BRIDGES TRUST

Was digging into Michigan election systems (3 of them). ES&S voting machines are deployed in the major cities so started digging there. They are owned by McCarthy Group, a part of McCarthy Capital. Their web page of team members/partners has a Mike McCarthy (founded the McCarthy org in 1986 and ES&S started 1987] whose bio shows Bridges Trust with a link. Get this:

Multigenerational wealth planning… is it just me, or is this sounding like multiple Q drops?

ES&S uses law fare tactics- when they lose a contract, they sue the county, causing disruptions in voting, etc. This is why they dominate the voting equipment market.

“ A ProPublica examination of ES&S shows it has fought hard to keep its dominance in the face of repeated controversies. The company has a reputation among both its competitors and election officials for routinely going to court when it fails to win contracts or has them taken away, suing voting jurisdictions, rivals, advocates for greater election security and others.

In September 2018, ES&S filed a federal lawsuit against Cook County, Illinois, after the county awarded a $30 million voting machine contract to another company. ES&S later dropped the lawsuit, but the dispute delayed the implementation of Cook County’s new machines, and the Chicago mayoral election this spring ultimately was conducted using the same machines that were meant to be replaced.”
