I am writing to express my deep concern about the recent acquisition of Dominion Voting Systems by Liberty Vote and to urge immediate action to safeguard the integrity of Arizona's elections. This sudden change in ownership raises significant questions about the reliability and trustworthiness of our voting systems. The transformation of Dominion into Liberty Vote, as evidenced by the redirection of Dominion's website to libertyvote.com, represents a major shift in our election technology landscape. While Liberty Vote claims to prioritize election integrity, their connection to Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican election director, introduces potential partisan influence into our voting systems. I strongly urge you to take immediate action to terminate any existing contracts between Arizona and Liberty Vote. Furthermore, I request the swift removal of any voting machines or systems provided by this company from our election processes. Our state should transition to a system that prioritizes transparency and security, such as hand-marked paper ballots, which are already used by most U.S. voters and align with best practices for election security. The integrity of our democratic process is at stake. We cannot afford to use voting systems that may be compromised or influenced by partisan interests. By taking decisive action now, you can demonstrate Arizona's commitment to fair and secure elections, restoring voter confidence and ensuring the sanctity of every ballot cast in our state. Time is of the essence. With upcoming elections on the horizon, we need to act swiftly to implement these changes and communicate them clearly to the public. I urge you to prioritize this matter and take concrete steps to protect Arizona's electoral process from potential manipulation or distrust. Our democracy depends on your leadership in this critical moment.
