(I DO NOT see this as a solution to the voter fraud that was proven to be rampant in the last couple of elections BUT it is a positive step towards getting things under control.)
Dominion Voting Systems, one of the nation's largest election technology companies, has been acquired by St. Louis-based Liberty Vote. The acquisition caps a half-decade that saw Dominion thrust into the public eye amid accusations of election rigging.
Liberty Vote announced the purchase of Dominion Thursday afternoon. The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Liberty Vote was founded by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican elections director for St. Louis. He also founded KNOWiNK, which describes itself as the largest provider of electronic poll book technology in the United States, used in dozens of states. KNOWiNK says it was built "exclusively in America" and has a bipartisan team of former elections administrators, directors and poll workers, according to a company spokesperson.
In a statement Thursday, Liberty Vote said it would be "100% AMERICAN OWNED," and that "as of today, Dominion is gone." Dominion was incorporated in Toronto but in 2009, it moved its headquarters to Denver.
"Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections, one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up," Leiendecker said. "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."
