Overview

  • Dominion’s CEO confirmed that Liberty Vote has acquired the company and assumed operational control effective immediately.
  • Buyer Scott Leiendecker, a former St. Louis Republican elections director and founder of KNOWiNK, is reported as the sole private owner who financed the undisclosed deal.
  • Liberty Vote says it will prioritize hand-marked paper ballots, maintain 100% American ownership, and keep staffing and software development domestic.
  • The company plans a top-down review of current equipment before the 2026 midterms, saying it may rebuild or retire machines as needed, a shift experts say could raise questions for states with existing contracts.
  • At Liberty’s request, Dominion recently settled defamation cases with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and OANN, while lawsuits against Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrne remain active.
