Dominion Voting Systems sold to company run by former Republican election official

Scott Leiendecker, the founder and chairman of Liberty Vote and sole owner of Dominion Voting Systems, is a former GOP election reform advocate who has made his mark on election technology. Leiendecker officially acquired Dominion as the sole private owner under Liberty Vote, according to an announcement Thursday.

Under Leiendecker’s leadership, the company will relocate all operations to the United States and strengthen election integrity through the adoption of independent third-party auditing standards, according to a press release. “Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections — one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” he said.

Scott Leiendecker — a former GOP elections director in St. Louis, Missouri, and the founder of another well-known elections technology company KNOWiNK — will helm the company in an effort to “restore public confidence” in elections with “transparent, secure, and trustworthy” voting systems, the release said.

It's just a joke at this point.

JFC.

Even those names sound MAGA.

It's easy to see what's going to happen here. The Republican/MAGA Party are going to employ various tactics to ensure that Democrats can't win elections from now on. Oh sure - the Democratic Party will get plenty of votes - just never enough votes to actually win Congress, Senate or the Presidency again.

The tactics will be things like using ICE and National Guard at polling stations to terrify voters into not voting. Gerrymandering. Banning early voting or making it very difficult. Using voter suppression to discourage or prevent specific groups of people from voting or even registering to vote. Going after political enemies to terrify the rest of Americans. Paper ballots which can be slightly tampered with (i.e. lost). Voting machines which are owned and controlled by Republicans like Leiendecker... It won't be overt and in your face but it will be just enough. Just enough so the Dems can't quite win anything. All of this will add up to the Republican/MAGA Party winning every time from now on. It's what other authoritarian dictatorship countries have done like Russia, Hungary, Turkey etc. to keep the opposition out of power. Trump has already shit all over electronic voting so now he will have to do an about face and say that now it's owned by someone with integrity who can be trusted and so voters should use it.

I don't know why people aren't running around screaming about what's happening. This is much more important than anything else going on. I genuinely think that most Americans believe this absolutely couldn't happen in America and any suggesting of planned election tampering by the Trump administration is just more hysteria. But that's exactly what this is. One thing we know from human history is that authoritarian dictatorships do not willingly cede power and will do and say anything to retain power. MAGA intend to cement power and retain power and then rule for the foreseeable future.

I don't think it's a safe bet to say that there will be a blue wave in 2026. I don't think it's going to happen. I think that we will see MAGA retain power for generations to come and at this stage, the Trump administration are midway to later stages through implementing their Christian nationalist fascist authoritarian regime and in years to come, it could become more and more severe. Once they get it properly implemented they will work on making it more severe to cement their power. Something similar to a watered down Gilead.

Martial Law

These are truly scary times we’re living in. The America we know and love is gone. 😭

Yes that too R7. Currently, the Trump administartion are desperately trying to incite a situation where they can implement martial law in blue cities and states.

I forgot to add in the cowered media who are too terrified to say anything negative because of the repercussions AND all the social media platforms which are owned by the right - and we can now include TikTok in that plus the upcoming David Ellison Warner Bros. Discovery purchase. The bid has been rejected but it won't be long.

Trump would love MAGA to stay in power for generations but the real people behind this are Stephen Miller and Russel Vought and their nefarious background supporter group. This is some very scary shit.

Election tampering bump!

Honestly, I never expected it to be sold to anyone but a republican apparatchik.

None of those things are going to happen as I'm just about to write a sternly worded letter to the President. Watch out.

Yes that will fix everything R12!
