Wonder where the money came from?
Dominion Voting Systems, the election vendor that was falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election, is being sold and rebranded as Liberty Vote effective immediately.
Scott Leiendecker, the founder of a Missouri-based election technology company who previously served as the Republican director for the St. Louis City Board of Elections, purchased the company this week for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.
As of today, Dominion is gone. Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control, the press release reads.

It shouldn't matter who owns the voting machines, but it does.

Paper ballots.
Of course now, we have a blank ballot that gets printed after we vote. Everyone can check the ballot to ensure no hanky panky going on. If it isnt how you voted, you can get another ballot while canceling out the 1st ballot.
Of course this all depends on whether Texas has changed the law regarding spoiled ballots. The law is you get 3 chances to cast a ballot if you notice it isnt how you cast your ballot. They are labeled spoiled ballots and you must file paperwork to ensure no hanky panky going on.
