Texas AG Ken Paxton has opened a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION into Dominion Voting Systems for potential election-related crimes
Dominion Voting Systems has long been considered a controversial choice of voting machine provider. It is one of 10 different voting systems manufacturers that the federal Election Assistance Commission has approved. This election cycle, the election machines will be used by 27 states and Puerto Rico, including in some of the largest counties in the United States.

Its ongoing use despite its controversial past has raised concerns – especially in Texas and Michigan. In the latter state, the sheriff's office of Barry County said it has been referring suspected electoral crimes to Paxton.
"The Barry County Sheriff's Office has an ongoing investigation into election-related crimes since December 2020," said Sheriff Dar Leaf in a statement explaining how his office "has made referrals for criminal investigations to the Texas Attorney General's Office."
The statement further noted that Leaf's requests for aid have been answered, and Paxton's office has opened a criminal investigation into Dominion Voting Systems as well as other companies that either supply voting machines or other election technologies, including Election Systems & Software, Hart InterCivic and SolarWinds. Certain "subcontractors, agents and employees" have also been included in the investigation.
"The Barry County Sheriff's Office will continue to collaborate and assist the Texas Attorney General with its ongoing investigation. More information will be provided as it can be publicly released without compromising these ongoing investigations," concluded Leaf's statement. "The Barry County Sheriff's Office appreciates the Texas Attorney General's prompt and thorough response."
Michigan already reporting problems with Dominion Voting Systems machines
The Michigan Department of State warned that it was experiencing a programming issue with "some" Dominion Voting Systems machines being used in the state. It claimed this will not prevent voters from casting their ballots, but it may make it "more inconvenient" for some of them.
According to the state government, people using the Dominion machines will have to carefully follow instructions to verify their ballot selections if they don't want to be hit with an error message. This error message may come up if a voter selects the "straight party" option at the beginning of the voting process, but then chooses to instead cast votes for candidates from different parties later on.
"Although the issue will not stop people from voting or making their preferred selections, and it will not change anyone's votes, it will make the process more inconvenient for some voters using the VATs [Voter Assist Terminals]," said the department.
Dominion Voting Systems provides voters with disabilities the VATs to help them mark their ballots.
The Michigan State Department noted that the issue will only affect voters in counties that use equipment from Dominion. Each early voting site and polling place in these counties has at least one VAT to aid disabled voters.
While only Michigan has reported this concern, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson claimed that the issue was affecting Dominion VATs "nationwide."
"I think all of us that use Dominion machines were unhappy to learn about this during the testing period and as early voting began," she said. "We're working with Dominion to seek accountability on that front and also are working with our clerks to ensure voters are aware of this programming issue that will require them to ensure they are voting every section on the ballot."
