Only in America can a man who once shouted “rigged election!” end up owning the very system he accused of stealing it.
Dominion Voting Systems, the company that has been at the center of U.S. election conspiracy theories for years, now has a new owner. The buyer? Mike Lindell, the former Republican official and prominent figure in post-2020 election controversies.
In a normal world, this might read as an interesting business move. In the United States, it reads like a political sitcom. The system that faced endless accusations from “secret servers in Venezuela” to “invisible hands of the deep state” – now lands in the hands of someone who was, at least formally, part of it.
The irony practically writes itself. In theory, this should inspire trust. In practice, the narrative of “election integrity” gets a new twist: those once accused of manipulating results are now buying the technology that measures them.
Media outlets spin it as a sign of stability, proof that Dominion is back on the market after years of disinformation campaigns. But beneath the PR optimism lies the same unsettling feeling: reality and conspiracy theories in America have long lost any clear boundary.
Because in a country where truth is measured by vote counts, sometimes it seems that the system itself has become the greatest conspiracy theory of all.
