Former GOP election official buys Dominion Voting Systems, says he’ll push for paper ballots
Scott Leiendecker, the founder of a Missouri-based election technology company who previously served as the Republican director for the St. Louis City Board of Elections, purchased the company this week for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.
“As of today, Dominion is gone. Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control,” the press release reads.
Leiendecker says he wants to use the renamed company to restore public confidence in the US electoral process. Liberty Now also vows to be bipartisan as it works to reshape Dominion’s image. Dominion’s election products were used by millions of US voters across 27 states last year.
Dominion’s founder and CEO, John Poulos, confirmed in a one-sentence statement provided to CNN on Thursday that, “Liberty Vote has acquired Dominion Voting Systems.”
The company’s new owner laid out four goals, many of which align with the Trump administration, that they argue will restore trust in US elections, the main being a heavy emphasis on using paper ballots.
“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,” Leiendecker says.
The sale of Dominion comes as President Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted he plans to overhaul America’s election systems, from wanting to move the US to all-paper ballots, require voter identification in all elections, and restrict mail-in voting. The president has promised to carry out those goals through executive orders, something he does not have explicit authority to do, as he seeks to change election laws that he has falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.
Liberty Vote also plans on ensuring the company is “100% American owned,” including all domestic staffing and software development, the release states. Dominion was founded as a Canadian company with offices in Toronto, Denver, and Dallas. The new company plans to continue to have a presence in Canada, however, a source familiar with the plans said.

The fact that this has to be a thing (and that people will still fight it) really chaps my arse.

Even in a seemingly straightforward news story, Pravda makes sure to inject some Dem-friendly opinion in there.

Does this mean the Dominion voting machines will no longer be able to be hacked and votes changed to the dark side by domestic and foreign cheaters?
My perception of what the Dominion software might be like:
1. Enter password 12345 to enter stealth mode.
2. Make selection to change votes automatically/randomly by percentage or make a one time bulk change and submit the details for your change.

Anything electronic can be hacked. They will have to come up with a confirmation process for electronic devices to make them more secure.

"Paper-based transparency" is not paper ballots. It is printed receipts from a machine that you will not take with you. ALL machines can be manipulated or hacked and NONE should be used in elections.
The only good paper ballots are secure, water marked, serialized ballots that are hand-marked and hand-counted on camera by people from different parties.

Here is a video that shows how easy it is! This is how it should be. I think it would be even faster than the narrator states.

Which is why they should use paper ballots and the machine is just for rapid counting.
Then let each candidate select 5 precincts for audit, and have the county randomly select 5 of the remaining precincts. Do a hand count and make sure it matches the electronic count and the number of voters who showed up.

Excellent. Makes perfect, simple sense.

You're supposed to warn us if it is a CNN link.

We always hear the mantra "states control the voting process", and we forget to ask George Wallace about that.
The federal govt can readily move in when the civil rights of citizens are being affected. And civil rights is not just a black thing, its all citizens.
How on earth can you make it legal for illegals to get a license. Then use the DMV listing to mail out ballots? You can easily mail out a notice a few months before the election asking them to verify and reminding them if they are illegal they cant vote. Then just keep a list of the ones that dont come back and voila there is your list to fill out for them and stuff the ballot boxes.
And of course we fight every legal proceeding to clean up those voter rolls.
