6705 Odyssey Drive, Where Your Vote Is Certified and Missiles Are Built
An exposé into the Huntsville facility linking voting machine certification to the military-industrial complex.
After my last report, I kept coming back to something small. It was one of those details that at first seems too mundane to matter. But the longer I sat with it, the more important it became.
6705 Odyssey Drive, Huntsville, AL, 45806./
That is the official address for Pro V&V, INC. They’re located in Suite C of the building according to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC). This building one of only two testing centers in the country trusted to certify the very machines that count our votes.
As we’ve all recently discovered in my last article, this private election certification lab is owned and operated by none other than ex-CIBER employee, Jack Cobb. His legal name Ryan Jackson Cobb.
At first, I assumed Pro V&V was simply leasing space there. But no, it’s much more than that. After purchasing property records from the Alabama Secretary of State, I discovered that 6705 Odyssey Drive was purchased for $2,450,000.00 in June 2019 through a shell company called ProCOG, LLC.
The deal to purchase the building was done through Maynard, Cooper & Gale (now Maynard-Nexus), a Republican law firm whose PAC, funded by its own employees, operates as a quiet extension of its donor base. According to Open Secrets, they spend hundreds of thousands each year on the GOP. Their client list spans defense, energy, finance, and Big Tech. There are also some ties to the federalist society, but we will talk about that another time.
This law firm also represented Trump’s 2016 campaign in Alabama, when it was sued for inciting violence against a Black protester at a rally.
I kept searching to find who owned it.
Can you imagine my shock when public records led me to who actually owned this shell company? Mr. Jack Cobb himself.
According to the deed, he doesn’t just own suite C. He owns the entire building.
The site spans 6.2 acres and includes a 22,672-square-foot building. Inside, there’s 15,132 square feet of office space, a 2,100-square-foot assembly area, and a 5,440-square-foot high bay with 45-foot ceilings. The building is fully climate-controlled, wired with 3-phase electrical power, and equipped with two backup generators.. the kind used to keep operations running through blackouts or technical failures.
This isn’t a strip mall office with a drop ceiling and a fax machine.
At first, that seemed like the end of the trail.
Jack Cobb had bought the building. He’d done it through a shell company. He used a politically connected law firm with a long history of representing GOP interests and federal contractors. That alone should have raised eyebrows.
But the more I looked into where this building actually sits, the more obvious it became that this wasn’t just a matter of ownership. It was intentional.
This multi-suite building? It’s one of many buildings in Cummings Research Park. This is the second-largest research park in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. It’s the Silicon Valley of military contractors.
It was built, quite literally, to house Department of Defense contractors working on missile systems, satellite payloads, and classified defense infrastructure.
This is the place where $849.8 billion of our tax dollars will go to die this year.
Raytheon has space there. Boeing does too. So does Lockheed Martin. SAIC (yes, the same SAIC that a now disgraced ex-CIBER employee Shawn Southworth works at, allegedly). Northrop Grumman. Leidos. And a dozen lesser-known firms whose names only appear in procurement filings and defense subcontracts.
And now, tucked among the missile designers and space surveillance firms, sits a voting machine certification lab owned by a man who has spent his entire career inside this exact world from his time at CIBER, INC to Wyle Laboratories to KBR to now inside Pro V&V.
Here’s where things get even more twisted:
Using Google Maps, I discovered that in November 2023, the building at 6705 Odyssey Drive — the same building owned by Jack Cobb — was labeled location for Dynetics, Inc. This wasn’t speculation. This is a live listing, publicly visible, and timestamped while Cobb owned the property.
Now, this isn’t from before he took ownership in 2019. By that point, he had held the deed for over four years. We also know from EAC documents sourced in the previous article, that Jack Cobb had moved Pro V&V into this building at this point, too.
So, what exactly is Dynetics?
They’re a Huntsville-based defense contractor that builds things like missiles, hypersonic weapons, radar systems, and even space warfare tools. Their clients include DARPA, NASA, and the U.S. military. In 2020, they were bought for $1.65 billion by Leidos, a huge government contractor.
And Leidos is no small player.
They make over $15 billion a year, and work across everything from cybersecurity and surveillance to military logistics and intelligence systems. They have contracts with the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Department of Energy, and even NASA.
They are one of the most powerful private companies working inside the U.S. government.
