A sample ballot showing using the Dominion voting system, these machines were attacked by former President Trump after the 2020 election.

The Stark County Committee of Three People in Ohio refused to purchase more than 1,400 new Dominion voting machines. The county’s election committee had recommended the purchase, but under pressure from supporters of former President Trump, three members voted to withhold the purchase funds. Trump supporters wrongly accused these machines of manipulating the voting results in favor of Biden. President.

For months, local Trump supporters in Stark County, where Canton is located, expressed their complaints and opinions about the Dominion voting machine.

County Commissioner Bill Smith said in February that the response of local residents to whether to buy a new voting machine "far exceeded the response of any subject that any of us received before the board of directors."

Commissioners Smith, Janet Weir Creighton and Richard Regula voted against the election commission’s recommendation to purchase these machines on Wednesday, saying they must weigh the long-term viability of the purchase.

The committee’s resolution stated: “As long as there is a potential cloud...or the public’s perceptions or concerns about the long-term viability of the supplier, regardless of the reason or reason, the county must consider the long-term viability of the supplier.” When spending millions of dollars Taxpayer's money.

Trump and many of his inner circle helped create this kind of cloud. Even after multiple audits and recounts in several states and counties that used the company's equipment showed that the machine was okay, his camp continued to spread the lie that the Dominion machine changed votes. It is now clear that false propaganda activities have a direct impact on the company's business.

According to The Advocate report, officials in at least one other state in Louisiana abandoned their plans to purchase Dominion voting machines after residents pressured them.

This month, Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin cancelled plans to find a company to provide the state with a new voting machine after residents called Republican lawmakers to ask the state not to hire Dominion. The company is one of three bidders for a potentially worth $100 million contract.

After the company's reputation was damaged, Dominion offered to cooperate with local officials to save its business, while the company's employees continued to endure death threats.

Dominion has filed three defamation lawsuits against former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell; MyPillow and its CEO Mike Lindell; and Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Everyone was sued for $1.3 billion in damages.
