Dominion Voting Systems has been purchased by Liberty Vote, a firm headed by a former GOP election official with ties to a staunch ally of President Donald Trump -- just weeks after Dominion settled several defamation lawsuits it filed in the wake of the 2020 election.

      I don’t like it either. But …

      Third-Party Auditing: Incorporating rigorous, industry-leading third-party auditing standards to verify election integrity at every step."

      … does sound like a good step. Give NPR/researchers access and only run audited code. It’s what we’d ask of Republicans if Democrats owned the company.

      I’d still prefer open source.

        They’re not talking third-party as in political party. Third-party just references an outside individual or group they don’t directly control. The third-party auditor won’t be an independent third-party. It will 100% be a GOP-aligned group.

          It doesn’t even need to be “aligned”. I remember the savings and loan debacle.
