Dominion Voting Systems, the voting technology company that was at the center of controversy and false stolen-election claims after President Trump’s 2020 loss, has been sold and will be renamed as Liberty Vote, its new ownership announced on Thursday.
Dominion was sold to Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican director of elections for the city of St. Louis, Mo., who went on to found KNOWiNK, the largest provider of electronic poll books across the United States who has testified before Congress about voting systems. He is the sole private owner of the newly-created Liberty Vote, and privately financed it, in a deal finalized in late September.
The sale brings the company under full American control. Dominion was headquartered in Canada.
The sale amount was not disclosed. Private equity firm Staple Street Capital bought three-quarters of Dominion in 2018 for $38 million.
The company’s defamation lawsuits against media outlets over 2020 election claims resulted in major multi-million settlements, including a $787 million settlement with Fox News, a $67 million settlement with Newsmax, and a confidential settlement with former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.
A release touted Leiendecker’s 25 years of experience as an elections expert, saying his mission is to restore public confidence in the electoral process through secure voting systems, including the use of hand-marked paper ballots.
“Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections—one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” Leiendecker said in a statement. “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.”
Liberty Vote is, as of now, separate from KNOWiNK. Together, KNOWiNK and Liberty Vote will have systems used in over 40 states, according to a Liberty Vote official.
A release said Liberty Vote is committed to domestic staffing and software development; leveraging hand-marked paper ballots that enable compliance with President Trump’s executive order on paper ballots; incorporating rigorous third-party auditing standards; and designing simplified transparent systems.
