<p>In simpler words, Joe Biden won the election, there was no cheating, the &#8220;media&#8221; said so; shut the fuck up&#8230; or else.</p>
<p>Dominion Voting Systems is even going as far as issuing million dollar lawsuits against anyone who dare imply their machines did anything to alter the solemn votes of Americans in favor of one candidate over another.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Dominion-website.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17207 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Dominion-website-150x78.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="78" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Dominion-website-150x78.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Dominion-website-800x414.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Dominion-website-768x397.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Dominion-website.jpg 1482w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems have asked Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Parler to preserve posts about the company, even if the material was already removed for spreading misinformation.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The posts need to be kept “because they are relevant to Dominion’s defamation claims relating to false accusations that Dominion rigged the 2020 election,” according to the demand letters from Dominion’s law firm Clare Locke. Dominion</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/dominion-voting-systems-giuliani-lawsuit/2021/01/25/b0fc3db4-5f14-11eb-afbe-9a11a127d146_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued Rudolph W. Giuliani</a> <span style="color: #808080;">and</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/dominion-sues-pro-trump-lawyer-sidney-powell-seeking-more-than-13-billion/2021/01/08/ebe5dbe0-5106-11eb-b96e-0e54447b23a1_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sidney Powell</a> <span style="color: #808080;">for more than $1.3 billion each in January, alleging that the lawyers defamed Dominion by saying the machines were used to steal the election from President Donald Trump.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Dominion warned in its letters to the social media companies that more lawsuits would be coming.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Facebook, Twitter and YouTube all have policies against spreading election-related misinformation. They have been removing — with varying degrees of success — posts falsely suggesting the election had been rigged since the baseless rumors began spreading in November. Parler was</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/09/amazon-parler-suspension/?itid=lk_inline_manual_10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">effectively knocked offline</a> <span style="color: #808080;">in January when Amazon, Apple and Google stopped providing it technical services for</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/13/amazon-parler-takedown/?itid=lk_inline_manual_10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">violating their policies</a> <span style="color: #808080;">against online posts that incite violence.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/02/04/dominion-voting-social-media-letters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post, 2/4/21</a></p>
<p>If ANY mention of voting machine &#8220;irregularities&#8221; can and will be met with a lawsuit, why are voting machines being blamed for an election loss?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Oswego-county.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17219 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Oswego-county-150x166.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="166" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Oswego-county-150x166.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Oswego-county.jpg 580w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></strong>Respondent the Oswego County Board of Elections (“Oswego County”) encountered <strong>“voting machine issues in Constantia Districts 1 and 3 and Williamstown,”</strong> which required all ballots cast to be “hand counted and added to the machine totals in those election districts.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">In this case, there is reason to believe that voting tabulation machines misread hundreds if not thousands of valid votes as undervotes, (supra at 4), and that these tabulation machine errors disproportionately affected Brindisi, (id.).</span></strong><br />

<p>Uh oh.</p>
<p>And what lawyer, who values his or her license to practice and speak freely, would risk it all to imply a Dominion voting system provided problematic results in an election?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Marc-Elias.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17212 size-medium" title="Marc Elias" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Marc-Elias-150x92.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="92" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Marc-Elias-150x92.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Marc-Elias.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Marc Elias, the election lawyer who represented Democratic challenges to state rules throughout the 2020 election, alleged in a court filing this week that a close congressional race in upstate New York was marred by faulty voting machines.</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In the congressional race for New York’s 22nd district, Republican Claudia Tenney currently leads incumbent Democrat Anthony Brindisi by a razor-thin margin of 125 votes. Tenney declared victory on Tuesday, though challenges </span><a href="https://www.uticaod.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/02/02/ny-22-tenney-declares-victory-over-brindisi-results-not-final/4354707001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">continue</a><span style="color: #808080;">. In a legal </span><a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/2020/12/2021.02.01_Memorandum-of-Law.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">filing</a><span style="color: #808080;"> Monday requesting a manual audit of the election, <strong>Elias, whose Perkins Coie law firm is representing Brindisi, argued that there were “substantial errors and irregularities in the conduct of the election.”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">Citing alleged discrepancies between votes counted by hand and votes counted by ballot machines, Elias argued that the error rate, extrapolated across the entire district, could mean that thousands of votes were improperly counted by the machines.</span></strong></p>
<p>Marc Elias has made a nice living casting doubt and trying to overturn the results of elections; ONLY elections where the Democrat lost.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17213 size-medium" title="Marc Elias" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias.jpg 474w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Elias is also representing defeated Democrat Rita Hart in Iowa’s 1st congressional district, who lost by six votes to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller Meeks (R-IA). He is asking the Democrat-controlled House to overturn the result of the election and seat Hart, despite certification of the vote by state election authorities, bypassing Iowa courts in the process.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In addition, as Breitbart News has noted, <strong>“Elias was responsible for hiring opposition research firm Fusion GPS, on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, [which produced] the fraudulent “Russia dossier” on then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.”</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2021/02/03/democrat-lawyer-marc-elias-claims-faulty-voting-machines-in-new-york-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breitbart, 2/3/21</a></p>
<p>Of course, and as usual, the hypocrisy is in your face.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a Democrat who lost a race in 2020 due to voting irregularities with a Dominion voting machine, everything necessary can and will be done to overturn the results of that election with no fear of media criticism and legal repercussion on the horizon.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Powell.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-16239 size-medium" title="Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Powell-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Powell-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Powell.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>However, if you&#8217;re a Republican who makes similar claims and dares mention Dominion, you will be publicly labeled a kook sharing fact-checked and debunked misinformation, be banished from social media and sued into oblivion.</p>
<p>Welcome to the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, circa 2020-21.</p>
