Dominion Voting Systems Sold To MAGA Crony

This does not bode well for our democracy.

Despite winning millions and millions in defamation suits against MAGA media figures, Dominion Voting Systems machines will now be owned by a crony of one of Trump's top election-lie lieutenants.

Via The Guardian (my emphases added):

The company was purchased by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican Missouri election official who founded KnowInk, which makes electronic pollbooks used at voting sites across the country. Leiendecker purchased Dominion under a new company called Liberty Vote. Leiendecker served as the elections director in St Louis from 2005 until 2012, according to his LinkedIn, a period during which he would have overlapped with Ed Martin, a staunch Trump ally at the justice department who served as chairman of the St Louis board of elections from 2005 to 2006.

Yep, that’s the same Ed Martin who is such an election-denying extremist that Trump could not get him confirmed as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Instead, Martin is now director of the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group. John Amato rightly described it as “A made-up department created to solely punish those who prosecuted Trump.” And did I mention that he quacks like a Russian asset?
