The buyer pledges a paper-first, domestically built platform to restore trust in election technology.

Overview

  • Liberty Vote, owned by former St. Louis Republican election director Scott Leiendecker, closed the acquisition in late September for an undisclosed, privately financed sum.
  • Dominion CEO John Poulos confirmed the sale, and Dominion’s website now redirects users to Liberty Vote.
  • Liberty Vote plans to emphasize hand-marked paper ballots, 100% U.S. ownership with domestic staffing and software, and independent third-party audits, with a top-down review of equipment before the 2026 midterms.
  • In recent weeks Dominion reached undisclosed settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and OANN tied to the transition, while defamation cases against Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrne remain active.
  • Election officials say the move raises contract and policy questions for jurisdictions that used Dominion in 27 states, as Liberty Vote aligns with Trump’s paper-ballot priorities and references a partially blocked executive order.
