Dominion Voting System gets renamed Liberty Vote under new ownership

Dominion Voting Systems, which was at the center of controversy following the 2020 election, was recently renamed "Liberty Vote" and was sold to new ownership late last month, the new owners announced Thursday.

The voting technology company was sold to Republican Scott Leiendecker, a former director of elections for the city of St. Louis, The Hill reported. Leiendecker also created the largest provider of electronic poll books: KNOWiNK. 

The sale, which was finalized in September, makes Leiendecker the sole private owner. The cost of the sale was not disclosed.

“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.”

Dominion was heavily criticized following the 2020 election but has since won several large settlements from various news organization. The most recent settlement came from Newsmax in August, in which the outlet agreed to settle the case for $67 million.

Fox News Channel previously settled a similar lawsuit with Dominion in 2023 for $787.5 million.
