"Dominion Voting Systems, the company that makes widely used voting equipment in the United States that became synonymous with election conspiracies and Donald Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election, has been sold. The company was purchased by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican Missouri election official who founded KnowInk, which makes electronic pollbooks used at voting sites across the country."
"Leiendecker, served as the elections director in St Louis from 2005 until 2012, according to his LinkedIn, a period during which he would have overlapped with Ed Martin, a staunch Trump ally at the justice department who served as chairman of the St Louis board of elections from 2005 to 2006. Leiendecker said in a press release the acquisition represented a new chapter for American elections one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up, pledging to deliver election technology that prioritizes paper-based transparency,"
Liberty Vote, led by Scott Leiendecker, has purchased Dominion Voting Systems and assumed full ownership and operational control. Leiendecker is a former Republican Missouri election official who founded KnowInk, a maker of electronic pollbooks. The acquisition is presented as a move to rebuild trust by prioritizing paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity in election technology. Dominion previously spent years defending itself in court and reached major settlements, including $787.5 million with Fox and multimillion-dollar agreements with Newsmax, One America News, Sidney Powell, and Rudy Giuliani. Dominion was founded and headquartered in Toronto and also operated from Denver, Colorado.
