Michigan police want to know how a voting machine ended up at Goodwill, then sold online for $1,200.
CNN reports that Michigan police are in the process of investigating how a missing state voting machine ended up first at a Goodwill online—
listed for just $7.99—
then sold on eBay by an Ohio man to an election security specialist living in Connecticut, who bought the machine for $1,200.
Ean Hutchison, 35, from Miamisburg, Ohio, was the first to see the voting machine on Goodwill’s website, CNN reports.
“AVALUE TECHNOLOGY Touch Panel SID-15V-Z37-B1R,” the ad for the machine read, along with photos of what the uninitiated might think was just a large monitor.
Hutchinson knew better and snapped up the machine in order to turn around and sell it on eBay.
His ad read:
“Own a piece of history! [...] This voting machine was one of thousands used in the 2020 United States presidential election and included in one of the many lawsuits against Dominion that were thrown out.”
Hutchinson ended up selling it for $1,200 to Harri Hursti in Connecticut, per CNN.
Hursti is a renowned election security specialist.
Once the machine arrived, he emailed the Michigan secretary of state’s office to tell them about it. He was told to keep the box sealed, and someone would pick it up.
According to CNN, a few days later, Hursti received an email from the secretary of state’s office that read, “Thank you again for bringing this to our attention [...] We have determined this device originated in one of our jurisdictions. The jurisdiction has now reported the device to law enforcement as stolen.”
“Video from surveillance cameras in Coffee County, Georgia, shows two members of a firm hired by Donald Trump’s attorneys, along with the head of the county Republican Party, entering an election office where voting machines were breached. At least two of those involved are also being investigated for reportedly breaching multiple voting machines in Michigan.”
Dominion Voting Systems launched a billion-dollar lawsuit against some of the right-wing outlets attacking the integrity of its voting equipment.
The New York Times reported recently that the “Dominion Voting case is not going away for Fox News as the voting machine company has been deposing on-air personalities while actively pursuing the discovery phase of their case.
One of those personalities is [Jeannine] Pirro. NPR got their hands on an email from a Fox News producer, and according to the report it shows the people behind the scenes knew exactly how toxic the on-air “talent” was regarding our democracy.”
