GEMS software is the KEY to unlocking election vote manipulation

GEMS = Global Election Management System

Many of the digs until now have focused mainly on Dominion election systems - one of the companies that supplies voting machines. (But Dominion also plays another role now: as the current owner of GEMS - see how this happened below).

From what I can tell, the real 'villain' in the piece is the software that runs on these machines: the GEMS software.

GEMS was identified in a suit in 2019 as a serious security risk.

Over and over again, it was implicated - see CAP.

CALL for a DIG on GEMS

DIG SO FAR:

Who developed GEMS?

Still trying to pin that down.

But there was a company - Global Election Systems (GES) that was acquired by Diebold/DESI/Premier in 2002. [Name changes explained BELOW]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_Election_Solutions#History

As of 2002:

"The City of Norfolk's new election system also uses Diebold's powerful GEMS(TM) (Global Election Management System) software, a market-leading Microsoft Windows(R)-based election management and tabulation system utilizing a platform capable of everything from ballot creation to full election reporting"

https://investors.dieboldnixdorf.com/news-releases/news-release-details/diebold-election-systems-closes-million-dollar-deal-city-norfolk

IS GES the SAME as GEMS??

good chace it is - but this needs a deeper dig.

Who now controls GEMS?

As of 2009, was Premier Election Systems - formerly Diebold Election Systems, Inc. (DESI)

2009 - Premier/Diebold was sold to ES&S.

But anti-trust legislation resulted in Premier being sold to Dominion in 2010.

The sale included "all versions of the GEMS election management system."
