Sydney Powell, one of Donald Trump's lawyers, says his team is preparing to "
free the Kraken
".
In other words, to unleash the wrath of the gods, through the tentacled mythological creature, by showing the extent of the fraud in the presidential election of November 3.
A manipulation of the results "
unprecedented
", led by a political network "
linked to the extreme left
" but also to controversial international figures like George Soros.
“
This was organized and conducted with the help of companies from Silicon Valley, big Tech, social networks and the media,
” attacks the activist and lawyer, who stands for the moment to the accusations, and said to reserve "
the first of the proofs to justice
”.

The questioning of the voting machine system is in any case the new obsession of the Trump camp, with a series of explanations on the possibilities of cheating, and a teasing to keep its supporters in suspense.
And this, while Joe Biden begins to constitute his cabinet and that he would be called “
President-elect
” recently.
Dominion and Smartmatic, at the heart of the accusations
At the center of the charges, therefore, various companies including the Canadian Dominion, created in 2003 and now based in Colorado.
It sells both the machines and operating software that allow organizations or institutions around the world to hold elections.
If in 2016, 1,635 American communities had used Dominion products according to Wharton University, approximately 2,000 counties or other jurisdictions would have used the systems this year, across 30 states (including most of the pivotal states at the center of the current legal battles). ).
The company would have become the second largest public supplier, behind Election Systems & Software.

In a tweet, Donald Trump claimed last Thursday that Dominion's software would have "
erased 2.7 million Trump votes across the country,
" with hundreds of thousands of Republican votes being reassigned to Joe Biden.
An accusation without concrete evidence, the president evoking close links "
with Venezuela and therefore China
".
Dominion had indeed suffered operational setbacks in a Venezuelan election, but the possible "
Chinese components
" remain to be determined, as well as the guilt of the whole.
Another electoral operator implicated: Smartmatic, a software supplier, also well established in the United States, and of which Peter Neffenger, chairman of the board of directors, is part of the transition team set up by Joe Biden.
However, the man is also a former admiral.
According to Fox News presenter Maria Bartiromo, citing an American intelligence source, “
the Smartmatic system has a backdoor, which allows it to be controlled, allowing those involved to know in real time how many votes are needed to obtain a electoral advantage
”.
Rigged systems would have allowed many organizations to modify the results, or even to mix votes "
illegal
" according to Trump, that is to say, arrived after the deadline, and legal votes.
To drive the point home, the latter tweeted Saturday, November 14 a video from a report broadcast on NBC News.
The quoted passage refers to the reluctance of Dominion and other electoral software vendors to participate in a hacking contest.
Their machines, finally tested without their consent, proving to be easily hackable.
Returning to the broader accusations, Rudy Giuliani, another lawyer for Donald Trump, recalled that in 2019, three Democratic representatives including the primary candidate Elizabeth Warren had signed an investigation into the voting systems and "
expressed their concern
" on possible fraud .
And quoted a 2012
New York Times article
which noted that the rise of postal voting could cause concern and generate more "
errors and fraud
".
It remains to produce, in court and in front of journalists, the evidence that will support these allegations.
"
In Michigan, I can already prove it, witnesses to support
" promises Rudy Giuliani.
"
In Phoenix, Arizona too, as well as in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
."
Sydney Powell showed the same resolution on Saturday, assuring that the Republicans' action "will
overturn the election in many states
".

In question, Dominion issued a press release to return to several of the charges.
Citing the "
fact-checks
" of various major media including the Associated Press, Dominion first returned to the "
2.7 million votes stolen
" from Trump, indicating that the figure comes from an inauthentic report, based on Edison Research figures.
Whose president Larry Rosin, declares "
not to have found any fraud
".
Likewise, it would be impossible to erase 914,000 votes in Pennsylvania, as all of the counted counties gave Trump 676,000 votes, with a 76% stake.
More broadly, the company assures that its software has not experienced any failure, the failures in Michigan being due to human error.
The company also denies any “
raid
” on its servers and adds that the electoral results recorded on its machines are 100% auditable.
Finally, the company wanted to reassure about its lack of political commitment: if it recognizes a donation made to the Clinton Foundation in 2014, it ensures that it was the financing of a "
bipartisan
" operation.
As for Smartmatic, she assured Saturday that she neither owns Dominion nor has ever sold him any technology.
Regarding George Soros, and despite the absence of any concrete accusation against him, the company recalled that he held "
no share
".
The only connection with the philanthropist being that of Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, historical friend of Soros and director of Smartmatic.

The American administration also went there for its explanations.
On a page of its site, the government agency for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security (CISA) also denied any problems, also returning to several accusations or rumors from pro-Trump activists, and opposing them to a long series of official documents on control of electoral procedures.
According to several American media, the director of the CISA, Christopher Krebs, who testifies in a video about electoral reliability, is currently in the hot seat, Donald Trump considering his replacement.
Other local and federal authorities accompanied the cyberagency and ruled out any possibility of vote manipulation.
"
There is no evidence of an electoral system having erased, lost or changed votes, or having been hacked in any way,
" they said.
“
There is no evidence of a voting system having erased, lost or changed ballots, or been hacked in any way
.
While we know that our electoral process is the subject of many baseless claims and disinformation campaigns, we can assure you that we have absolute confidence in the security and integrity of our elections
”.
“
The November 3 election was the safest in the history of the United States,
” they finally say.
