scott leiendecker

Scott Leiendecker is a former Republican election official who served as director of elections in St. Louis. He founded an election technology company called KnowInk, known for products like Poll Pad, used in over 1,700 districts across 35 states. In October 2025, Leiendecker acquired Dominion Voting Systems, a company that was at the center of false 2020 election fraud claims, and rebranded it as Liberty Vote. He aims to restore public trust in elections by emphasizing paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity in voting technology. Leiendecker has Republican ties and has expressed alignment with former President Donald Trump's vision of election security through hand- marked paper ballots. Liberty Vote now operates as a US-based firm after acquiring Dominion, which was previously Canada-based.
