>I see. Thanks. Before you pointing out that you have high confidence the person should be "Dennis Montgomery" I cannot see the relation. If so, those links are indeed related :)

Some additional information regarding the affadavit you referenced. It's a blog post[0] from the developer of the tool used in documenting the "evidence" contained therein.

Just to clarify, I didn't go looking for this. I ran across it while perusing the "new" submissions here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=smicallef).

Hey, thanks for the reference link from medium. That's a pretty good write up. I learned a lot. The author seems a bit biased though, when he claim quite strongly that: "Therefore, all the claims in the report about dominionvotingsystems.com — while potentially valid — have nothing to do with dominionvoting.com." After stating some of his own findings. I somehow feel like it's a hard sell to me that dominionvotingsystems.com is absolutely not related to dominionvoting.com given the name. And the fact that they used to redirect back in 2011 add some probability of the relation, however small probability you would weigh in for that addition. The changed of hands from Canada to US and back to China, does not reduce the chance of relation. If may increase the chance of relation given the company's footprint.

In sum, I can now see that this affidavit drew weak connections and made strong conclusions. So the credibility of the allegation is not that high. But to be fair to the person, it is court filing and he will be accountable for lying.
