Scoop: Dominion Voting sold to company run by ex-GOP election official

https://www.axios.com/2025/10/09/dominion-voting-machines-sold-elections

"Dominion Voting Systems — the voting machine behemoth that President Trump and his allies baselessly attacked after the 2020 election — has been sold to a Missouri-based company run by a former Republican election official, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Dominion is one of the biggest election equipment providers and was used by 27 states during the 2024 election.

Zoom in: Liberty Vote purchased Canada-based Dominion for an undisclosed sum, according to a person familiar with the transaction.

Liberty is a new company owned by Scott Leiendecker, who in 2011 created a software program focused on enabling election workers to verify voters and check them in at polling locations."

2. I get the title change. Seems MAGA is setting so many 5 alarm fires, hard to keep up. And YES, this is NOT GOOD,

judging from the tone of the new MAGA owner's comments:

Liberty Vote announced the purchase of Dominion Thursday afternoon. The company, which is the nation's largest provider of electronic poll book technology, was founded by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican elections director. The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

In a statement Thursday, Liberty Vote said it would be "100% AMERICAN OWNED," and that "as of today, Dominion is gone." Dominion was incorporated in Toronto but in 2009, it moved its headquarters to Denver.

"Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections—one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up," Leiendecker said. "Liberty Vote is committed to delivering election technology that prioritizes paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity so that voters can be assured that every ballot is filled-in accurately and fairly counted."

OH?? As if they WEREN'T BEFORE??

Dominion Voting Systems sold to Republican-run company pushing paper ballots - RAWSTORY

A company run by a former Republican election official has purchased Dominion Voting Systems, according to a report.

Scott Leiendecker, the owner of Liberty Vote, served as St. Louis' Republican election director when Trump ally Ed Martin was the Board of Elections' chair for the city. Trump recently appointed Martin as head of the Weaponization Working Group at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Axios reported that Liberty required Dominion to settle several defamation lawsuits against Trump allies before the sale.
