"Dominion Voting Systems has been purchased by Liberty Vote, a firm headed by a former GOP election official with ties to a staunch ally of President Donald Trump just weeks after Dominion settled several defamation lawsuits it filed in the wake of the 2020 election. According to a report by Axios' Alex Isenstadt, Dominion was purchased for an undisclosed sum by Liberty Vote, a company owned by Scott Leiendecker."
"Isendstadt's article highlights Leiendecker's deep Republican connections: Matt Blunt, who was then Missouri's Republican secretary of state, appointed Leiendecker to a role investigating St. Louis' elections administration after the 2000 election. As governor, Blunt later appointed Leiendecker to be St. Louis' Republican election director. Ed Martin, a loyal Trump surrogate, was St. Louis' Board of Elections' chair when Leiendecker was the city's election director."
Liberty Vote, owned by Scott Leiendecker, purchased Dominion Voting Systems for an undisclosed sum just weeks after Dominion resolved multiple defamation lawsuits stemming from the 2020 election. Leiendecker has longstanding Republican ties, including appointments by Matt Blunt and overlap with Ed Martin while serving in St. Louis election administration. Liberty Vote appears to support a paper ballot-centered election model favored by former President Donald Trump. The corporate acquisition coincided with the expedited settlement of Dominion's litigation against conservative figures and outlets, including high-profile settlements involving Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, One America News, and Fox News. Smartmatic also pursued legal action against media outlets.
