Sens. Ron Wyden (Ore.), [[Elizabeth Warren]] (Mass.), and [[Amy Klobuchar]] (Minn.), along with Rep. [[Mark Pocan]] (Wisc.), wrote a joint letter to [[Dominion Election Systems]] in December 2019 warning that use of the company’s voting machines resulted in “switching votes” and other “undisclosed vulnerabilities” that “threaten the integrity of our [[election]]s.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/democratic-senators-warned-of-potential-vote-switching-by-dominion-voting-machines-prior-to-2020-election</ref>
{{quotebox-float|In 2018 alone "voters in [[South Carolina]] [were] reporting machines that switched their votes after they'd inputted them, scanners [were] rejecting paper ballots in Missouri, and busted machines [were] causing long lines in [[Indiana]]." In addition, researchers recently uncovered previously undisclosed vulnerabilities in "nearly three dozen backend election systems in 10 states." And, just this year, after the Democratic candidate's electronic tally showed he received an improbable 164 votes out of 55,000 cast in a [[Pennsylvania]] state judicial election in 2019, the county's [[Republican]] Chairwoman said, "[n]othing went right on Election Day. Everything went wrong. That's a problem." These problems threaten the integrity of our elections and demonstrate the importance of election systems that are strong, durable, and not vulnerable to attack.<ref>https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/H.I.G.%20McCarthy,%20&%20Staple%20Street%20letters.pdf</ref>}}
''Bloomberg'' quoted Democrat Sen. Wyden saying,
{{quotebox-float|“The maintenance of Americans’ constitutional rights should not depend on the good graces and sketchy [[ethics]] of a handful of well-connected [[corporation]]s like ES&S who have stonewalled Congress, lied to Congress, have questionable judgment when it comes to security, and have repeatedly gouged [[taxpayer]]s.”<ref>https://about.bgov.com/news/voting-machine-firms-add-lobbyists-amid-election-hacker-concerns/</ref>}}
