Republican Buys Dominion Voting Systems, Forces Them To Drop Lawsuits Against Conservatives

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 (OANN).

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.

Dominion also filed a lawsuit against Herring Networks, which owns OANN, in August 2021. The lawsuit remained unresolved, though Leinendecker further confirmed that future litigation will be discontinued following the acquisition.

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.

Since the 2020 election, Dominion has launched several major defamation lawsuits, including a $1.3 billion case against Lindell, accusing him of spreading false claims about the company’s role during the 2020 presidential election to boost his pillow sales.
The company filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Powell over what Dominion described as “wild accusations” that it rigged the 2020 presidential election to secure a win for former President Joe Biden.

Dominion has also filed a separate $1.3 billion lawsuit against Giuliani — a close ally of Trump — alleging he repeatedly promoted baseless claims that Dominion rigged the election in favor of Biden.
