Peeling the onion back: Why is a foreign company embedded in the US election pipeline?

Looking at the ongoing debate over election integrity and voter registration rolls, the recent news out of New Jersey(6,600 registered non citizens on the voter role's) brings up a critical question that often gets glossed over, Why are foreign owned conglomerates managing the backend databases that feed directly into American voter rolls?

"The vendor responsible for the software, IDEMIA, is a French company that has held a contract with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission for 40 years, according to the company. IDEMIA also provides identity-related security services nationwide, including TSA PreCheck and facial recognition systems. The state is transitioning to a new vendor, according to Sherrill’s office."

"In a post on X, Vance wrote: “If only there was a way to stop this type of ‘software error’ that allowed non citizens to vote in our elections.” He then challenged Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim to join Republicans in supporting the SAVE Act, legislation that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections"

Hey JD you missed the gist of the scandal , a foreign Company was involved in vetting the numbers.a foreign owned corporation was contracted to write, maintain, and execute the backend data pipeline that interfaces directly with state voter registration rolls.

States Right not at all likely to ever change as it takes 38 states to ratify.

Suck on this, now.

OP, do you mean like Elon Musk's companies? Maybe Bezos' Amazon? Meta's Zuckerberg? Palantir's Thiel? Oracle's Ellison?

That's one heck of an onion around Trump and his attempted destruction of US Democracy.

Of course those companies are kind of American, so not foreign, so I guess it's okay.

OTOH, a careful reading of the SSCI Report on the 2016 election, a report from the group chaired by Marco Rubio, certainly indicate a good deal of Russian cooperation directly with the Trump campaign.

Then there's the "company" known as the monarchy of Saudi Arabia and the Sheikh-let of the UAE and the whatever-it-is of Qatar that are certainly "helpful" in getting Trump re-elected as well as wealthy.

The spin cycle stops ! A foreign company & a blue state hell bent on protecting the insanity of foreign national voting, both competing for the loser's spot in election competency .

New Jersey Dem gov's blame game backfires after tech company pins noncitizen voter registration on state

"The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote," IDEMIA said. "Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections".

Time for a investigation into both New Jersey & a Foreign Company involved in election integrity.

Adding to the suspicion, IDEMIA publicly refuted Governor Sherrill's claims of a software glitch, revealing that its system accurately transmitted that the applicants were noncitizens and accusing state election officials of failing to properly validate eligibility before adding them to the rolls.

“We want subpoena power, we want testimony, public hearings, and we need a final public report — not filtered through the lens of the governor, not filtered through either party, an independent bipartisan review,” GOP Assemblymember Dawn Fantasia said during a press conference on Thursday".

No matter what is discussed or implemented with regards as to if a vote is legal the Orange Bufoon will still claim he's been robbed. He is incapable of accepting reality and always will be.

Watters reports on disclosures out of New Jersey, where state officials acknowledged that thousands (6,600) of non citizens were mistakenly registered to vote through DMV software systems.Jessie must go into the meat of the matter like Politico. People want investigations.

state gop calling for investigation, Dem’s no where to be found in support.The crisis thickens.

NBC ABC & CNN didn't show TRUMPS speech, to bad they missed out on this.

Herridge: Emails suggest election intel on China was suppressed

"Herridge called the announcement significant, pointing not only to the accusations but also to the newly declassified documents released to the public. Those documents, Herridge said, would allow the public to fact-check the president’s claims.

She told Katie Pavlich that she had located a conversation within the documents stating that they had manipulated one of the president’s daily briefs".

I would have significantly greater confidence in election integrity with foreign firms involved than US firms.....that's for sure.

BWAHAHA! Another MAGA ridiculous attempt to rewrite history! 🤣🤣🤣

The whistleblower mentioned in your source actually declared he was pressured BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION to downplay the Russian interference and exaggerate the Chinese threat!

