Eric Coomer: Former Dominion VP & Sleaze Ball
Coomer seems to tell falsehoods very easily. As evidence, see this 15 minute video, where he lies to police regarding an accident he had with his truck. He finally confesses after (apparently) being placed in handcuffs. https://www.worldtribune.com/who-is-eric-coomer-part-ii-bizarre-arrest-video-of-dominion-voting-exec-in-colorado/.
On January 18, 2024, an amazing demonstration of Dominion’s “quality” engineering was given in the federal courtroom of Judge Amy Totenberg. A highly respected computer specialist, J. Alex Halderman, borrowed an attorney’s BIC pen and used it to alter a Dominion voting machine. It took Halderman about 5 seconds to change the outcome of a hypothetical election, and to change the total number of votes.
Finally, there is solid evidence supporting some of the computer-related claims of Mike Lindell and President Trump. The demonstration doesn’t prove that Dominion machines were used to alter election results, but it does prove that Dominion makes a second-rate product that is highly susceptible to manipulation. And, Halderman’s demonstration renews concerns about another actor in this saga: former Dominion executive and whack-job, Eric Coomer.
“Don’t worry about the election. Trump’s not gonna win. I made f**king sure of that!”
According to former tech CEO, Joe Oltmann, those words (or something very similar) were spoken by Eric Coomer, a former VP of Product Strategy and Security for Dominion Voting Systems, a company that maintains voting machines in several U.S. states.1
Oltmann, the founder and leader of a conservative civic organization, had been receiving much hate and vitriol from several people he believed to be journalists, so he decided to electronically infiltrate the group, using his hi-tech cyber skills. He claims that he found a way to listen to something that turned out to be an Antifa audioconference. In an interview recorded on video by Michelle Malkin, Oltmann described what he heard:2
I got on this call, and in this call you hear all this “fascist, fascist, fascist, fascist,” all this stuff that’s going on . . . and so I listened for a while and then somebody named Eric came on and started, started talking . . . and so as he starts to talk, someone says, “Who’s Eric?” and then someone answers: “Eric is the Dominion guy.”
[Eric] keeps speaking and then someone interrupts and says “What we gonna do if f**king Trump wins?” And uh he responds with, and I’m going to paraphrase because obviously I didn’t write exactly what he wrote uh is ‘Don’t worry about the election. Trump is not going to win. I made f**king sure of that’” [sic].
By Googling the key words, Eric, Dominion, and Denver Colorado (where the call allegedly took place), Joe Oltmann determined that the voice belonged to someone named Eric Coomer, but at first he could not believe he had the right guy.
The Eric Coomer who was revealed through the Google search was an executive with Dominion, owned Dominion stock and key patents, and had a Ph.D. in nuclear physics. It didn’t make sense to Oltmann that a guy with those credentials was hanging out with Antifa. So, Oltmann set the matter aside, and forgot all about it until several weeks later — after the November 2020 election. That is when someone sent him an article about election problems in Georgia.
As Joe Oltmann read the article, the names “Dominion” and “Eric Coomer” popped out and rang a bell. After some additional research, Oltmann concluded that the crazy Antifa Eric and the respectable Dominion Eric had to be the same person. Coomer denies that he was on that conference call but his denial is highly suspect, in light of his social postings and the statements he made in a subsequent deposition.3
Coomer’s social media postings are reflected in screenshots obtained by Oltmann — shortly before Coomer had them all (over eighty) removed. Since the screenshots are difficult to read, transcriptions are provided:
Transcription of July 21, 2016 Facebook posting by Eric Coomer:
If you are planning to vote for that autocratic, narcissistic, fascist ass-hat blowhard and his christian jihadist VP pic, UNFRIEND ME NOW! NO, I’m not joking. . . . Only an absolute F**KING IDIOT could ever vote for that wind-bag f**k-tard FASCIST RACIST F**K! No bullshit. I don’t give a damn if you’re friend, family, or random acquaintance. Pull the lever, mark an oval, touch a screen for that carnival barker. UNFRIEND ME NOW. I have no desire whatsoever to ever interact with you.
