risk.
The three vendors Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart InterCivic collectively distribute voting machines and software that facilitate voting for over 90% of all eligible voters in the United States. Private equity firms reportedly own or control each of these vendors, which "have long skimped on security in favor of convenience," leaving voting systems across the country "prone to security problems."

On Friday, the China Securities Regulatory Commission gave approval for UBS AG to hold the majority stake in its securities joint venture.
The Swiss bank, which currently owns 24.99% of the UBS Securities Co joint venture, had applied in May this year to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to raise its stake to 51%. UBS is acquiring from China Guodian Capital Holdings and COFCO their 12.01% and 14% stakes in UBS Securities, respectively.
This makes it the first foreign bank to secure such control under new rules announced by Beijing last year.
UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti said in a statementExternal link: “Growing our China business is key element of our strategy. The further opening up of China's financial sector represents great opportunities for our wealth management, investment bank and asset management businesses.” .....

COFCO Group and State Development & Investment Corporation (SDIC) also acquired part ownership from China Jianyin Investment.
The firm began operations in May of 2007. It underwrote BYD Company, Pang Da Automobile Trade and other publicly traded companies in their IPO. In 2011, China Guodian acquired the SDIC's 14% stake and China Jianyin Investment sold its remaining 14.01% stake to its parent company, Central Huijin Investment, which was in turn acquired in 2013 by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government [zh]-owned Guangdong Provincial Communication Group [zh].
One year later, UBS increased its stake from 20% to 24.99% by acquiring International Finance Corporation's share.[3]
UBS Securities became a subsidiary of UBS in 2015.[4]

The latter company increased its share to 51% by acquiring additional stake from China Guodian and COFCO Group.[5] Beijing Guoxiang Asset Management's stake in UBS Securities is now (as of 2019) owned by sister company Beijing State-owned Assets Management.[6]

Based on the past few posts, it appears that at the time of the 2020 election:
- Staple Street owned Dominion
- Staple Street MAY have made a deal in October with USB Ltd (owned 49% by China and 51% by Swiss bank USB AG) whereby it would acquire a substantial interest in Staple Street.
- IF TRUE, this means that both China and USB AG have a substantial interest in Dominion Voting Systems - the company that dominates elections around the world
SO WHO CONTROLS USB AG?
Hard to really know, but here's some info from Wikipedia.
UBS Group AG[nb 1] is a Swiss multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Co-headquartered in the cities of Zürich and Basel, it maintains a presence in all major financial centres as the largest Swiss banking institution and the largest private bank in the world. UBS client services are known for their strict bank–client confidentiality and culture of banking secrecy.[nb 2] Because of the bank's large positions in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific markets, the Financial Stability Board considers it a global systemically important bank.
UBS was founded in 1862 as the Bank in Winterthur alongside the advent of the Swiss banking industry. During the 1890s, the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC) was founded, forming a private banking syndicate that expanded, aided by Switzerland's international neutrality. In 1912, the Bank of Winterthur merged with Toggenburger Bank to form the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) and grew rapidly after the Banking Law of 1934 codified Swiss banking secrecy. Following decades of market competition between Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC), the two merged in 1998 to create a single company known solely as "UBS".[nb 3]
UBS does not stand for Union Bank of Switzerland. In fact, that was one of the more than 370 financial firms that have, since 1862, become part of today's UBS. After UBS managed heavy losses during the 2008 financial crisis with an asset relief recovery program, it was hit by the 2011 rogue trader scandal resulting in a US$2 billion trading loss. In 2012, the bank reoriented itself around wealth management advisory services and limited its sell side operations. ....
As of 2021, UBS is the 3rd largest bank in Europe with a market capitalization of $61 billion.[15] It is considered a systematically important bank by the Financial Stability Board. It has over CHF3.2 trillion in assets under management (AUM), approximately CHF 2.8 trillion of which are invested assets.[16]
