Dominion Voting Systems, once at the center of 2020 election conspiracies, has been sold to a firm run by a former Republican elections official promising to “restore trust in voting.” Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to do it.

History has taught us that Americans will tolerate government overreach when the economy is good.

The question now is: will they tolerate fascism while eggs are $8, healthcare costs go up, and no one can get a job?

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
