They say they went to Butler from anticipation of an announcement as to Vice Pres. choice.
wrong info
so only covered something like 12% at time of Butler; CNN
However, I need to look more into the "events" CNN did cover of Trump's
Events" might not equal rally
CNN says it didn't consider his rallies newsworthy
Specific examples include rallies on
June 18 (Racine, WI),
June 22 (Philadelphia, PA),
June 28 (Chesapeake, VA), and
July 9 (Doral, FL), as well as the Butler rally on July 13. That’s at least five rallies aired live by CNN in 2024 before and including Butler. Out of an estimated 35 rallies up to that date, this means CNN covered approximately 14% of Trump’s rallies live (5 out of 35).
Only four rallies before Butler.

So glad Seth Keshel is on the case
Brad Schimel's 1.063mm votes last night was higher than any Democrat vote total in the history of any WI Supreme Court race. He lost by 10.
Turnout ain't the issue, folks. Dems have mastered ballot harvesting over a lengthy early voting period and can figure out with basic math where their opponent is likely to wind up in order to get over the top.
The country can't survive with mail-in voting.

Who owns sizeable stakes in voter machine co’s?
back when I studied it, it was Bush Crime network
Who decides what voter machines are used in elections?
State Legislatures or is it FEDERAL
"Help America Vote" Act?
ES&S owns Smartmatic?
ES&S-owned technology was in use when more than 150,000 voters inexplicably did not cast a vote for lieutenant governor. In part because the aged ES&S-managed machines did not produce paper backups, it wasn’t clear whether mechanical or human errors were to blame. Litigation surrounding the vote endures to this day.

ES&S is owned by the McCarthy Group, a private equity firm, and thus its financial records — revenue, profits, salaries — are not public. A spokesperson declined to make ES&S officials available for an interview for this article, and the company instead issued written responses to questions. It said its machinery and technology were ultimately found blameless in some of the election controversies over the years. In Georgia, it said that while the company was responsible for the maintenance of the machines, it was unable to make updates to the software. The state of Georgia, it said, was ultimately responsible for the mishaps.

