To the editor:

Have you heard of SCYTL?

If you live in Wood County, you might want to check them out.

I went on the Wood County Election Administrator’s website to see what voting machines were being used. I was surprised when I noticed a red banner at the bottom of the page that said, “Powered by Scytl” (elections.mywoodcounty.com). Alarms went off because I had seen that acronym on video and in online articles where all the hoopla was going on about the election fraud that allegedly took place in the 2020 general election. So I decided to check them out.

When I follow the threads to attempt to verify information via official publicly available documents or statements on their own company/subsidiary website, the results are cause for concern. The web of companies which are connected include companies which develop voting systems, software, hardware, testing and certification. These things include election management, education, machines, counting, tallying and reporting of election results. It’s a vast network of interconnected companies.

And they do this globally. Many of the companies/corporations that are involved with our elections are subsidiaries of foreign companies/corporations. Their corporate headquarters are located in Spain, Canada and other countries as well. Foreign companies buy out or start companies in the U.S. They establish U.S. headquarters domestically, but still are owned or overseen by their foreign owners/counterparts. You really have to be diligent with your research to make all of the connections because each website looks pretty benign.

My research is ongoing. It is a deep dive and I learn some new alarming details every day. There is so much more to this, but I felt compelled to let our community know about it now rather than wait until I’m finished. Perhaps you will take a look for yourself.
