Dominion Voting Systems, the election vendor that was falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election, is being sold and rebranded as Liberty Vote effective immediately.
Scott Leiendecker, the founder of a Missouri-based election technology company who previously served as the Republican director for the St. Louis City Board of Elections, purchased the company this week for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.
“As of today, Dominion is gone. Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control,” the press release reads.
The company’s new owner laid out four goals, many of which align with the Trump administration, that they argue will restore trust in US elections, the main being a heavy emphasis on using paper ballots.
Paper ballots, cool.
Liberty Vote also plans on ensuring the company is “100% American owned,” including all domestic staffing and software development, the release states.
Eh.
The Liberty Vote announcement also says its actions will be in “compliance with President Trump’s executive order,” signed earlier this year, on election integrity. Parts of that order have already been blocked by a federal judge, and leading election experts have said the order is likely unconstitutional.
Er. I hope it complies with the ultimate court decisions.
The new company says one of its other priorities will be to facilitate third-party auditing of their election systems. Right-wing “election integrity” activists have promoted outside audits, most famously in Arizona after 2020, as a way to hunt for supposed fraud.
Properly vetted competent auditing firms with appropriate access to sensitive election tech, I hope, not Cyber Ninjas or 'Right-wing “election integrity” activists'.
