"The company, acquired by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican Party operative and election director in Missouri before founding Knowink, said in a press release that he was rebranding Dominion, which has headquarters in Canada and the United States, under the name Liberty Vote "in a bold and historic move to transform and improve election integrity in America" and to distance the company from false allegations made previously by President Donald Trump and his supporters"
"Dominion, the second leading provider of voting machines in the US, whose systems are used in 27 states-including the entire state of Georgia-has developed its software in Belgrade, Serbia and Canada for two decades. A search on LinkedIn shows numerous programmers and other workers in Serbia who claim to be employed by the company. The Liberty statement does not say whether the company plans to re-write code developed by these foreign workers-which would potentially involve rewriting hundreds of thousands of lines of code."
Scott Leiendecker, founder and CEO of Knowink and a former Republican operative and Missouri election director, purchased Dominion Voting Systems and announced a rebrand to Liberty Vote. The rebranded company claims 100 percent American ownership, a paper ballot focus emphasizing hand-marked ballots, a priority on facilitating third-party auditing, and commitments to domestic staffing and software development. The press release offered no implementation details. Dominion's systems are used in 27 states, including Georgia, and the company has developed software in Belgrade, Serbia and Canada for decades. The Liberty statement does not specify whether foreign-developed code will be rewritten, a task that could involve hundreds of thousands of lines of code and has raised expert concerns.
