Former Republican election official buys Dominion Voting — a target of 2020 conspiracy theories
October 9, 2025
Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official. KNOWiNK, a St. Louis-based provider of electronic poll books, announced the deal Thursday and said it was changing its name to Liberty Vote. Dominion’s former CEO confirmed the sale. In a statement, the new company vowed to follow the executive order Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies. While that might raise concerns in Democratic-leaning states, some election officials said that KNOWiNK had steered clear of 2020 conspiracy theories and acted like a typical, nonpartisan firm.
