In what appears to be a huge win for election integrity, the notorious Dominion Voting Systems has been sold to a longtime advocate for election reform.
Former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker is now the sole owner of Dominion.
This is a new chapter for Dominion, which is now called Liberty Vote and based 100% in the United States, out of Missouri.

BREAKING: Former GOP election official buys Dominion Voting Systems, promises ‘paper-based transparency’https://t.co/EVsdQoLJ5D
— Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) October 9, 2025
Leiendecker has promised to prioritize “paper-based transparency, security and simplicity” — which is long overdue and sounds very promising!
Axios reported:
Zoom in: Liberty Vote purchased Canada-based Dominion for an undisclosed sum, according to a person familiar with the transaction.
- Liberty is a new company owned by Scott Leiendecker, who in 2011 created a software program focused on enabling election workers to verify voters and check them in at polling locations.
- According to Leiendecker’s LinkedIn page, his company KNOWiNK has more than 150 employees and $55 million in annual revenue.
- The company says its systems are used by election officials in more than a third of U.S. states and describes itself as the “nation’s leading provider of electronic poll books.”
Zoom out: Leiendecker also has deep Republican connections.
- Matt Blunt, who was then Missouri’s Republican secretary of state, appointed Leiendecker to a role investigating St. Louis’ elections administration after the 2000 election.
- As governor, Blunt later appointed Leiendecker to be St. Louis’ Republican election director.
Ed Martin, a loyal Trump surrogate, was St. Louis’ Board of Elections’ chair when Leiendecker was the city’s election director.
- As interim U.S. attorney for D.C. in Trump’s current administration, Martin demoted prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases, pursued critics of Elon Musk’s DOGE operation, and threatened Wikipedia over what he called biased “propaganda.”
Liberty Vote officials describe Leiendecker as a neutral arbiter.
- They provided to Axios a supportive statement from Nevada’s Democratic secretary of state, Cisco Aguilar, who called Leiendecker “open, honest and transparent.”
Liberty does appear to be aligning itself with Trump’s vision for a paper ballot-centered election system.
- For years Trump has cast doubt on the nation’s election system, railing against voting machines, questioning their accuracy and calling for a transition to same-day, in-person voting using paper ballots.
- Election officials nationwide have said that their electronic voting systems are secure, and that paper-ballot systems would result in longer waits for results without enhancing security.
What they’re saying: Leiendecker told Axios in a statement that his company 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 signals a new chapter for American elections — one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” he said.
- A Liberty representative said the organization will engage in a “top-down” review of Dominion’s equipment ahead of next year’s midterm elections, and that it would “rebuild or retire” machines as needed.
The Dominion website now redirects to ‘Liberty Vote’ and displays this message:
In case that’s hard to read, here’s the full text of the message from Scott Leiendecker:
My Fellow Americans,
Today, I am proud to announce Liberty Vote — a 100% American‐owned election technology company dedicated to restoring trust in our elections. Our mission is clear: every vote must be secure, fair, and verifiable.
I have spent my life working to strengthen America’s elections. That commitment began years ago, in the aftermath of the 2000 election, when I worked for the Missouri Secretary of State. Later, as Election Director in St. Louis, I led the effort to modernize outdated systems and rebuild public trust. Eventually, I founded an election technology company that today serves nearly one in four voters nationwide.
With Liberty Vote, we are building on that legacy. We are turning the page and beginning the vital work of restoring faith in American elections. While these changes will not happen overnight, Liberty Vote’s mission is rooted in American values and committed to transparency, independent audits, and verifiable paper records.
Our purpose is simple: to ensure that America’s elections are secure, fair, and honest.
Scott Leiendecker
Founder and Chairman, Liberty Vote
As part of the deal, Leiendeck is dropping multiple Dominion lawsuits against conservatives like Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, and Sidney Powell.

Dominion Voting systems has been acquired by founder and chairman of Liberty Vote Scott Leiendecker, in a deal which included dropping lawsuits against conservatives. Leiendecker, former GOP election reform advocate, has officially become the sole owner of Dominion after making the deal contingent on dropping several remaining lawsuits against prominent conservatives and One America News Network
More from the Daily Caller:
Leiendecker further disclosed to the Caller that remaining litigation with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell will be dropped by Dominion Voting Systems as part of the acquisition agreement.
The Liberty Vote will be inheriting ongoing litigation with former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, the Daily Caller has learned.
The acquisition makes Dominion a fully American-owned company — a shift Leinendecker says is designed to strengthen public confidence, enhance transparency and rebuild trust in the integrity of U.S. elections.
“Every legacy system is under review. Liberty Vote will be 100 percent American-owned, American-built and independently audited. We won’t ask for trust — we’ll earn it and prove it,” Leindecker told the Caller in a statement.
The election technology company is being marketed to champion reforms aimed at ensuring every American’s vote is secure and accurately counted, according to a press release.
Under its new leadership, Liberty Vote will move its operations entirely to the United States. The company says it is prioritizing election integrity by implementing third-party auditing standards, the same release added.
“Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections — one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” Leiendecker stated in the press release. “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.”
In addition, the company is prioritizing the use of hand-marked paper ballots to strengthen election security and compliance. This initiative aligns with President Donald Trump’s executive order titled, “Preserving And Protecting The Integrity Of American Elections,” which is designed to safeguard the electoral process and uphold federal standards.