Q
Who owns sizeable stakes in voter machine co’s
Key Points
Research suggests major voter machine companies like ES&S, Dominion, and Hart InterCivic are primarily owned by private equity firms and management teams, with some individual stakeholders.
It seems likely that ownership details are complex and not always publicly disclosed, given these are private companies.
The evidence leans toward McCarthy Group and individuals like Tom Burt and Tom O’Brien holding significant stakes in ES&S, Staple Street Capital and management in Dominion, and historically H.I.G. Capital in Hart, with current Hart ownership less clear.
Ownership Overview
The major voter machine companies in the U.S., such as Election Systems & Software (ES&S), Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart InterCivic, are largely privately held, making ownership details sometimes opaque. Here’s a breakdown based on available information:
ES&S: Owned by the McCarthy Group, a private equity firm, with notable individual stakeholders including Tom Burt (president and CEO), Tom O’Brien (CFO), Nancy McCarthy, and Kenneth Stinson, all reported to have over 5% stakes.
Dominion Voting Systems: Acquired in 2018 by Staple Street Capital, a New York-based private equity firm, alongside its management team, suggesting they hold significant stakes.
Hart InterCivic: Historically owned by H.I.G. Capital until at least 2020, but current ownership is less clear, likely involving management given recent trends in private companies.
An unexpected detail is the historical connection to political figures, like past associations with investment firms linked to political families, though current ties are not directly evidenced.
Supporting Details
Ownership in these companies can be controversial due to concerns about election integrity and potential conflicts of interest, especially given their critical role in democracy. The information is based on public records and company disclosures, but gaps exist due to their private status.
Comprehensive Analysis of Ownership in Voter Machine Companies
This analysis delves into the ownership structures of major voter machine companies in the United States, focusing on Election Systems & Software (ES&S), Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart InterCivic, based on available public information as of April 2025. These companies play a pivotal role in election infrastructure, and their ownership is a topic of interest due to implications for transparency and democratic processes.
Background and Methodology
Voter machine companies, responsible for manufacturing electronic voting systems, ballot tabulators, and related election technology, are primarily private entities, which often limits detailed ownership disclosures. The analysis began by identifying key players through reputable sources, including government registries like the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (Registered Manufacturers) and industry reports. Ownership details were gathered from company websites, Wikipedia pages, news articles, and financial databases, with a focus on stakeholders holding "sizeable stakes," typically defined as significant shares or controlling interests.
Election Systems & Software (ES&S)
ES&S, based in Omaha, Nebraska, is the largest manufacturer of voting machines in the U.S., serving approximately 1,544 county-level jurisdictions. Ownership research indicates that as of June 2019, ES&S is wholly owned by Government Systems, Software & Services, Inc., with the McCarthy Group holding a controlling ownership (Election Systems & Software Wikipedia). The McCarthy Group, an Omaha-based private equity firm, has been a partner since 1987, supporting ES&S's growth (FAQs - Election Systems & Software).
Individual stakeholders with over 5% shares include:
Tom Burt, president and CEO.
Tom O’Brien, vice president and CFO.
Nancy McCarthy and Kenneth Stinson, passive investors in the McCarthy Group.
Company statements, such as those on their official site (About - Election Systems & Software), emphasize 100% American ownership, reinforcing the domestic nature of these stakes. News articles, like a 2019 NBC News report (Chinese parts, hidden ownership, growing scrutiny), confirm these details, noting responses to state inquiries about investors with significant stakes.
Dominion Voting Systems
Dominion Voting Systems, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Toronto and Denver, is a leading supplier of election technology, serving 28 states in the 2020 U.S. presidential election (Dominion Voting Systems Wikipedia). Ownership details reveal a significant shift in 2018, when the company was acquired by its management team and Staple Street Capital, a middle-market private equity firm based in New York (Dominion Voting Systems Acquired by its Management Team and Staple Street Capital). This acquisition suggests Staple Street Capital and the management team, including founders like CEO John Poulos, hold sizeable stakes post-acquisition.
Company statements on their website (About - Dominion Voting Systems) and fact-checking efforts (Setting the Record Straight) deny ties to foreign entities or political figures, but specific shareholder percentages are not disclosed, consistent with private company practices. Financial databases like Bloomberg (Dominion Voting Systems Corp - Company Profile) and Dun & Bradstreet (Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. Company Profile) confirm its private status, with no public shareholder lists available.
Staple Street Capital’s portfolio listing (Staple Street Capital Portfolio) notes Dominion as "formerly founder owned," reinforcing the shift to private equity and management control.
Hart InterCivic
Hart InterCivic, based in Austin, Texas, and founded in 1912, serves over 30 million registered voters across 18 states, including entire states like Hawaii and Oklahoma (Hart InterCivic - Crunchbase). Historical ownership shows a "strategic investment" from H.I.G. Capital in July 2011, described as an acquisition, indicating significant control at that time (Hart InterCivic Wikipedia). However, by July 2020, H.I.G. Capital no longer listed Hart on its website, suggesting a possible exit (Hart InterCivic - Wikipedia).
Current ownership as of 2025 is less clear from public sources. Given trends in private companies, it seems likely that Hart is now management-owned or acquired by another private equity firm, but specific details are not readily available in recent reports. Bloomberg (Hart InterCivic Inc - Company Profile) and PitchBook (Hart InterCivic Company Profile) list it as private, with no recent updates on major shareholders. News articles, such as a 2012 Forbes piece (Romney Family Investment Ties To Voting Machine Company), mention past connections to investment firms like Solamere Capital via H.I.G., but clarify no direct ownership by political figures.
Discussion and Implications
The ownership of these companies is predominantly by private equity firms and management teams, reflecting a trend in the election technology sector where competition is fierce and market dominance is high, as noted in a 2019 Guardian article (They think they are above the law). This structure raises questions about transparency, especially given the critical nature of voting systems. For instance, ES&S’s ties to the McCarthy Group and individual investors like Burt and O’Brien are well-documented, while Dominion’s acquisition by Staple Street Capital in 2018 marks a clear shift to private equity control. Hart’s ownership post-2020 remains ambiguous, highlighting the challenge of tracking private company changes.
An unexpected finding is the historical political connections, such as past associations with investment firms linked to political families, though current evidence does not support direct political ownership. This aspect is particularly relevant given public scrutiny, as seen in Senate inquiries (Ranking Members Klobuchar, Warner, Reed, and Peters Press Election Equipment Manufacturers) and media coverage, especially around the 2020 election.
Conclusion
Research suggests that sizeable stakes in voter machine companies are held by private equity firms like McCarthy Group (ES&S), Staple Street Capital (Dominion), and historically H.I.G. Capital (Hart), alongside management teams and individual investors. The evidence leans toward these entities being the primary stakeholders, but gaps in current ownership, particularly for Hart, underscore the need for further disclosure in this critical sector.
