The Deep State’s Prize Jewels are the Election Industrial Complex and Lack of Election Controls.
The Deep State relies on two key variables to ensure control over elections – the Elections Industrial Complex and the lack of election controls.
The Election Industrial Complex
While conservatives argue over whether we should vote early or on election day, the Election Industrial Complex is adding, deleting and managing entities that are clandestinely operating behind US elections.
A document produced by Higher Ground Labs entitled the – 2022 Political Tech Landscape Report – outlines what we have labeled the Election Industrial Complex (see document at the end of this article.)
This document begins with an introduction and summary of the results of the 2022 election using the left’s bastardization of the word “democracy” and projection of their communist actions upon those who want fair and transparent elections (emphasis added):
Voter suppression and 2020 election deniers presented onerous challenges in 2022, with active efforts to attack vote by-mail, close polling places, harass nonpartisan election administrators, and spread misinformation in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and beyond. Technology is playing an increasingly important role in supporting coordinated responses to attacks on democracy, from refining message development to enhancing on-the-ground organizing to informing and protecting voters.
Higher Ground Labs claims its mission is as follows:
Higher Ground Labs is a startup accelerator and venture fund. We support startups building technology that helps candidates win.
Higher Ground Labs created and published its 2022 report that describes its landscape and connections in the election industry complex. This document outlines the many initiatives, connections and activities it is involved in and the players it interacts with to ensure radical far-left and increasingly communist anti-American Democrats win elections.
This landscape involves “non-profits” and publicly traded companies which prevent the public from requesting information that would be required to be provided by the government in FOIA requests.
The heart and soul of the landscape is the Data Analytics and Modeling framework identified in the middle of the diagram above.
The entire landscape appears to revolve around real-time advanced communications which is why the Data Analytics and Modeling framework is so important. Similar to military operations, accurate up-to-date information is the key. This also can be the landscape’s Achilles heel. It’s difficult to obtain up-to-date information in complex organizations.
In the military, operation fusion centers are the hub of information management. With good information, a fusion center can tell you where to focus and where to make command decisions. Authentic information in a military operation is beneficial while inauthentic information can lead to your death.
In the fog of war, if you can present an environment that is believable then you can leverage it to win.
The Data Analytics and Modeling framework lists a number of entities but it omits those that have been identified since the 2020 Election. ERIC, Dominion, BPro, KNOWiNK, CIS and other entities are omitted.
Like a military operation, the placement of the commander is hidden at all times. Critical components in this framework, like the entities mentioned above are not identified in the framework because they are so key. Data Analytics and Modeling relies on these entities for up-to-date information coming from these key entities.
The landscape includes segments and related entities used to manipulate Democrat election wins. This landscape includes the Democrat owned media and digital content using entities like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many more. Notably, these social media giants are referred to as “Owned Media”.
The biggest concern of the Left in the report is that messaging about the stolen 2020 Election was allowed on social media. No discussion of the massive Censorship Industrial Complex is mentioned. Also, no discussion of the mountains of evidence proving the 2020 Election never should have been certified is mentioned.
The truth doesn’t appear to be necessary. Trust is not an issue. Money runs the operation and messages that aren’t consistent with the Election Complex Industry are attacked through the Censorship Industrial Complex.
The fundraising landscape includes ActBlue, Stripe and Bonterra. The landscape shares the following about ActBlue:
Once again, ActBlue helped funnel billions of dollars to Democratic campaigns and causes throughout the 2022 cycle. The platform processed $3.5 billion to 27,305 campaigns and organizations. These contributions came from 7.4 million unique donors who, in tandem, made 86 million individual contributions; their average donation size was $40.05. In comparison to the 2018 midterm cycle, the total number of contributions and dollars raised doubled, reflecting both the growth of the Party’s small dollar donor base and the sense of urgency felt across this cycle to take action in response to unprecedented challenges to our long held freedoms.
This document omits evidence that shows that millions in these “donations” are coming from “donor mules” with many of these individuals unemployed and unaware that their name is being used to launder money to the Democrat Party. Of course, this type of information is omitted from this landscape because it is criminal.
Other frameworks within the Election Industrial Complex are also discussed in the document below that is referred to above – 2022 Political Tech Landscape Report – from Higher Ground Labs.

While the GOP is debating whether to vote in person or vote early, the communists on the far-left are working on new entities and activities within their Political Industrial Complex to ensure a Democrat win in November 2024.
Lack of Election Controls
In the corporate world all controls related to the financial reporting process are inventoried and tested annually. For multi-national companies this can mean over 1,000 controls are tested each year. Testing is performed by internal and external auditors all year long. If a control is not in place, not working, or designed poorly, the control issues are addressed and the control is retested at year-end. ALL KEY CONTROLS must be in place and working properly before the external auditor will sign off on a company’s financials reported to the public.
In contrast, in the US election process, only one-third of all controls are in place. The US election process is a disaster.
A group of election experts and professionals from various fields performed an analysis of the controls necessary to be in place to ensure accurate and secure elections. This group which labels itself FATE2024 performed its work over the past few months.
FATE2024 identified 14 key processes that are part of US elections. Below is a list of these processes:
- Voter Registration
- Voter Roll Maintenance
- Ballot Printing
- Vote by Mail
- Vote in Person
- Physical Security
- Reporting Results
- Election Certification
- Ballot Storage and Maintenance
- System Security
- Election Donations
- Election Facility Management
- Selection of Election Personnel
- Effective Governance
Within these 14 processes, 100 subprocesses were defined. Next over 500 detailed controls were identified in total in these subprocesses. Per the analysis of these controls, only 36% of the controls identified were in place!
In the corporate world, financial controls are defined as follows:
Financial controls are the procedures, policies, and means by which an organization monitors and controls the direction, allocation, and usage of its financial resources. Financial controls are at the very core of resource management and operational efficiency in any organization.
As noted above, all controls related to financial reporting in an organization are tested annually to determine they are working as intended. External auditors rely on the results of this work in their annual audits of financial statements. ALL key controls must be in place.
Things are much, much different with US elections. Examples of four controls identified that are necessary to be in place in the voter registration process are: verification of citizenship; verification of residency; verification of identity; and verification of eligibility. If these controls are not in place, individuals can vote in an election who are not eligible to vote.
FATE2024 determined that today there are many ways that non-citizens can register to vote. In addition chain of custody is missing and systems are not secure throughout the election process.
Unfortunately, in the US hundreds of controls are absent throughout the election process.
