    Republicans have been claiming for years, completely 
    without merit, that Dominion has been involved in a 
    variety of vote-changing schemes
Just Republicans? https://thefederalist.com/2016/10/19/8-times-liberals-claime...

Which of the examples in your list alleges that "Dominion has been involved in a [...] vote-changing scheme"?

Not sure. Here's a democrat that wanted to look at the source code for the Election Systems & Software. Inc. machines. https://www.heraldtribune.com/article/LK/20061229/News/60524...

Your question implies that you feel that Dominion is somehow different from other companies doubted by democrats, and itself must never be doubted. Why is it different?

Dominion Voting Systems was created because ES&S was forced to sell Premier Election Solutions due to antitrust concerns. ES&S has been subject of various errors and controversies:

I also recall seeing liberal concern over Dominion in GA prior to the election. Regardless, it's a powerful industry with a justifiably large amount of public scrutiny, even if we don't always get the transparency we deserve. All of these systems should be public, open source, and verifiable with paper trails.
