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.

    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?

        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.