And here’s the thing: even though Dynetics and Leidos do not publicly list 6705 Odyssey Drive as their location, we can clearly see images from 2023 showed Dynetics operating out of Cobb’s building.
So when Dynetics was occupying part of that facility, they were doing it on property owned by the man certifying our voting machines at the same time he was there certifying changes to our election machines.
The connections go even deeper.
SAIC, the company that Leidos originally came from, is located within walking distance of Cobb’s building in Cummings Research Park. The proximity isn’t just geographical. It’s historical.
Because remember, who else (per LinkedIn) works at SAIC now? Shawn Southworth.
Yes, the same Shawn Southworth who oversaw testing at CIBER Inc., the lab that was caught certifying changes on federal voting machines without proper audits or documentation. The same lab that Cobb worked as a project manager on.
The same Southworth who disappeared from public view after CIBER lost its federal accreditation. The same man who, records suggest, helped shape Jack Cobb’s entire approach to election system “certification.”
Cobb and Southworth didn’t just work together. They moved in sync across the same series of labs.. CIBER, Wyle, and now seemingly both in the orbit of SAIC and Leidos. Don’t forget, during their time at CIBER, reports suggest that they did so while election vendors like Diebold and ES&S paid them for results. Not testing. Not security. Just approval.
And now? They’ve come full circle. So now we have:
Jack Cobb owning a facility that may have housed a weapons contractor
A voting lab inside that building, certifying changes to election systems
Dynetics listed at the same address
Southworth working nearby at SAIC, inside the same military park
All of this operating inside a taxpayer-funded zone created for federal defense contractors
Of course, there’s another layer to this: politics.
Leidos and SAIC are not just contractors. They are heavy political players. Both companies spend millions each election cycle lobbying Congress and federal agencies. And according to federal filings, their donations are not balanced. The money consistently leans Republican.
Leidos PACs gave more than 60 percent of their contributions to Republican candidates in recent election cycles. SAIC is similar.
These are companies that benefit when Republican administrations support military expansion, private contracting, and reduced oversight.
In fact, under the current Trump administration, Leidos has done incredibly well. While many other federal contractors were hit with large budget cuts, Leidos lost almost nothing.
Their 2025 Q1 earnings report actually shows a revenue increase of more than 6 percent in just a few months. Cuts to their federal contracts amounted to just 0.33 percent of their projected revenue. By comparison, Deloitte lost over 470 million dollars. Accenture lost 193 million. IBM lost 100 million.
Leidos barely flinched.
Their CEO, Tom Bell, publicly praised the Trump administration and DOGE in a May 2025 earnings call. He said they are having more direct conversations with cabinet officials than ever before.
He said those officials are listening. He said they are now open to hearing Leidos' big ideas, including massive defense infrastructure proposals like a national Golden Dome missile shield.
In The Shadows
So when we talk about election integrity, maybe we’ve been looking in the wrong direction. Maybe the real danger isn’t coming from shadowy foreign actors or rogue poll workers. Maybe it’s coming from the places no one ever checks. Places like a defense-grade facility in Huntsville, Alabama, quietly owned by a man with a history of certifying broken voting machines. A building that may double as a weapons lab and a voting lab.
A building wrapped in shell companies, backed by GOP-connected lawyers, sitting just steps from defense firms with billion-dollar ties to the federal government.
The people who build the missiles are sharing a business park with the people who approve our ballots. And the gatekeepers? They're not public servants. They’re contractors. They’re lobbyists. They’re the same handful of names moving through different doors in the same hallway.
We’ve been told that our votes are protected by secure systems.
But what if those systems were never meant to protect us?
What if they were designed to protect power?
Note From The Author:
I don’t put my work behind a paywall. These stories are too urgent, too raw, too real to keep locked away.
When 90% of mainstream media outlets are owned by 6 billionaires, it’s becomes hard to know who to trust. I don’t take checks from billionaires, and I don’t take notes from PR firms. I just tell the damn story because I’m not part of the mainstream media.
My belief is that almost everyone has their angle, their agenda. The truth is usually hiding somewhere in between. And that’s what I’m chasing.
I don’t need to sanitize what’s happening. I’ll just tell it like it is.

Hiding in plain sight. Thank you for the exposé. This story needs to be spread far and wide, and exposed to cleansing sunlight.
Outstanding reporting.
