Trump's charge is that Dominion Voting Systems donated to Democrats. While my study of the topic continues, the first evidence in is just the opposite -- Dominion donated not to Democrats, but to Republicans in the state of Nevada.
The revelation came to light thanks to a tweet from a former Republican candidate for the U.S. House. She was trying to support Trump's claim that Dominion was giving to anti-Trump causes. "Dominion Voting Systems donated thousands of dollars to an anti-Trump Republican PAC linked to our Sec of State in Nevada," Mindy Robinson tweeted. The tweet offered a screenshot of the donation Dominion made to the Republican State Leadership Committee, as found on the secretary of state's website.
Robinson cited no evidence or reason for her saying the Republican State Leadership Committee is anti-Trump. And, the evidence that has turned up runs counter to that. Says the group's website: "The RSLC and state Republicans are on the offense this year -- and President Trump is powering the way. Across our 12 target redistricting states, at least 115 districts are currently held by a Democrat, but were won by President Trump in 2016. We are going to flip them to Republican when he wins them again this fall."
That statement indicates support for Trump, rather than opposition. And, either way, the donation was to Republicans, not to Democrats. It might be wrong for Dominion to be giving contributions to a party when it is providing the election equipment for the elections, but if it reflects a bias, the bias is to the Republicans. If Dominion was going to change votes from Trump to Biden in Nevada, why was it donating to the Repubicans?
