While Trump supporters argue Dominion Voting System donated money to Democrats -- and it might well happen we are going to find that true -- at this point we find it is a dominant Republican, no less than Mitch McConnell who received donations.
This news is found not in a current story, but in one that ran more than a year ago, way back when Robert Mueller made his report. Newsweek, July 26, 2019, cites another news agency, Sludge, as saying that Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck lobbyist David Cohen, who had worked with Dominion, gave McConnell $2000. And, Brian Wild, who works with Cohen, gave McConnell another $1,000.
Election security was a concern then, and the article notes McConnell "squashed two bills intended to ensure voting security on Thursday, just one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russians were attempting to sabotage the 2020 presidential elections 'as we sit here.' "
So, Dominion people gave thousands of dollars to Republican McConnell. McConnell then upended legislation to provide election security. Now, here we are today worried about election security and we have to reflect that McConnell squashed such legislation. Why would McConnell ever oppose legislation providing election security?
