"Free and Fair Election" Nonprofit Criticizes Former Trump Election Attorney to Democrat Lawmakers * The Gateway Pundit * by Brian Lupo
F
Kurt Olsen, the former lead adviser to President Trump on election security, is being criticized by a “catalyzing leader in the country” who proclaims to be “fighting for free and fair elections” in a letter sent to Democrat lawmakers.
The organization, Free Speech For People (FSFP), sent the letter to 11 Democrat lawmakers “to address the deeply troubling, corrosive, and unlawful employment of Kurt Olsen” and his former role as a Special Government Employee. Specifically, FSFP points to “activities with respect to voting systems” and Olsen’s “access to copies of election system software.”
FSFP co-founder and President, John Bonifaz, has previously expressed concern about that same voting software coming from a “foreign-controlled company” that has “ties to the Venezuelan government” in a letter still available on nist.gov, the National Institute of Standards and Technology website.
Reporting on the letter from the FSFP, NBC News describes Olsen as “an election denier who tried to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss” while describing the nonprofit as focused “on free and fair elections and rooting out corruption in government.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that FSFP was intimately involved in a lawsuit against canvassers in Colorado after the 2020 election, claiming the defendants violated the KKK Act in doing so. The lawsuit hinged almost exclusively on the testimony of a single witness coached by attorneys to mislead investigators and the federal court in order to silence private citizens lawfully canvassing voters to ensure election integrity.
The defendants won that case in federal court with a directed verdict.
The letter rehashes previous claims of "voting systems...accessed without proper authorization" in several counties, including Coffee County, Georgia, Fulton County, Pennsylvania, three counties in Michigan, and Mesa County, Colorado.
FSFP also mentions that election software was "released through legal means" in Antrim County, Michigan, and Maricopa County, Arizona.
Ironically, there is no mention of Elbert County, Colorado, which, at the same time, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters created an image of the software as required by state and federal law, former Clerk Dallas Schroeder was doing the same in Elbert County.
While Peters was found guilty of crimes unrelated to the software backup itself, Schroeder was never charged for backing up the software. The forensic image was, however, seized by the Secretary of State's office and has not been seen since. Experts claim that the image made in Elbert County and retained by the Secretary could substantiate claims from the Mesa County forensic image. Both images were created in accordance with state and federal law requiring the system to be preserved prior to making any software updates.
FSFP scrutinized access to the election software by cybersecurity expert Ben Cotton, whose declarations have been used in cases filed by Kurt Olsen on behalf of Kari Lake in 2022 and in DeKalb County, Georgia. Ben Cotton holds a high-level security clearance and has done exemplary work for several U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Defense.
The letter continues, "[T]he Georgia Secretary of State's chief information officer testified that copies of the software would give the possessor a 'road map' to the ways the system could be accessed." This remark in and of itself should be the focal point of any entity purporting to fight for "free and fair elections," especially considering that the software, according to FSFP co-founder and President John Bonifaz, was developed by a private company with a foreign origin and concerning alleged foreign ties.
In 2010, Bonifaz wrote a letter to the Technical Guidelines Development Committee and the UOCAVA Working Group outlining significant concerns with Dominion Voting and its foreign ties.
In that letter, Bonifaz wrote (emphasis added):
"...the swift rise this spring of Dominion, a little known foreign company engaged in Internet voting and with no reported income, to become the first or second largest voting machine company in the United States, after purchasing, in May 2010, voting systems made by Diebold (Diebold formerly was the second largest voting
systems company in the U.S. and no longer has a U.S. voting systems business), and after purchasing, in June 2010, Sequoia Voting Systems, the voting machines of which rely on proprietary source code developed and owned by Smartmatic, a company headquartered in Venezuela with ties to the Hugo Chavez government of Venezuela..."
Below are three screenshots from the 2010 letter, in which he raised many questions similar to those raised following the 2020 election by attorney Sidney Powell, whom FSFP alludes to in the letter to Democrat lawmakers:
Why is there such sudden concern that the United States Department of Justice is investigating election software that FSFP's own president has called into question? Shouldn't an organization that purports to be for "free and fair elections" encourage the investigations into proprietary software developed outside of the U.S. and kept secret from the American people for over a decade?
