A group run by former Trump campaign officials sued an Ohio county for allegedly violating state law when they considered purchasing voting equipment last year.
The group, Look Ahead America, said that the Stark County Board of Elections âwas not transparentâ in its decision to purchase voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems, adding that its process in making the decision was not âopen to the public.â
âRight before voting on the contract with Dominion,â Look Ahead Americaâs Matt Braynard said in a news release on Tuesday, âthe board excluded the public for 18 minutes from their discussion and deliberations. Nothing necessitated the publicâs exclusion.â
Braynard contended that Stark County âcontinued to exclude the public when discussing the contractâ with the Denver-based voting machine manufacturer.
As a result, according to Braynard, Stark Countyâs Board of Elections violated Ohioâs Open Meetings Act by not allowing the publicâs participation in the meeting.
In December, the board voted to move ahead with a $1.5 million purchase of new machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems, saying that it reviewed and rejected post-Nov. 3 election allegations against the companyâs machines. Members of the elections board argued it followed state law in voting to adopt the Dominion machines.
But Braynard contended that for months after the decision, Stark County âcontinued to exclude the public when discussing the contract with Dominion.â
âThatâs not consistent with both the letter and spirit of Ohioâs Open Meetings Act and we are going to get justice for the residents of Stark County Ohio,â Braynard remarked. âFurther, we are determined to ensure that any voting equipment purchased relies on open source software and hardware. This will restore trust, lower election costs, and create home state jobs for Clark County elections.
Earlier this month, the Stark County elections board sued the state of Ohio to force the county to buy the machines based on the elections board recommendation. Without such action, the board claimed, the machines wonât be available in time for the general election in November.
Without new voting machines, the suit said, âThe Board of Elections will have to continue to use its old machines that break down more often and are becoming increasingly expensive to fix as replacement parts are harder to obtain; this will cost more of the Stark County taxpayersâ dollars.â
The Epoch Times has contacted Stark County and Dominion for comment.
According to Look Ahead Americaâs website, itâs a group that was âcreated by over thirty former Trump for President campaign staffers.â Braynard, meanwhile, was the former director of Data and Strategy for former President Donald Trumpâs successful 2016 campaign.

The bottom line is for the people to regain their original, moral principles, which have intentionally been watered out over the past generations by our press, TV, and other media owned by the Illuminati/Bilderberger Group, corrupting our morals by making misbehaviour acceptable to our society. Only in this way shall we conquer this oncoming wave of evil.
