The claim that Dominion employees in Serbia are remotely uploading 20,000-ballot cartridges into voting machines is contradicted by authoritative fact-checks and investigations that found no evidence of hacking or ballot injection. Sources confirm Dominion has Serbian developers and that the cartridge-load emails describe ordinary data-transfer problems, which does not make the alleged ballot manipulation true.

… Meanwhile, their emails show they have built first of all, the main development all takes place in Serbia they have built VPNs and access into these machines. There are virtual machines, virtual computers, in the machines, and they are absolutely engaged, from Serbia, in uploading cartridges of 20,000 ballots at a time.

Contradicts. PolitiFact debunked rumors that Dominion machines flipped votes, and the machines underwent a forensic audit confirming they were not hacked and a risk-limiting audit verifying accurate counts.[1]
Contradicts. Reuters reports that a federal investigation of Puerto Rico's Dominion machines found no trace of hacking, and that the probe into a 'discredited' theory of Venezuela-controlled malicious code produced nothing.[2]
Contradicts. Vreme reports that despite claims tying Serbian servers to stolen elections, there is no concrete evidence and courts established there never was any.[4]
Contradicts. Analysts found that claims Dominion machines were manipulated via the internet or by Serbian developers were not proven by the documents cited, and the company says over 99 percent of customers do not use external modems.[5]
Context. Dominion has used Serbian software developers and had an office in Serbia, which is documented, but this is not evidence of remote ballot uploading.[3][6]
Context. A social media post describing Belgrade engineers troubleshooting large cartridge loads into WinEDS for Chicago on Nov 3, 2020 characterizes the emails as capacity problems, not ballot injection; this unrated post is weak evidence.[7]
