Convicted Felons, 'Shadowy Financiers' Own Companies Counting Votes

An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America’s “election services industry” has revealed that executives and owners of E S & S and Sequoia Pacific, the two largest companies, have been repeatedly convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states.
And while a felony conviction may be enough to prevent you from voting in Florida, convicted felons can take heart in the fact that the “blemish” on their record in no way disqualifies them from owning the companies counting the votes.
Is this another massive government 'cover-up?' It might be possibler to dismiss it as just a 'conspiracy theory'... except for the fact that the word ‘coverup’ itself was invented to describe the activities of the original owner of Sequoia Pacific, "shadowy financier" Lewis Wolfson, who got caught bribing no less a personage than a Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America.
While Abe Fortas was forced to resign in disgrace, no such harsh fate befell Wolfson.
When you own a company that counts the votes, politicians smile more kindly on you than they might otherwise... and for good reason.

"And while a felony conviction may be enough to prevent you from voting in Florida, convicted felons can take heart in the fact that the “blemish” on their record in no way disqualifies them from owning the companies counting the votes."

May I venture to add, it actually enhances your qualifications in bushworld?

So in case a whistleblower develops a conscience and starts to sing like a canary, then the bushies will sing back, "You can't trust a felon."
