Representatives from Dominion Voting Systems were scheduled to appear before a Pennsylvania House Committee today before they abruptly cancelled their appearance, raising eyebrows as Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell accuses them of cooperating with communist regimes to steal millions of votes from President Donald Trump and deliver them to Joe Biden.
Last night it was reported that Dominion would renege on its previous promise to speak to Pennsylvania legislators, prompting the Pennsylvania House GOP to declare a press conference where they publicly levied their claims and concerns about Dominion.
State Rep. Seth Grove, who serves as the State Government Committee Chair, told viewers that “the members of the State Government Committee were looking forward to publicly addressing the plethora of accusations against Dominion Voting Systems in a format which would have offered open and honest dialogue,” and he “was impressed” by Dominion’s initial “willingness of Dominion Voting Systems to address accusations.”

“It would have put 1.3 million Pennsylvanians who used their machines at ease, including myself,” noted Grove. “Thinking Dominion was willing to publicly back up their product, which Pennsylvania taxpayers invested millions to purchase and voters entrusted with their sacred ballots was truly remarkable. I truly felt Pennsylvanians and the nation could get some answers about the truth of effectiveness of Dominion Voting Systems.”
“Unfortunately last evening, Dominion Voting Systems lawyered up, and backed out of their commitment to the people of Pennsylvania,” Grove added. Late last night it was reported that Dominion abruptly cancelled its appearance before the Pennsylvania House State Government Committee and was attaining legal representation.
“Instead of running toward a light of honesty and integrity, Dominion Voting Systems retreated to the darkness,” said Grove. “Why? Why Would a vendor of public goods fear discussing their products, sold to the public for the public good? If Dominion’s products were successful and operate as they’re supposed to, why wouldn’t Dominion take the opportunity to publicly review its success? How hard is it to say, ‘Our ballot machines worked exactly as promised, and they are 100% accurate'”
Grove then said that, despite his initial willingness to believe Dominion’s side of the story, their behavior has added credibility to the accusations made by Powell and Trump’s legal team.
Grove: I was happy that Dominion Voting Systems had been ready to discuss their voting systems that 1.3. million Pennsylvanians trusted in casting their vote. Last night, they canceled their planned participation in today's hearing.

“Why, after weeks of accusations, has Dominion Voting Systems not released any analysis of the success of their voting machines to the public?” Grove continued, “If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding from us?”
“Today I am saddened to report to the taxpayers of Pennsylvania and the 1.3 million voters who trusted Dominion Voting Systems with their ballots that Dominion Voting Systems has hung you out to dry and slapped you in your faces.”
“Not only are Pennsylvanians more skeptical, but the actions of Dominion Voting Systems last night have led credibility to the accusers’ accusations.”
