Georgia will continue to use election equipment under Liberty Votes ownership, spokesperson says

Dominion Voting Systems, the company contracted to supply Georgia’s elections equipment, has been sold to a former Republican elections director.

In 2019, Georgia entered a 10-year contract with Dominion and has since spent more than $100 million on election infrastructure.

During the 2020 election, the company was plagued by baseless conspiracy theories, which alleged that the voting machines rigged ballots in favor of then-candidate Joe Biden.

Dominion’s new owner, Scott Leiendecker of Missouri-based Liberty Votes, wrote in a message that his company was “committed to transparency, independent audits, and verifiable paper records,” echoing challenges to past elections.

In a statement to Georgia Public Broadcasting, Georgia Secretary of State spokesman Robert Sinners said, “This sale will not affect any of our existing service agreements.”

He added there would be no impact on current statewide elections for two public service commission seats.
