American elections are a symbol of our freedom. Freedom that was obtained by fiercely independent men who valued liberty over their lives and security. The founding fathers developed a representative republic. The votes we cast for candidates are how we select our representation. That representation is elected to do the will of the people. They are public servants acting on behalf of the governed.
Votes are the basic currency on which our republic operates. Our votes = our voice. If our vote can not be secured, and the election results are not the will of the people, what do we have left? (Venezuela, Brazil) The will of the black box voting companies and the powers that be that have full back door access to the centralized voter registration and election night reporting system subject us to slavery. We are simply going through the motions pretending we are voting while our freedom has vanished as we sat like boiling frogs in a pot of brewing communism. Our apathy has led us to elections that are being counted in secret, the audit trail hidden from us, with a totally centralized system that has eliminated local control and is completely vulnerable to hacking and manipulation. We are now at the boiling point.
Bpro, Inc of Pierre, SD, now owned by Knowink of St. Louis, MO, is the centralized voter registration and election night reporting system software that is the key to the big picture. This system brings all the pieces together. See this video:
The centralized, internet connected, non-certified software that touches all aspects of the election was reported on in depth a couple of months ago. Visit our website for article links here, and video links here.
In 2007, then Secretary of State, Chris Nelson worked to develop the Bpro Total Vote system with HAVA Funds. It was called CERS at the time; Central Election Reporting System. Bpro was owned by Sandra Bowers, and Brandon Campea worked as a programmer and VP. In 2009, Nelson launched the Total Vote system; that same year Campea purchased Bpro. Chris Nelson took the Total Vote program to the National Association of Election Officials in San Diego, CA and presented this creation to the country. In 2009, Nelson also gave away the state owned Source Code to North Dakota, valued at $100,000.00 in exchange for a sole source contract with Bpro, Inc.
Jason Gant ran for Secretary of State in 2010, and during his campaign his PAC accepted funds from Bpro of $7,500 and ES&S of $10,000. Nebraska signed a contract with Bpro in 2010 also.
From www.sddp.org:
Gant is silent on the issue of state tax dollars supporting election activities because he is a prime benefactor of a pervasive culture of kickbacks and pay-to-play in Pierre, says Ben Nesselhuf, Chairman of the South Dakota Democratic Party. “The same person overseeing our elections is leveraging our tax dollars to help elect Republican candidates through his political action committee,” says Nesselhuf. “It’s machine politics at its worst, and its exactly why Democrats are fighting for more accountability with state contracts and grants.”
BPRO, Inc, an IT company based in Pierre, gave $7500 to Secretary Gant’s political action committee in 2011. Since then, BPRO received 9 contracts or extensions of existing contracts with the Secretary of State’s office and $287,137.13 in state tax dollars.
Government Systems, Software, and Services, based out of Omaha, NE, contributed $10,000 to Secretary Gant’s political action committee in 2011. One year prior, an organization named “Election Systems and Software” listed at the exact same address as “Government Systems, Software, and Services,” received $31,789 from state coffers.
Contract and vendor payment information was found open.sd.gov
This issue of kickbacks and pay to play must be resolved, says Nesselhuf. “For Pierre Insiders, the culture of kickbacks might seem like just another day in the life,” says Nesselhuf. “But for everyday South Dakotans, the whole thing stinks.”
Gant is elected SOS, and in 2011 he hosted a pheasant hunt with other Secretaries of State from across the country, with Brandon Campea also in attendance. Now, most people seem to know what a mess Gant made of the SOS office with missing funds, missing State flag, millions of missing electronic records, lawsuits, conflicts of interest and more. But, it seems Gant was busy behind the scenes working to export Bpro Total Vote to as many states as possible.
In 2014 Hawaii signed a sole source contract with Bpro for voter roll maintenance and election night reporting system. In May of 2015 (Gant is out of office at this time) Jason Gant “gifts” the SD State owned source code to New Mexico, valued at $1,000,000.00 in exchange for another sole source contract.
Bpro secured contracts with other states such as Montana, Iowa, ARIZONA, Hawaii, Washington ($10 million), PENNSYLVANIA ($10 million), Oregon ($7 million) , and more. Seems this plan to give away the state owned source code to Total Vote was a success, and Bpro raked in the contracts, which were not even put out for bid due to South Dakota’s generosity and Bpro being the only company who could service the product.
In 2020, Montana was in a big hurry to implement Bpro Total Vote, despite pushback from county officials. This was out of character for the SOS, and was also not put out for bid by Montana.
Stapleton’s office inked an exclusive $2 million contract with South Dakota-based information technology company BPro on April 30.
“It would seem more reasonable to begin this immense change-over outside of a presidential cycle, which could be one of the biggest in our lifetimes,” Verhasselt said in her letter to Stapleton. “We believe the current project development timeline is simply too aggressive and stands to put the election process in Montana at risk.”
The 2020 timeline has also left several lawmakers feeling unsettled.
What was the big hurry? One can only wonder. Montana has not complied with public records requests by us or Montana based election integrity groups. Montana has some very strange things going on with their voter rolls, as proven by analysis of the SOS own work product.
Maybe Montana needed a company that prides themselves on knowing the results “before anyone else”.
Chris Nelson has been involved in state government since 2003 and is now in the PUC until 2028. Jason Gant is now the County Auditor for Charles Mix County. If we look at the South Dakota State Government, you can find most of these “elected” officials have been in office for decades. It’s just a rotating wheel where they jump from one office to the next. House to Senate, Senate to House, House to PUC, PUC to US Congress, SOS office to House, House to SOS office, SOS office to Bpro, BPro back to SOS office.
Seems the Democrats know about the pay for play schemes in SD. “For Pierre Insiders, the culture of kickbacks might seem like just another day in the life. But for everyday South Dakotans, the whole thing stinks.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
