Just to be clear, the doc doesn't say Smartmatic owns Dominion as your headline suggests. It says Dominion bought Sequoia and the Sequoia machines run on proprietary Smartmatic source code. So they're in a corrupt bed together for sure, but let's be accurate with the language.
Ellipses are often intentionally misused to change the meaning of a quote.
For example, a movie reviewer writes, "I am filled with wonder how this piece of garbage got made. This is the worst movie of the year!"
And then the movie company puts in its ad, "Filled with wonder...Movie of the Year!"
I'm not accusing you of doing it intentionally, but your headline makes it sound like Dominion is owned by Smartmatic. I'm just cautioning to use precise language. We need to convince people who are actively looking for a reason not to believe there was fraud. If they see something they regard as misleading, that's their offramp.
I just said I wasn't accusing you of being deliberately misleading. Ellipses, used properly, are intended to remove extraneous verbiage from a statement without changing the meaning of the statement. As written, given standard subject-verb relationships in the English language, the headline states that Dominion is owned by Smartmatic. That's not what the document says. This is my only point. We're on the same side. Thank you for posting the link to the doc.
what's with the ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
interesting that this is the first i've seen this doc pop up. Good find.
This has been posted already but it's good to keep it's relevancy up. Those who don't have it, need it.
