A conflict of interest occurs when an entity or individual becomes unreliable because of a clash between personal (or self-serving) interests and professional duties or responsibilities. Such a conflict occurs when a company or person has a vested interest—such as money, status, knowledge, relationships, or reputation—which puts into question whether their actions, judgment, and/or decision-making can be unbiased. When such a situation arises, the party is usually asked to remove themselves, and it is often legally required of them.

Another example of "Broken Windows"
Voting machine vendor treated election officials to trips to Vegas, elsewhere
"The nation’s largest voting equipment vendor has for at least nine years coaxed state and local elections officials to serve on an “advisory board” that gathers twice annually for company-sponsored conferences, including one last year at a ritzy Las Vegas resort hotel.
The arrangement could compromise the integrity of the officials' decisions — or at the very least, the optics of those decisions — at a time when they are faced with efforts by Russia and perhaps other nations to disrupt the upcoming mid-term elections, ethics and elections experts said.
As many as a dozen election officials attended the March 2, 2017 Las Vegas meeting, with a number of them accepting airfare, lodging, meals and, according to one participant, a ticket to a show on the Strip from their voting systems vendor, Nebraska-based Election Systems and Software (ES&S). Two other panel members said their state election boards paid for their trips.
The unusual practice, which has not previously been reported, offers a glimpse of one way in which a voting equipment manufacturer has sought to cement relationships with government officials, some of whom play roles in the award of millions of dollars in contracts.
Ethics experts and election watchdogs say the company's hospitality and hobnobbing with government officials is potentially corrupting."
NAH! ...
Adjudication please!
This may be the very moment Arizona died. Board of Supervisor Chucri joins pal Eric Coomer to discuss the need for electronic adjudication and to pass SB 1135. Notice at this point they already chose Dominion before electronic adjudication was legal in Arizona. We also get an appearance by the League of Woman Voters. Their platform is the most progressive and hard leftist views out there. This should have been a huge red flag.

It appears they are all the same company or all have relationships with each other.
