Edward County Watchdogs Inc, a local newspaper in Illinois, published an article on Jan 15, 2021, about Dominion Voting Systems\u2019 contract, especially a clause which had to do about covering information from the public.<\/p>\n
Customer\u00a0shall take any and all action necessary or appropriate to assert<\/strong>\u00a0all applicable\u00a0or potentially applicable exemptions from disclosure<\/strong>\u00a0under the FOIA Statute and\u00a0take all other legally permissible steps to resist disclosure of the Information<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
Page 4, Section 8 Washington Radar [1]<\/sup><\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In the contract, it says to contact Dominion Voting Systems if someone requests information and to resist giving information. As the Watchdog group said, “we find the Dominion Voting Systems encouragements to avoid transparency very troubling.” So it should. When an agreement is made between public officials, DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek and her Chief Deputy Scott Mackay, and a private company, Dominion Voting Systems Inc., it is important for the public to know what is being done.<\/p>\n
The Watchdog group also said, “There are exemptions under FOIA regarding trade secrets and we understand such exemptions and their applicability to certain information.” [2]<\/sup><\/a> which is understandable if you work for something you don’t want people to just request and steal it. In the contract, it is not just saying to not disclose trade secrets, but to not disclose anything.<\/p>\n
