John Poulos, chief executive at Dominion Voting Systems, wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal published on Monday.
“The allegations against Dominion are bizarre, but I’ll set the record straight,” Poulos said. ” Dominion is an American company, now headquartered in Denver. Dominion is not and has never been a front for communists. It has no ties to Hugo Chávez, the late dictator of Venezuela. It has never been involved in Venezuelan elections. None of Dominion’s systems use the Smartmatic software that has come under attack, as any state certification lab could verify. There is no secret ‘vote flipping’ algorithm.”

Now that the state of Arizona has completed the certification process, President Trump can challenge the results.
