# Scott Leiendecker **Scott Leiendecker** is the owner of [[Liberty Vote]], the voting-system manufacturer formerly called [[Dominion Voting Systems]], which he acquired in **October 2025** and renamed. He is a former Republican election official — director of elections for the City of St. Louis — and the founder of **KNOWiNK**, a Missouri company that sells electronic poll books. He is a genuinely unusual figure in this vault's subject matter: a Republican election administrator who bought the company that the right-wing election-fraud movement spent five years treating as the villain of 2020, and who said on acquisition that he would push it toward paper ballots. This is a stub — created in the 2026-10-02 ASCII map build for [[How Election Results Are Transmitted and Reported]]. Expand with his tenure in St. Louis, KNOWiNK's contracts and ownership, the acquisition's financing and whatever is disclosed about it, and his public positions on tabulation and hand counts. ## See Also - [[Liberty Vote]] · [[Dominion Voting Systems]] - [[How Election Results Are Transmitted and Reported]] - [[How a Voting System Is Certified and Decertified]]
