[quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this.   A Russian oligarch purchased the vendor platform back in 2015, and in the 2016 election, the FBI noted some suspicious activity in Maryland.   Although ultimately, nothing came of that.   Frosh is looking into it now.   But it does matter when we have a MoCo race as tight as 80 votes and a Baltimore County race as tight as 9 votes.

"State officials say they were told they were told their voter registration system, ByteGrid LLC, is financed by AltPoint Capital Partners, whose fund manager is "a Russian" and largest investor is Russian oligarch Vladimir Potanin. ByteGrid LLC performs a vast array of voting-related functions for the state, including voter registration, the state's online voter registration system, online ballot delivery and unofficial election night results.

"While the FBI did not indicate that there was a breach, we were concerned enough to ask Attorney General [Brian] Frosh to review the existing contractual obligation of the state, as well as asked for a review of the system to ensure there have been no breaches," Miller and Busch said."
