Dominion Sold and Rebranded as Liberty Vote Under Ex-GOP Election Official

The new U.S.-based owner pledges a paper-first, domestically developed, independently audited system to rebuild trust before the 2026 vote.

Overview

  • Dominion founder John Poulos confirmed the sale to Liberty Vote, led by Scott Leiendecker, with the rebrand effective immediately and financial terms undisclosed.
  • Liberty Vote says it will prioritize hand-marked paper ballots, 100% U.S. ownership with domestic staffing and software development, and rigorous third-party audits.
  • The company plans a top-down review of Dominion equipment and may rebuild or retire machines, signaling potential procurement and certification decisions for states ahead of the 2026 midterms.
  • Recent undisclosed settlements resolved Dominion’s cases against Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News Network, while lawsuits against Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrne remain active.
  • Dominion systems were used by voters in 27 states in 2024, and the sale shifts the vendor from prior control by Staple Street Capital to sole private ownership by Leiendecker.
