It\u2019s quite a feat to have a politician call you a \u201cson of a bitch\u201d in a public hearing.\u00a0 But then-Smartmatic representative Heider Garcia accomplished this back in 2010 in the Congress of the Philippines.\u00a0 During the May 10th, 2010 elections, there was alleged issues with the Precinct Count Optical Scan machines.\u00a0 During a hearing to try and understand the issue, Representative Locsin told Garcia:<\/p>\n

Locsin: Your assurance was anything that happens between 7am and 7pm would be reflected as 7am to 7pm.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know that 7am to 7pm could be moved to 10 in the evening.\u00a0 You realize what a fool you have a made of the legislators who have passed this law?<\/p>\n

Garcia:\u00a0 I understand, sir.\u00a0 With all due respect, its an unforeseen situation.<\/p>\n

Locsin: Unforeseen?\u00a0 That was the principle guarantee, that this would be a honest election.\u00a0 That we would know digitially what would happen during election day and during the election hours.<\/p>\n

Garcia: And you do, sir, if I may\u2026<\/p>\n

Locsin: No, forget that.\u00a0 You sons of bitches.\u00a0 You had us standing here guaranteeing to the public and the world that even if fraud is committed, we would be able to trace it.\u00a0 We never said that fraud could not be committed.\u00a0 But you said we could trace it.\u00a0 And now you tell me that at 10 in the evening, you could do it and we would never know.\u00a0 Son of a bitch.<\/p>\n\n

After the hearing, Garcia would go on to work at Smartmatic for another six years.\u00a0 According to Garcia\u2019s Linkedin<\/a>, he served as a Software Engineer (2003-2005), a Native Solutions Deployment Coordinator (2005-2007), a Product Manager (2007-2012 and the time of the above-referenced hearing), and a Solution Manager (2012-2016).\u00a0 He also served as the Elections Manager in Placer County, CA from 2016-2018.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Garcia became the Elections Administrator in Tarrant County, TX.\u00a0 During Garcia\u2019s 5-year stint, before the 2020 Election, Tarrant County purchased new voting machines from Hart Intercivic for $11 million.\u00a0 In the 2020 Election, Tarrant County voted Democrat for the first time since 1964, <\/span>as reported by The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.\u00a0 Tarrant County was also the location of an expos\u00e9 from police body cam footage that showed a homeless man claiming former Tarrant County Democratic Party Chairwoman Deborah Peoples was involved in a ballot-harvesting operation.<\/a><\/p>\n

In June, Garcia resigned from his position as Tarrant County Elections Administrator, as also reported by The Gateway Pundit.<\/a><\/p>\n

After rumors about a potential job offering within the Texas Secretary of States Office, Garcia has now found himself serving as a \u201cSenior Subject Matter Expert\u201d at the Federal Elections Assistance Commission.\u00a0 From Garcia\u2019s Twitter:<\/p>\n

Monday is my first day as a Senior Subject Matter Expert with the Election Assistance Commission. I\u2019m thrilled to join a such a great team, and excited about the opportunity to continue contributing to fair and secure elections, this time at a national level.<\/p>\n
