Terrible news!! What can be done about this??
Rude-Strawberry-6360 on
Yeah that’ll go well.
I’m so upset at Americans. Literally half of us just can’t be fucked to be involved and informed. So we get railroaded. Because the independents can’t vote for democrats, half of us can’t be bothered to vote at all and the democrats have this fucking purity test that is sending the nation down the tubes.
Good fucking job America. Pull your heads out of your asses.

What a shock that republicans want to be in control of the actual voting machines while trying to find a way to ban mail-in ballots, Surely no one will see through this clever plan!
We have the dumbest fascists.

Wow, we really have lost this country haven’t we, the midterms are going to be rigged and we can say goodbye to safe and secure elections.
Devastating really, just when you think it couldn’t get any worse.

I’m not sure why people don’t understand that the only real way to hold a secure and fair election is with paper ballots. All voting machines should be e-wasted.

Didn’t even think of that! I really have to say the GOP has shown forward thinking that the democrats simply can’t keep up with. They have
1.) been acquiring main stream media networks and suing others so the messaging pushes GOP messaging
2.) attacked educational institutions to begin infecting the youth. Controlling the message and deciding what universities can teach
3.) they realized that no one with authority to hold politicians accountable to the law has the fortitude to do so
4.) they desensitized the American people by doing outlandish things daily, so nothing is outlandish
5.) supported independent media to push their message
6.) took ownership of all social media platforms to shape algorithms
7.) bought the machines that count the votes

Being an “ex-GOP official” isn’t necessarily doom here. It’s more-so does this person align himself with the current GOP, specifically the election deniers.
Looks like the person being referenced here is Scott Leiendecker, who the article says was appointed by the Missouri Republican governor to a role investigating St. Louis’ elections administration after the 2000 election as well as to be St. Louis’ Republican election director.
It does also mention that Ed Martin, **a loyal Trump surrogate**, was St. Louis’ Board of Elections’ chair when Leiendecker was the city’s election director, but I’m not sure if that’s in relation to Leiendecker having close ties to Martin, or they simply had to work together back in 2005ish in those roles both appointed by the governor
It does go on to say that Nevada’s secretary state, a Democrat, has described Leiendecker as open, honest and transparent.

Great, the GOP won’t have to worry about losing an election as long as these machines are in use.

At this point we can only hope their incompetence is so great that it collapses fast.

EndangeredDemocracy on
No shock. 2024 wasn’t a free and fair election, emphasis on fair. the Midterms won’t be either or any future election.
I’m sure the Dems won’t even make a statement about how outwardly partisan and corrupt this transaction’s optics look.

Dominion acquired Diebold, who rigged the 2004 election (if you believe these things) and there are all kinds of reported irregularities with 2024’s election once certain vote thresholds were released. So as bad as this is, it’s more of the same rather than a triumph of evil over good.
God damn evil is winning bigtime though.

if they were to take control of the voting machines and mess with the integrity of the votes, are there realistic ways for us/the Democrats to combat this?

How much more is it going to take for the states up north to act? Every blue state, every self proclaimed ‘swing state’ to say enough is enough? We are entering the point of no return, civil war or 1930s Germany.
What more can we do?
Barring nation wide power outages that finally get the full attention of the younger generation, when will this end?

For those that haven’t subbed here are the main points:
Liberty Vote purchased Canada-based Dominion for an undisclosed sum. Liberty is a new company owned by Scott Leiendecker. Leiendecker’s owns company KNOWiNK which has 55 employees and 150 employees. KNOWiNK’s systems are used by election officials in more than a third of U.S. states. Leiendecker was appointed by Matt Blunt, who was Missouri’s Republican Secretary of State. As governor, Blunt later appointed Leiendecker to be St. Louis’ Republican election director. Liberty said the organization will engage in a “top-down” review of Dominion’s equipment ahead of next year’s midterm elections and that it would *rebuild* or retire machines as needed.
