Former GOP election official buys Dominion Voting Systems, says he’ll push for paper ballots | CNN Politics
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.
Elections aren't determined by the voters, but by who counts the vote. Who is Scott Leiendecker? Is he all talk? Is this just going to be a facade for Dominion while it continues to do what it does, just using new tools to rig while presenting as transparent?
Is this just a way to get the public to accept a specific party purchasing it, so in 4 years when the democrats purchase it back we can't say shit. While this RINO makes it easy for them to do so?
Hopefully this is all just thinking too deep into it and he's actually a good guy. But still, this is getting the public to accept vote counts being bought, and I'm not sure that's healthy either. They're pointing out that he's a Former GOP Election Official for a reason. They want us to focus on that aspect.
👆👆 On October 9, 2025, Dominion Voting Systems was sold to a new company called Liberty Vote, but the sale price was not publicly disclosed. Liberty Vote was founded by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican election official. NO PRICE GIVEN. ????
This is pretty interesting. Why did they sell? They HAVE to rig! Surely rigged elections are worth billions to them.
They can’t? It’s over?
Does it get the previous owners off the hook for their past events?
Doubtful. Only because there was a car lot in town back in the 90s that sold lemon cars — cars that run well and check out initially but later develop issues. You know, a car that runs well and checks out until a month later. Anyways, the owner sold the company right before the lemon law was passed in my state. A few people were still able to take the original owner to court and sue him for selling them a lemon car.
Apples vs Oranges?? Not sure if the orginal owners of Domnion company can be compared to what I just typed, but it makes sense that a company can be held liable after the fact of it being sold seems like good news or maybe Im just too hopeful and light hearted.
Caveat: I am not an expert in any of this.
I seem to recall that the "dominion" company structure was not very transparent in that there was not just a limited company with shareholders. There were several companies in the chain. I believe that is why some court cases might have failed because they were suing the wrong entity. We might know the machines as Dominion but the error could have been in the software which might not be Dominion, for instance.
Also, limited companies are independent entities. They are not the same as their owners and the directors just work for them. Directors could be liable, though.
Companies can go out of business but someone can create a new one with the same name and shareholders etc but the companies are different.
I feel sure that something may well have been worked out here to benefit somebody somewhere.
My BlackBerry is not working... 😁😁😁

Nope. But now we have a way to look inside their system.
No.
Perhaps this war with Venezuela is not mainly about drugs.
I think like Twitter they were seized and sold under trumps EOs.
Oh, they rigged it, alright. And they rigged Venezuela for practice and that's how they turned socialist.
when these machines are up to auction we should get some and start digging tnto the and see how they were routing traffic and such. cellular and/or satellite comms.. both most likely along with wifi/wired ethernet. heck I would not be surprised if it also had a 56k POTS modem on them too.
this is why they burned them in Venezuela years ago. In the USA everything is owned by the people. So when the government stops using things they have to auction them off to the public. Many citizens still do not know this in the USA but this is how you see private citizens own tanks and such.
This sounded wonderful until I read this.

Never. Make. Guarantees. Ever.
Dominion isn't the only company out there that makes voting machines, they're just the most popular. Dominion's machines weren't the only ones that came under question during the past 2 Presidential Election cycles. ES&S and Smartmatic were also under the spotlight. Again, Dominion's issues were just the most popular.
When dealing with uniParty issues, it's crucial to remember that if one side does something to further their agenda(s), the other side is, as well. It's how the uniParty maintains control over critical societal areas.
This acquisition may be beneficial to the U.S., but we won't know until November 2026 at the earliest. And you can bet that Liberty Voting will be under an intense level of scrutiny by everyone. So be prepared for shenanigans. Paper voting is a good way to help ensure accurate vote counting, but how do you ensure that when every city, county, and State now uses electronic ballot scanners? It doesn't matter how many humans you have "counting" votes when the majority of the issues moving forward are with the scanners.
Yep. Diebold, anyone?
Im glad its out of bad hands but this is interesting to me. If the machines can be connected to the internet, they should all be destroyed. Plus I'd rather new systems to that not so many people know how to manipulate new machines. How do we know certain actors still dont have access through backdoors on these machines? Im still sus about these machines regardless of who owns them.
Dominion is no more? The company was bought by Scott Leiendecker? WHO is this guy and WHY was this buy out not the biggest news story of late? WHY did Dominion sell out? To me and IMHO, this had to be a military operation. The people running Dominion were all DS Cabal. They did not need MONEY when you control every election and WHO wins! There is a lot more here than we are being told. Scott changes theme to Liberty Vote and says PAPER BALLOTS are the way that is coming???? Isn't this what Trump promised and all of a sudden Dominion is gone and we will have paper ballots? I would say the owners of Dominion had NO CHOICE in the matter and all this happened UNDER the radar!
Why would this fellow buy a voting machine company, then push for paper only ballots? Not much of a business plan.
Hmmmm...the UniParty Solution?
No need to buy the votes when you can buy the software that counts the votes
The movie is over.... exit right
Your title is misleading, but thanks for posting. Interesting to read a liberal biased article about this subject.
So the left just sild off dominion huh? Is that what we believe? Just like twitter when elon bought it. I believe dominion got seized under the EOs and the sale and dismantling is the public cover.
Mandatory directive to recall every machine NOW!
Don't feel bad u/DevilDogPede for some reason I can't remember how to spell "guarantee" either...
Reminds me of Brian eXspecially on weekends... and holidays... and all through May 😁😁😁
Cautiously optimistic
💥💥💥💥 The sale comes after Dominion spent years in court defending its reputation and pursuing damages against news outlets and Trump allies who baselessly said the company’s equipment had flipped votes in 2020. In 2023, it reached a landmark $787.5m settlement with Fox over false claims about the election. The private equity firm Staple Street capital bought a 76% stake in Dominion for $38m in 2018.
Newsmax, another far-right network, agreed to pay $67m to settle a libel lawsuit against Dominion earlier this year. Dominion has also reached settlements with One America News, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani over false claims over the 2020 election.
Dominion was founded and headquartered in Toronto, and also operated from Denver, Colorado. The company developed software in offices across the United States, Canada and Serbia. Its systems were used in over half the United States during the 2024 election.
Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.
The newly renamed Liberty Vote said it would use hand-marked paper ballots, maintain 100% American ownership with domestic staffing and software development, and implement rigorous third-party auditing standards.
The company said its approach would ensure “compliance with President Trump’s executive order” on election security, though specific details were not provided. A 25 March executive order demands states to use voting systems that have a “voter verifiable paper record” (every state except Louisiana already uses paper ballots and paper records, according to the non-profit verified voting). The order also seeks to ban equipment in which a voter’s choices are encoded in a QR code.
KnowInk is “highly regarded” in the election community, said Jennifer Morrell, CEO of the elections group and a widely respected election administration consultant.
“I’m confident they would not be buying Dominion if there was any possibility they could not offer the same great services and support that they currently provide election officials with their e-pollbook and voter registration systems,” she said.
So, what, Dominion 2.0 will be supplying ballot counters?
If he actually bought the company, he didn't do it to do away with it.
Maybe it's a cover for it's seizure?
Either way, I'm not holding my breath.
Now that the Dems have insistently certified that cheating is impossible with Dominion, how about if Trump uses it, and Republicans cheat for the next 40 years? We can play their statements back to them insisting Dominion is reliable.
👏👏👏 👍❤️🇺🇸 My sincere appreciation to the individual who purchased Dominion! 🥹
liberty vote is name of new voting machine company

Look at Canada.
