I Voted?
Over at a financial forum...
StJL - "And BTW, Trump in his tweet mentioned an open and successful election when he predicted that it certainly was going to be rigged."
Following up on Voting Machine Manipulation? Did you know? Smartmatic sold their #4 Sequoia electronic voting machine (EVM) division to Dominion Voting Systems the #2 ballot counting corporation. Dominion are currently estimated to hold a 40% market share of the EVM's used in the US.
The #1 ballot counting corporation is Election Systems & Software (ESS) with 60% of US EVM's. After acquiring AIS Votronic and Automark, ESS acquired #3 Premier Election Systems (formerly Diebold Election Systems).
So essentially through M and A of all other major competitors, Dominion and ESS are the two left standing. If you thought that was the end of the story, guess again.
ESS is 25% owned by the McCarthy Group, an Omaha investment fund that is identified with Republican causes. Another 50% of ESS is owned by the Omaha World-Herald Company, which publishes the city’s conservative daily newspaper.
Points for guessing who owns the Omaha World-Herald Company. Hint, said company is headed by one known as the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet.
Meanwhile, in other post election news....
"A rise in Berkshire Hathaway shares added $1.7 billion to Warren Buffett’s fortune on Wednesday, bringing his total net worth to $68 billion, according to FORBES estimates. That gain plus another $2 billion rise in his fortune between Friday and Tuesday was enough to make Buffett once again the third richest person in the world." - Forbes
