After weeks of negative press coverage regarding election machine performance and integrity,   Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos has offered to testify in Michigan. 

The state has been a hotbed of controversy after the Nov. 3 election with the Trump campaign lobbing several, as of yet unproven, accusations of wrongdoing. 

"I appreciate the opportunity to correct the baseless and defamatory claims being made about our systems. They are harmful not only to Dominion, but also to the countless hardworking election officials across the State, as well all Michigan public officials elected through a fair process," Poulos wrote in a letter obtained by the Detroit Free Press. 

Committees in each of Michigan's legislative bodies are looking into allegations of voter irregularities. 

House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R-Levering) noted the House may seek to subpoena Dominion executives. 

The machines were reported to have switched votes from Trump to Joe Biden, in one case by a swing of 6,000 in a single county. 

Security expert James Ramsland previously said Dominion machines were linked to spikes in unexplained data elsewhere in the state. 

In all, he questioned 295,000 votes.

Biden was certified the winner of the state by a margin of 154,188 votes.

A Dominion contractor working on election day also came forward alleging several ballots were scanned multiple times.

“I witnessed countless workers rescanning the batches without discarding them first which resulted in ballots being counted 4-5 times,” Mellisa Carone, who worked with Dominion Voting Systems as an IT assistant during the election, wrote in an affidavit.

Voting machine companies are largely unregulated and tend to have a secretive nature.  

Some are also questioning Dominion Voting Systems in Georgia’s election.

The designer of the first computerized voting system criticized the modern voting systems created for their vulnerabilities.
