Executive summary

Several jurisdictions and local governments cut ties with Dominion after 2020, but no single source in the provided reporting lists a full, state-by-state map of statewide terminations; Dominion equipment was used across roughly 24–28 states in 2020 (figures vary by source) and some counties and localities later canceled contracts or faced pressure to do so [1] [2] [3].

1. What the 2020 footprint looked like — scale matters

Dominion’s systems were widely used in the 2020 cycle: multiple sources report Dominion equipment in roughly two dozen to 28 states and Puerto Rico, with lists including big states such as Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and others [1] [2] [4]. That national footprint helps explain why post‑2020 scrutiny produced both statewide debates and scattered local contract decisions [2].

2. Most reactions were local, not wholesale state abandonment

After the 2020 election, reporting shows individual counties and municipalities sometimes moved away from Dominion equipment — for example, Shasta County, California terminated its contract early citing loss of public confidence [3]. Multiple pieces make the same point: pressure and cancellations were largely at the county or local level rather than blanket, immediate statewide defections [3] [1].

3. Courts, recounts and federal statements undercut the core fraud claims

Recounts and official reviews in key states found no evidence that Dominion machines “deleted” or switched votes; federal authorities such as CISA stated “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised,” and hand recounts in Georgia and Wisconsin confirmed accuracy, shifting attention toward human error where problems occurred [2] [5] [6].

4. Political pressure and public confidence drove some contract changes

Even where technical reviews cleared machines, political fallout mattered. Conservative officials and activists who embraced post‑2020 conspiracy claims pressured election administrators; local boards cited loss of public confidence as a reason for terminating contracts, illustrating how reputation and politics — not just security findings — altered procurement decisions [3].

5. No authoritative list in these sources showing states that “switched away” statewide

Available sources here do not present a definitive, sourced list of entire states that ended statewide use of Dominion after 2020. The reporting documents local cancellations (Shasta County) and notes the broad state presence of Dominion in 2020 [3] [1] [2], but does not enumerate states that formally moved off Dominion systems statewide.

6. Post‑2020 market effects and the continuing picture

The controversy hurt Dominion’s reputation and business opportunities, according to reporting; some jurisdictions reconsidered contracts and officials said political backlash affected procurement discussions [3]. More recent market developments — including the 2025 sale of Dominion to new owners and rebranding as Liberty Vote — have added another layer of uncertainty for jurisdictions deciding whether to keep, replace or renegotiate equipment contracts [7] [8] [9].

7. Competing narratives: security experts vs. public distrust

Election‑technology and cybersecurity experts repeatedly said there was no evidence of systemic fraud tied to Dominion hardware and software [2] [6]. By contrast, some elected officials and local boards acted on political pressure and fear of eroded legitimacy among voters, a dynamic that produced cancellations despite expert findings [3]. Both forces shaped post‑2020 outcomes.

8. How to read these contradictions — what the sources imply

Taken together, the reporting shows that factual technical clearances did not automatically restore public trust; political decisions and local contract politics drove many of the departures from Dominion gear. The sources indicate a mix of local contract terminations and continuing statewide contracts in many places — not a coordinated, uniform exodus of states [3] [9] [1].

Limitations: these sources do not provide a comprehensive, sourced inventory of every county or state action after 2020; available reporting documents notable local cancellations and the company’s broad use in 2020 but does not list every statewide switch [1] [3].
