The super PAC went thru several name changes:
National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee -> The 2016 Committee -> Stars and Stripes Forever PAC
🔥The most explosive finding here is the last footnote here... that, by the time the citizen received an e-mail from the Carson PAC on 9/16/15, the PAC already reported 11,000 itemized donations!
This means Robinson had e-mails and personal info of up to at least 11,000 people!
Lastly, Ben Carson's "authorized committee," Carson America, used the PAC's "email list on a rental basis," which explains why they sent an email to the citizen on 11/16/15.
This proves Robinson's PAC collected info on its donors and rented their donor/email list out to Carson!
And, to drive it all home again, Ron Robinson worked with Yandex (Russia's "Google"
, cryptocurrency, and set up email servers for his clients to bypass @NSAGov and to be "subpoena resistant."
McConnell & Gingrich are also alleged clients of his!

Here it is.
This site is owned/run by a leading GOP digital operative. He runs systems on servers physically located in Russia, and advertised it.
Mitch McConnell is a client. Ben Carson is a client. Gingrich is a client. And many more.

Keep in mind:
Robinson had "over 100" GOP clients, so he would have data on more than 11,000 people.
Above is solid documentation filed w/ the FEC that would support 11,000 at a minimum... but this is only for Carson's PAC and only prior to Sep 2015.

But don't you DARE say they switched/rigged any votes. That would be untoward. nt

Just had a thought about how easy it might be to forge vote cards in advance then switch?
