Reply #111: I haven't looked into it, therefore I have "no evidence" of CIA agents

The part about vendor funding of ESI is true according to John Gideon at Votersunite, however.

I think when people make claims about "no evidence" they should identify what search they've done on the subject and what evidence has been directly reviewed:

Answer: re specifically the existence of covert agents at Voting Vendors:
Search: None.
DOcuments reviewed: None.
Strength of "no evidence" conclusion: Therefore, none.
Motivation to find or expose: Reasonably good (but irrelevant in light of negative answers above)

Most of the people claiming "no evidence" for this or that fail the "motivation to find or expose" test, if not all of the above tests.

Now that being said, I'm told that there are certain (not only software) but hardware backdoors built into computer chips for "national security" purposes that our spooks have access to. So it's a reasonable inference that there are methods available to a person or persons with enough knowledge or access. Certainly fly by night's info on a recent thread is that vendors ADMIT that they have two way wireless communication capabilities not sought or needed.