Here is a transcription of a July 9, 2017 Facebook posting:
Ah . . . Texas . . . The land of racists, idiots, and mysoginists. In two hours I’ve heard, “what’s wrong wif hav’n a ralationship with another powr’ful kuntry (Russia)?” I luuuv trump”, “goddamn Wimmen jus’ dun know hor’ ta liss’n”, “ya know darling, you’re pretty, wish I didn’t have to tip you. Them robots is comin” [sic].4
Perhaps the Secret Service should have investigated Coomer for posting the image in the figure below.5
There is much more evidence. In September 2021, Eric Coomer filed a defamation lawsuit against Oltmann, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and several news journalists and news organizations. The defendants deposed Eric Coomer on September 23, 2021, at which time he made several surprising statements, under oath. For example, he claimed that he does not know what “Prez” means in his “Dead Prez” posting.6
Another Coomer posting (not displayed here) is captioned: “Oi polloi, pigs for slaughter.” When deposed, Coomer claimed (under oath) that he was not sure if pigs referred to the police or to real pigs in a slaughter house.7
In the deposition, Coomer was asked if it was appropriate for an executive in his fifties to post something that says, “F**K the U.S.A.” His response was that he was only forty-nine when he posted it. When asked if he thinks “the cops are “motherf**king villains,” Coomer replied, “In certain aspects, yes.”8
Coomer’s testimony revealed that he had lied in a December 8, 2020 Denver Post Op-Ed, where he stated that he had no social media accounts, and “these individuals are impersonating me.” Coomer also stated: “I want to be very clear: I have no connection to the Antifa movement.” It appears that was also a lie.9
Coomer, the oxymoronic Antifa spokesman
Eric Coomer issued a statement from Antifa, to tell the world that there is no such thing! In his posting (only a brief excerpt is shown below), he either makes an Antifa statement or reposts one (not clear which). He addresses the statement to “Mr. Trump” (Figure 2).10
Excerpt of message from Antifa (the organization that does not exist?)
From all of these postings and from the responses made in his deposition, it is crystal clear that Eric Coomer has warm feelings for the “nonexistent” Antifa. For this reason, it seems very likely (to me) that this former Dominion executive was the voice heard by Joe Oltmann in the Antifa conference call. And there is more.11
In his deposition Coomer does not dispute that Oltmann made a Google search for his name (and for the words, Dominion and Denver), just as Joe Oltmann told Michelle Malkin in her video interview. That was on September 26, 2020— well before the election and before Trump’s resultant loss. If Oltmann had not heard the words Eric and Dominion in a conversation, why would he be searching for those words in September 2020?12
Coomer corruption is possible
It is obvious that Eric Coomer hated Donald Trump, and it seems probable (to me) that he made the statements described by Oltmann. Coomer had the technical knowledge required to alter Dominion machines, he reportedly had access to at least some of the machines on or before Election Day, and he presumably had lots of friends who could be used to harvest ballots to be used as “backfill” (i.e., to make sure the paper ballot count would match the altered machine totals).
J. Alex Halderman, a cyber expert, demonstrated that a pen can be used to alter the number of votes and to alter the winner of an election - in seconds. Presumably, that security weakness would be known by Dominion’s head of machine security (Coomer).
For these reasons, I believe it is possible that Coomer altered 2020 election data. However, it is not proven that he did this, or that he was even capable of altering election information. And, if he made outrageous statements, perhaps he did so to impress his (Antifa?) friends.
Is Amy Totenberg a hero?
Finally, I am glad that the judge did the right thing by releasing the Halderman report, and by allowing him to demonstrate the severe weaknesses in Dominion’s machine. However, Judge Totenberg allowed political considerations to affect her decisions for far too long. For this reason, she needs to resign from the bench.
Halderman produced his report years ago, but Judge Totenberg kept it under lock and key because she fretted that the wrong types of people might benefit from it - legally and politically.
As the Daily Beast reported in January 2022:
She has kept a report on a theoretical voting machine flaw - authored by a respected computer researcher - secret since last summer, citing concerns that releasing the report would fuel conspiracy theories about voting machines and the 2020 U.S. election…
The judge remarked: “I’m unhappy about the course of political treatment of the report…it’s out of hand…”13
No doubt, Totenberg worried that disclosure of the report might help “election fraud deniers” and/or people like Mike Lindell, Fox News, and President Trump, who were in a legal struggle with Dominion Voting Systems. It is absolutely disgraceful for a judge to rule with an eye on politics, but it is not at all surprising in today’s America. A corrupt judiciary is not the exception: It has become the rule.
Until just after the election, Coomer had been listed on the web as an officer of Dominion. However, after the election controversies emerged, his name was removed.

It took me a while, but I finally realized that much of what happens in court is literally just the judge’s opinion. In most cases, there is simply no objective “truth” that can be found in the law. This is even more true when there is no shared culture.
Wow what a deranged POS.
Good article Joe!
