Why We Vote Ep. 146: Dominion Rebranded, Election Monopolies & The Illusion of Reform

CannCon and Ashe in America take on one of the biggest election stories in years, Dominion’s quiet sale and rebrand to “Liberty Vote.” The duo unpacks how this deal was kept hidden from state officials, why the same players remain in charge, and what it really means for America’s election systems. Ashe shares behind-the-scenes details from Colorado’s county clerks and the contradictions between official statements and what’s being told to local leaders. CannCon exposes the merger’s deeper implications, from potential data consolidation to the loss of election transparency, and questions whether the public is simply being pacified with a new name. Joined by election integrity expert Holly Kesler, they trace the tangled web of companies behind Dominion, KnowInk, and Liberty Vote, warning that this merger could create a monopoly over both machines and poll pads. The discussion expands to Georgia’s election board corruption, Dr. Jan Johnston’s fight for accountability, and Colonel Conrad Reynolds’ shocking indictment for exit polling in Arkansas. Packed with revelations, outrage, and humor, this episode pulls back the curtain on what may be the most important, and deceptive, “reform” in modern election history.
