SHOCKER: Jasmine Crockett Makes Incredible Statement on Election Machines
“I personally believe that that ally purchased Dominion so that he could potentially play with the machines"...
In a surprising twist, a radical ‘Squad’ member who has sharply criticized so-called Trump “election denialism” is now promoting her own “conspiracy theory” about electronic voting machines.
Jasmine Crockett’s new claims show an incredible moral flexibility when it comes to making explosive claims about America’s lack of election integrity.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a freshman Democrat and left-wing media star, argued on Monday that Dominion Voting Systems — recently acquired and rebranded as “Liberty Vote” by a former Republican election official — could be used to rig the 2026 midterm elections against Democrats.
Speaking on Democratic attorney Marc Elias’ “Defending Democracy” podcast, Crockett claimed that Scott Leiendecker, the new owner of Dominion and a former GOP elections official in Missouri, may have bought the company to tamper with vote counts in upcoming races.
She called for secretaries of state to avoid contracting with the firm, though she offered no concrete evidence for her accusations.
“I personally believe that that ally purchased Dominion so that he could potentially play with the machines,” Crockett said. “Because we know that they’re trying to cheat by changing the lines for the midterms, and I think that they’re trying to solidify their cheat potentially with the voting machines.”
Crockett’s claim echoes the kind of election tampering allegations that many Democrats have previously dismissed as baseless when voiced by Republicans in the wake of the 2020 election.
That year, Dominion was accused of switching votes on a mass scale from Donald Trump to Joe Biden — an allegation that led to defamation lawsuits and massive legal settlements from Fox News ($787 million) and Newsmax ($67 million).
Leiendecker, who acquired Dominion in October and renamed it Liberty Vote, has said the goal is to “restore trust” in election systems through “paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity.” His public statement emphasized a continued commitment to secure voting technologies and did not suggest any intention to alter or manipulate election outcomes.
Liberty Vote did not respond to a request for comment on Crockett’s remarks.
Crockett framed her suspicions within a broader critique of Republican redistricting efforts, which she described as part of a strategy to “cheat” in upcoming elections. She also accused former President Trump of not wanting accessible voting and implied he would be willing to cheat to win.
The episode adds a layer of irony to the national debate on election integrity: while Crockett and other Democrats have frequently condemned what they describe as Republican ‘conspiracy theories’ about voting machines, Crockett is now using a similar playbook — alleging electoral manipulation without substantiating her claims.
Election officials in several states currently using Dominion machines have not indicated any changes in policy or expressed concern about the company’s rebranding under new ownership.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to review whether states can count mail-in ballots received after Election Day — another case that has put questions of election law and voter trust front and center in the run-up to 2026.
The bottom line is that mail-in ballots and voting machines will continue to be political footballs for both the right and left until we can put the uncertainty to rest through voter IDs, all-paper ballots, and a return to voting on a single Election Day.
