Should Dominion Voting Systems Be Removed from U.S. Elections?

Recent revelations about Dominion Voting Systems raise serious questions about their suitability for managing American elections. Two specific concerns—employment practices and legal responses—suggest a pattern that warrants scrutiny, even if no illegal activity has been proven.
Public records show that Eric Coomer, a former Director of Product Strategy and Security at Dominion, posted anti-Trump content on social media from 2016 to 2020, including calling the former president a “carnival barker” and urging friends to unfriend supporters (Colorado District Court, 2021). Coomer held a senior role overseeing security for voting systems used in 28 states during the 2020 election. Dominion retained him until public backlash and threats prompted his profile’s removal in late 2020, raising questions about their vetting processes.
Additionally, Dominion operates an office in Belgrade, Serbia, where nationals are employed for software development and testing, as reported by CSO Online (2025). Sheriff Dar Leaf of Barry County, Michigan, released emails showing Serbian contractors accessed Dominion systems, such as a login from Kosovo in April 2020 (Detroit News, 2024). His affidavit suggests potential vetting challenges due to Serbian privacy laws (WOODTV, 2024), though this remains unverified. This foreign involvement in election technology, even for pre-election tasks, contrasts with the expectation of a fully domestic process.
Compounding these issues, Dominion has pursued over 20 lawsuits against individuals and media outlets questioning their practices, including a $787.5 million settlement with Fox News (New York Times, 2024) and actions against Sheriff Leaf’s attorney (Detroit News, 2024). This legal strategy has been seen by some as an attempt to silence criticism, further eroding trust.
Pre-existing skepticism about Dominion, heightened by the 2020 election’s controversies and a 30% public distrust rate (Gallup, 2021), suggests these concerns are not isolated. Audits found no widespread fraud (Michigan Senate, 2021), but their focus on vote counts may not address underlying management issues. The combination of a politically vocal employee, foreign contractors, and aggressive litigation raises valid questions about Dominion’s ability to maintain the neutrality and security American elections demand.

Our votes are supposed to be confidential. Dominion voting machines are connected to the internet. If you look up past election interferences there was mention that our elections via Dominion were shared to another country. Germany to be specific.
So yes, I would say remove Dominion voting machines from our elections. But then that will also open the door to other nefarious ways of keeping track with us that are already in our midst.
