Two non-profits created before the 2018 election that include US state Secretaries of State and Election Directors, received donations from voting machine companies, ballot printing companies, Zuckerberg’s non-profit as well as a Hillary-related non-profit in 2020.
Where did this money go? Two of the major ballot printing shops in the United States certified to print Dominion paper ballot products, Runbeck Election Services in Tempe, Arizona, and the Fort Orange Press in Albany, NY, are both 2021 major donors to the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED). Notably, Jocelyn Benson, Secretary of State of Michigan, is the current co-chair of the NASS Elections Committee. Election printers Fort Orange and Runbeck both donated $5,000 to NASED. Shockingly, Dominion Voting Systems, ES&S, and Hart InterCivic, the top election machine vendors in the United States also donated to NASS and NASED. In addition, Smartmatic donated to NASS. It is an out-and-out flagrant conflict of interest for voting machine vendors, software designers, and voting machine ballot printers to be corporate donors to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alleged nonpartisan charities, NASS and NASED, which claim to represent 100% of the top U.S. election officials, both secretaries of state and states’ chief election officials.
