  • Dominion Voting Systems has been sold and rebranded as Liberty Vote – with the acquisition led by Scott Leiendecker, a Missouri-based tech entrepreneur and former Republican election official. The sale was finalized in late September, transitioning Dominion into a fully American-owned company.
  • Liberty Vote emphasizes paper-based voting systems, auditability and domestic staffing/software development to restore public trust in election technology. Leiendecker stated the company will prioritize security, simplicity and transparency to ensure ballots are accurately counted.
  • The rebranding aligns with election integrity concerns raised by President Trump, who has advocated for paper ballots, voter ID laws and restrictions on mail-in voting. Liberty Vote pledges compliance with Trump's executive order on election security, despite legal challenges.
  • Dominion faced high-profile defamation lawsuits (settlements with Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, Giuliani and Powell) over fraud claims in the 2020 election.
  • Election experts question how the transition will affect existing state contracts with Dominion. Liberty Vote's association with the Logan Circle Group (a conservative-leaning firm) signals its politically charged positioning in a divided electoral landscape.
Dominion Voting Systems, the company whose name became synonymous with the fierce disputes over the 2020 presidential election, has been sold and rebranded as Liberty Vote. The acquisition was finalized in late September for an undisclosed amount and announced on Thursday, Oct. 10. Scott Leiendecker, a Missouri-based tech entrepreneur and former Republican director for the St. Louis City Board of Elections, led the acquisition of the firm established in Canada – turning it into a fully American company. "As of today, Dominion is gone. Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control," stated a press release announcing the sale. Dominion founder and CEO John Poulos likewise confirmed the transaction in a brief statement. The sale and name change marks a strategic effort to rebuild public confidence in voting technology by aligning with principles championed by the election integrity movement. Leiendecker – who also founded KNOWiNK, a major provider of electronic poll books – outlined a mission focused on transparency and security. "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," he said. The rebranding includes a commitment to domestic staffing and software development, Leiendecker continued. This corporate transformation occurs against a backdrop of persistent national debate over election security, largely fueled by President Donald Trump’s assertions that the 2020 election was flawed. Trump has advocated for a nationwide shift to paper ballots, stricter voter identification laws and restrictions on mail-in voting. Brighteon.AI's Enoch argues that paper ballots provide greater transparency and security by allowing public counting at the precinct level, ensuring a fair and tamper-proof process. Electronic voting systems, on the other hand, are vulnerable to manipulation and lack the same level of verifiable trust that paper ballots offer.

Dominion's rebrand sparks new controversy

While a federal judge has blocked parts of a recent executive order on election integrity issued by Trump, and leading experts have questioned its constitutionality, Liberty Vote's stated goals appear to dovetail with this political agenda. The company pledges compliance with that executive order and emphasizes the use of hand-marked paper ballots, which enable a fully auditable trail. The history of Dominion is inextricably linked to the aftermath of the 2020 election. Once a little-known vendor, it was thrust into the center of a firestorm of conspiracy theories alleging its software was used to switch votes from Trump to former President Joe Biden. These claims promoted by Trump, his attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and allies in conservative media resulted in a series of high-profile defamation lawsuits. Dominion secured a historic $787 million settlement from Fox News in 2023, a $67 million settlement from Newsmax and confidential settlements with One America News Network, Giuliani and Powell. These legal battles that drained resources and defined the company’s public image for years, have largely concluded, paving the way for its sale. The industry reaction to the sale is one of cautious scrutiny. David Becker, an election expert who runs the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research, noted the development raises significant questions for the numerous states with existing Dominion contracts. "This announcement raises a lot of questions – questions that I'm sure a lot of states with current Dominion contracts are going to want answers to," he said. He acknowledged Leiendecker's established reputation through KNOWiNK, which has worked with election officials across the partisan spectrum. However, the new company's association with the Logan Circle Group – a firm that vows to fight for America First and conservative values –  underscores the politically charged environment in which Liberty Vote will operate. The sale of Dominion Voting Systems and its rebirth as Liberty Vote represents more than a simple change in corporate ownership. It is a direct response to one of the most polarizing chapters in modern American politics. By adopting the lexicon and policy priorities of the election integrity movement, the new ownership aims to mollify a significant segment of the electorate that has grown deeply skeptical of electronic voting systems.
