Weeks before the 2022 midterms, a stranger showed up at the Denver headquarters of Dominion Voting Systems. He didn’t have an appointment, so the front desk asked him to leave. But staffers noticed him lingering outside, and one Dominion executive spotted a rifle case and scope in his vehicle.

A week later, the man returned, rambling about supposed problems with election security. He then said he had a pistol in his car. Alarmed, Dominion staff got the police involved and later obtained a restraining order. The episode, described in court filings and by a senior Dominion official who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity, is part of the continued fallout from 2020 election lies.

An even larger voting company, Election Systems & Software, or ES&S, whose products are used in more than 1,500 jurisdictions across the country, was spared from the 2020 smears. But it’s learning a lesson from what happened to Coomer and took a drastic step earlier this year, by forcing its staffers to undergo a social media “background check” to screen for any political posts, according to three former employees who spoke to CNN.
