Dominion Voting Systems, a voting technology company that has been at the center of conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 U.S. presidential election, has been acquired by a new company led by a former Republican elections official. The acquisition marks a significant development for Dominion, which faced legal challenges and false claims post-election.
The new company, known as Liberty Vote, was announced by KnowInk, a St. Louis-based provider of electronic poll books. The company’s owner, Scott Leiendecker, expressed a commitment to election technology that emphasizes transparency through paper-based processes. Dominion, originally founded in Toronto and later based in Denver, has faced scrutiny and legal battles following the 2020 election.
Former Dominion CEO John Poulos confirmed the sale to Liberty Vote, highlighting the transition of ownership. The acquisition comes after years of controversy and legal disputes surrounding Dominion’s voting machines. The new company aims to restore trust in elections and has rebranded itself as Liberty Vote.
Despite ongoing litigation and settlements with key figures like Sidney Powell and Rudolph Giuliani, Dominion’s sale signifies a new chapter for the company. The transition to Liberty Vote reflects a renewed focus on election integrity and transparency in voting technology. The move towards paper-based processes aligns with demands for increased accountability in electoral systems.
As Dominion undergoes this significant change, the future of voting technology in the U.S. remains a topic of interest and debate. The sale to Liberty Vote represents a shift in the landscape of election technology and a step towards rebuilding trust in the electoral process.
