DENVER (AP) — Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official, the new company announced Thursday.
The newly formed company, Liberty Vote, also vowed to follow the executive order Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies that multiple judges have put on hold for violating the Constitution.

This effectively means that this company is openly hostile towards its own customers and may no longer be used for machines.

Narrator: they still used the machines

Electronic voting is a shitty, insecure system. There was nothing to invent; paper ballots should be the only valid way to vote.

This is not relevant here.
These are counting machines not connected to the internet

It's relevant anyway. The problems with electronic vote go far beyond that.

Republicans know they'd be destroyed in the next elections, so they're fixing it with rigged machines patrolled by ICE agents.
You're going to have to do something else to get them out of office.

I was still holding on to at least being able to vote out enough of his supporters during the midterms that we might be able to block some of their insanity or even reverse one or two things during the back half of this election cycle, but I'm pretty sure that seals it up. That's the end of voting mattering, y'all.
Well done to all who voted for him for any reason, as well as those who could have voted and didn't. I hope you all experience everything this administration wants to do to those it deems as lesser than itself.

Well, they guaranteed free and open elections where you could vote for the candidate of your choice. They Didn’t say anything about guaranteeing that the voting machines would be accurate.
So go ahead and vote. Vote for whoever you want. They are going to change the results anyway.

It's not over yet... So far, their wins have only come from people complying in advance

True. We need to harass our States to not use Dominion machines in any elections.
theneverfox@pawb.social · 2 pts · 299d
Exactly. And on a related note, they're going by Liberty voting now

Check your state. This isn't the most up to date info, but these things change slowly, so...

A ton of the links on that website are dead. Is there more up to date information anywhere?
HorikBrun@kbin.earth · 1 pts · 300d
I can't find newer nationwide info, but I think each state can be searched individually.

Every governor needs to be going over their voting and tabulation systems with an atomic comb.

What would motivate the red states to actually do that tho, instead of just grifting everyone for election security funds, which enables them to say whatever they want?
Skyrmir@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 299d
Red states would get dragged along as any problems were hammered out of Blue states. If someone points out a glaring security flaw in Dominion tabulators, it won't really matter who the governor is. Everyone will expect it to get fixed.

Why though. Hostile takeover or just handover? They sued and won against the these duckers, why sell to them?
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 300d
They sued and won, but I bet they still struggle to see hardware in half the country.
