What I can find on scott leiendecker:

The former GOP election official from St Louis is the founder and CEO of exactly one company called KNOWiNK LLC, which “helps election officials run successful elections” and “provides secure and innovative election solutions”. Whatever that means.

KNOWiNK revenue for 2024 is $5,616,000.

While the sale price of Dominion Voting Systems has not been made public, in 2020 the company was valued at $220,000,000.

I’m not a business person, but does this look like a shit ton of outside money from invisible investors is clanking around this deal?

Luckily we got all the slurm we could slurm.

There was an idea planted in the head of everyone who had ears to listen back when Snowden exposed the NSA. The years since have just been you coming to terms with it.

If you didnt learn to live in the in-between you are now subjects of the clown kings. Your freedoms are contingent on their mercy.

I feel like ownership of these companies is inherently problematic. Pretty much no matter who owns them, there's an incentive to bias the votes somehow.

100% think there's going to be a sharp uptick in Republican "support" now though.

Between the MAGA regime now owning voting machines: https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/dominion-voting-systems-sold-to-gop-firm-right-after-settling-defamation-suits-vs-oann-giuliani-powell/

And the 19 new MAGA house seats pending a SCOTUS rubber stamp: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/08/republicans-scotus-vra-00597212

I don't know if USA will last till midterms

When we bought 4 years with biden that was truly all we bought. Even if we eeked out a kamala win it would have just been another 4. The democratic party just doesnt have the vision to imagine a world where the elite will truly do anything to implement their dystopian rule.

This is the long game. Remember: the trees you plant today you will never have the privilege of sitting in their shade.

There is no final defeat. The battle must be fought every election and every day in between

It was never safe to have electronic voting

Bring back paper voting

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That likely won't be safe either. Trump wants to have soldier stationed at polling places to keep things "safe".

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

There's a substantial difference between distrust of systems that can be tampered with discretely and soldiers forcing people to vote a particular way

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's literally what they're planning on doing. I don't like it.

Paper voting means no more mail-in voting, which makes it a lot harder for democrats to win elections.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

What's wrong with mail voting? It's still paper

[–] Verdorrterpunkt@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

What idiot had the idea to have anything related to voting commercialised in the first place?

Is this a distraction from the Epstein files?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 43 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Honestly at this point the Epstein files are a distraction from the unmitigated advancement of the fascist regime being enacted up on this nation.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

It was the real 4d chess all along.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

at this point

At every point

There was a brief time when the possibility, however small it may have been, was feasible of it incurring material consequences within the system that would have, at the very least, disrupted their plans for a few years but that moment came and went due to feckless bastards, drunk on power, who refused to break decorum and constantly made concessions against the public interest to play nice with the opposition and save face with their corporate donors.

Now the fervor generated by it has been co-opted to serve as a red herring to keep the hungry masses occupied and bickering, waiting for their big gotcha moment while the levers of power grind away what little liberties they had under the previous system.

Yes, previous system. The old system is dead. We are now in the grip of a fascist regime being formed right before our eyes.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago

This is the end game for making the epstein files irrelevant

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

almost all the news coming out is distraction from the files.