"He says he was instructed by Mr Wolf in mid-May to "cease providing intelligence assessments on the threat of Russian interference... and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran". These instructions came directly from White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, the complaint says."

US official claims pressure to downplay intelligence reports

A whistleblower says the order over analysis about Russia was because it "made the president look bad".

peeling back the DMV(Department of motor vehicles ) non citizen voter registrations scandal uncovered recently in NJ , seems like Alaska has suspicions of errors.

"Alaska Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher told state lawmakers during a hearing this week that it appears “a lot of old data was picked up somehow" when the division conducted voter roll maintenance that compares its list with information held by the Division of Motor Vehicles. The process usually yields about 200 names for further review, she said".

New Jersey Gov won't give names, how corrupt is that ? How can other American voters feel confident in federal election integrity when no one is held accountable. Foreign nationals & Marxist politicians who protect them are a curse to the Republic .

"New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced Tuesday that she will defy a Justice Department request for information about the identities of the 6,600 non-citizens who were erroneously registered to vote in the Garden State".

this time only 10 posts answering to himself just to keep up the numbers to reach the record of most non sensical blablabing post,.. what a life

I was wondering the same thing.

Someone at this company was paid off to override the non-citizen checkbox (insider)

Hmmm.

I wonder which of Trump's Election cheating friendly countries would do something like that to muddy the water in service of his Big Lie....?

IDEMIA (formerly Morpho and a subsidiary of Safran) was not a Russian KGB cutout, but whistleblowers alleged its fingerprint software for the FBI secretly contained code licensed from a Russian firm, Papillon AO, with alleged Kremlin ties. Authorities and the company rejected claims of a backdoor.

President Donald Trump's assertions of a Chinese conspiracy to undermine the 2020 U.S. elections are collapsing under scrutiny, according to The Washington Post.

Twelve of the 15 states Trump identified as "compromised" in declassified documents reported they were never notified of any data breach.
Florida's Department of State explicitly stated its voter registration data "has not been hacked."

Declassified intelligence and state responses suggest China obtained voter data from non-governmental sources such as political parties and data compilation companies, not through hacking election systems.

Experts reviewing the evidence concluded these activities were aimed at intelligence gathering, not election interference.

Verified Voting chief Pamela Smith told the Washington Post, “They haven’t changed data. They haven’t modified data. They haven’t deleted data. They just have some data.”

This represents another fact-check failure for Trump's election fraud claims, following expert debunking during his primetime address announcing these allegations.

Trump's fraudulent election claims unravel in Florida

You’re mixing two different issues and treating them as if they’re the same story.The New Jersey case is not a "Trump claim", It is an official admission by Dem Gov. Sherrill. Between June 2023 and June 2024, roughly 6,600 people who explicitly answered no to the U.S. citizenship question at the Motor Vehicle Com were still registered to vote.

Preliminary numbers show fewer than 400 of them actually cast ballots. The state is now removing them. That is not contested.The vendor involved is IDEMIA, a French company that has run New Jersey’s MVC systems for 40 years and also handles TSA PreCheck enrollment and other identity work across the U.S. Sherrill called it a "serious software error", IDEMIA says its system recorded the answers correctly according to the state’s own specifications and that the Division of Elections is responsible for verifying eligibility.

Either way, non citizens ended up on the rolls and some voted. That is a real process failure under motor voter rules.

The Washington Post source I can't read nor do i trust them to be honest.

everything and anything is fraudulent only inside his head, he makes up his own movies, false facts and unfortunately his moronic followers believe it

More bias leftist judiciary intervention(the left went judge shopping & found a Biden appointee) . illegal immigrants registered to vote privacy is more important than election integrity. Sounds like its heading for appeals.

"District Judge Zahid Quraishi, a Biden appointee, ruled that handing over the rolls could give rise to privacy concerns for voters. The ruling is the latest defeat for President Donald Trump's administration after the DOJ sued Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia and New Jersey for access to their voter rolls earlier this year".
